Slide the red slider and let the phone shut down. Take iPhone off dock. Plug the dock cable back in.
If the iPhone doesn't turn on by itself, press and release the power button
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold both the Power and Home buttons.

The phone will power off (keep holding the buttons!) and restart.
Soon it will display a yellow triangle and the message "Connect to iTunes


At this point Jailbreak will begin performing mysterious operations on your phone. Wait for it to complete and don't touch anything. You should receive this message at the end:
Enjoy your newfound freedom. Thank the devs at #iphone next time you see them for making this all possible.
p.s. Like most other useful tools, this one may be dangerous if used carelessly. Always remember -- You brick it, you bought it.

exactly how long does this part take. how long till you get the message is what i mean.

Still not having any luck after the 1.0.2 update.

[Ldc4S]

same here, hey wjp09, which update files are you talking about that I need both of?

[EvilRufusKay]

I take it that this will not work with the 1.1.1 update correct? I just bought the phone and updated prior to joining this site... Wish I had not as customizing a phone is the the best part of owning a cool device (for me anyway). From what I have read there is no work around for the 1.1.1 update. Is this true?

Thanks for your time in making this tutorial BTW!! Hope I can use it someday!! : )

Until the dev team cracks the encryption applied to the latest update, jailbreak ing is defunct, rendering all 3rd party apps back to jail...
