Step-by-Step Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS running iPhone OS 3.0 using Redsn0w (Windows)
Step 1: Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop.
Step 2: Download redsn0w from here and put it in the Pwnage folder that you had just created.
Step 3: Also download the iPhone OS 3.0 firmware from the location below and put it under the Pwnage folder. Please use Firefox to download the firmware as IE seems to automatically extract the file.

Step 4: Now extract the redsn0w executable (.exe) from the zip file into the Pwnage folder.
Step 5: Now connect your iPhone 3GS to your computer and launch the iTunes.
Step 6: Select your iPhone from the list of devices mentioned on the left hand side. Click and hold down the Shift key and click on the Restore button.
Step 7: Go to the Pwnage folder. Select the firmware with the extension .ipsw and click the Open button.
Step 8: Once iTunes finishes updating your iPhone, launch the redsn0w.exe from the Pwnage folder on your desktop.
Step 9: After the redsn0w opens up click on the Browse button shown below.
Step 10: Now, select the firmware ipsw that you had placed into Pwnage folder and click Open button.
Step 11: After the firmware has been verified, click the Next button to continue.
Step 12: Make sure that you select the check box for Cydia and click the Next button.
Step 13: Now redsn0w will instruct you on how to put your iPhone 3GS into the recovery mode. Disconnect your iPhone from the computer and power it OFF. Hold down the Home button while you reconnect your iPhone 3GS to the computer.
Note: Do not let go of the Home button until redsn0w detects your iPhone and begins the installation.
Step 14: Your iPhone will now reboot itself.
Step 15: redsn0w will then start to upload the new RAM Disk and the kernel on your iPhone.
Step 16: redsn0w will notify you when it’s completed. Click on the Finish button.
Step 17: Your iPhone 3GS should take about 5 minutes to reboot, and once your device finishes rebooting, it will be jailbroken with Cydia available on your iPhone’s home screen.
