• iPod touch 3G

The iPod touch 2G iPod Touch 3G iPhone 3GS need to have the signature checks disabled beforehand by having a pwned iBoot either by jailbreaking using a iBoot exploit or using the iBooty method. The S5L8900 devices can enter DFU Mode and restore with iTunes without being jailbroken.

What about the iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch 4?

A iBoot Exploit or a bootrom exploit is required to run custom firmware.No such low level exploits has been found yet so there is no custom firmware.

Why is it tethered with the later-generation models?

Sn0wbreeze is tethered on later model devices due to the lack of a bootrom exploit like 0x24000_Segment_Overflow or pwnage.

Problems

There are some problems with blacksn0w because it relies on the 3.1.2 CommCenter, and needs to be updated to the 3.1.3 version. If installed it will cause your iPhone to go into a boot loop.

Use of xpwn

The backend of sn0wbreeze is xpwn, an open-source custom IPSW generator created by planetbeing in parallel with iPhone Dev Team developments of techniques and tools. xpwn runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Given a "bundle" of patches from either PwnageTool or sn0wbreeze, xpwn driven from the command line is able to create the same custom IPSW as either tool. All Fixes to xpwn made by iH8sn0w have been made available. [1].
