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. The iPhone 2G, and iPod touch 1G users cannot use sn0wbreeze to pwn 4.x since Apple no longer supports these devices anymore.

iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, iPad 1G

You are currently unavailable to use sn0wbreeze on these devices since there is no bootrom exploit, or iBoot exploit. At the moment, there is a bootrom exploit in development called SHAtter, when it is done sn0wbreeze will most likely be updated support these devices.

Devices with new bootroms

sn0wbreeze is tethered on devices with a new bootrom, the reason being is because the lack of a bootrom exploit such as 0x24000_Segment_Overflow or pwnage.

Problems

• There were some problems with blacksn0w on 3.1.3. These problems were caused because the 5.11.07 modem firmware requires CommCenter from 3.1.2, and when people would upgrade their firmware they would also upgrade their CommCenter to the version that came with 3.1.3. Thus disabling the unlock.

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].

Support

There are tools made for sn0wbreeze which help you restore to you custom ipsw. One of these tools is called iREB, it uploads file in DFU mode to help you restore to a ipsw, with less chance of error.
