    You can add Linux into instructions, though most linux users won't need it. They just need to open properties on it if they use a file manager and click the box to allow execution as a program, close properties box, then just double click it (or single if you use that option which is common amongst thunar users)

    It has the same/or similar UI so it isn't anymore complicating than the others.

    iPhone3,3 is the model. iPhone1,1=2G; 1,2=3G; 2,1=3GS; 3,1=4 GSM; 3,3=4 CDMA; 4,1=4S.
    Jailbreak it with redsn0w 0.9.14b2.

    Redsn0w will identify it as Verizon because it is CDMA, the hardware is the same. Never use the Erase All Content and Settings button when jailbroken. Restore with iTunes and then jailbreak with redsn0w 0.9.14b2.

    I get this error message when I connect my iphone to my computer. iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not establish a secure connection to the device.
