iPhone Dev Team Urges Future-Proofing jailbreak iPhone 3GS

An Apple update has always been exciting for all iPhone users and even more inspiring for the iPhone dev team and the large following of users who use unlocked/ jailbreak iPhone.

Although there has been no official acceptance of iPhone unlocking, the steady increase of iPhone users opting for jailbreak iPhone is on the rise and the number of readers (currently at 36, 162) following the iPhone dev team blog boosts confidence in itself.

One factor that has been keeping the dev team stressed on and off is that, if you are interested to continue with the jailbreak or unlock on your 3GS, you should restrain all temptations to install Apple’s official firmware updates; and that too without knowing if a jailbreak is viable for that version yet. If you acknowledge official updates regardless of waiting a different bootrom exploit for the 3GS that doesn’t require a signed official iBoot, it may cause you to be disconnected from the jailbreak.

What IF you ‘unknowingly’ take an official 3GS update…

It happens many a times when after being tempted to install the latest Apple updates for the iPhone 3GS into your jailbroken iPhone; you regret the decision and ponder if there was a way to retract. The dev team clearly cautions against this practice; however, at the same time it definitely the shows the way for all those who like to revert to a jailbreakable 3GS (not unlock).

You can opt for the dev team blog suggested methods like the iTunes /tmp technique and let us know your feedback. You may also seek the help of saurik’s new ’on file’ server method to future proof the jailbreak iPhone 3GS throughout all potential updates. The iPhone dev team also reiterates the need to avoid doing an actual firmware update, even after adjusting your iTunes setup.

iPhone ‘unlocking’ is lost with 3G S update

There are some clouds of confusion about the impact of Apple iPhone 3G S update on unlocked and jailbreak iPhone. Here, the dev team makes an incredible attempt to educate the users that ‘jailbreaking and unlocking have two different security mechanisms’. Even if you can restore jailbreak iPhone on installing Apple updates, you will possibly lose your carrier unlock forever on updating your 3GS (or 3G) to 3.1 or downgrading from 3.1 to 3.0.

Moreover, the dev team has developed method by which you will be able to create custom 3.1 IPSWs using PwnageTool. This allows you to pre-hack your 3.1 update in a specific way that helps you preserve the carrier unlock. So, there are no hassles involved; get ready for the excitement and unlock your iPhone with easyiphoneunlocking.com.

so, has anyone developed software to counter the effects of us not so smart iphone users who unknowingly installed iphones new software.The software companies never return youe email. I for one did a charge back to the company who sold me their jailbrake/unlocking program. Hey when someone gives you a guarantee they must stand by it. I encourage all that have this problem to do a charge back. its easy, maybe these companies will start doing something.
