As the iphone jailbreak community is celebrating and basking in the glory of Geohot’s jailbreaking tool Blackrai1n, comes the news of Apple shipping the new iPhone 3GS which may be immune to jailbreaking. Reports suggest that this new 3G S device comes with a new Bootrom, iBoot-359.3.2 that is not susceptible to the 24kpwn exploit currently used to jailbreak iphone and iPod Touch. This can be considered as a deliberate attempt to stop the jailbreak in its tracks by shipping new iPhones with an updated bootrom.

Apple challenges iPhone dev team ……..

Is this an open challenge from Apple Inc. to the unofficial iPhone dev team who had been giving the smartphone giant sleepless nights? It is heard that MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has acknowledged that the loss of the 24kpwn exploit indicates that a normal jailbreak would not be possible for the time being. Instead, he has suggested finding old stock or restored units till another exploit for the new bootrom is developed.

Although, this is indeed bad news for some of you living in countries beyond Apple support and have recently purchased a spanking new iPhone 3GS. You must have surely relied on the dev team’s recently released PwnageTool 3.1.4, which is the latest Mac hacking utility for iPhones and iPods.

The iPhone dev team has suggested in a recent report asking 3GS users to save their ECID hashes for iPhone OS 3.1.2. One believes this could be an important factor of future jailbreaking efforts. As such, you must be fully aware of the functions and consequences of iphone unlocking or jailbreaking. Or else, if you are just doing it because others are doing, you could end up bricking or rendering your iPhone totally useless.

iPhone unlocking helps you to break-free from Apple’s exclusive network/ and have your own preferred carrier installed. If you have not yer unlocked your iPhone, and mulling over it, You can easily unlock your iPhone from easyiphoneunlocking.com at cost effective rates.
