The iPhone dev team is at it again with what they are best at – coming up with updated jailbreak iphone tools; and in the process giving Apple sleepless nights. This time around they have come up with an updated version of pwnage tool, which is the version 3.1.4. Currently available for Mac OS X, this updated version will be able to offer a jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.1.2. For your information, it already supports the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and 3GS as well as the 1st and 2nd generation iPod touch .
Get started if you have a jailbreak iphone…..
TIf you have a jailbroken iPhone, just create or import from a friend your custom IPSW and Option-Restore (Shift-Restore on Windows) to it via iTunes. Make sure not to enter DFU mode and also ensure that you are restoring to the custom IPSW and not the reserve one from Apple. You may however, try using the latest iTunes (9.0.1), which seems to be a good and innovative application organizer.
The special feature of this updated pwnagetool release from the dev team is that it allows your baseband to remain unlocked at 3.1.2; however it does not unlock a new baseband put there by restoring to official 3.1.x. Therefore, it is important for all of you (who wants to unlock) to realize that they can keep it only by starting at 3.0 (or earlier) and updating solely to custom IPSWs that don’t update the baseband.
On the other hand, those who have already unlocked your iPhone; all you need to do is simply install ultrasn0w via Cydia, as soon as you’ve restored to your custom IPSW. The dev team blog also carries a note to the 3GS users who have not already jailbroken and stuck at 3.1.x - Pwnage Tool 3.1.4 version of pwnagetool has a side feature to jailbreak your 3GS.
Note this latest update: Ensure that iTunes and iTunesHelper are not running when PwnageTool seeks information from you if your 3GS is already jailbroken or pwned or not.
Highlights: Pwnage Tool 3.1.4
- The iPhone 3GS is now supported out of the box in PwnageTool 3.1.4
- The iPod 2G is still supported in PwnageTool 3.1.4; however it must already be jailbroken
- PwnageTool 3.1.4 does not support theiPod touch 3G.
- If you are using aniPhone 3G or iPhone 3G (S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool.
- PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS and theiPod touch 2G
- However pwnage tool will only work for 1st generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the 1st and 2nd generation iPod Touch but it will not work for the 3rd generation iPod Touch.
- For all 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, pwnage tool is your key to updating in the future. All you need to remember is to never install an update directly from Apple; instead always use an .ipsw that has been created with pwnage tool.
- The dev team further reiterates that PwnageTool is a Mac OS X tool only. They do not have a Windows version of it nor are they developing a Windows version of the pwnage tool.
