PwnageTool 4.0 Release Info
THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO JAILBREAK AND UNLOCK 3G/3GS. I WOULD ADVISE TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE OF REDSN0W OR BLACKRA1N. GEOHOT WILL HAVE SOMETHING SOON.
ONLY USE PWNAGE TOOL IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
PwnageTool 4.0 Release Info
On Monday, Apple released firmware 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices, this of course was a major upgrade.
As advised, you shouldn’t have upgraded your devices if you have previously relied on our tools for hacktivation and/or a carrier unlock.
With that said, today we are releasing PwnageTool 4.0
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY, THERE ARE KNOWN UPGRADE TRAPS AND DIFFERENT UPGRADE SCENARIOS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED BEFORE USING THESE TOOLS.
Each supported device has few different scenarios that users need to consider when performing the upgrades, you need to check below and perform the upgrade in the particular way that matches your current device state.
NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 certain devices are not supported this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software.
- iPhone 2G - not supported
- iPod Touch – not supported
- iPod Touch 3G – not supported
iPhone 3G
- If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
- If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 ipsw using DFU mode.
- If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.
iPhone 3GS
Summary: PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.
- If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with recovery mode.
- If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0
iPod touch 2G
- If you have an iPod touch 2G that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
Baseband Unlock
- iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions, once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.0, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.
- Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock – but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in).

What about the iPod touch 2g mc model?
I think I’ll wait for GEOHOT’S JB & Unlock. His are always easy to implement, I’d rather not take any chances. (Where are you GEOHOT?)
Hè i just don’t get it..
Is it a simple jailbreak with Cydia and such of stuff.. And how about the mc model and 82.plist?
It’s not simple, if by that you mean blacrain and spirit. It’s a little more difficult, and certainly has more strict requirements. Geohot announced pwned4life which seems really good. I don’t meet the requirements for pwnagetool (by the way can anybody tell me why 3gs needs to be already jailbroken?) so i’ll wait for snowbreeze or blackrain
Geohot announced it? I thought it was just a rumour. He said it might not even be released
More rumor than anything, he has been very quiet and no one knows much, I have a feeling MAYBE we could see it come out on the 24th, but he may need to test iphone 4 also. It could be coming out soon or in a while.
Is there anyone that is working on the 3gs new bootloader to jailbreak sine most new 3gs have this rom ? Thank you I can’t wait to upgrade but I want until there is a tool.
Thanks
Well geohot said he had found this revolutionary exploit in paris at aconference
You know how geohot is, amazing but it takes him a little while to release things. Of course his oneclick jailbreak Is the best out, except spirit, but I’m sure limera1n will be worth the wait
I have 3g iPhone jailbreak not really sure how to get it unlock. I’ve also seen that ultrasnow on cydia. Wat to do
Limera1n is that it. All we have to is wait people!!! It will be worth it.trust me LOL
Got an 3gs 3.1.3 wt bootloader 6.4 n baseband 5.12.01 mc model..
jailbroken wt spirit..
I can’t make calls
ne guidence what I should be doin next to jailbreak n also make calls..
On a 3gs jb by spirit. If I were to reset to factory defaults back on 3.1.3 will it work to jailbreak with pwnage?
I dont think its going ti
obe called limerain. Geohot said that anybody could have registered that domain with his name and email. I think it will be blackrain rc4. If u look in the source of limerain.com u see a comment marking ” is lime even a color?” so i think its fake
I upgraded my 3Gs from 3.1.2 (jailbroken) to 4.0 via ITunes. Unfortunately I lost access to a Mac to run the new PwnageTool. So I downgraded to 3.1.2, jailbroke with blackra1n, and finally restored a custom 4.0 ipsw that someone (fortunately) uploaded a couple hours ago. Worked fine; I have the older loader.
One thing to watch out for is restoring your backup if you used AptBackup. I got a sad iPhone after doing this and found MyWi was causing the springboard crash.
i have an iphone 3gs on 4.0 with new bootrom that has never been jailbroken … how can i jailbreak this or when will i be able too
MY Twitter is @ Lilnipc plzzzzz someone help
