GeoHot has already released a tool, blackra1n to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2 firmware, which has few bugs in it. The iPhone Dev team is now come up with new jailbreaking and unlocking tool i.e. PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X.
PwnageTool 3.1.4 solves all the issues caused by blackra1n. If you have any issues with Apple’s latest firmware, you can create custom IPSW firmware with the help of PwnageTool 3.1.4 and restore it through iTunes. It allows your baseband to remain unlocked at 3.1.2.
Dev team has mentioned important features and guidelines for PwnageTool 3.1.4. Let’s have a look at them -
- GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 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. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.
- PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS.
- PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G.
- PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.
- For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to updating in the future, just remember to never install an update directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with PwnageTool.
- There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool.
Please read all the instructions again and again to avoid any jailbreaking issues.
