The Dev Team just released PwnageTool 3.1 for Mac OS X which will let iPhone 2G/3G and iPod Touch 1G users jailbreak their device. So far, only PwnageTool is available and is for Mac only, but the Dev Team is working on updating RedSn0w for both Mac and PC.
There is still now way to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 2G and 3G but I assume these will come in the near future.
1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should only upgrade to 3.1 with a PwnageTool created .ipsw. – Stay away from Apple’s direct updates as described here and here please get up to speed on the whole subject by reading the information contained in these posts.
2. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.1 unlock works with this PwnageTool release. iPhone 3G users upgrading to 3.1 will need to continue using ultrasn0w with a PwnageTool created 3.1 .ipsw
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.
6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.1 release.
7. This version of PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
8. PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.
Do you know what google voice is? Well don’t worry if you don’t know, just make sure you check the video below. The good news is that the iPhone DevTeam just got their google voice number and made it public for anybody to use it. You can call them at (347) DEV-TEAM or (347) 338-8326.
Number was made it public on twitter a couple of minutes ago by iPhoneDev , a member of the iPhone DevTeam.
Apple has released an extensive document against Jailbreak. Probably, using the latest statements of hackers around the security vulnerabilities due to Jailbreak, they say that besides being illegal (really?!?! cmon… ), destroys all the security systems designed ad hoc ( might be true… im sure there will be a fix for everything tho… )
According to Apple, the process manipulates at will the Baseband, that phone and internet connections. An unauthorized modification that could interfere with the telephone, the geo-, and many other features.
The Jailbreak not manipulate the Baseband, but can only block the upgrade , thus leaving the older version, but the official Apple. As for the ECID Instead, Apple seems very informed on how to unlock, and with that statement, certainly try to block the intruizione of GeoHot. Purplera1n is always able to perform the Jailbreak of 3Gs by a certificate which can be obtained starting the ECID.
Apple talks about “change” of the ECID but the neither the DevTeam nor GeoHot they have provided the tools to change their identity. Simply does not exist, so the relation between declarations and actual operations are performed with the Jailbreak, are few.
Surely the security level of the device decreases with the very Jailbreak: We are all aware of this “problem” but we also know that it never reached the levels reported by Apple, which of course is “advertising” to try to eliminate it entirely .
