By Sebastien Page on Apr 3, 2011

It’s here, folks. After weeks of anticipation, the Dev Team just released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1. This jailbreak is mostly due to the untether exploit found by i0n1c.

This jailbreak works with every device that supports iOS 4.3.1, except for the iPad 2. So to be clear, this jailbreak will work with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, and the second generation of Apple TV… Read More

By Jeff Benjamin on Apr 3, 2011

Get your Twitter hats on folks, and start promoting #sundayisfunday!

Stefan Esser, the hacker who found the untethered exploit in iOS 4.3.1, says that, “Maybe that would make the dev-team release.”

As we previously reported, Esser, who goes by i0n1c on Twitter, provided the untether to the DevTeam so that they could use it in the upcoming releases of RedSn0w and PwnageTool – the jailbreak supports all devices capable of running iOS 4.3.1, except for the iPad 2… Read More

 

iPhone Jailbreak for 4.3.1 is Getting Closer

By Jeff Benjamin on Apr 1, 2011

Can you feel it in the air? I surely can. I get the same feeling before virtually every big jailbreak solution.

There’s an eerie quiet among the folks taking the lead in the jailbreaking community, demos have been demonstrated, and tweets have been tweeted.

Now all we can do is wait, and wait patiently. Although we’re expecting it literally any hour or day now, it’s always a nice surprise when it finally arrives…

To tide us over, MuscleNerd dropped a few hints about the imminence of the Dev Team’s new version of RedSn0w and PwnageTool; each will support 4.3.1… Read More

 

iOS 4.3.1 Already Jailbroken With PwnageTool 4.2 [Tethered]

By Alex Heath on Mar 26, 2011

The latest build of iOS has already been jailbroken! Thanks to the work of DjayB6 on the 4.3.1 jailbreak bundle and Universal Ramdisk Fixer, Apple’s newest version of iOS has already got the jailbreak treatment.

PwnageTool 4.2 can be used to perform a tethered jailbreak for 4.3.1. This jailbreak method is not for the faint of heart, and is by no means considered a “stable” release for jailbreakers.

You will need several tools to perform a successful jailbreak of 4.3.1, and we have yet to hear about a stable untethered solution… Read More

 

How to Jailbreak iPhone 4.3 GM with PwnageTool Bundles

By Cody Lee on Mar 6, 2011

Apple’s new iOS 4.3 software will launch officially March 11th. For App Store developers iOS 4.3 GM edition (final) is available now. This tutorial will show you step by step how to  jailbreak your iPhone 4.3 GM Edition with PwnageTool Bundles. Unlike the plug and play ease of GreenPoison, this method will require a few extra steps, but nothing too difficult.

These instructions are for mac OS X users only, but a windows jailbreak shouldn’t be too far off. This is also a tethered jailbreak, meaning that every time you restart your iPhone, you will need to be plugged into your computer. It’s also important to note that although this is the final beta release, it is still a beta, so please proceed accordingly.  Now on to the tutorial! Read More

 

iOS 4.3 GM Can Be Jailbroken with PwnageTool 4.2 [Tethered]

By Alex Heath on Mar 4, 2011

We have released a detailed tutorial on how to jailbreak the GM developer build of iOS 4.3. Yesterday, Apple seeded the final developer build of iOS 4.3, and the public release of 4.3 will take place on March 11th.

People are wondering if Apple has patched the current jailbreak exploits in their latest version of iOS. Because the iPad 2 runs on different hardware, it will almost definitely need a new exploit for an untethered jailbreak. As far as the iPhone and iPod goes, we’ll keep you updated…

Dev Team Releases PwnageTool Jailbreak for iPhone 4.2.1

By Sebastien Page on Feb 15, 2011

The Dev Team just released an updated version of their famous Mac jailbreak, PwnageTool 4.2. This new version of PwnageTool allows you to update your iPhone to a newer firmware while preserving your baseband. PwnageTool is the only jailbreak tool to let you do that, even though there are manual ways to update while preserving the baseband using TinyUmbrella.

In short, PwnageTool is unlockers’ favorite jailbreak as it allows to keep the unlock alive while still updating the iOS.

The Dev Team was able to make a few improvements to PwnageTool, notably a fix for the iBooks problem we reported this morning… Read More

 

Unofficial PwnageTool Jailbreak for iPhone 4 iOS 4.3 Beta

By Sebastien Page on Jan 13, 2011

It didn’t take long. Apple seeded iOS 4.3 beta to developers yesterday and the iPhone 4 version has already been jailbroken, using an unofficial release of PwnageTool. This unofficial release will let you restore to a jailbroken iOS 4.3 version on iPhone 4 only.

I don’t recommend using this method. For one, it will update your baseband, thus making it impossible for you to unlock for the time being. Additionally, this method has not proven very successful to many users, making it a risky move. Ultimately, it’s your decision, but at least you’ve been warned… Read More

How to Prepare Your iPhone for Unlock with PwnageTool

By Sebastien Page on Nov 28, 2010

The Dev Team just released an update to their UltraSn0w unlock. Unfortunately, this time it’s not as easy as downloading and installing UltraSn0w to unlock the iPhone.

If your iPhone is on baseband 01.59.00, 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, or 05.13.04, then you can simply go to Cydia and download UltraSn0w. If you are on a different baseband, you will first have to update your baseband to 06.15.00, which is unlockable.

All this sounds a little confusing? Yes, it’s normal. It’s very confusing, so I highly suggest you read this before going forward with the unlock process. It will tell you what you can and cannot do, depending on your configuration… Read More

PwnageTool iPhone Jailbreak for Windows Coming Soon?

By Sebastien Page on Nov 1, 2010

According to a tweet from MuscleNerd, iPhone jailbreak developer Chpwn will soon start working on a Windows version of the PwnageTool jailbreak. To date, PwnageTool is a Mac only jailbreak that allows you to update your iPhone to a jailbroken firmware while preserving the baseband so you can unlock your iPhone.

The news about PwnageTool for Windows came from an argument between MuscleNerd and iH8Sn0w on Twitter. I’ve never been a huge fan of iH8Sn0w and his Sn0wBreeze tool, and it seems that the Dev Team isn’t either… Read More

PwnageTool is a jailbreak method that lets you update your iPhone to the latest iOS while preserving the baseband.
