With the release of Redsn0w some days ago, people might be new to redsn0w and might not know how to work it. On this post, we’ll show you how to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch with redsn0w version 0.7.2 - This should be the same as windows on both iPhone and iPod Touch. In this case, we’re using Mac OS X. Please. we can not stress this enough, read through this post carefully before attempting anything with redsn0w.

Note: We are not responsible if your device blows up in the middle of the jailbreak process (not that it will) or if your device doesn’t turn on after using this. Use, strictly, at your own risk!

1. First is first, download redsn0w here (for Windows) or here (for Mac OS X)
2. Second, Download iPhone OS 3.0 or whatever firmware you’ll be using to jailbreak - here

Today, the famous and very well known iPhone Dev Team have released their long awaited iPhone OS 3.0 jailbreak for both iPhone and iPod Touch. Sadly for Windows users, PwnageTool is Mac OS X only, but Quickpwn for Mac OS X and Windows will be released very soon according to the iPhone Dev Team.

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use PwnageTool right now. UltraSn0w is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be release via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 unlock works with this PwnageTool release.
2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you can get it via Cydia or Icy).
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. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release.
6. PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
7. PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G

This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 3.0 using iTunes and then use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to jailbreak your phone.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your newly created .ipsw ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken.

iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes.

iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time within PwnageTool, use Redsn0w for an earlier (pre 3.0) firmware release instead.

The iPhone 2.0 firmware has been released by Apple, you may now download it here. Remember that if you have an unlocked phone this firmware will relock your iPhone.

The good news is that screenshots have been released by the iPhone Dev Team showing an iPhone 2.0 that has been jailbroken. This hack is not public yet and no definitive word on unlocking yet.

It’s here — iPhone DevTeam’s Pwnage…

Mac OS X features:

• iPwner: Pwns your iPhone, the safer jailbreak
• IPSW Builder: Lets you create custom firmware to load to you pwnd phone including unlocking, neutering, custom pictures, activation, and bootloader upgrade/downgrade.
• Bootneuter: A neutered bootloader survives iTunes updates, even updates to 1.2.0 (aka 2.0). Unlike unlocking which requires a new patch for each firmware version, you only need to neuter once.

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the release of the OS X version of the PwnageTool application.

The team (and especially Wizdaz) have been working hard to bring you this release in as short a time as possible.

The plan (4 weeks ago) was to release a Mac tool only. This was decided because of the lack of reliable Mac filesystem tools on Windows, and the fact that the task of porting them would be too time consuming.

With that in mind the genius that is “cmw” stepped up to the plate and offered his services to the DevTeam. He proposed to provide a tool that would give the same functionality and User Interface as the Mac tool.

cmw has done an almost unthinkable task and ported the almost complete Pwnage Tool to Windows in a little under a week, and we would like to thank him for this unbelievable work. He is currently in the final test stages and hopefully this should be finished within the next 24 hours (but even he needs sleep and family time occasionally!) We’ll post a link as soon as the testing has finished.

Thanks, son of Erik the Red.

Succeeding iPlus is the new iLiberty+ for both Windows and Mac. Do the same as always — effortlessly activate, jailbreak, and unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch.

iLiberty+ also solves the non-working EDGE/WiFi/BlueTooth problem; commonly encountered after using ZiPhone.

Extra tools (or Payloads) are included to facilitate further hacking needs.

Get down with the get down.

Zibri’s rockin’ a new version of ZiPhone…

Current ZiPhone users:

iPhone owners — you have no *real* reason to upgrade. Boys & girls sporting the iPod Touch — you want this version; it clears/fixes the NVRAM issue. Download, click on CLEAR/FIX NVRAM, then after reboot, jailbreak that bad boy (or girl).

New ZiPhone users:

If you’re looking for a simple software solution to activate, jailbreak, and unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch — download ZiPhone right now. It doesn’t get much easier than this.

The dev team has been using dual-booting to jailbreak the iPhone for several months now, however now that several more advanced techniques have been developed (many of which are still private), I thought it apropos to release this cool hack for those who would like to dual boot multiple versions of the iPhone software (or other OS’s) from their handset. It’s a neat little hack that I think might be useful for developers playing with 1.2, which appears to disable the radio (phone calls).

Cool hack indeed. It’s somewhat of a complex process requiring technical know-how. If you’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable with command line, don’t bother attempting this. Otherwise — go nuts!

Kudos team.
