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.

w00t. that’s right! iPhone Dev Team has released an updated version of PwnageTool and Quickpwn with added support for iPhone firmware 2.2.1 - which was recently released by Apple a few days ago - if you have an iPhone 3G and you need yellowsn0w, use pwnagetool to create an ipsw that won’t upgrade the baseband to be able to continue using yellowsn0w. The iPod Touch 2G is still not supported - but, redsn0w is still being actively researched and developed.

From iPhone Dev Team’s Blog:

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone running 2.2 firmware and you want to keep your ability to use yellowns0w (or the option to use it in the future) do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version (02.30.03) that is present in the recent 2.2.1 update. If you want to use Yellownsn0w you will need to create and restore using a custom .ipsw that will allow you to update safely to 2.2.1 without applying the 02.30.03 baseband update. You’ll then have a 3G iPhone running 2.2.1 with an older baseband version that is still vulnerable to yellowsn0w, following these steps ensures that yellowsn0w will still operate.
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. These apps are suitable for the recent 2.2.1 release.
6. The Yellowsn0w version has been updated to 0.9.7. Yellowsn0w is available from Cydia or Installer - this version allows compatibility with pwned 2.2.1 system (not baseband). Again„ remember 0.9.7 yellowsn0w DOES NOT WORK WITH 2.2.1 (02.30.03) directly - you need to be running a ‘pwned’ version of 2.2.1 which didn’t upgrade the baseband during the restore/upgrade.
7. Users of OS X 10.5.6 will be unable to use DFU mode correctly, please see the note towards the end of this post to easily fix this issue.

From iPhone Dev Team’s Blog:

• Locked iPhone 3G

If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.

• Locked iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said.

• iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.

• iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time.

Apple has released their latest iPhone 2.2 beta firmware coupled with a pre-release of the iPhone SDK to developers. Copy and Paste isn’t there (WTF?!?) and push notification the feature that was pulled last minute from iPhone 2.1 is still absent. Rumors are flying about push notification being added in an upcoming build of iPhone 2.2, the following quote from Steve Jobs is fueling the fire;

We’re running a bit late,” Jobs allegedly told a MacRumors member. “We want to get it 100% right the first time.

So far the only confirmed changes are in the iPhone’s Safari 2.2 with the Google search bar being accessible without having to tap the URL bar and the reload button is on it’s own now too.

Good news on the iPhone 2.2 hacking front, the iPhone Dev Team have already confirmed this new firmware can be jailbroken by both QuickPwn and PwnageTool. Below are the note’s from their blog;

Please note, this is Mac OS X Only.

Digg It!

It’s update day! The iPhone Dev Team has released it’s latest version of QuickPwn for Windows coupled with poorlad’s improved QuickPwn GUI. This update is labeled ‘150′. Mac user’s you haven’t been forgotten the dev team plans to release an update to PwnageTool today as well. We will make sure to bring that to as soon as it is released.

QuickPwn Windows doesn’t work well with virtualization as there are some problems with the way USB resets are handled, so we wouldn’t advise trying it, we have had reports of some success with VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta 2, but this shouldn’t be relied on, use PwnageTool instead, or wait for QuickPwn Mac.

QuickPwn for Mac is being tested right now by a group of testers and we’ll release this when it is ready for public beta (this won’t be within the next 24 hours, but should be within the next week).

There are no significant updates with regard to the 3G baseband unlock, most of us have been busy with real life, when we get any further we’ll let you know.
