The latest redsn0w tool has been released, both PC and Mac versions available and provides a solution for jailbreaking and unlocking first generation iPhone, jailbreaking iPhone 3G (not iPhone 3GS), jailbreaking both first and second generation iPod Touch. Scroll down and find out more!
Just as we expected everyone, preliminary jailbreak and unlocking tools for iPhone OS 3.0 have been released. Why the word preliminary? Only first generation iPhone 2G and the first generation both generations of iPod Touch running the new iPhone 3.0 can be jailbroken and unlocked at this point.
A few things iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S users need to know first:
- The iPhone Dev Team have already said that they are working on it and the rest of the tools, ie the new yellowsn0w aka ultrasn0w, unlock for iPhone 3G will be released in due course, not very long now!
- The new Pwnage Tool released (download links below) can jailbreak the iPhone 3G but will not be able to unlock it, you will therefore loose the ability to use your iPhone 3G as a phone should you do that! However, once the new ultrasn0w unlocking tool is out, you will simply just need to apply it to get it connecting to your carrier’s network again
- Pwnage Tool will not work for iPhone 3G S
- Ultrasn0w will not work for iPhone 3G S
- If you have one of those very expensive iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S’ which have been factory unlocked, you are safe to upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0, as your iPhone will never get locked up. If its the iPhone 3G, you can simply apply the new Pwnage Tool to get it jailbroken for using third party apps.
If you have the first generation iPhone or iPod Touch (no support for second generation iPod Touch users), all you need to do is upgrade your firmware to OS 3.0 via your iTunes. Then download Pwnage Tool (for Mac only) or redsn0w (for Mac and PC) and follow its instructions to have your device jailbroken and/or unlocked.
iPhone 3G users, if you want to upgrade to 3.0 but want to retain the possibility of unlocking your iPhone 3G in the future then don’t upgrade your phone directly via iTunes as this will also upgrade your phone’s baseband. You must download Pwnage Tool below and allowing it to maintain your present baseband during the upgrade to 3.0. As a reminder, Pwnage Tool is not an unlocking tool and will only jailbreak your iPhone 3G.
At this point, you may still be wondering what the differences are between Pwnage Tool and redsn0w. Redsn0w was originally created as a jailbreaking tool for second generation iPod Touch. Pwnage Tool on the other hand has more recently been known as the tool for jailbreaking iPhone and iPhone 3G while preserving baseband for unlocking. Generally if you are an first generation iPhone user, you can use either one of them as it doesn’t matter. If you are an iPhone 3G user, like we mentioned above, you must use Pwnage Tool to maintain your baseband. If you are an iPod Touch user, first or second generation, using redsn0w is fine.
Like we mentioned above, Pwnage Tool is Mac OS X only while redsn0w is multi-platform and has PC and Mac OS X versions.
