Apple’s anti-jailbreak iPhone 3GS attempt fails
Oct 16th
Apple recently released an iPhone 3GS that was an attempt to resist iPhone from Jailbreaking. But according to Gizmodo, it is already being cracked.
The crack is not perfect as you have to have your iPhone tethered to your computer to boot up, but it surely won’t be this way for very long.
According to sources:
It turns out the new boot ROM doesn’t totally prevent the 24kpwn exploit employed by the Dev Team hackers. [See update below] The result? You can still jailbreak your late-model 3GS, but the device needs to be tethered to your computer in order to boot up. It’s a major annoyance, especially given how crash-happy 3.1 phones—especially jailbroken ones—can be, but not necessarily a dealbreaker.
The boot ROM update does disable the 24kpwn exploit, which was the code that allowed for untethered jailbreaks in the first place. For what it’s worth, the Dev Team still sounds unfazed.
Download PwnageTool 3.1.4 to Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2
Oct 16th
A few days ago iPhone hacker, GeoHot, released the jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.1.2 which was pretty good, it was able to jailbreak most of the iPhone OS-based devices.
The iPhone Dev Team have released the PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X in order to allow all iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS, and iPod Touch 2G and 3G to be upgraded to iPhone OS 3.1.2.
The iPhone dev team has released a comprehensive guide for all iPhone OS devices jus to let users understand, what to do, and how to keep unlock if you bought it from a carrier.
The Pwnage Tool 3.1.4 doesn’t work with the latest iPod Touch aka iPod Touch 3G. The good thing is this tool can jailbreak units that previously couldn’t be jailbroken, so install it right away to get your apps back.
This release allows your baseband to unlock 3.1.2, but it does not unlock a new baseband put there by restoring to official 3.1.x. It is important that people who need the unlock to understand they can keep it only by starting at 3.0 (or earlier).
For those who have been onboard the “unlock train”, simply install ultrasn0w via Cydia once you’ve restored to your custom IPSW. Don’t forget to turn off the “3G” setting in Settings->General->Network if you use T-Mobile in the U.S.A.
To put it short PwnageTool 3.1.4 can now:
- iPhone 3GS (or if you have upgraded to 3.1.x in iTunes)
- iPod 2G, but you must already be jailbroken
But it can’t:
- support iPod touch 3G
You can download PwnageTool 3.14 Torrent. Other mirrors are here.

He goes:
Also, some more payload stability improvements were made, and the windows version was updated to RC2a. There is no reason to run RC2a if you already have RC2 installed.

George Hotz wrote on his blog:
That isn’t how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn’t worth waiting because you might have the “last” hole in the iPhone. What last hole… this isn’t golf. I’ll find a new one next week.
The author of Purplera1n for iPhone 3GS concluded his post thanking everyone involved in the making of the jailbreak tool. Hotz said that the binary size of Purplera1n is smaller than C++ Hello World.
No 20MB thing that needs to be torrented. And no IPSW to download. This is how jailbreak should be!,
After jailbreaking, a user will be able to customize the iPhone with home-screen wallpapers and third-party ringtones.
