ehPhone.ca - Canada’s iPhone Home!

-

The so-called “Dev Team” has done it again: created an unlock for the latest versions of iPhone OS.

You’ll want to understand and follow their instructions as detailed at http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ . And take care. Lots of care.

The Dev Team has offered the most popular hacks for iPhones since there have been unlocks and jailbreaks, but they have some ‘competition’ from geohack and purplera1n these days.

We’re looking for reports from ehPhone.ca readers on which jailbreak and unlock they try and prefer, to comment away below.

SUMMARY:

The iPhone 3GS is now supported out of the box in PwnageTool 3.1.4 (or if you have upgraded to 3.1.x in iTunes)
The iPod 2G is still supported in PwnageTool 3.1.4 but you must already be jailbroken (we’ll update this if there’s a big demand from non-jailbroken ipt2G owners)
The iPod touch 3G is NOT supported

Note for 3GS users not already jailbroken and stuck at 3.1.x: this version of PwnageTool has a side feature to jailbreak your 3GS. It uses a simple implementation of the usb control msg hole found by chronicdev, geohot, and our very own gray. Now that the hole is public and in use, we expect Apple to close it by the next major firmware update. That’s why 3GS users need to get their ECID hashes for 3.1.x now, and need to stay onboard the “jailbreak train” in all future updates. For more details on what this means, please see our earlier posts or ask in our comments section (moderated by the always helpful @angie and @confucious!).
