Yesterday we told you that the iPhone Dev Team had released Redsn0w iOS 4 jailbreak for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G. The iPhone Dev Team has now released Pwnage Tool 4.01 which will jailbreak your iPhone 3G and 3GS.
Pwnage Tool 4.01 does not support the iPhone 2G, iPod Touch and the iPod Touch 3G, and there are a few caveats on the iPhone 3GS and 3G which you can see listed below.
iPhone 3GS
Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.
If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.
If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01
iPhone 3G
If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.
If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.
iPod touch 2G
If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.
Make sure you head on over to the iPhone Dev Team’s website and read the full instructions before you attempt to jailbreak your device. You can download Pwnage Tool 4.01 from the iPhone Dev Team
