Pwnage Tool 4.0

As I was mentioning yesterday, The iPhone Dev Team had just released their new Pwnage Tool 4.0 to JB the new iOS 4. But hold your horses you JB'ers! It's not everyone are able to use that tool yet. Please read what The Dev Team had to say about he new Pwnage 4.0 before you proceed. The new Pwnage 4.0 Tool will for MAC will enable iPhone 3G, 3GS (old bootrom) to update iOS 4 and jailbreaking it.


Each supported device has few different scenarios that users need to consider when performing the upgrades, you need to check below and perform the upgrade in the particular way that matches your current device state. 

NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 certain devices are not supported  this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software. 
iPhone 2G  - not supported
iPod Touch - not supported
iPod Touch 3G - not supported  

For 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 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode. If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 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. IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.  

For iPhone 3GS 
If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode. If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 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. IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.  

iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions, once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.0, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked. Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock - but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in). 

As always, please BACKUP your device before you proceed. And just to protect myself, the author do not take responsibility or liable for any damage which might happen to any reader's devices. And JB will void your warranty so please proceed with caution and ask for advice before you go charging into the jungle. You can download the new Pawnage 4.0 Tool here via BT or un-official mirror site here & here.
