iPhone Dev Team released Pwnage Tool 3.1.5 yesterday. If you are on iPhone OS 3.1.3 and want to jailbreak or unlock your phone, go for this pwnage tool.
PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely, preserving your jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock. (If you use the blacksn0w unlock (at baseband 05.11.07), you need to stay at 3.1.2.)
Over to iPhone Dev Team:
iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers should always be very wary to update their firmware. This is no exception. If you make a mistake along the way you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.
iPhone 3GS users (regardless of unlock) should stay away from this and all 3.1.3 jailbreak tools unless you know you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up via Cydia. That’s because if you make a mistake you may find yourself stuck at official 3.1.3 with no way to jailbreak or come back down to 3.1.2 to jailbreak.
If you really truly feel that you need to update, this version creates a custom 3.1.3 IPSW for you to restore to on your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom. If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.
Last evening Dev-Team upgraded their PwnageTool to 3.1.4 that would jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2 using Mac OS X. This supports iPhone OS running on 3.1.2 on following devices – iPhone 2G/3G/3GS and iPod Touch 1G/2G. Over to Dev-Team.
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
Please note that this jailbreak tool allows you to keep your baseband to unlocked at 3.1.2 and wouldnt unlock the new baseband. So you wont be able to unlock at this stage but would be able to unlock when ultrasn0w is released.
This release allows your baseband to remain unlocked at 3.1.2, but it does not unlock a new baseband put there by restoring to official 3.1.x. It is super important that people who need the unlock to understand they can keep it only by starting at 3.0 (or earlier) and updating solely to custom IPSWs that don’t update the baseband.
The iPhone Dev Team has done it again. iPhone 3GS can now be jailbroken (unlocking is not yet possible). If you are running iPhone OS 3.1 on 3GS, Dev-Team’s PwnageTool can bust open your iPhone, provided it was previously pwned in 3.0 or 3.0.1 . AWESOME.
But if your iPhone had 3.1 OS, out of the box, you cannot use this PwnageTool.
Over to the Dev-Team’s blog:
SUMMARY:
The iPhone 3GS is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3,assuming the phone was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 – PwnageTool does not support the 3GS out of the box. If your iPhone 3GS has 3.1 preinstalled and is not Pwned then there is no tested jailbreak solution at the moment.
The iPod 2G is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the iPod 2G was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 – PwnageTool does not support the iPod 2G with 3.1 software out of the box.
DETAILS:
GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.
Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.
PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.
For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to updating in the future, just remember to never install an update directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with PwnageTool.
There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool.
iPhone Dev Team has done it. If you are on iPhone 3G or 2G, you can now jailbreak OS 3.0 and therefore upgrade to 3.0 OS. You will need a Mac to get this done, since iPhoneDevTeam has only released the PwnageTool and the windows version of PwnageTool, quickPWN is still under development. QuickPWN should go live any time soon, keep checking blog.iphone-dev.org.
PwnageTool can only jailbreak iPhone 3G and 2G version, but it cannot unlock it. The unlock tool Ultrasn0w is still under development and should get released in a week or two. So if you want to unlock your current iPhone with 3.0 OS, dont follow this procedure yet. Wait for Ultrasn0w tool be released. Keep checking blog.iphone-dev.org.
It should be noted that this PwnageTool will not work for the iPhone 3G S
You SHOULD NOT use this PwnageTool release if you are using an iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w.
As per iPhone Dev Team, please read these rules before going ahead with PwnageTool:
GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use PwnageTool right now. UltraSn0w is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be release via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 unlock works with this PwnageTool release.
Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you can get it via Cydia or Icy).

Yes, this was just the news I was waiting for. Pwnage (iPhoneDevTeam) have released their first software that can easily unlock 2.0 firmware and iPhone 3G. This is just awesome. Here is how to do unlock your iPhone 3G (users who have upgraded their 1st Gen iPhones to 2.0 firmware can unlock it as well)
Please download the software from Here. Unzip it, Install and follow the instructions and you are good to go
iPhoneDevTeam – Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.
Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.
Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.
In summary Pwnage software supports:
iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 – Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPod Touch with 2.0 – Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPhone (3G) with 2.0 – Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).
Few of the initial feedback from users who used this software (from iPhoneDevTeam’s blog)
Thank you. I downloaded it and used it and it worked flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. Also, thank you for managing to surprise just about everyone in the world with this one - from embarassed
it’s working i upgraded my 1.1.4 to 2.0, but Wi-Fi has some problems ny application unable to connect to internet, can any one help in this – from kanna
Make sure you get the correct version, not the early released one that came back before Apple officially released it. Then you have to remember to remove the .zip at the end and keep it as a .ipsw – The icon will change to a little package box. - from Lionman

All this while pwnage, the revolutionary unlocking tool for iPhone was only for Macs. But this morning the guys behind this rocking tool have lauched winpwn, pwnage for windows. Its not fully ready yet but looks promising. It supports iPhone on 2.0 only which hasnt yet been released.
How does this winpwn works?
There is 2 parts of the pwnage hack. First part being the actual “pwn” which flashes a custom bootloader. This will allow you to load modified ipsw files (i.e ones that have custom logos and have already been jailbroken). Second part is the IPSW Builder which lets you customize your ipsws
The Pwnage team is really working hard. These guys have released the new version Pwnage 1.1 and with this comes the support to add custom packages. Here is list of changes and new feature list:
I was looking for an convincing answer for this very question and finally found it on ModMyFone. Let me pull that thread instead of writing my own version
ITS BEEN PWNED!!!!! | Release of PwnageTool OSX + Windows
We have been talking about PwnageTool for what seems like ages now. It is finally here! The Dev Team has done an amazing job and released this tool allowing a safer jailbreak for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. We recommend you switch to this method for freeing your Device.
Why choose PwnageTool?
Unlike other previous jailbreak methods that exploit the iPhone, PwnageTool modifies the iPhone to accept unsigned .ipsw files allowing for a safer Jailbreak using the tried and true iTunes restore. The OSX Version of PwnageTool Not only will pwn your phone but also allows for the creation of custom .ipsw files to load via iTunes.
OSX Version Features:
iPwner – Pwns your iPhone, the safer jailbreak
IPSW Builder – Lets you create custom firmware to load to you pwnd phone including unlocking, neutering, custom pictures, activation, and bootloade upgrade/downgrade.
Bootneuter: A neutered bootloader survives iTunes updates, even updates to 1.2.0 (aka 2.0). Unlike unlocking which requires a new patch for each firmware version, you only need to neuter once.
Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called the Apple iPhone from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over it. Nuts to an extent that I started this blog which talks just about iPhone and nothing else.
This blog of mine has been getting tremendous response and is being followed by all kinds of mobile phone users from all over the globe. Most of the traffic comes from the US and Europe. Thank you all for making this blog a success :)
