The Dev Team has just released PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X. This release supports the 3.1.2 iPhone software for the following devices: iPhone 2G/3G/3GS and iPod Touch 1G/2G.

• 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

For the full details please visit the Dev Teams blog and read carefully!

The iPhone Dev team has released the latest version of their iPhone Pwnage Tool, version 3.1 for the Mac OS (only).

The iPhone Pwnage Tool 3.1 supports jailbreaking of the latest iPhone OS 3.1 but, at this time, it can only unlock the 1st generation iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G NOT THE 3GS.

You can download the latest version, iPhone Pwnage Tool 3.1 at the link below.

Go to the iPhone Dev Teams website for full details.

I tried it out and am now running jailbroken 3.1 with no problems so far!

3G Unrestrictor is a $2 app on the Cydia store that enables jailbroken iPhone users to select any app that they wish to use over 3G, including Skype and SlingPlayer.

More importantly (to me anyway) App Store and iTunes Store’s 10MB download limit on the 3G network can be disabled allowing direct download of ALL media and games availble directly to the device!

The iPhone Blog now has step-by-step directions on jailbreaking (with redsnow) and unlocking (with ultrasnow) the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS.

Guide for Windows.

redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Currently it is available for Windows and Mac OS X (there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac until we have this problem resolved).

REDSN0W PROVIDES SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY TO QUICKPWN.

GET REDSN0W HERE!!

Please note that not all jailbreak apps work 100% or are stable on OS 3.0 because they need to be updated for the new operating system.

Some that seem to be working fine are:

• Cycorder
• iBlacklist

Working somewhat inconsistently (try at your own risk):

• iRealSMS
• SBSettings
• Winterboard

Pwnage tools for iPhone OS 3.0 are out now!!  –>For Mac OSX only that is (for now).

From the iPhone Dev Team:

This is the low down on our tools for use with the 3.0 firmware from Apple, read the whole post in full before attempting anything. Because of some bugs and unexpected changes this will be a multipart release, starting with the release of PwnageTool for Mac OS X. QuickPwn for Mac OS X and Windows will follow sometime soon, please don’t bug us about it, we are working flat out to get everything finished to release them.

Details and download links here!

**UPDATE**  This information only applies to iPhone OS 2.2.1 and earlier.  Redsn0w used for jailbreaking OS 3.0 REQUIRES  iTunes 8.2 or higher.

Apple has released iTunes 8.2 in Software Update, to support the upcoming iPhone 3.0 firmware. iTunes 8.2 is not supported current versions of QuickPWN and Pwnage tool. This means you can’t jailbreak an iPhone with iTunes 8.2 so we will need to wait Newer versions of QuickPWN and Pwnage tool.

If you’ve accidenally installed 8.2 and need to uninstall it on a Mac, you can follow Apple Support’s article or try the following:

Type the following commands in terminal and make sure that

iTunes is not running before trying this.

sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iTunesAccess.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreFP.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework

For Windows, uninstall the program in “Add/Remove Programs” in the Control Panel

Once the operation performed, Download iTunes 8.1 from here and Install.

You can try this method to fix a iPhone stuck at the boot logo.  You won’t have to restore your phone and loose your saved games scores and other data. It might work providing you are able to get SSH access, which isn’t always possible.

• Turn ipod or iphone off
• connect Sync cable
• turn on ipod iphone
• listen for USB device “chime” (Window) or wait about 15 seconds on a Mac
• ssh to your iPhone
• navigate to /var/mobile/
• rename Applications folder to Applications2
• wait 5 second and your springboard will pop up
• now rename Applications back and restart

I haven’t tested this method, but its worth a try.

This is the best explanation I could find for why some iPhones get stuck in an endless reboot. (I could be incorrect on some of these points)

Here’s the problem – Springboard is watched by a watchdog process. The watchdog process monitors Springboard, and if it doesn’t respond at least once every couple of minutes or so, it is killed and forcibly restarted. If this happens approximately 4 times, the watchdog will reboot the device. I’m pretty sure this is to ensure that a hung /unresponsive Springboard.app will reboot–> fixing itself instead of freezing the touchscreen until a force reboot is manually performed.

When installing an application the Springboard generates an Application Map with the location of the various icons and their screen location. Apparently, after Quickpwn is finished and the iPhone reboots, the Application Map must be completely rebuilt. So, of course, the more Apps you have installed, the longer it takes to rebuild the Map.

Therefore, if you have a sufficiently large number of installed Applications that causes a regeneration of the Application Map to take longer than 2 minutes then it becomes impossible for Springboard to complete the task before it is force quit by the watchdog. The phone will be rebooted by the watchdog process after several minutes, run out of time and reboot the device indefinitely.
