On June 22, 2010, by rorypiper

It is here! Pwnage Tool 4.0! You can use this to jailbreak iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G, on iOS 4, on your Mac. You build a custom firmware with Pwnage Tool 4.0, then restore with iTunes. You can download it now, via bittorrent, here. Video tutorial coming soon.

Here’s the details right from The iPhone Dev Team’s blog:

PwnageTool 4.0 Release Info

On Monday, Apple released firmware 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices, this of course was a major upgrade.

As advised, you shouldn’t have upgraded your devices if you have previously relied on our tools for hacktivation and/or a carrier unlock.

With that said, today we are releasing PwnageTool 4.0

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY, THERE ARE KNOWN UPGRADE TRAPS AND DIFFERENT UPGRADE SCENARIOS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED BEFORE USING THESE TOOLS.

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

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.

iPhone 3GS

Summary: 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 recovery mode.
  • If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0

iPod touch 2G

  • If you have an iPod touch 2G that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.

Baseband Unlock

  • 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).

  • Randi

    How do you know which bootrom you have? I'm pretty sure I have the old one but I don't know what my daughter has done to her phone.

    Finally, until now, The iPhone Dev Team’s made a great job. Professionnal and awsome. I succeed to jailbreak and unlock until yesterday. And I wait what happened next. But, at this point, not a critic, but it is a little complicated . I decided to upgrade to IOS4, via Itunes 9.2. Sure, I lost my jailbreak and unlock. Too bad for me, but I knew because warning were quite cristal clear. Actually, I am reading the process that I should have do to keep myg jailbreak, and honestly, I am not a expert, and it became a little complicated. The “spirit” software was gernius and so easy, then unlock was a breeze. In the other hand, I did not want to stay at 3.0 level, and decided to go forward, with the inconvenient of loosing and not come back with unlock capacity. In my mind, without illusion, I thought that a updated spirit sofware could be possible. But I understand in the other hand, the actual firmware is “rare”. so it is impossible to solve this problem. Kind of Apple's victory, or you have to understand the complicated process to keep your configurations. But, at least, it was a super adventure to succeed, with the precious help of The iPhone Dev Team’s, the way to benefit the good sides of jailbreaking and unlocking. THANKS anayway for everything and your competence. I deeply appreciate

    I'm already on 4.0 will this jailbreak work for me?

  • rorypiper

    No, not now. Check out the iPhone Dev Team's blog for details. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

  • rorypiper

    Yes, Spirit really was a once in a lifetime jailbreak. It us usually more complicated than that. That being said, geohot has a new jailbreak coming (don't know when), and his tools have been really easy to use.

  • rorypiper

    You can use a program called f0recast. http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/products/view/f0re…

  • Randi

    Thanks Rory, but what is “old” versus “new”. I can't find an explanation of the numbers anywhere.

  • Randi

    My daughter has:
    Baseband: 05.11.07
    Bootloader: 6.4

    I have:
    Baseband: 04.26.08
    Bootloader: 6.4

    I really appreciate your help because I don't want to brick her phone!

  • rorypiper

    Do they say tethered or untethered? Untethered = old bootrom. Tethered = new bootrom.

  • Randi

    OK-see, I didn't get that anywhere else! Yay, we are both eligible for the jailbreak. Thank you so much.

  • Zeke2d

    Yes, Blackra1n was as easy to use as Spirit was.

  • Ssunny316

    Hey i got a iphone 3gs, and i wanted to unlock and jailbreak it, but the phone is currently stuck on the apple logo, any suggestions?

  • rorypiper

    Try a hard reboot. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for about 30 seconds. Hopefully that gets back to a lock screen, or at least a recovery screen.

  • iRule

    Dear Randi,
    Your daughter's fone may be going through the situation that I was facing from more than 2,3 months when I accidently upgraded my fone from 3.1.2 (blackra1ned) to 3.1.3 (the agonizing era when my phone was jailbroken but I was unable to use it as a fone since it could not be unlocked using blackra1n)
    Luckily, there is a software called “fuzzyband” that you can download from Cydia
    This will “downgrade” your fone's baseband to a level that you can use Ultrasn0w to unlock it and use it. It worked for me and I am using 3.1.3 on my phone. Once your phone is unlocked, you can delete “fuzzyband” by going into Cydia.
    just be patient when fuzzyband is working cuz it may take some time to downgrade the baseband and may reboot your phone once its done (which is pretty normal)
