Jailbreak 3.1.2 firmware (iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS and iPod) With PwnageTool 3.1.4
October 13th, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
The iPhone Dev Team has released their latest version of PwnageTool which lets you keep your unlock from 3.0 and upgrade all the way to 3.1.2 firmware.
If you’re already jailbroken (by whatever means), you don’t need to mess around with DFU mode at all. Just create (or get from a friend) your custom IPSW and Option-Restore (Shift-Restore on Windows) to it via iTunes. Don’t enter DFU mode at all. Please make sure you are restoring to the custom IPSW, not the stock one from Apple! For best results, use the latest iTunes (9.0.1) — which includes a nice new application organizer.
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. For those who have been onboard the “unlock train”, simply install ultrasn0w via Cydia once you’ve restored to your custom IPSW.
Don’t forget to turn off the “3G” setting in Settings->General->Network if you use T-Mobile in the U.S.A.

iPhone 3GS Jailbreak Delayed until FW 3.0.1 by Dev Team
June 29th, 2009 by iPhoneTechZone
We got all excited when redsn0w was released to jailbreak the iPhone and iPhone 3G on firmware 3.0. Plus, with ultrasn0w to unlock 3G , that was even better. When news broke that the iPhone 3GS jailbreak was imminent, users around the world cheered. The iPhone Dev Team can jailbreak the iPhone 3GS.
However, they are going to hold off releasing the jailbreak until later. Why? Well, if the Dev Team releases the 3GS jailbreak now, it will only benefit the early adopters plus once the 3.0.1 update is out, it’ll be back to square one. So to prevent this, the Dev Team is going to wait until the next update is released (which should be coming soon) to unveil the iPhone 3GS jailbreak. Some more details by the Dev Team : If you already have a 3GS phone and have already done a full USB dump or captured your img3s signed with your ECID, then youre in great shape. You will always be able to jailbreak.
