Should i use ultrasnow after using pwnage tool to move from 4.0 to 4.1? I have an iphone 4 with baseband 1.59.

MARTY - October 20, 2010 at 9:00pm

I HAVE AN 3G 4.1 WHATS THE STORY ABOUT IT FOR A JAILBREAK AND AN UNLOCK THERE SEEMS TO BE NOTHING SAID ABOUT IT ANY MORE

Don't need to use ultrasnow to unlock after you run Pwnage Tool. You must understand that Pwnage Tool was created in order to update only the OS on the device while the firmware remains at the current version. Ultrasnow is a tool which acts at the firmware level but there is no unlock for the latest firmware that comes with 4.1 version. Dev Team has developed then a tool capable to keep your firmware at the current version and to update the software. The firmware operates only th phone capabilities such like calls, messages while the software operates the device capabilities such like iPod, playing games a.s.o. So, you need to download the latest .ipsw file 4.1 from Apple. Then you do not use that file to update directly your device! Make a folder on your desktop and move the .ipsw for 4.1 on that folder together with pwnage tool. Run pwnage tool. The tool will made for you a custom .ipsw file using the latest .ipsw downloaded from Apple. That custom .ipsw will run the latest software but keep your actual firmware. Beware: after pwnage will create the custom ".ipsw restore" you should connect your device to the computer , open itunes and by pressing OPTION + RESTOREyou must access the file so created. Do not press update , or restore without pressing "option". So you can choose the custom .ipsw file created by pwnage. Hope i was clear enough.

Any windows versions?

Jcredible - October 20, 2010 at 3:56pm

Sorry dude. Best advice is to go to an Apple Store and create yourself a custon IPSW (ooops probably illegal for me to say that). Maybe a friend with a mac could hook you up via dropbox cause the file is like 600MB when i created mine. Why not use greenpoison for windows?

KK - October 20, 2010 at 6:38pm

Well, I have a locked 3Gs, jailbroken with limera1n. And now i need to unlock it :S

Nightquest - October 22, 2010 at 3:35am

KK - October 22, 2010 at 6:26am

MARTY - October 22, 2010 at 6:36am

SORRY ITS WINDOWS VERSION I NEED NOT MAC

Tomas - October 20, 2010 at 3:18pm

So will this JailBreak help to unlock iPhone 3G on 4.1?

Gene Castillo - October 20, 2010 at 2:03pm

I have a 3G on 4.1 baseband 05.14.03 which is the latest, I made the biggest mistake of my life, now I have no iphone, I heard from someone that they will release the unlock for 4.1 by Nov 2010 which is like in 3 weeks, is that true?, please somebody reply, thank you.

Nightquest - October 22, 2010 at 3:01am

Don't heard nothing about an upcoming tool for unlocking the latest firmware. It;s very hard to develop such of tool and it's a matter of high skills and much much luck! You made a big mistake, sorry...now you have to wait until dev team or geohot will find an exploit to unlock the current firmware or a future one...

Jcredible - October 20, 2010 at 1:12pm
