Jailbreak iOS 4.0 iPhone 3GS with PwnageTool Bundles

iOS 4 GM for iPhone 3GS Jailbroken Already with PwnageTool Bundles

By Taimur Asad | June 8th, 2010

Remember msft.guy? who fixed the blacksn0w unlock for iPhone 3.1.3 05.11.07 baseband? and who recently released binary which enabled blacksn0w unlock port for iPhone 3GS, on iOS 4 Beta 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4). Well the guy is back now! He has posted PwnageTool bundles for iPhone 3GS, iOS 4 GM release which you can use to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, while preserving your baseband so that you can unlock using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w.

[IMPORTANT UPDATE: Full set of how-to instructions can now be found here.]

[IMPORTANT UPDATE 2: Final version of this guide for iPhone 3GS with Pwnage Tool is posted here. For iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G, use Redsn0w guide posted here.]

The description of the bundle, as posted by msft.guy is as follows.

3GS GM bundle.. Don’t forget to update Cydia or add OpenSSH and OpenSSL

iOS 4

PwnageTool 3.1.5 Jailbreak

Since I haven’t tried this bundle yet, I cant really comment on how well it works. So I will recommend you to stay away unless you are a very advanced user and know your iPhone inside out.

And since the iPhone Dev Team has already promised to release full jailbreak and unlock for iOS 4 sometime this month, I will highly recommend you all to wait for the official PwnageTool 4.0 release before messing around with your phone. Stay tuned for more updated on this space!

In the meantime, If you are on iPhone OS 3.1.3, you can follow our step by step guides to jailbreak iPhone 3GS with Spirit here, iPod touch 3G untethered here, and iPad on OS 3.2 here. You can also use redsn0w 0.9.3, redsn0w 0.9.4, sn0wbreeze, PwnageTool 3.1.5 to jailbreak iPhone and iPod touch. Unlocking can be done using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w.

For iPhone 3.1.2 firmware, you can use blackra1n, PwnageTool, redsn0w, sn0wbreeze, ultrasn0w and blacksn0w to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone and iPod touch.

UPDATE 1: Here is the video proof of iOS 4 GM Jailbroken on iPhone 3GS.

Looking forward to seeing if this is “already” done for the new phone. Or at least how long it will take.

I call less than a week!

I don't get it: Will I be able to hacktivate, jailbreak and unlock my iPhone 3GS with the new bootroom by using this thing to update to the GM?

So if I unlock my iPhone, what does that do for me? Can I go to US Cellular and use their service? Or to Verizon?

I have a 3gs jailbroken with spirit and I can't add the source “http://apple-news.fr/repo/”. What can I do to add that source?

So is it true that the iphone 3G wont be able to update to the OS 4?? I thought I heard that somewhere and if so I'm goint to be most displeased.

No you can not use this on Verizon, iPhone is a GSM phone…. Verizon is a CDMA network….

you cant restore from spirit iphone to custom firmware! you should restore from custom firmware to custom firmware! or from blackra1n-iphone but not spirit-iphone!

IF YOU HAVE THE BASEBAND 5.12….. OR BIGGER, YOU CANT INSTALL THIS VERSION. YOU CANT DO THE JAILBREAK “iOS 4 GM”. DONT TRY. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

IF YOU DID (AND GET THE 1604 ERROR), JUST RESTORE THE 3.1.3 OS WITH ITUNES, RESTORE YOUR PHONE, DO JAILBREAK WITH SPIRIT AGAIN AND WAIT FOR THE FINAL “iOS 4″.

Me June 8th, 2010

BUT, IF YOU HAVE A 3G IPHONE YOU CAN INSTALL THE “iOS 4 GM” AND JAILBREAK WITH REDSNOW OFFICIAL BETA. LOOK AT DEV-TEAM OFFICIAL PAGE.

Nope even iPhone 3G can use iOS4 which will also give it the much needed video recorder feature in its camera.

yes you can update an iPhone 3G what you won't have is multitasking and some other features

Use iTunes 9.0.3.15

This method can Hacktivate my iPhone 3GS?
My custom firmware is ready, but I've got a “iPod 3GS” (Baseband 5.12.01 has block my network, my 3GS is on 3.1.3, juste activated but without network. I'm waiting for a software unlock for 5.12.01).

So, if I restore with this firmware, my iPhone 3GS will be Hacktivated or no? There is an option in Pwnagetool that allow us to active iPhone.

1604 is easy to troubleshoot, try latest iTunes (9.2) + change usb port, I get this annoying error few times and changing USB port to new one help me in 100% cases.

Ok. Feel stupid here. I have jailbroken all of my iphones before, but have never had to deal with a bundle. What do we do with it?

Ollie B June 9th, 2010

So does anybody know if this actually works?? When upgrading to 4.0 I used upgrade rather than restore and i had custom carriers so now it just says iPod at the top I don't want to restore, takes ages.

He's right, this doesn't work on spirit 3.1.3. But you dont have to restore, you can use ih8sn0w's restore loop fixer tool to get back to normal. Then wait a couple weeks for the real deal.
