JAILBREAK TOOL for 3G iPhone RELEASED
A group calling themselves the 'iPhone Dev Team' have released a software tool called 'PwnageTool 2.0', a utility for the MAC Operating system, OSX (sorry windows users) allowing Jailbreak on the new iPhone 3G. This will allow you to use 3rd party Software.
While we do not endorse the tool, and make NO guarantee's of it's performance (USE at your own risk), it may be just the thing you need to open up your iPhone to the wide assortment of software thats been developed since the original iPhone was Jailbroken.
You can find the tool at either of the following mirrors:
In order to use PwnageTool 2.0, use the following precautions:
- Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities and type mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support”
- Delete all iPhone software updates from ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
- Launch Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities) and quit the process “iTunes Helper”
When using the tool, which is relatively straightforward, take note of the following
- Use the 1,1 image for first-generation iPhones running OS 2.0.
- Make sure the iPhone is “off” when building the ipsw (as instructed inside the application)
For more information on jailbreak applications, see this resource.
APC Mag also has a GREAT WRITE up on how to Jailbreak the 3G iPhone using this software.
