Attention!!!! For those who have iPhone 3GS there’s  an important news we have i.e a modified version of Pwange tool is floating on the internet that promises to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS without upgrading baseband, but actually it doesn’t patches some important files which are essentially required for the ultrasnow unlock to work properly. The creators of  Pwange tool have confirmed this news that this version of Pwange tool is a modified one and it is distributed without their permission. According to the creators of Pwange tool.

@iH8sn0w hah the bigger problem is people risking their baseband with this rogue pirated PT from @4n0nym0u5DEV (which doesn’t even work!)

@danielsowden nope. And it really is broken in some very important (obvious!) ways (and very risky for unlockers to use too

So we will suggest you to not to use that version of Pwange tool and you should wait for the creators to release of the official and genuine version of Pwang tool.

As you know that red-snow 0.9.5 jailbreak tool for iPhone OS 4 works only for iPhone 3g, so this news might sound good if you are an iPhone 3GS owner as an ex Apple employee KaatjeNL has successfully managed to jailbreak iPhone 3GS, so now you can jailbreak your iPhone 3GS that has iPhone os 4 installed. The best part of KaatjeNL’s jailbreak method is that it doesn’t upgrade your baseband which means that you can use your old baseband i.e ultra snow while running OS 4 on you iPhone 3GS.

According to KaatjeNL

This is a work in progress but I thought I would share the results so far. Cydia still has some issues, many applications install but crash, some examples include mobileterminal, sbsettings, five icon dock. I did this only to hopefully motivate the developers to get their applications ready for 4.0 as it is coming very soon and the last thing we need in the community is to have repos full of broken apps! I accomplished this by patching asr, lockdownd, LLB, iBEC, IBSS, iBoot, kernelcache, MobileSafari, Services.plist, and fstab. The binaries were patched with IDA Pro and OxED and were then diffed against the original pwned files with bsdiff to create patch files. I then took the diff files and built a firmware bundle that I dropped into Pwnagetool and updated the cydia tree within Pwnagetool as well. Once this was done, I created a custom ipsw with Pwnagetool, unzipped it, applied a pwned LLB from a pwnagetool generated 3.1.3 ipsw, zipped it back up and restored to my device. At this time I am unable to get my T-Mobile NL sim to work so I downgraded back to 3.1.3 after playing around with 4.0 for a while. I look forward to the release and the official unlock from the Dev-Team. Many thanks to @p0sixninja for many hours patiently showing me the tricks and tips of jailbreaking 4.0b3 and then setting me out on my own to do beta 4. Without his tutelage, this would not have been possible

There is no Time of Arrival given for this release. This method will probably be used in the next version of PwnageTool to jailbreak the final version of iPhone OS.

Today 11/03/2009 is a sn0w day. GeoHot is releasing the blacksn0w today, so be ready to get those calls which you missed. blacksn0w will be live at Noon EST, @t blackra1n.com. blacksn0w is the unlock for the latest iPhone baseband 05.11.07.

How to unlock your iPhone:

If you are a loyal blackra1n user who kept the blackra1n.app on your iPhone, run it. You will see Icy replaced by an option “ra1n”. Install this to upgrade your app. After upgrading, run blackra1n.app again. You will see “sn0w”. Install this, and enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

If you are new to the scene, just looking for an unlock, finally ready to upgrade to 3.1.2 and the accompanying baseband, willing to restore for the latest and greatest, or stuck on the “Connect to iTunes” screen, you are in luck. Jailbreaking and unlocking have never been easier. Go to blackra1n.com, click on the logo corresponding to your operating system, run the app, and click “make it ra1n”. When your phone reboots, you’ll see blackra1n.app. Run this, install blacksn0w, and enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

If you jailbroke using pwnage or deleted your blackra1n.app, you are in luck too. Sometime later in the sn0wday, blacksn0w will be added to Cydia, and instructions will be posted on GeoHot’s blog.

If you are on a 2G iPhone, blacksn0w isn’t an option for you. ButBootNeuter is, a completely free permanent unlock for your 2G. Of course, blackra1n will work great, and even hacktivate for you.

If you have been getting 404 errors when downloading from blackra1n.com, first off, be sure you use the links at blackra1n.com If you are, something is blocking your http referrer.

As you read in my previous post that Blackra1n is coming today. So, GeoHot releases both Windows as well as Mac OS version of Blackra1n RC2 at blackra1n.com.

Update Includes:

• Fixed 3G issues
• Tethered jailbreak for 3.1 OOTB ipt 8GB and new 3GSs
• Fixed Icy issues
• Both Windows and Mac

If you used RC1 successfully there is no need to run RC2. For more updates keep visiting ZJTechLive.com

When GeoHot releases of the Blackra1n RC1 there were some problems in the utility. Now GeoHot tweeted that an update is coming tomorrow which will fix many problems including 3G Support,tethered ipt2 MC and new 3GS support. He said that Icy has already fixed. So,its a good news for those having problems using Blackra1n. But no good news for those iPhone users, who have updated their iPhone to Official OS 3.1 update and their baseband upgraded to 05.11.07 and they lose their unlock. But we hope it will be unlocked soon. You can download the updated Blackra1n RC2 tomorrow from blackra1n.com. For more updates about jailbreaking and unlocking keep visiting ZJTechLive.com
