iOS 4 Jailbreak Now Available

If you have upgraded your Apple [AAPL] iPhone and want to jailbreak iOS 4 then the iPhone DevTeam now have some software that can do just that.

The DevTeam has released Pwnage Tool 4.01 that can jailbreak iOS 4 under certain conditions. It will successfully jailbreak iPhone 3G and 3GS models, but does not support iPhone 2G, iPod Touch and the iPod Touch 3G. Also there’s a few problems/caveats when jailbreaking the iPhone which you can see listed below. Make sure you take a read and study the rules before trying to jailbreak the device.

iPhone 3GS iOS 4 Jailbreak

Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.

If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01

iPhone 3G iOS 4 Jailbreak

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.

If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.

If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.

As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.

iPod touch 2G iOS 4 Jailbreak

If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.

As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

The tool to jailbreak (Pwnage 4.01) is available here. We also recommend you read the full instructions over on their site as we just grabbed some snippets from there.

    while I’m not a huge iThing fan ’cause of their horrible “exclude it and they will come for more” ideals, I do love to see that they’ve been trampled on by the little guy taking away that almighty power!
