Download Pwnage Tool 3.1 for Mac

 September 22, 2009 No Comment

Pwnage Tool 3.1 for Mac OS X has been released by the Dev team to support jailbreaking the iPhone 2G, the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch 1G on Iphone firmware 3.1. Note that iPhone 3G S is not yet supported.But ensure that you carefully follow their instructions and do not try to upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1, by connecting your iPhone to computer.

We had earlier announced that Apple had released iPhone OS 3.1 during its “Rock iPhone OS 3.1 and Roll” event in San Francisco on September 09 2009. While iPhone Firmware 3.1 features are not as interesting as in iPhone firmware 3.0, we had also warned that if you are using an unlocked iphone, don’t upgrade to 3.1, unless you are sure that there are no cracks available for iPhone OS 3.1.

Dev team has reiterated the importance of the following golden rule in using Pwnage Tool 3.1 for Mac OS X:

  • If you are using a 3G iPhone unlocked with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should only upgrade to 3.1 with a PwnageTool created .ipsw and not directly from Apple by connecting iPhone to the computer.
  • If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.1 unlock works with this PwnageTool release. iPhone 3G users upgrading to 3.1 will need to continue using ultrasn0w with a PwnageTool created 3.1 .ipsw

Since PwnageTool 3.1 works only on Mac OS X, windows users have to wait until the Dev team releases redsn0w to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.

Updates From Dev Team:

  • As of iPhone firmware 3.1, the *.ipcc carrier bundles are signed, and you can no longer force tethering capability simply by crafting your own bundle. Though this obstacle can probably be overcome by virtue of the jailbreak,that extra hack is so far not part of the PwnageTool custom IPSW creation.
  • Unlocked users on the 3G will probably notice that the name and/or logo of their carrier is missing, but they still have full bars and a signal. So far this seems to be purely a cosmetic issue and it doesn’t impact your signal or coverage. Dev team hopes to fix this when they release the 3GS compatible version of PwnageTool.
