PwnageTool 3.1.3 Released to Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1; Adds Support for iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G

PwnageTool 3.1.3 will not support OOTB (out of the box) iPhone 3GS,
which had iPhone OS 3.1 pre-installed or iPhone 3GS that had not been
jailbroken or pwned earlier.

The iPhone dev team has published the following details on their blog
about jailbreaking iPhone OS 3.1:

1) GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with
ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you
should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new
PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to
remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer
versions of the iPhone software in the future.

2) Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.

3) Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.

4) At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1
capable version of PwnageTool.

5) PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS assuming you have already
Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1

6) PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G assuming you have
already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1

7) PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the
iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd
Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.

8) For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to
updating in the future, just remember to never install an update
directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with
PwnageTool.

9) There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool
only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G(S)

This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G(S) for $$$$$$$. This model
of iPhone 3G(S) doesn't have an Service Provider lock (aka factory
unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get
service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry
about baseband updates, if your device was Pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 then
you can use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to update
and jailbreak your phone.

can use PwnageTool to create a 3.1.ipsw and then use this to with
iTunes to upgrade and jailbreak your phone.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your
newly created .ipsw 'nuff said, you don't need to worry about
anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken.

iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw
using iTunes.

iPod Touch 2G

Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw
using iTunes, this will only work if you are already Pwned at 3.0 or
3.1. If you are at 3.1, downgrade to 3.0 and use redsn0w to Pwn 3.0
then you have an upgrade path using PwnageTool.

iPod Touch 3G

At this time PwnageTool does not support this device.

Please take a backup of your iPhone before you use PwnageTool to
jailbreak it. Please refer to this post for more details. As with any
hack, please proceed with caution as jailbreaking your iPhone could
void it's warranty.
