Well the Dev team has done it again. They released the new PwnageTool 4.0 that supports jailbreaking the new iOS4 released yesterday.

iPhone 2G - not supported
iPod Touch - not supported
iPod Touch 3G - not supported

Straight from the DEV Team :

On Monday, Apple released firmware 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. This of course was a major upgrade.

As advised, you shouldn’t have upgraded your devices if you have previously relied on our tools for hacktivation and/or a carrier unlock.

With that said, today we are releasing PwnageTool 4.0

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY, THERE ARE KNOWN UPGRADE TRAPS AND DIFFERENT UPGRADE SCENARIOS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED BEFORE USING THESE TOOLS.

Each supported device has few different scenarios that users need to consider when performing the upgrades, you need to check below and perform the upgrade in the particular way that matches your current device state.

NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 certain devices are not supported this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software. We’re working on ways to get past these restrictions.

iPhone 2G - not supported
iPod Touch - not supported
iPod Touch 3G - not supported

PwnageTool 4.0 only recognizes the official IPSWs that came out yesterday. If you had developer access to the “4.0 GM” IPSWs, do not try to use those.

iPhone 3GS

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

iPhone 3G

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 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

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.

Baseband Unlock

As you probably know by now, ultrasn0w has been updated to cover all basebands from 04.26.08 onward. Many thanks to @sherif_hashim for finding the crashing command that the new ultrasn0w 0.93 uses! He worked hard at finding the crash, and he kept it confidential until the right time to use it.
iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions. Once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.0, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.
Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock - but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in).

Please feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below. We’ve got a bunch of expert help there, including our friendly moderators confucious and angie!

	Anonymous - i have a ipod touch 2nd generation mc model 8gb will this jailbreak my ipod? and how do i do it? can someone help please? thanks


	Anonymous - If you have firmware 3.1.3, just use Spirit. www.spiritjb.com Download the one compatible with your computer, plug in your iPod, and hit Jailbreak. It takes less than 1 minute.


	Anonymous - i have firmware 4.0 so will this jailbreak my ipod?


	Anonymous - i had a jailbreak on 3.1.3 with spirit, then upgrade to 4.0. but no jb with pwnage possible. what to do? thanks in advance!!!!


	iphone3g-mods - Anonymous - i have a ipod touch 2nd generation mc model 8gb will this jailbreak my ipod? and how do i do it? can someone help please? thanks at this time to be jailbroken you need to stay on version 3.X, your ipod is not supported by this tool


	Anonymous - I have a iphone 3g running 3.1.2 which is jailbroken and i also believe unlocked, although i dont know to which network it was originally locked to and i dont know which method this phone was broken..... what is the best course of action in order to upgrade to 4.0 and then ultimately jailbreak and (unlock if needed?)


	Anonymous - I have a 16gb 3gs running 3.13, 5.12.01 and 359.3 (old?) bootloader, 6.4 bootrom. I have a T-mobile simcard, not inserted yet. I have tried to jailbreak v. Spirit but got error messages, so haven't jailbroken or unlocked at all yet. I have read dozens of pages questions and comments on several sites, but have no difinitive answers. My questions are: 1. Will PwnageTool 4.0 work for my phone, and 2. If not, can I restore the phone to its current state and wait for a later fix?


	Sonofabronc - Your site says I must have a jailbroken phone (but not using Spirit) to use PwnageTool 4.0. Jailbreakmatrix says the only jailbreak available for my phone is Spirit. Am I in Iphone hell or is there a fix???


	iphone3g-mods - will only work with the old bootloader for now, so just leave it on 3.1.3 and use spirit to jailbreak make sure you are not using itunes 9.2


	Khan - hi there i have iphone 3gs 3.13 5.12 with new bootloader stuck on emergency screen is there any way to unlock it please help


	Anonymous - "If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0" Would this be considerd the "tethered" jailbreak? I also rely on the unlock to use the phone. Thus meaning there is no JB for my phone? Kinda get confused with so many people talking about this all..


	Anonymous - hi i have an ipod touch 2g 8 gb mc model with the firmware 4.0 and i have just downgraded it to 3.1.2 and then jailbreaked it with blackra1n very easy...


	Anonymous - If you only have a tmobile sim and you can't do spirit on 3.1.3 its because you have not "unlocked" the itunes required screen yet. Take any AT&T sim even if its not active but used to be, put it in the phone and connect to a computer. Then spirit will work, then you can download ultrasn0w with cydia and THEN you can use your tmobile sim.


	xxm4n1acxx - This site says that the pwnage tool currently only works on previously jailbroken 3gs models. But I thought that the pwnage tool was the only way to JB the 3gs 4.0 (according to JB Matrix). Boot loader is not the issue here I have the old one, however I updated my phone to 4.0 and its not currently jailbroken or unlocked. Is there a solution?


	iphone3g-mods - YES thats becasue you need to an custom 4.0 if you are already on 4.0 you cant, unless you have yoru shsh saved from 3.1.3 then you can go back and upgrade using custom 4.0 firmware


	xxm4n1acxx - how do i find if i have my shsh saved from 3.1.3? if it is saved, how do I go back and upgrade using custom 4.0 firmware?


	adam - I have a 3gs 32gb and I already installed 4.0 os, will this work for me to get cydia? All I want to do is unlock the phone. plz help


	Anonymous - your faked for now, wait for the new tool should be here shortly


	pizi - I have 3gs 3.1.3os, 05.13.04 bb and its jailbroken and unlock by using sprit.... Can i upgrade it into ios4 ....? Can it possiable to jailbrake and unlock ios4 on 3gs with old bootrom....?


	Anonymous - can someone help me jb/unlock? i checked my boot loader and i should be able to jb however i think i may be doing something wrong.


	Anonymous - I have a 3GS with 3.1.2 (7D11). It looks as if what is available will work for me. am I correct?


	Anonymous - i have an ipod touch 2g mc that runs on 4.0 firmware. Is there a untethered/ tethered jailbreak for me??


	Anonymous - Hey everybody, thanks a lot for the instructions so far, it helped me a lot. But still i am not quite sure what to do and what's possible to do with my phone. i have a iphone 3gs which was upgraded to os 4.0 via itunes by the guy i bought it from. he told me it was jailbroken once for a while but didnt know anything about saved shsh bloobs or anything like that. i just checked the bootrom and it's the old one 359.3! Now i am not sure what i can do and what i cant do. is it possible to jailbreak and unlock this phone at the moment? Thank you very much for your help. cheers, johnny


	dd - Hi I created the custom 4.0, put the iphone 3.1.2 into dfu mode and tried to restore from itunes 9.2.
