Dev Team Upgrades Jailbroken 3GS From 3.0 To 3.1

Edward Kirk · October 2nd, 2009, 01:56 AM

The iPhone Dev Team has announced that they have successfully upgraded a jailbroken iPhone 3GS from OS 3.0 to 3.1 without losing the jailbreak. This means that there will probably be an update to the PwnageTool soon to support making a custom IPSW for upgrading the iPhone 3GS. We'll let you know as soon as it drops.

Proof that they upgraded a jailbroken 3GS:

But is there any way to jailbreak 3.1? It seems tethering is the main reason I won't upgrade yet. I don't want to lose tethering, and I'm nervous SB's 6.0 carrier file won't enable it again for some reason.

You don't have to go to iclarified for this news.

This was released directly by a dev team member from their twitter page.

@deise boy There are some Custom Restores out there that do work, I updated from a jailbroken 3.01 recently. Maybe you have to keep trying until you find one that does.

I, also, await an updated Windowz version. I miss the feature that changes the bootup picture.

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

That's the dev s answer to windows users. Bastards. As there's loads who updated through iTunes either through mistake or stupidity. And are now fucked as there's no way to jailbreak as they can't get there hands on a mac.

Complete balls.

Or for those whose iPhones bricked and had no choice but to restore and update.

iPhone 3GS
Mac OS 10.6.1
Pwnage Tool 3.1.3

I upgraded to 3.1. Why? For some reason, I thought I couldn't activate MMS unless I did. How many darned MMS have I sent? Not many. I missed the jailbroken world. Then, when Pwnage Tool 3.1.3 came out, I saw that I was boned. I tried to restore to a jailbroken .ipsw file I created. Got stuck in an endless loop of pain. So, I managed to conquer the 1604 error and moved back to 3.1.

THEN, I did some googling and found I could downgrade the firmware (but not the baseband) to 3.0. I did this by modifying my /hosts file and adding the ip address for gs.apple.com. And was able to downgrade to 3.0. Following the instructions, it took two tries, and still returned an error, but the phone was at 3.0. No phone service because of baseband mismatch, I suppose. Then, I jailbroke with redsn0w.

Then ran Pwnage Tool 3.1.3 and now have a jailbroken 3.1 device. Unlockable, because of baseband update (my fault), but overall very satisfactory.
