The iPhone Dev Team has posted an iPhone OS 3.0-capable version of the PwnageTool for unlocking iPhone, iPhone 3G, and first-generation iPod touch running the OS 3.0 released Wednesday. It should be noted that it will not work for the iPhone 3G S posted a guide detailing how you should use their jailbreaking and unlocking tools based on your situation is.

They also warn that you SHOULD NOT use this PwnageTool release if you are using an iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to get cell service.

They also note that the current verison of yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version in the OS 3.0 update. Ultrasn0w will be required to unlock iPhones and iPhone 3Gs running OS 3.0. They say it will be released in the Installer and Cydia apps "shortly", so keep an eye out.

You can read their whole post and get the download links for the new version of PwnageTool at their blog.

There doesn't seem to have been any development on the software for several months as far as I can tell. I wouldn't wait for it.

Every time I use PwnageTool I can't get my iPhone 3G to go into DFU mode. QuickPWN is definitely easier to use. Hopefully they'll release QuickPWN 3.0 for the Mac over the weekend.

use the pwnage tool and put the iphone in DFU mode using the tool, then when you open itunes the restore button is the only option. option click and choose the newly created file.

I even used this tool to unbrick my original iphone from the locked beta version which i was not registered in...

I just used redsn0w on my first gen iPhone and it worked great. I'm now on a jailbroken 3.0 app store and Cydia side by side. The world is good again.

3G S

So how long do you guys think before the dev team come out with a jailbreak/unlock for the 3G S?? I know the dev team are amazing at what they do, so i gues about a month before they come out with it. And i can only imagine the 3rd party apps that doesnt make it thru apple and come to cydia will be like. Specialy with the new API's that are out. The possibilities are almost endless.
