Redsn0w 0.9.6rc16 & PwnageTool 4.3.3.1 Released


Submitted by Dan; May 09, 2011
iPhone Dev Team have released updated versions of their jailbreak tools Redsn0w 0.9.6rc16 and PwnageTool 4.3.3.1 to support the recently released iOS 4.3.3 firmware version.
Apple released iOS 4.3.3 on Wednesday, and once again the untethered jailbreak exploit that @i0n1c created for 4.3.1 still works. That makes it an unprecedented three firmwares where the same userland exploit works. Were not exactly sure why Apple hasnt fixed the hole yet, but were not complaining! Todays PwnageTool and redsn0w incorporate @i0n1cs port to 4.3.3 (its ironic that such a long-lasting untether doesnt even have an official name!). It also of course uses geohots limera1n bootrom exploit to inject the jailbreak.
The 4.3.3 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.3 except for the iPad2:
  • iPhone3GS
  • iPhone4 (GSM)
  • iPod touch 3G
  • iPod touch 4G
  • iPad1
    • AppleTV2G (v4.3 8F202)
More from iPhone Dev Team blog:
Some things to note:
  1. ultrasn0w unlockers must stay away from redsn0w! Use only a custom IPSW to update to 4.3.3, to avoid updating your baseband. There are plenty of tutorials for both redsn0w and PwnageTool at sites like iClarified.com. Or feel free to ask away in our comments section below.
  2. ultrasn0w has been updated to v1.2.3 to be compatible with iOS 4.3.3 and earlier (the ultrasn0w update does not include any new baseband support!). Please reboot your iPhone using the normal slide to power off swipe after installing ultrasn0w 1.2.3.
  3. By popular demand, redsn0w now allows you to enable multitasking gestures (although most will find it useful only on iPads).
  4. iPad2 update: The iPad2 jailbreak remains under development. As you may know, the original exploit @comex developed in the first week of the iPad2 release was mysteriously fixed by Apple within days of its development. Partly because of this, dont expect much public discussion of the iPad2 jailbreak until its actually finished and ready for release (and please avoid asking about it). In all liklihood, it will be a userland exploit like the first (unreleased) one, not dependent on bootrom dumps. The first one cant be released even for those with the original 4.3 firmware due to legal (distribution) reasons.

I'm trying to unlock a iphone 3g that was previously unlocked but crashed and had to be restored (yesterday 5/10) by apple to to the latest version. Is there a basic tutorial that will walk me threough it. I went to iclarified but its for a 3gs and assumes v 4.3.3 which I'm not sure is what is on the 3g.
