Updated: Jailbreak tool for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G on iOS 4/4.0.1 and iPad on iOS 3.2.1 released
For those of you who were patiently waiting to jailbreak your iPhone running either iOS 4 or 4.0.1, your wait is finally over as iPhone hacker Comex has released a tool to get the job done. It is a web based jailbreak so simply point your mobile safari browser to www.jailbreakme.com and your wait will be over. Heck, you can even use this tool to jailbreak your iPad running 3.2.1.
The servers seemed to be overwhelmed currently but keep checking the link above and let us know how it goes for you! If you have questions and want to learn more about jailbreaking be sure to visit our forum dedicated to the topic here.
Update: The server issues we mentioned now seem to have been corrected and you can now access the link freely.
Update 2: If you decide to run this jailbreak tool please note that Engadget has managed to brick their iPhone. So please, proceed with caution. Other users are reporting this breaking MMS along with FaceTime and that it is not working on the iPad.

Does anyone know if MyWi works on the iPhone 4? Please let me know...Email me at Whatsupchia@gmail.com Thank you!
@Chiapet I have iOS 4.0.1 and MyWi is working fine.
Thank you!Saice 101!!!
I am sure now with this out, it wont be long until someone can get 3Gunrestricter to fake out the FaceTime portion of the phone to make it work over 3G
@saice101 its actually not working it keeps asking me to restart my phone cause of an error..I removed the app and my phone is fine!
After i slide it just sticks on the purple background.. am i missing something?
Help! Anyone have a fix for the "stuck in safe mode" after reboot?
Works fine for me on iPhone 4. Sbsettings, lockinfo, working great.
After I slide, it is just stuck on the purple screen. Any suggessions!?
Hi ,thank you ,meanwhile i can recomment one website to you . If you want ot buy ong new Iphone 4 ,you can login in http://www.trade-whole.com/apple-iphone-4-black-16gb-unlocked-mc603ba-gsm-cellular-phone-p-366.html to have a good choice ,that is a peifect choice i sure.
Look no matter what Apple does they will continue to dig their own grave. I mean it does have some great features but white or not the iPhone 4 has major design flaws. Design should never come before function and usability. Apple seems to have forgotten that.
I mean the iPhone 4 held the number one spot in the top ten ranking on pc world. Once Apple gave that press conference they took it down with out explanation. However, http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/ took a look into it. The results are rather interesting
I hope everyone that had such a bad attitude towards Comex regarding the FaceTime issues, realizes that they have a correction for it that was done just hours later. I'm sure the same people that were also complaining about then issue were the same people that were complaining that it was taking too long for a jailbreak that had been delayed, because they were trying to iron out these issues. Like I've seen some people post....it is AT YOUR OWN RISK and these people were working so hard to bring you this for free.
So t-mobile users can't use this right even if you have the 3Gs on wifi for safari to JB the app?
Can someone for the love of god please clarify does this also unlock the Iphone?Or is there any other software simultaneously released for this purpose? This makes all the difference to a billion asians!!
I just found a website with full pics, faqs and tutorials, maybe it'll help - http://www.iosjailbreak.net . Helped me a lot because it was simple... JBd my devices (two iPhone 3GS, both with 4.0.1) by following the instructions from there and it all went buttery smooth!
I have tried this literally about 150 times on an iphone 3gs 4.0 and every single time when I slide the slider across on jailbreakme.com it just loads the purple mac wallpaper then quits out to the homescreen!EVERY TIME!!! I have just restored back to 4.0 but still it wont start the download just quits out again! Is anyone else having the same problem?? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance 
for those have the crash problem with the mac wallpaper displayed even after several tries, here is the solution :
go to setttings and remove all the cookies and cache. Then reboot your device and try again with jailbreakme.com or jailbreakme.us. Ensure to have wifi or good 3G cover in order to download the files needed for JB. It takes less than 2 minutes.
Enjoy!
I have tried it a few times, even restarted iPhone and reseting the browser history and stuff, it just goes to the stars wallpaper and then goes to the springboard but no cydia icon. I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS4 GM, could it be the GM version thats not jailbreakable?
@Morte Di Dio. I have the exact same problem as you and I am also running the GM version of 4.0. I think it could be the problem. I am going to update to 4.0.1 and I will see what happens
Your note above says it does not work on the iPad. That is not true. I have an iPad 3.2.1 and performed it last night. I had a few hiccups, but the retried and do overs did the trick. I documented it in an iPad 3.2.1 Walkthrough Guide at http://bit.ly/cXLith
I also walked my brother through it over the phone and he Jailbroke his iPhone 4.0.1. I will have him test MMS and Facetime
Carl W. Brooks
@Jason47. I would update to 4.0.1 too and try it but I live with my dad and we have been going over our monthly download limit so he has blocked most websites and web content, iTunes just happens to be in one of those blocked web content he has blocked, could you please tell me if this works for you. Additional info. I have MC model iPhone 3GS, but I have been jailbroken on 3.1.2 with blackra1n
So my jailbreak went smoothly... still have MMS & FaceTime. However - I can not find Rock via Cydia to DL mywi. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks
Clearing the cache, cookies and rebooting solved the problem with nothing happening after the slide. It's downloading now...
Anyone having issues installing MyWi? I'm on 4.0.1 and im getting an error.
I'm trying to install MyWi from modmyi, I keep getting connection errors with it. I tried to install different items from modmyi, but same problems. I get reload their source ok from time to time. I'm guessing their tied up with all the jailbreakers downloading stuff.
It seams all the Cydia sources are flooded with traffic. apt.modmyi.com keeps timing out. It looks like it will take a few days for everyone to calm down before you can even install any Cydia apps successfully. I want MyWi but can't get RockApp to download. Aggg.
and its reversable? Meaning it can be undone and back to as it was? WOw that is cool. So I get warranty again. Anyone comment?
i downloaded the break, then eventually it went back to the home screen and i didn't know if it did anything. i then restarted the phone, and now it's stuck on the apple logo (iphone 4). no itunes info, just the apple logo. i can't do anything except hold the home and power buttons to shut it off. any ideas?
You can always go back to original. If you need warranty work just do a restore but don't rejailbreak. Just hold home+sleep for about 10 secs until the screen goes black. Now hold the home button while pluging in the USB cable. Continue holding home until you see the iTunes logo on your phone. Now run iTunes and it will tell you that the phone is in restore mode. Click ok and then click restore. Once the restore is done it will ask if you want to restore your backup. It is impossible to brick an iPhone. Just be sure to sync before doing a jailbreak in case you have problems.
Stephen, mine did the same thing. It went back to the home screen and Cydia wasn't installed. So I went back to jailbreakme.com again and it said the last attempt failed and to swipe to try again. So I did and this time it worked fine. Had I rebooted after the first failed attempt I may have been in a loop too.
Jenn, RockApp probably isn't showing up because Cydia is having trouble refreshing all the sources due to high traffic. Hopefully the traffic will die off some time today.
I tried to do the jb last night, but kept getting just the purple screen, so I waited until 6:30 this morning & it went smoothly. I have running jb on my iPhone 3g with iOS 4.0.1..the world makes sense again, well sorta..Yay!
@ermax I have Rock and that is where my license for mywi is saved. I got every other paid app on there but that one.. maybe its b/c im on 4.0.1 and not 4.0. I guess i'll just wait until they update it if that is the issue.
Facetime works on my3g. I've used it already
. Im sure those of you that have 3g unrestrictor dont want to pay for another app that does the same thing but it does work. jus an fyi
Mr. MiAmI, great news!! I was curious if it would run over 3G but haven't had a chance to test it.
i have a question, i press on cydia make my life easier cause i have shsh store, but in my display says, this device has a pending tss request, what that mean?
Well I finally got Rock installed but I am also having trouble installing MyWi. It just says retrieving licence. I am guessing it is overloaded servers.
Haha.. spoke to soon. It just installed.
Jailbreak iPhone 4. Go to jailbreakme.com from your iphone or iPad.
Jailbreak iPhone 4. Go to http://www.jailbreakme.com from your iphone or iPad.
@ermax I'm going to try again. What firmware do you have?
my precious MyWi.. yesssssssssssssssss...
Hahaha.. So glad to have tethering back. I guess you got yours working now but FYI, I am running 4.0.1 too.
I just installed SpringFlash. It's a flashlight that uses the LED flash and is activated by Activator. I configured mine to turn on when I double tap the status bar. Even from the lock screen.
@ermax Only thing that sucks is I have to pay an extra $10 bux after my trial is up but o well... beats paying at&t 20 bux a month.
Anyone having problems w/ Cydia? Overload maybe?
This is great because my sleep/wake button does not work on my 3g does anyone know an easy way to add native multitask on 3g
I have a 3gs and every time I try to jailbreak I get an error message reading "invalid file." What can I do?
This is a great news to get the best out of your iphone, thanks for sharing, I'd better wait for the iphone 4.1 and see.
i keep getting a screen that says 'file received not valid" what do i do to fix this
At first I tried and it errored out, and now I get an error 'Oops... A server with the specified hostname could not be found.' Any suggestions?
After I slide to jailbreak it loads for a few seconds & then it says the server wasn't found?! Help?
Same issue here, server not found. Any ideas or are we just going to have to wait awhile?
Jailbreak was a snap. Cydia and just about every repo seems to be down though.
@Morte Di Dio. Hey, I just updtaed my iPhone 3GS to the official 4.0.1 firmware in itunes and it sucessfully jailbroke on the first attempt with no problems! So it must be the GM versions of the iOS's which isnt working with jailbreakme.com!!!
Update to 4.0.1 when you can and then have fun with your jailbroken iphone 
I've narrowed my list of currently non-working extentions to: Cydget Loader (trying to run CyDialer crashes phone) Action Menu (when running, tapping any text field returns phone to home screen) Snappy (outright doesn't work)
@Morte
I was out-of-the box 4.0 and my jailbreak worked flawlessly.
Didn't work for me on 3gs 4.0.1. After the download then I see the "Sit tight" screen for 1 second before Safari crashes. I have tried many times but no luck.
The crash caused all pictures to be blurred and unclear. This was however fixed through hard reset
I was able to successfully hack my way around my dads internet blocking tools and updated to 4.0.1 and have jailbroken first try and loving it, although the only thing I really wanted was the bluetooth and install0us
Ipad software can update incessant .I bought one Apple Ipad wifi 63gb from http://www.trade-whole.com/apple-ipad-wiff-mb294ll-64gb-wiff-p-313.html in competitive price.It bring me a lot convenient. I like it very much.
I jailbroke my iphone 4 (was running on iOS 4) and was not carefull on the instructions and updated to the genuine iOS 4.01 firmware. I read that I shouldn't have done that. Any ideas that might help? (I tried restoring to iOS 4 and itunes does not even open the ipsw file but even if it would, according to the jailbreak websites it wouldnt jailbreak again.) Help!!!
harry, why u and the rest give excuses, do not say u updated the phone by mistake, plus u can jailbreak running 4.0.1, so whats the problem
Yay!! I've been waiting for this one! I like the jailbreaking spirit. I just saw other article about Jailbreaking for iPad from aneesoft. some people who want to know more can read it.
I have the same problem, I had jailbroken my 3GS running iOS4 and then upgraded to 4.0.1 and now can't jailbreak. I read that if you pot your iphone in DFU mode you can probably get the jailbreak to work, I do have not yet tried but hope it helps.
Harry, it did work. Just make sure you sync first to recover all your programas and data. It takes time but is a perfect recovery, oh I love my iPhone and regret all the time and money I wasted with my windows mobile device.
Does this work for iPhone 4?
You raise a very fabulous point. I hadn't considered that before. Outstanding article.
When I go to jailbreakme.com all it says is Not supported on iPhone 3G. What do I do.
All it says is does not work on iPhone 3g any thoughts.
I got the white 16GB wi-fi but I do wonder if I will want 32GB in the future. It's my first iPad, so we will see. I didn't get 4G for the reasons you mention, I have an iPhone with Hotspot and the contract expires this year.
