i am trying to be patient but im dying with out my iphone.. my first one dropped in the toilet went out and bought the new 3g S had to wait a couple weeks to jailbreak it but now i need to unlock it and its been like almost 2 months is there any break through on the unlock??? im dying...

Daisy,
Did the article on the site, referred by you, could be of help to you?
I'm interested as I'm in Kuwait and am gifted with an iPhone 3GS on 3.1 FW shipped from US. Shops around are helpless and are only asking to wait to unlock.

I have a 16G 3G with 3.12 and baseband 5.11.07. AT&T carrier. Can I jailbreak my iphone and have my network stuff work? If so, what version of pawnage/ipsw do I use? Anyone know?
Thanks,

Is anyone going to ever come out with an unlock for fw 3.1.2 ? My phone has been rendered useless, and I refuse to use AT&T. Please help.

is the unlocking process for the 3GS 3.1 software going to take a long time?

The iphone unlocking process was never quick or easy either, it was stressful, so many problems that could occur and nowhere to get support if you needed it.

wow ur all stupid - its a stupid thing dont do it ffs.

Great story you got here. It would be great to read more about this matter.

Hi,
I have an iphone 16-gb, 3.1 firmware version with 05.11.07 baseband...Is there any hopes of unlocking this..how long do you think this will take.... :(

@Jason - How did you do to jailbreak your iphone because I updated mine too.

WHEN WILL THE UNLOCK FOR IPHONE 3GS 3.1 COME OUT Y BOUGHT IT ONE MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND I CAN NOT USE IT STILL PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN WILL IT COME OUT IF IT IS...

i got an iphone from the storeand it comes withv3.1 in the box itself.

@Jason - I am from SG too :), i think u need to download another firmware as the one u download might have the custom option selected in activate phone.

I'm from Singapore. I bought the 8GB iPhone which is unlock version with baseband 04.26.08. I accidentally update to 3.1 with the baseband update to 05.11.07 as well. I downgrade back to 3.0.1 and jailbreak using redsn0w 0.8. Now I can use it to make phone call and install 3rd party software as well.
After sometimes, I decided to use the custom 3.1 ipsw firmware which I download from the internet and jailbreak OS 3.1 and finally my iPhone is jailbroken but cannot detect the network. Using ultrasn0w also cannot unlock the iPhone. Try to downgrade the baseband by using Fuzzyband but it shows not support (Fuzzyband only works with the bootloader 05.08 and mine is 06.04).
No other option, I do the downgrade again from 3.1 to 3.0.1 using QuickPwn 22-1 and jailbreak using redsn0w 0.8. For what I know is 05.11.07 baseband cannot be downgrade and unlock at this moment but howcome I'm able to use my network again. Can someone explain to me?

"COme on guy, we need the jailbreak and unlock for 3gs 3.1 My phone lives in the manufacturer box until then.."
Some little people are so demanding :D

COme on guy, we need the jailbreak and unlock for 3gs 3.1 My phone lives in the manufacturer box until then..

hey i have purchased i phone 3g 3.1 version and base band 05.11.07 is it possible to unlock this. and yes then how many times?

hey Daisy
i think these are only if you had upgraded from previous versions to 3.1 I have the same problem as you, my phone came with 3.1 and seems like there will never be a solution!

actully, due to quite a lot of time on Google, I found this page, which might help everyone. It says how to unlock & jailbreak 3.1 3GS`s.http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/10/how-to-unlock-iphone-3gs-os-3-1-with-...

Hi,
Ive been reading these but Im still confused =S
So, Im being bought an iPhone 3GS (3.1) for Christmas. Will I be able to Jailbreak and Unlock it or even downgrade to 3.0? I would buy it already unlocked but I cant really afford it since the prices for iPhones in the UK is ridiculous, and I really don`t want to have to switch to o2.
(I have Windows)
Someone please help me!!!

What I'd a poorboy 2do. Can't jailbreak my phone.

I got a 3G yesterday and it came with the 3.1 firmware. Do you think they will come out with something to be able to unlock it anytime soon ?

i have a 3g and i upgraded to 3.1 w/o knowin that it wouldnt be able to be unlocked... will this be able to anytime soon be able to be unlocked?

Lol I meant 16gb thanks

Hey..
I have 18g 1phone. Was unlocked and jailbroken on 3.0 then i stupidly updated on iTunes.
It's now on 3.1
will I be able to jailbbreak and unlock to any network soon
??
Thanks

would this new version be able to unlock the new GS iphones? my phone came with 3.1 version from the beginning and all i need is to switch carriers! i dont mind getting the apps the legal way! HELP

So is redsn0w out now? How about now?

Hey guys I'm a newbie to iPhones just had a stituatiom were I tried to jailbrak my phone an it froze! So I had to restore it and it also upgraded to 3.1 so will I ever be able to jail break?Bcuz I heard that the 3.1 on 3 gs was to stop from jail breaking. Any answers?

I downgraded from official 3.1 bb 5.11.07 to 3.0. Ecid ssh on file with cydia.
Yes. Successfully downgraded to 3.0. Had network coverage (AT&T) on 3.0. On 3.1 jailbroken, indo NOT have AT&T network coverage. Searches and then nothing. No Service.
Does ANYOne know how to get cell signal back????????????????????

pdanet pwns for tethering i use it all the time, flawless.

the dev team has done so much to keep hacking the iphone over and over, but if they dont make a windows pwnage tool at all thats fucked up 90% of computer owner own pc and not macs so suck it dev team if you dont make one for the majority pc owners

@MERC
thank you for your thorough and insightful analysis of me. It is much appreciated. Do you know me? I ask because this is such a spot on assessment of my character. being the weak minded attention whore that i am i must also give my utmost gratitude to you for the attention. furthermore, i must thank you for laughing at me and also for your statement of sympathy. this means more to me than you can ever know. With people such as yourself lighting up my dreary and darkened existence, i hope to one day overcome the shortcomings which you so eloquently described. Thank you for not entertaining my nonsense and for putting me squarely into my place......If only you had come along sooner, maybe my life wouldn't be the ravaged hell it has become. Better late than never though. There is a light at the end of the tunnel......Thank you. And good luck to you in life as well. (Though i can tell by your keen observations into the human condition that luck is something you certainly do not need!!!!)
With much gratitude,
"The real truth"

To the real truth, take it down a notch. You say you are running all sorts of miles and are to cool for jailbreaking. It sounds like u are a track fg who thinks they are finally cool. Well guese what, your not. I don't want to kick your a* or make u cry lick the insecure person u are. Just realize that u are a weak minded person who seek attention. I will not respond to your posts again, u are not worth it, nor will I entertain your nonsense. I laugh at u and feel bad for u. Good luck in life, I hope u can overcome your shortcomings.
Luv MERC

I need help, i have upgraded my iphone 3gs on 3.1 FW with official itunes FW, after I downgraded on 3.o and jailbreak again on 3.1 FW i cannot connect again with my carrier network, it is an official carrier network so i dident need to unlock, i just need jailbreak. buta as i said after i jailbreak i don have service. What shoul i do??

"There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool" I think it’s discussing and deftest hat the Dev Team have said the above. Just dumping and leaving the many windows users to get on with it. Thanks a lot Dave team!!!

And I have. done this using vista with custom IPSW

I need help, i have upgraded my iphone 3gs on 3.1 FW with official itunes FW, after I downgraded on 3.o and jailbreak again on 3.1 FW i cannot connect again with my carrier network, it is an official carrier network so i dident need to unlock, i just need jailbreak. buta as i said after i jailbreak i don have service.

oket another noob question, i have legally unlocked my iphone, and now i just wanna jailbreak it…
so how do i do that. whats the download link please answer me ty …
btw i have 3.1 firm…

@cj
man are you angry. You really need to take a step back and examine your life. You must have some sort of deep seeded issues that I need to take care of. I almost feel sorry for you. You do realize that this is an Internet blog right? I mean in the great scheme of things Its not rally all that important. You want to beat up someone who wrote something disparaging about you on the Internet? You are seriously unhinged. One of these days I’ll hear a story about some fat naked guy who climbs a telephone pole, Rifle in hand and starts picking people off. That person will be you. Please seek professional help before it is too late.

this tool can't jailbreak 3gs 3.1, it only upgrade 3gs 3.0 to 3.1
Apple won - Hacker lose

@NWcruiser
Plus if you work at apple, honestly we iPhone users know the lack of knowledge you guys truly have about the iPhones and learned to ignore your opinions. You will probably tell me that the iPhone 2g/3g is not able to support video recording like the 3gs yet programs like cycorder and 3gvideocamera allows you to achieve just that. And you will probably tell me there's no way to mms/ tethering with 2g because the hardware can't support it and you should know cause you work at apple and I will tell you wrong again rofl!

@NWcrusier
obviously you haven't heard of apps like PDAnet which is a program that turns your phone into an Internet source. There are others. This program been out for the longest and I use to use it with my palm treo and have been made available to iPhone users through cydia. Speak what you know. Plus with the tethering hack you must have iTunes installed on the computer because it provides the proper drivers to run the iPhone tethering, but the other program you can get through cydia you can use without having any added program requirements. Used these cydia programs with great success way before 3.0 tethering as I stated before.

@cj
will you pay me that $2000 ? Is it negotiable?

Is redsnow ready now? Huh....huh? How about now?

@TIj
im not sitting on my computer and i hope no one else is for that matter as this might be a bit counterproductive. I for one do not feel that stating an opinion is anything close to a waste of time. And as to wether or not i use the information in the article....what does that matter? i read the article because it seemed interesting. for this same reason i decided to comment on it. deal with it. and how exactly am i being a hypocrite? judgmental and a douche i get....but a hypocrite?

How about now?

@therealtruth
Stop playing the victim, no one said you couldn't state your opinion. Opinions are fine, being a hypocrite and a judgmental douche is where people take issue with you. No matter how many anecdotes you throw out about 10 mile runs and training for this and that as an excuse, you're still sitting on your computer like everyone else here, wasting your time. In fact, one could argue that you're wasting your time more than the rest of us as you're not actually going to be using the information in this article.

So...is redsnow out yet?
How about now?
Are we there yet?

@jailbreaker
right on the money.....you tubby bitch

@cj
you have a lot of anger in you don't you. i can picture you; your chubby fingers sweating, pounding on the keys of your second rate pc....your bloated face, reddened....beads of sweat forming......your mom yelling from upstairs yelling dinners ready...."i'm busy!!!!!! not now mom!!!!!!" you should really think about investing in some professional help.......you need a doctor...maybe go for a run!

Can hardly wait. I hate ATT.

I have an iPhone 3GS FW 3.0.1 which is an unlock set and not tied to any carrier. It was JB with Redsn0w. I do not have the 3.0 or 3.0.1 ECID SHSH save. Can this method be used to Jailbreak 3.1. I have been reading a lot and it is getting more confuse as I goes on.

O.K.... I need some serius answers... I have a 3GS 3.1 now. Back in the good old days, I had 3.0 and jailbroke/unlocked it just fine... But due to some MAJOR technical difficulties... I recently had to upgrade to 3.1 rendering my iPhone JBless. Now... My question to the guys who actually know what they're talking about is... Will the new Pwnagetool be able to Jailbreak my iPhone once again. P.S.... The whole saurik's back up method thingy... I knew nothing about at the time...
Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!! I NEED MY GAMEBOY BACK!!!

OH MY GOD... what idiocy. I will say it ONE last time. TETHERING with the Iphone 3G and 3GS with official apple 3.1 upgrade or out of the Box 3G or 3GS IS DEAD..DEAD..DEAD. The Dev team WILL NEVER...NEVER...NEVER bring it back. A few and I mean a VERY few people either updated using ONLY Dev-team software or did not update at all. Those people can still tether. But NO ONE and I mean NO ONE else (which is pretty much all the rest of us) can tether ever again. There is NO HACK, NO WORKAROUND, or NO TRICK that will ever bring tethering back. News flash I work at apple so I know what I'm talking about. The ONLY important thing about any of these phones is tethering all the rest is bullshi*t...AND TETHERING with and up to date iphone is DEAD..PROVE ME WRONG..

@rycebabee Sorry if your baseband has been upgraded to 5.11.07 then you cannot unlock your phone as there is no unlock availabe at this time. There has been speculation that there will never be an unlock. I was in the same situation and I decided to just get rid of my 3g

Hi I have a question. I have 3g with bootloader 5.11.07 and I like most people upgraded to 3.1 and recently downgrade to 3.0. My question is if I have firmware 3.0 and bootloader 5.11.07 can I beable to unlock and jailbreak my phone?
Thanks! Any reply is helpful. =]

@ therealtruth so what your saying is you had some time to kill and you are as you put it a loser with too much time on their hands. I read you loud and clear good buddy. Invest the time in jailbreaking rather than wasting everyones time putting it down. Sorry I wasted everyones time calling you out because it wasn't worth it I would rather have spent it researching jailbreaking. :)

Can anyone explain why Dev Team won't release a Windows version of pwnage tool? Are Windows users being punished or is this just a name thing... Red yellow ultra sn0w? Thanks

Someone above mentioned that jailbreaking permitted tethering (or some means of sharing a 3G connection with a laptop) by means other than official tethering (the thing you turn on and off in Settings if you are on a carrier that supports it, or installed the carrier profile hack for AT&T).
Is that true, and if so, could you give a pointer to it? Right now I have stayed at 3.0.1, not wanting to lose tethering, but would eventually want to upgrade as more apps are saying "3.1 only".

Here's a complete tutorial on how to jailbreak iPhone 3GS 3.1 firmware using Pwnage 3.1.3 for Mac! http://retwt.me/w9Tv

"Once you go JB you never go back". What bullsh*t ! Read other blogs around the net. More and more ex JBers out there everyday. They're tired of the repeated headaches after each Apple update. It's a phase many tech junkies go through. Not that I care whether anyone does it or not, but it seems like a lot of tinkering to enjoy an already great phone. There are many other phones that invite open development, why not use them instead? Just saying techies, so chill.

oooook. now that I've re-jailbroken my phone from 3.0 to 3.1, ALL THE EXTENSIONS ARE BROKEN. i'm stuck in safe mode unless i uninstall all the underlying crap.

Hey thanks Justin
I guess that still requires itunes with an active internet connection.....right?

hey likito
Um you could try restoring to the OS 3.0 software again
Just search up iPhone firmwares on Google and download the 3.0.1 OS firmware and put your iPhone in Recovery or DFU Mode and Hold Shift plus click on Restore and navigate it to the OS 3.0.1 software and walah there you go

Just hope that the unlock is released soon as I will be using my iPhone 3Gs overseas... alot
I don't like AT&Ts data plan prices too expensive
So OS 3.1 is awesome but not worth to lose the jailbreak and unlock over

I had an unlocked/Jailbroken Iphone 3GS 3.0 fw which has now bricked. It cannot be restored via itunes and the only option is to restore and update to 3.1 fw which I have declined to do. I wonder if the new pwnage tool will work for me if I upgrade to the 3.1 fw via itunes. What options do I have please?
Thanks in advance!

hey do you guys know if i restore from backup or set up as a new phone after i jailbreak through the new Pwnage tool?

@tlj
sorry for reading an article and sharing my opinion on it. In the future I will be sure to avoid such things. Again I am truely sorry. Thanks

@jailbreaker
I never said I didn't like or approve of jailbreaking. I could actually care a less. The truth is I'm in the homestreach if training fir the NYC marathon.....and needed to distract myself with some pointless crap. Sorry.

Mac only huh?
Let's hope redsn0w follows shortly.

I don't remember doing anything to do this but when l start cydia, it says that "this device has a ECID SHSH on file"
what does that mean and what did I do to get that put on file. I don't remember being prompted, etc. Was it automatic?

Hold on hold on, who was FIRST?!?!?

Also, just to clear up some confusion, the pwnagetool released today will only work with previously jailbroken iPhones or those that had their 3.0 files backed up with Cydia. If you upgraded to 3.1 without ever having jailbroken in the past or had 3.1 pre-installed when you purchased your iPhone 3GS, you will not be able to jailbreak at this time. By the way, for those unsure, Pwnagetool is for MAC ONLY. If you use Windows, first of all good for you for choosing the superior OS (it's a joke, no need to take up arms, mac users), but you will have to wait for Gr33npois0n, redsn0w, or whatever they decide to call the Windows release this time around.

@ therealtruth. It is going out of your way to read about and respond to a topic you don't like if it's me I don't waste my time with things I don't like or don't plan to use. I definatly would not comment about a subject that the form is about negativly. The real truth is that you have no life and enjoy posting things like you did where you did becasue you want to get into a "argument" about it. That's what you do with your time that's what you like. Otherwise save your reply and antijailbreaking comments for a antijailbreaking form.

@therealtruth. Jailbreaker, although not very eloquent about it, was right. Between the guy who wants to get the most out of the phone he/she worked hard to pay for and the guy who comments on a pro-jailbreaking article condemning the topic at hand, who really has too much free time? Sure, there's more "fruitful" things the jailbreaking community could be doing but unless you were typing while standing, you had to waste time and sit on your ass like everyone else in order to comment to begin with. Nobody's productive 24/7 and no one should be expected to be.

hi ,
what about the third generation ipod touch which i received 2 weeks ago with 3.1 , will i be able to jailbreak it ?

SIXTY-SEVENTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if i used purple rain to jailbreak my 3gs on 3.0 and stored my ecid ob sauriks server and i am now on 3.1 i just jailbreak via the update pwbage ? Any help is appreciated ?

what about jailbreaking 3g with WINDOWS?? whats going on with that?

@TBD
Point well taken.

@jailbreaker
sorry i didn't reply sooner. i just got back from a 10 mile run.....anyway how long does it take you to read a little paragraph and post a couple of words in your spare time? is it really going out of your way? i mean if jailbreaking is what you like to spend your time doing.....fine, i just think there's more fruitful things one can be doing with their time instead of sitting around on their fat (not everyone) asses......

No iphone3gsnewbie! Stay away from that iphoneunlocker.com etc junk on the net. Everyone that has bought it so far reports that it is repackaged redsn0w software. It will not jailbreak or unlock your 3.1 3gs.

@Reems
Awesome post thanks for the link to the official dev-team site. I love those guys. but the message outta go out. if you have an official version of OS3.1 from apple No tethering EVER.....

Is it highly unlikely that after an inadvertant update on an unbroken 3gs to the latest firmware that I will ever have the phone unbroken ever again....or am I simply stuck with a very expensive equivilent of an iPod touch. I don't understand what the baseband is but I'm getting the feeling that I've made a terminal mistake as far as ever using this phone As a phone ever again goes. Any help?

It's official... http://bit.ly/10MujG

Hi there I'm a newbie on the iPhone. I recently bought an iPhone 3G S 16gb with software 3. I've been searching around and I can't find an effective way to unlock it..
Will the dev-team release an unlocking aoftware soon? =) And I was thinking of purchasing some unlocking software on the net. Do you think it will work? Thanks for any info guys! =D

@ therealtruth. It sounds like you are the loser with to much time on your hands becasue we like jailbreaking and you have plenty of time to go out of your way to come on a pro jailbreaking form and try to rag on the very topic we are discussing. Get a life and find a better way to use your time like jailbreaking :)

I have jailbroken my 3g after 3.1 itunes update but cant unlock will this be possible with the new software? Thx =.)

I will say it again ( for all the Brain dead) AT&T does not want any of you or anyone for that matter tethering on their network and having all sorts of computer users tieing up their network so 3.1 upgrade has KILLED TETHERING DEAD. No amount of hacks or jailbreaking is gonna fix that. If you just wanna use your phone for other useless apps jailbreaking is fine. But NOTHING will bring tethering back.

Also for @therealtruth, Jailbreaking is for the more technology inclined, poweruser and so forth. It opens up the platform, and yes it's a platform, for all sorts of tinkering. Sure, you can just use your touchscreen 'mini computer' that you paid a bunch of money for to make calls and listen to music. Apple hit the spot with this thing! Not only does it satisfy casual users who know nothing about tech and just want a cool convergence device, it satisfies the hardcore hackers and devs. That's why we JB! Once you go JB you never go back :)

Does anyone know what the new baseband offers by way of features, stability, etc... that the old doesn't?
Also will the custom IPSW disable 'tethering' that was enabled with just side-installing/ hacking the AT&T new firmware to get MMS?
thx

Jailbreaking is not worth the chance of adding to it (added by Mobile using Mippin)

So if my 3.1 ECID SHSH was saved with cydia, will I be able to jb once new pwnage is out? Or is it for 3.0 ecid shsh files only? Pls let me know. Thx

not exactly true if y our on 3.0 and you wanna update to 3.1 while preserving the base band hit me up liontamer34 on aim

So half the crowd says no to the JB only on 3gs 3.1, and half say yes ... I don't mind waiting .... Just wanna know if I'm waiting fr nothing

I don't understand how you people just ASSUME that 3.1 3gs's are jailbreakable! If you guys actually read the twitter remarks for dev team members mainly MuscleNerd and cpich3g you'd know that this is only jailbreakable for people who are already on 3.0jb or had thier info saved on sauriks servers! for OTB 3gs owners, and people who didn't save thier stuff through cydia (so it should be quite a lot since the phone is still quite new). So just like the downgrade, its gonna be a select few who will be able to JB, the rest of us are stuck waiting on the either them or chronic to come out with some kinda solution, which should be significantly longer

Therealtruth
"Sorry but in most cases jailbreaking is for losers with too much time on their hands".
better to have time , than no time at all.

Please see below about what you will be able to do with your phone:

1. iPhone 2G (any size) all Firmware - jailbreak and unlock
2. iPhone 3G (any size) Firmware 3.0.1 and below - jailbreak and unlock (with PwnageTool created .ipsw for 3.1 upgrade)
3. iPhone 3G (any size) Firmware 3.1 - jailbreak
4. iPhone 3Gs (any size) Firmware 3.0.1 and below - jailbreak and unlock
5. iPhone 3Gs (any size) Firmware 3.1 - jailbreak

Sorry but in most cases jailbreaking is for losers with too much time on their hands.

LoL. Shut him didn't you Tvo??? LoL.

If I jailbreak, will I still be able to download apps from the apps store and will winterboard themes crash my 3GS?
Also, does it affect my battery life if I run these custom themes and other features to run in the background and if I decide to send it to apple, will they accept it if I restore it on iTunes back to factory settings?

@NWcrusier, obviously you're a noobie to jailbreaking cuz if you weren't, then you would know that there are apps that allow you to achieve the same thing as the iPhone internet tethering. Plz don't try and rain on others parade without knowing what is completely available through the power of jailbreaking =). Been using my phone as a internet source with my laptop since firmware 2.2 on my old 3g (have 3gs now).

Tucker
Yes!

people on these posts here are getting all excited over bullSh*t..
What the hell good is jailbreaking for anyway. The most important thing on this phone or on any of these GSM phones for that matter is tethering and all these so called updates/hacks dont allow you to go back to tethering (in the US)
all the rest of it is crap

I just wanna jailbreak my 3gs on 3.1 ... I don't need it unlocked ... My iPhone is a 16 gb 3gs 3.1 OTB ... Will I be able to jailbreak with the new tools

Uh...how about now?

if i update my 3gs to 3.1, can i unlock it?

So...um.....is the jailbreak out yet?

Currently have jailbroken 3.0 on a 3G iphone (not GS). I use Windows. Want to get 3.1, but not lose unlock -- so I've held off. Will this new jailbreak let me do that so I don't have to use official Apple update and, by preserving the baseband, keep the ultrasn)w carrier unlock? In other words, is this ONLY for the 3Gs, or 3G as well. (Last I saw the 3.1 jailbreak was only for those with Macs.)

Thanx

Ok here you go guys. Another stupid question. I have the 3gs and updated to 3.1, I just want to jailbreak, so what program should I use? Also when will that program be out?

Clearly the second poster was jealous that he missed firsties. Clearly.

Stasplaya44:
I believe it will be another release of redsn0w.
Pwnagetool is only for unlocking.
If you have 3.1 you will be able to JAILBREAK.
If you depend on pwnage for cellular service (you're unlocked for another carrier) you cannot upgrade to Apple's 3.1 ever. You'll lose your unlock for-ev-er (gotta love the Sandlot).
If you upgraded to 3.1 from Apple you will be able to jailbreak with the new release. Again, no unlock.
That's the info I've gotten/read/interpreted anyway.

Another noob question. I have a 3gs with the 3.1. I was one of the unlucky ones for which the 3.1 upgrade caused major batter problems. Will this allow a rollback to 3.0.1? Assuming I can download some working version of 3.0.1 somewhere. Thanks for any info.

thank you very much for news

Just got my iPhone yesterday.. 3GS 3.1. Can't wait so we can jailbreak our phones :D Currently with ATT, don't mind them so unlocking I'm not too worried about.

Luckily 3.1 doesn't seem to have that many must have features. Security fixes are nice, and I am looking forward to app management via itunes, but the temporary hold on jailbroken 3.0.1 has been pretty painless.

coolllllll. been waiting for a while now jailbreak is back..thanks for the info

@jailbreaker
i have a 3GS 16gig with 3.0.1 fw if that helps at all

@jimmyjohn no you don't have to use the same tool not sure which phone you have so that's all I can tell you.

I just bought a new 3gs. It came with 3.1 firmware. Will this be able to be unlocked/jail-broken as well?

hey all im kind of new to the whole jailbreak thing and i was wondering if its okay to use different tools to jailbreak. for example, i have already jailbroken my iphone using redsnow a while back, so it is okay to use pwnagetool now or do i have to wait until there is a newer version of redsnow? sorry if this question is really dumb!

I've been following the comments on the dev team blog,musclenerd and cpich3g's twitters It seems for OTB 3.1 like me and people that didn't save their stuff on sauriks server before upgrade to 3.1, will not be eligible for the update, so that still leaves a lot of us that bought the 3gs later on out in the cold. which sucks, as of right now it seems the only option is to wait for greenpois0n.

Can't wait to get adblock, backgrounder and winterboard back.

@thundr: Nobody said you would not be able to jailbreak. There is a big difference between jailbreaking and unlocking. Jailbreaking is allowing your device to use 3rd party software and allowing software to break free of it's bounds and have more access. Unlocking is removing the lock the ties you to AT&T as the carrier. Many people unlock their iPhones and use tmobile service. I've met a surprising amount that do this.
If you are with AT&T then you don't need to unlock. According to the article, the new software will let you jailbreak, but the new baseband will prevent unlocking.

I too just want to Jailbreak, so can I not worry about stuff?

Does this mean that if you upgraded to the official 3.1 on you 3GS (never Jailbroke), you will be able to Jailbreak, just not unlock yet? I'm with AT&T and don't plan to change carrier. I just want to Jailbreak!

@iPhone milk
No way!? Really?! Were you first? That way cool man. I would have had no idea seeing that your entry was FIRST! Thanks for that exciting news.
