PwnageTool for OS 3.1 On Its Way

The infamous iPhone Dev Team has posted an update on its blog confirming that the PwnageTool for 3.1 is actively being developed. An announcement should be just around the corner, going by the post over at the Dev Team blog. Softpedia does not condone jailbreaking the iPhone / iPod touch.

For now, the Dev Team has merely updated an older post saying, “If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock.” “In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware),” the warning goes.

However, the old post also revealed that, “[...] Our PwnageTool program — when it’s updated for 3.1 — will let you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware, so you can still have the best of both worlds.” “But you must be diligent about saying ‘no’ to your iTunes request this week to update your firmware,” the Dev Team said last week.

Now, the hackers have confirmed what every jailbroken user out there was waiting for: “We’re currently working on PwnageTool for 3.1, and will be sure to let you know when it’s available!,” the Dev Team’s most recent update reads.
