The iPhone Dev team has announced the release of PwnageTool 4.1 for Mac OS X which will let users jailbreak and unlock their iPhone and at the same time also let them update their iPhone with a version of iOS 4.1 firmware that was on the device before the jailbreak. This preseves the baseband so that the phone can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.
A big addition to to the Jailbreak family is AppleTV 2G. According to the Dev Team, the Pwnage Tool uses a combination of the geohot limera1n exploit , comex’s pf exploit, and the dev teams own pwnage2 exploit.
PwnageTool 4.1 works on these devices at firmware 4.1:
- AppleTV 2G
- iPad (firmware 3.2.2)
- iPod touch 4G
- iPod touch 3G
- iPhone4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 3G
As mentioned earlier, PwnageTool allows you to restore to a custom IPSW file which means you can restore to a pre-jailbroken firmware while simultaneously maintaining your current baseband (and thus your ultrasn0w carrier unlock). iPhone 3G users also get the benefit of selecting their own boot and recovery logos, and features like multitasking and battery charge percentage.
Here’s what the Dev team had to say to Apple TV owners
AppleTV 2G users: Welcome to the JB family! Right now, about all you can do is command-line stuff via ssh. You also have afc2 available, so you can use tools like ifunbox to move files around. These are the *very* early days of AppleTV 2G jailbreaking, so it’ll take some time for JB app developers to come up with methods to use your AppleTV 2G from the remote, versus the command line. PS: Your ssh password is “alpine”…please change it when you can 🙂

Before you tread this path, let us remind you that you’re doing this at your own risk. Ensure you have backed up your iDevices before the jailbreak. Good Luck!
