Pwnage Tool 3.1.4 is out

I have used blackra1n on the 3G and 3Gs. modem firmware 5.11.07, both devices have carrier logo.
No need for unlocking.
 
I recently got my iphone 3gs are there any step by step instructions on how to install this? I just don't want to mess anything up. Thx.
 
I used Pwnage to upgrade my 3GS from the 3.0jb to the 3.0.1jb. I'm planning to use pwnage to upgrade to 3.1.2 now as well but I have a couple of questions. I understand that by using pwnage the baseband is not upgraded and the ability to unlock is preserved; however, what if I don't care about a future unlock? What (if anything) am I losing by not upgrading my baseband? There must be a reason that the baseband changes when you upgrade to the official 3.1.2 via iTunes, right? What is that reason?

make sure you uncheck activate phone if you have an official carrier, like AT&T for the US. Otherwise you will get no service when you put on your firmware as the phone needs to activate via itunes if its for an official carrier.
 
I just downloaded pawnage tool 3.1.4. I have a 3gs never jailbroken. I have read a couple of guides, I have att&t and don't care about an unlock. Just had a question on what to do if I don't care about the unlock? I just uncheck activate?
 
I have to ask again -

Is there any downside to upgrading the baseband if I have no intention of unlocking the phone? Just jailbreaking?

Is there some upside to upgrading the baseband? Like better reception? Fewer dropped calls?

Thanks.

No and not that I know of. If you dont plan on ever unlocking then upgrading the BB means nothing to you.
 
has 3.1.2 fix most of the issues (coma, battery drainage) others have been claiming since 3.1? does most of the cydia app work in 3.1?

only ones i care about is backgrounder, kirake, weather icon, five icon dock, battery control, privacy, sbsettings, make it mine, reflective dock, statusnotifier, unrestrictor3g?

I can confirm those work because I use them. Im sure everything else does too.

How does one go about upgrading the baseband without updating to the official 3.1.2 update via iTunes? In other words, if we want to use pwnage to update from 3.0.1jb to 3.1.2jb, is there a way to upgrade the baseband as well?

I think you would just use the standard Apple update in iTunes - and then jailbreak the phone...

Meh its only a logo. AFAIK the cause is using the wrong baseband with the firmware. Blackra1n users report the logo is back.

I remember from the limited time I had 3.1 on my phone that it's not just the logo :p constantly getting error messages saying lost connection to network and not able to establish a data connection.

I think I will stay with 3.0.1 till they can crack the latest baseband

I never had that.

By staying on 3.0.1 you are using the same baseband as the rest of us on 3.2.1, so I'm not sure what advantage you are gaining.
 
I just built my first custom ipsw on gf's mb pro. I've always used windows tools to jailbreak, but thought I'd try building my own...

Question: On one of the last screens, it asks if this iphone has been pwned before. I checked "No" and then built the ipsw. Is this okay even though my phone is pwned? iClarified said if you're not sure, check no, so I'm assuming it really doesnt make a difference. Right??

Update: Answered my own question. Did the jailbreak, went perfectly. JB in just under 10 minutes and now I'm reloading my apps.
