It seems as though the Dev Team learned something from Geohot... I think he wins this round. His jailbreak is still easier.
Blackra1n maybe easier, but a lot of stuff is going wrong with it.
Anyway, what's the point in hacking something if it's easy? There's no fun in that
BlackRa1n may be a little faster, but Pwnage tool is Mac compatible where as BlackRa1n is PC only, Pwnage tool went without a hitch, plus I still have my DiskAid support which was null in BlackRa1n, had to use SSH, which I don't have a problem with, but since I paid to use DiskAid, I might as well get my money's worth.
and its only for windows... so actually it is NOT easier
Plus pwnage preserves the ability to unlock.
agreed
Point Dev Team I respect Geo allot tons of smart but reading his twitters he struggled almost till the end. some of him twitters are damn funny and kind of silly if you read them. his priority seemed more in getting the product out as promised I think Blackra1n was abet rushed a Dev Team and Dev team and Geo still exchange info back and forth it's pretty clear in Geo Twitters and he also thanked the Dev Team for some help.

hello guys, im having some issues. I had my 3gs with 3.1.2 and tried to JB using the lastest pwnage tool and well when trying to restore the phone stays in "preparing iphone for restore" till i get an error 1604 or 1600. Any ideas. I never had my phone pwned before.
"Note for 3GS users not already jailbroken and stuck at 3.1.x: this version of PwnageTool has a side feature to jailbreak your 3GS"
What is this feature for us that are not already jailbroken?

That's the feature - it jailbreaks your phone even if it wasn't jailbroken before. The previous version of Pwnage only worked if your phone was already jailbroken.
I had a similar message, I noticed that I still had PwnageTool opened up, I closed PwnageTool and went back into iTunes and did option + click on restore and it worked without a hitch..
I am sure this is a stupid question, but with JB give me tethering somehow, or allow me to tether with some other file?
Thanks.
My iPhone 3GS is on 3.0.1 So do I update to 3.1.2 from iTunes then use the pwnage tool to JB and then collect the ECID from cydia?
hello,
I have a 3gs which I have never jb'in, I tried to jb tonight with the latest pwnage tool. I was told that I didn't need to be online. Everything went well I am going from memory, but I first was able to get into recovery mode. But I got a 1600 error when I tried to restore to the pwned 3.1.2 ipsw? Then my computer, like I said wasn't online, and iTunes was saying I needed to be connected to restore. I just got back from the library and restored to 3.1.2 non jb. Just wondering what I did wrong, I know I had tried rerunning pwnage tool but couldn't get into recovery mode. One question I have is can I just open iTunes option click restore and then restore to the custom ipsw I had created? Or should I run pwnage again and go through the process of entering recovery mode, i.e. can I just use the custom ipsw that pwnage said I created successfully? I used redsnow before, and could use some advice on a 1600 error, like should I try to redownload the firmware? Any help?
I know that a while back (i restored after 3.1 since it was elfin up, lots of glitches, unstable..) you had to use an external USB hub because there was some kind of software deal that would cause the phone to go into DFU mode. There was a work around (type some commands in terminal), but that was risky.. sorry, i forget exactly what it was, but it was for 2.x.x firmware...
I still use the external USB hub....that could be the problem..

me too. no carrier logo.
Same here, downloaded makeitmine just so I'd have the Carrier's name. Better than nothing.
so i have a 3gs from launch day which i jailbroke on 3.0. i then put on a cydia app (rotation toggle i think) that was not 3gs compatible (oops) and it effed up my phone so i had to do a full restore in itunes to unjailbrake and everything. i have not jailbroken since and my phone is now on 3.1.2. i have a mac and i would like to jailbrake only, no unlock. can someone give me instructions or tell me what is different between when i jailbroke the first time compared to now.
thanks
thanks
If you have no need to ever unlock, just use the dev teams pwnage tool, or blackra1n, to jailbreak.
Yes. Non-unlockable BB reduces the re-sale value of your iPhone by some $50-$100 bucks.
