PwnageTool 3.1.3 available

dev team is still working on the att carrier logo...we had the same prob when PT came out for the 3G. looks like its the same issue...and the dev-team said they know about the issue and working on it.
 
For those without the carrier logo, download FakeCarrier from Cydia and set it to say AT&T. That's what I did. A temporary solution until the Dev-Team releases a fix.
 
Maybe a little bit off topic but I think it's pretty neat how the iTunes app organization allows you to organize the jailbreak apps like Cydia, backgrounder, etc...I was not expecting to be able to see the jailbreak stuff in iTunes.

Yep, it evens changes the icons if you have a theme enabled through Winterboard.

I seem to be having a Cydia problem after 3.1 JB...Everything loads fine and Cydia opens fine but it at some point asks if I want to upgrade Cydia so I say yes and it downloads, installs, but then asks to Reload SpringBoard but it also has the circle indicating it is processing something and never stops so I can't actually reload springboard. I have waited over 15 mintues and nothing. If I reboot the phone (Power+Home) it always starts in safe mode no matter what. I have restored three times now and each with new IPSW files...anyone else having this issue?
 
For people getting the 1600 error, do not put your phone in DFU mode. Put the phone in recovery mode. It will fix the problem.

For people having problems with the carrier, I just used MIM in Cydia and added it. Quick fix, no problem.

Anyone test out if ultrasn0w works?
 
can anyone upload custom 3.1 ipsw for 3gs? I have no access to a Mac for a few days and I need to unbrick my phone :(
 
nvm, it seems that it was just downloading in the background. The install was flawless. Thanks a million coolmacguy!!!
 
Could someone please clarify this statement

"If you have a 3G, you will need to have ALREADY jailbroken the device at a previous 3.xfirmware (3.0 or 3.0.1) in order for this to work. If you have a 3G which came at or has already been upgraded to 3.1 through Apple, this release of PwnageTool (3.1.3) WILL NOT WORK."

So I have a 3G S iPhone. It WAS previously JB at both 3.0 & 3.0.1 but NOW is on 3.1 via apple official update.

My question is: Can I use this method to JB my 3.1 iPhone 3G S as I have previously JB my device on a previous 3.xfirmware

I also have my IBEC & iBSS info stored - any good to me or pointless?

I am not complaining as I know people are working dam hard to get this sorted for people and I know that I should have waited before I upgraded to 3.1. Lesson learned

Thanks for any help and comments.

Cheers

Or just turn your phone on :) If you've JB'd before, you just alt click restore in iTunes. No need to put it in DFU or recovery mode. At least there wasn't for me.
 
For those of you with an error code, try this:

Copy and paste the custom 3.1 firmware into...
user - library - itunes - iphone software updates
(remove any other updates in folder)

Then follow the steps provided by PwnageTool

I kept getting error 1600 or something. I went into my iphone software update folder and realized there was no firmware in there.

Solved the problem.

Disregard this post. I was wrong. I was getting an error because my phone was in DFU mode. I put it in recovery and it worked just fine.

To put in recovery...
Open itunes, turn off phone, hold home button for 5 seconds, plug in usb cord while holding home button, release button when itunes tells you your iphone is in recovery mode.
 
I'm actually growing to like the no-carrier-logo 'bug', it reminds me of this and kinda fits with the whole no branding theme

So is the baseband update that comes with vanilla 3.1 designed just to keep hackers out...i.e. are there no networking related feature upgrades that come with it?

This worked flawlessly for me...Just shift click & restore! Exact same thing as a normal update except for the shift click. I am now updated and still jailbroke. I must also give a big thank you to hchavarria who gave me confidence and clarified all that I did.

My iPhone is STILL my iPhone and loving the jailbreak world!!!
 
Hi,

Just updated to 3.1JB and all working well, except I don't appear to be able to get a signal for my unofficial carrier (Orange in the UK). I've had 'No Signal' on the menu bar while driving through areas I'd expect to get at least 1 bar.

Do I need to run Ultrasn0w again?

Thanks,

EDIT: Apologies, after a bit more research I have found out that I do. All good. Just need Orange to provide a decent signal in my village.

If you have a 3.0 IBEC stored on the server you can use that to downgrade to 3.0, then use redsnow to jailbreak and then update to jailbroken 3.1.

Your baseband has already been upgraded though so you won't be able to unlock for the foreseeable future.
 
I miss the good old days of iPod touch 1.0, when all that was needed to jailbreak was to visit a website from the iPod and click "jailbreak." Boom, done.
 
Once restored, do we lose all cydia apps and setup, like Winterboard, lockscreen info, i realsms etc.. do we have to redo everything from the beginning?
 
Can someone please give me a quick clarification?

I have a 3GS on AT&T that was jailbroken on 3.0 using purplera1n. I then upgraded straight to 3.1 from the jailbroken 3.0 (skipping 3.0.1). Can I go ahead and use the pwnage tool to jailbreak on 3.1, or do I need to downgrade to 3.0 first, using Saurik's method (my ECID is on file)?
