It took the iPhone Dev Tream only a couple of days to break the new iPhone 2.2 firmware but I guess they have gotten used to doing that already. You can get your version today. Go for QuickPwn if you have a Windows PC or choose the new Pwnage Tool for Macs.

The iPhone Dev Team said they did break the beta 2.2 which means breaking the final version must have been a walk in the park. As always make sure you know what you’re doing when jailbreaking your iPhone and back up everything that needs to be backed up first.

3G Baseband Tool from iphonedev on Vimeo.
The iPhone Dev Team is closer to unlocking the iPhone 3G. They have cracked the baseband which means the unlock we always wished for it’s coming.

Unfortunately we can’t say when the full unlock will arrive. The baseband will give you control of the phone’s telecomm via hacked code. A small step for iPhone Dev Team, a big step for all those people that want an unlocked device.

It looks like everyone Pwns today. iTunes 8 has a new protection layer against iPhone Dev Team and their Pwnage Tool. This new layer will make your iPhone or iPod touch invisible in iTunes. Think Apple has won the battle?

Well guess again, the iPhone Dev Team has patches ready for the new iTunes 8. A patch for Mac iTunes 8 for iPod touch is already done and more support is expected to arrive next week. That means you can still access your iTunes 8 from your jailbroken phone.

The iPhone Dev Team does it again. We’ve seen the PwnageTool for jailbreaking the 2.0.2 iPhone firmware for Mac users the other day and now they have released the WinPwn 2.56 for the same 2.0.2 firmware.

It doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the iPhone Dev Team has already launched version 2.0.3 of their PwnageTool. It was a necessary update following Apple’s 2.0.2 firmware update.

Version 2.0.3 brings you support for iPhone and iPod touch firmware 2.0.2 5C1, an updated version of Installer.app beta 6 and a new localization for German speaking users.

Well go on now, jailbreak your phone now. It’s safe!

After releasing jailbreaking software for both the Apple and Windows platforms it appears that the iPhone Dev Team is working on a faster software to jailbreak your phone called QuickPwn. With Pwnage Tool you would be required to perform a full Restore on your iPhone before getting access to its file system. And since Apple is rolling out firmware updates, the Dev Team will have to keep up and roll corresponding jailbreak solutions if required.

Just a few days after Apple rolled out their iPhone Software update 2.0.1, the iPhone Dev Team has released their Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 today. The new Pwnage Tool will do the same thing as its predecessors. It will jailbreak iPhone’s software in a minute. Well actually not that fast but still just as good.

The only difference this time is that the iPhone Dev Team is advising against upgrading to firmware 2.0.1 if you want to unlock the iPhone with a future Pwnage Tool version.

Or what you could do is upgrade, jailbreak and unlock with a SIM unlocking card which we showed you earlier this week. If those SIM hacks work that is…

As we heard yesterday evening, the Pwnage Tool 2.0 was released today. Were you waiting for iPhone Dev Team to finish it? Well they have semi-finished it. The Pwnage Tool 2.0 will definitely jailbreak your 3G iPhone. As for unlocking, the Tool will only unlock your first generation iPhone for now. iPhone Touch owners will also be able to jailbreak it and install all the non-Apple applications they want.
