All those people waiting to jailbreak and unlock their shiny new iPhone 3G S are going to be almost happy in a minute. I say almost because the Pwnage Tool is available already but that’s not Ultrasn0w folks. In fact you’d better wait for the iPhone Dev Team to actually release Ultrasn0w so you can safely unlock and jailbreak your phone.

The Pwnage Tool should be used with Mac OS X and it will only jailbreak your phone for now. QuickPwn is going to be available soon but not exact dates have been given.

Well, well, it looks like Apple is striking back. The Mac OS update will disable the Pwnage Tool which will make it impossible for you to jailbreak the iPhone or iPod touch.

Mac OS X 10.5.6 was just releases and one of its functions, no matter if it’s intentional or not is to stop your Mac from recognizing the device in DFU (device firmware update) mode. What you can do is copy some of the 10.5.5 framework files over the new ones or wait for the iPhone Dev Team to find another way around it. You can always jailbreak your phone on a PC.

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…
