Apple just started providing a pre-release version of iOS 4.0 Gold Master to developers yesterday, and it looks like today there’s already a method for jailbreaking an iPhone 3GS with Apple’s latest mobile operating system installed.
Bear in mind, Apple will be releasing the final build of iOS 4.0 later this month, so you might want to wait until then before actually installing and jailbreaking the OS on your phone. But it’s nice to know that if you want to jailbreak your phone and gain the ability to install apps that aren’t available in the iTunes App Store, odds are you’ll be able to do it on day one.
You can check out a video showing a jailbroken iOS 4.0 device after the break, and you can find instructions for jailbreaking your own phone at RedmondPie.
iOS 4 GM for iPhone 3GS Jailbroken Already with PwnageTool Bundles
Remember msft.guy? who fixed the blacksn0w unlock for iPhone 3.1.3 05.11.07 baseband? and who recently released binary which enabled blacksn0w unlock port for iPhone 3GS, on iOS 4 Beta 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4). Well the guy is back now! He has posted PwnageTool bundles for iPhone 3GS,
iOS 4 GM release which you can use to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, while preserving your baseband so that you can unlock using
ultrasn0w or
blacksn0w.
The description of the bundle, as posted by msft.guy is as follows.
3GS GM bundle.. Don’t forget to update Cydia or add OpenSSH and OpenSSL
Since I haven’t tried this bundle yet, I cant really comment on how well it works. So I will recommend you to stay away unless you are a very advanced user and know your iPhone inside out.
And since the iPhone Dev Team has already
promised to release full
jailbreak and
unlock for iOS 4 sometime this month, I will highly recommend you all to wait for the official
PwnageTool 4.0 release before messing around with your phone. Stay tuned for more updated on this space!
