To our very faithful jailbreakers slash readers, we didn’t forget about you. As a matter of fact, I’m here to report that a couple days ago, the iPhone Dev-Team has released an update to RedSn0w and PwnageTool to provide untethered jailbreak!
The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2:
- iPhone3GS
- iPhone4 (GSM)
- iPod touch 3G
- iPod touch 4G
- iPad1
- AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)
“The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.”
Warning For Ultrasn0w Users:
ultrasn0w users don’t update yet! We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w. And remember once we do fix ultrasn0w for 4.3.1 (we’ll announce it here and on twitter), you must only get there via a custom IPSW from PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze or xpwn! Don’t ever try to restore or update to a stock IPSW, or you’ll lose the unlock!
I believe one of our readers emailed us that he was successfully able to jailbreak with ease. However, if you’ve never jailbroke before, I suggest you do some required reading before proceeding. You don’t want to get stuck in an endless loop of springboards.
