Jailbreaking new iPhone 3G S
Last week, I just found out about the jailbreak proof iPhone 3G S. Three friends of mine asked me to jailbreak their new phones. So, I used blackra1n. After clicking “make it ra1n” the phone went to recovery mode, and it was on recovery mode for so long (made me nervous, because I haven’t backed up their phone 
). Tried to Blackra1n it the second time, and it was ok, all the datas were still there, blackra1n app is there. But if you turn off the phone, it will go on recovery mode. So if you blackra1ned your new phone and you don’t have a backup, do not restore your phone immediately. Just blackra1n it once more and then you’ll be able to backup, then restore it.
After searching the net, I found out that this “24kpwn” thingie that is used on the latest jailbreaking softwares out there is not working with the newly manufactured iPhone 3G S. So now, I’m relying on Geohot (a brilliant hacker and the maker of the amazing 1-click jailbreaking solution, Blackra1n), waiting for him to release a new software.
Don’t buy the new 3G S yet if you’re expecting for an iPhone open to all carriers. Watch the net for some updates. If you can’t wait, buy the 3G only.
Its a tethered JB which means you need to hook it up with the PC everytime you bootup. Also I found out that the new iPod touch 8GB are also affected.
REDSN0W has been updates in addition, there is a new version called Sn0WBreeze which is just a clone of pwanage but its for windows.
Thank you for this illuminating entry. I am constantly looking for knowledge on different subjects and it’s never far away on the internet. I’ll be coming back soon.
