This is the low down on our tools for use with the 3.0 firmware from Apple, read the whole post in full before attempting anything. Because of some bugs and unexpected changes this will be a multipart release, starting with the release of PwnageTool for Mac OS X. QuickPwn for Mac OS X and Windows will follow sometime soon, please don’t bug us about it, we are working flat out to get everything finished to release them.
- GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use PwnageTool right now. UltraSn0w is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be release via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 unlock works with this PwnageTool release.
- Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you can get it via Cydia or Icy).
- Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
- Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
- At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.0 capable version of PwnageTool.
- This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release.
- PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
- PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.
Baseband 101
The ‘baseband’ is the generic nickname given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 3.0 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband.
SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 3.0 using iTunes and then use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to jailbreak your phone.
iPhone 2G (1st Generation)
Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your newly created .ipsw ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken.
iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)
Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes.
iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)
Sorry, no support at this time within PwnageTool, use Redsn0w for an earlier (pre 3.0) firmware release instead.

June 19th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
what do you guys need just a hactivated 2g firmware
June 19th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Yay finally. Lucky I have a hackintosh nc10. Or else I would have to wait even longer for jailbreak. Just to make this clear, the pwnage tool will create a custom firmware (unlocked + jailbroke + activated) so that I can use itune to restore/update my 2g iphone. Correct? I'm thinking of restoring instead of update. but may takes time to put back all my music. sigh..
June 19th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
No you will not get the unlock yet ultrasnow is not included in this release but it will activate and jailbreak your iphone

thats cool thanks for that.. Not a att cstomer
June 20th, 2009 at 1:27 am
I don't recommend updating to 3.o if you need to have your iphone unlocked. Ultrasnow isn't out yet so you would be without a phone
June 20th, 2009 at 1:44 am
i have it unlocked via carrier already officially so i just wanted jailbreak.
June 20th, 2009 at 1:47 am
if you are officially unlocked by apple or your carrier than feel free to use the 3g firmware as it will activate your iphone without have to do the itunes activation and if your factory unlocked your set.
June 20th, 2009 at 1:49 am
so u mean use the one u posted ? Cause yeah im already on the official 3.0 obviously minus jailbreak.
June 20th, 2009 at 1:51 am

http://www.kerberos.org.ar/iphone/ slim go to that site and download the last one which should have iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Custom_Restore.ipsw that is the one your looking for no doubt
June 20th, 2009 at 5:01 am
Slight downside, went to upgrade and phone now stuck in recovery. Im @ work so i dont have my back up here, if there anyway to kick it out of recovery to bring back to normal ?
June 20th, 2009 at 5:04 am
restore to original 3.0 for now… Damn i need to find a solution, all me readers are having this prob
June 20th, 2009 at 5:09 am
ok try this, with the cable plugged in what i did was hold down power and home buttons for 15 seconds, after 15 seconds let go of home and hold power for a further 2 seconds, it kicks iphone out of recovery and back to normal. Just did it now and worked. I got this from running QuickPWN while in recovery mode, it actually has a popup explaining how to do what i said..
June 20th, 2009 at 5:11 am
ill have someone test that asap and post it up if it works.
June 20th, 2009 at 5:49 am
for sure. worked perfect for me so atleast i can do a proper restore and backup properly
June 20th, 2009 at 5:53 am
was gonna try that one but download speed from there is not doing to well for me
June 20th, 2009 at 11:07 am
thank you so much smcrack for your contribution. much appreciated. in the morning… jailbroke 3.0!! Look forward to it.
June 20th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
3g custom firmware doesnt seem to work. I tried shift restore and shift upgrade. Seems to get phone stuck in recovery mode. I am a legit att customer. Is there a sequence I should do? I tried putting phone in dfu mode etc…
June 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
it gives me error 1600 everytime
June 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Does this need to be an update from 2.2.1 ? I could revert back and try it again
June 20th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
No i've been reading up on this and people are saying that you have to make your own custom firmware because if you choose when making your custom firmware that your phone has already been jailbroken and it hasn't than you will get that error and it also goes for the other way areound saying it has but it hasn't been
June 20th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
SoSly I just read this too. My phone has been pwnd in the past. Guess this custom 3g firmware was set for never pwnd. Would be nice if they would post 2 ver for 3g and 2g. One for previously pwnd and one for not.
June 20th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
