Apple is now shipping the iPhone 3GS with a new Bootrom that is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.

The iBoot-359.3.2 started to ship last week. A screenshot posted by Mathieulh shows the new version number.

MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has confirmed that the loss of the 24kpwn exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.

oh oh, from what @cpich3g + @Mathieulh have found so far, a normal untethered JB may be in jeopardy in brand new 3GS units

For the time being we would suggest locating old stock or refurbished units. Hopefully, the dev teams will be able to find another exploit for the new bootrom.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released PwnageTool 3.1.4 with support for iPhone OS 3.1.2.

Summary:
* The iPhone 3GS is now supported out of the box in PwnageTool 3.1.4 (or if you have upgraded to 3.1.x in iTunes)
* The iPod 2G is still supported in PwnageTool 3.1.4 but you must already be jailbroken (we’ll update this if there’s a big demand from non-jailbroken ipt2G owners)
* The iPod touch 3G is NOT supported

You can download PwnageTool 3.1.4 FROM HERE. We will be updating our tutorials for the new version soon.

GeoHot’s back to the office and has published two new and interesting Tweets. Both concern blackra1n, and particularly to informed us of all the things that are missing and all devices that is now supported. Let’s see what’s missing:

• Support iPod Touch 3G;
• Hacktivation (for iPhone EDGE iPhone 3G/3GS in Italy or abroad);
• The resolution of a bug on kernelcache;
• Finalization of the final

For the last 2 days… this is what blackra1n supports:

• The iPhone 2G (for use with AT & T in America);
• The iPod Touch 1G;
• The iPhone 3G;
• The iPod Touch 2G;
• Switch to iTunesmobiledevice
• Blackra1n Application for iPhone (able to download Cydia)
• Stability

Please get on the 3GS That’s what I’m looking for.

Note: The list is not the iPhone but in many 3GS Tweet GeoHot said bladra1n the support that the native firmware 3.1 is vulnerable and that his hack works on 3.1.2 so it is fairly secure and under understood.

Update 1: The Chronic DevTeam asked if the GeoHot Jailbreak iPod Touch 3G will be of tethered or untethered and he said that for now this is the second method because his little problem with a library is not yet resolved.

Update 2: As I told you, GeoHot specify the blackra1n also supports the iPhone 3GS:

Update 3: GeoHot Has Dropped Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Support as it is not vulnerable

Rest in peace, iPhone 3.1. It was just last month that the most recent iPhone update hit the streets and already it’s been superseded by the younger, faster, better-looking iPhone 3.1.2 that Apple released on Thursday. Whither iPhone 3.1.1? I’m afraid we may never know.

iPhone 3.1.2 appears to be focused mainly on providing bug fixes for a few problems introduced in iPhone 3.1. Apple specifically calls out a problem where iPhones may not wake from sleep—it remains to be seen if this is the issue that some users had dubbed “coma mode”. Read more…

Operation is very simple, in fact, after you install the application, just open the program and decide between three options:

• Drive + iTunes, that will enable the iPhone as a hard drive from the PC / Mac or from iTunes;
• Default: the iPhone will be detected only on iTunes;
• Drive Only: the iPhone will be detected only as a USB mass storage.

To ensure that the iPhone is detected as a hard disk, you must create a virtual disk. Simply click on “Create Disk …” and then choose the name and size to associate with the virtual disk. The directory of the virtual disk will be located in / var / Volumes /.

Caution: We recommend not installing this application on iPhone 3GS. Being a beta software might cause problems and prevent the recognition in bringing iTunes to restore firmware, as you know the iphone 3g is a luxury that not everyone can afford to mess up as some people don’t have ecid’s saved.

You can download USB Drive from this repository: http:// apt.dmytro.me. Beta 2 expires on 1 November.
