iPhone - Image 1The iphone-dev team promised to deliver the latest PwnageTool and QuickPwn as soon as possible, and deliver it they did. They've just recently released new versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn for iPhone users who want to upgrade to the new 2.2 firmware.

The team also posted some very important reminders along with the announcement. It doesn't matter if you're a jailbreaking vet or a newbie, we recommend reading through these first:
  • GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
  • The ‘late 2008Â’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode.  While itÂ’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you canÂ’t yet go from stock to pwned.  If in any doubt use a different machine.
  • Choosing the correct tool is crucial. Be warned!
Torrents for PwnageTool and QuickPwn are available in the source link. A lot of the info you need to jailbreak your iPhone is also there.
