How To Jailbreak iOS 4.1 iPhone 3G With PwnageTool Bundle

Posted by dkszone on September 20, 2010

Till now PwnageTool was available only for iPhone 3GS users to jailbreak iOS 4.1, iOS 4.2 and iOS 4.0.2. iPhone 3G users who earlier used redsn0w, but had to avoid it due to several issues including Cydia unfunctional, can now jailbreak their device using PwnageTool bundle.

Disclaimer: Again, this is an unofficial release, in the form of a bundle or a patch to PwnageTool 4.01. So proceed with caution, we cannot be held responsible if things go wrong.

Similar to PwnageTool for iOS 4.2 (iPhone 3GS), this one also preserves the baseband, so that you can later unlock your iPhone with Ultrasn0w. Unlike PwnageTool bundle for iPhone 3GS iOS 4.2, this one does not have any issues with Cydia.
