Avoid Thunderst0rm And TurboSn0w2. Fake Tools…

There are two tools that you need to avoid: Thunderst0rm and TurboSn0w2. They will not jailbreak your iDevices, might install spyware, and will delete several files from iTunes meaning you would possibly have to reinstall iTunes after running them. Stay away…

As most of you know, there was quite a buzz lately, around a new tool called Thunderst0rm, that was suppose to run an untethered jailbreak for firmware 3.1.3 . We had a discussion about it on Facebook and many of you asked me on Twitter about all the YouTube videos, but we didn’t write about the tool. Why? There was a reason why we didn’t mention the tool on the site: because it is fake.

If You Are Using Blackra1n For A Tethered Jailbreak, DO NOT Update Your iTunes To 9.1

if you are using blackra1n for a tethered jailbreak, DO NOT UPDATE! Everybody else can update without a problem.

[image credits: iH8sn0w]

Apple just released iTunes 9.1, and we told you that everything seems to be working just fine BUT it kills blackra1n on Windows ( Mac users: even though, the tool seems to have no problems on Mac, no need to hurry with this update ). So, basically, if you are using blackra1n for a tethered jailbreak, DO NOT UPDATE! Everybody else can update without a problem.

We got a couple of mails telling us that after the update, the jailbroken iDevices were not recognized by the new version of iTunes. If this happens to you, re-install iTunes.

iH8sn0w is working on a fix that will solve blackra1n’s issues with the new version of iTunes, allowing everybody to update. It will be available in a few hours/tomorrow. We will keep you updated. Stay tuned…

HOW TO: Create Custom Jailbreak Firmware 3.1.3 Using PwnageTool 3.1.5 [Mac]

The iPhone DevTeam just released an update for PwnageTool. With this tool you can create a custom 3.1.3 firmware, which you can use to upgrade your iDevices , and still preserve the baseband.

The iPhone DevTeam just released an update for PwnageTool. With this tool you can create a custom 3.1.3 firmware, which you can use to upgrade your iDevices , and still preserve the baseband. If you used Blacksn0w to unlock your iPhone in the past, this tool will not help you, because you already updated your baseband ( even though not to the latest version ) , and all the other unlocking tools will not work. Also, PwnageTool will not downgrade your baseband.

Just to be clear:

  • Firmware 3.1.3 updates the baseband to 05.12.01 . No tool will unlock this baseband at the moment, and you can’t downgrade either
  • Firmware 3.1.2 updated the baseband to 05.11.07 and you could unlock it using blacksn0w.
  • All other previous baseband versions are compatible with ultrasn0w.

So…

  • if in the past you used custom firmwares and your baseband is still at a version prior 05.11.07 , you can use PwnageTool 3.1.5 and unlock it with ultrasn0w.
  • If you used Blackra1n, updated the baseband to 05.11.07 and unlocked it with blacksn0w DO NOT use pwnagetool 3.1.5. It won’t work. Just stay on firmware 3.1.2
  • If you updated to firmware 3.1.3 and got the latest baseband ( 05.12.01 )… tough luck. You are stuck!!!
