As we already know iPhone Dev Team has released PwnageTool 4.3 for untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak. The tool works on iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and Apple TV 2G. Remember its not compatible with iPad 2 device. PwnageTool helps you to preserve your baseband for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS so that you can unlock it using Ultrasn0w. We are here to show you a HOW TO GUIDE.
NOTE: If your iOS device is not relying on carrier unlock, we recommend to use Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 for Windows and Mac as that was much easier for untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak. You can get that step by step guide posted here.
Remember the exploit used by iPhone Dev Team behind Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 is originally developed by Stefan Esser who is a security expert. Previously he handed over his exploit to the iPhone Dev Team. So a great thanks to Stefan Esser.
Although iOS 4.3.1 Jailbreak was already possible but that was TETHERED using Sn0wbreeze 2.4 and PwngeTool. Now this time they have released the untethered version.
PwnabeTool is for Mac users only. If you are a windows user you can use Sn0wbreeze 2.5.
