Snow Leopard Does Not Break iPhone Jailbreaking & Unlocking Tools

If you're wondering whether Apple’s new OS, which was released yesterday will break jailbreaking then the goods news is that, it won’t.

The dependable iPhone Dev Team has confirmed on their blog that Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 does not break their iPhone hacking tools.

iPhone Dev Team had this to say about Apple’s latest OS:

Snow Leopard, the OS released for Mac on Friday, poses no new wrinkles for the redsn0w jailbreak or ultrsn0w unlock.

To summarize the status of our tools (all of which are available through the links at the left):

You can use redsn0w to jailbreak any iPhone or iPod Touch using OS X, Windows, or Linux. For both 3.0 and 3.0.1 firmwares, you should point redsn0w at the 3.0 IPSW. If you see it hang at “waiting for reboot”, just unplug and replug that USB cable.
You can use ultrasn0w to unlock the iPhone 3G/3GS, or BootNeuter to unlock the iPhone 2G. Both ultrasn0w and BootNeuter are available via Cydia.
You can use PwnageTool for Mac to create custom IPSWs with pre-installed packages.

If you are planning to upgrade then please note that Amazon is currently offering Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard upgrade at a discounted price of $25 only.

If you plan to try jailbreaking your iPhone after upgrading to the new OS then please drop us a line to tell us how it goes.
