Apple has just released iPhone OS 3.1.2 (7D11) for iPhone and iPod Touch users, which includes number of fixes and improvements.
iPhone Dev Team has just issued a warning to users who have jailbroken or unlocked their iPhone to avoid updating your device with the latest iPhone OS.
iPhone Dev Team have issued the following warning for iPhone users:
WARNING! At 10.20AM PDT on October 8th 2009 Apple released the 3.1.2 version (7D11) of the iPhoneOS.
If you care about your jailbreak and unlock, don’t update your device - 3G and 3G(S) owners should pay particular attention to this warning.
PwnageTool and redsn0w are not yet compatible with 3.1.2
There is no estimated release time for compatible tools (please don’t bug us about this).
iPhone Dev Team had released PwnageTool 3.1 for Mac to allow iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G users to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1 and had also recently released PwnageTool 3.1.3 to allow users who had already jailbroken their iPhone 3GS to upgrade to iPhone 3.1. PwnageTool also allowed users to preserve their iPhone’s baseband from getting updates to 05.11.07, which comes bundled with iPhone OS 3.1 so that they can unlock their iPhone.
Update 1:
It will be interesting to see if Geohot's jailbreak tool will work with iPhone OS 3.1.2.
iPhone Dev Team should ideally be able to release a new version of PwnageTool, which works with iPhone OS 3.1.2. ih8sn0w, one of the members of the Sn0wBreeze team porting PwnageTool to Windows has confirmed this via Twitter:
"Confirmed: 3.1.2 has the Same IVS/KEYS! Close one! :) EXTREMELY EASY TO UPDATE PWNAGETOOL."
Update 2:
Geohot is calling his new jailbreaking tool blackra1n. He has tweeted that iPhone OS 3.1.2 is still vulnerable and he was able to jailbreak his iPhone 3GS running iPhone OS 3.1.2.
"phew, dodged a bullet with 3.1.2...still vulnerable and blackra1n worked perfectly on my 3gs"
It looks like blackra1n won't preserve the baseband, so if you use it, you won't be able to unlock your iPhone. Thanks Dellman87 for the tip!
We’ll keep you posted if we get any update from the iPhone Dev Team or Geohot or Sn0wBreeze team.[via Dev Team’s blog]
