“PwnageTool screen about to get a lot more crowded again due to limera1n exploit,” reads the latest tweet from Musclenerd. He links to a screenshot uploaded via via Tweetpic, adding, in bracketts: “unlockers win most.”
As shown in the screenshot below (click to enlarge), PwnageTool is set to support all devices that support iOS 4.
Since first-generation iPhones and iPod touches have been left at iOS 3.1.3, they will no longer appear as supported in any upcoming PwnageTool iterations.
To our knowledge, version 3.1.5 of the hack tool is the latest version that supports the original iPhone and iPod touch.
There are already a couple of reliable jailbreak tools for iOS 4.1, while Apple is gearing up to ship at least one iOS software update this month (addressing an alarm clock bug and perhaps other issues), which should patch current exploits.
That’s where PwnageTool comes in and saves the day with a precious bootrom exploit.
The PwnageTool release is likely to occur after Apple rolls out its forthcoming iOS 4.1.1 or iOS 4.2 update (whichever the company decides to launch).
For the time being, Limera1n and Greenpois0n are at jailbreakers’ disposal. The tools have been updated to support both Mac OS X and Windows, while Chronic’s Greenpois0n in particular also supports Linux.
