Iphone OS 3.1.3 unlocked

Old exploits remain
Mon Feb 08 2010, 15:59

UNLOCKING THE IPHONE is seemingly getting easier with the Iphone Dev-Team having cracked the latest version of the Iphone OS within five days.

Apple's latest 3.1.3 firmware for Iphones and Ipod Touch devices was cracked with relative ease according to the Dev-Team. Its release notes report that the team merely had to port the existing tools it used to jailbreak devices running version 3.1.2 of the Iphone OS. Typically the process starts with trying to find new exploits to gain entry as the previous ones used to jailbreak the device are patched by Apple. So the exploits that were used to crack the three month old 3.1.2 release still remain. Popular software unlocking tool ultrasn0w also works with the latest firmware.

The latest firmware from Apple aims to fix inaccurate battery readings that users had been getting with their 3GS devices. The Dev-Team recommends that if you haven't seen these issues then there is "no reason to upgrade", and while the use of its tools has become relatively straightforward, the majority of its release notes do a pretty good job of trying to dissuade you from using them.

The ease with which Apple's latest firmware was broken tends to suggest it is concentrating on plugging the holes for the upcoming Iphone OS 4.0 firmware. Of course a major change in version number is announced alongside a new Iphone but in the meantime the Iphone Dev-Team hackers apparently intend to continue cracking whatever Apple throws at them. µ

Upgrading

it is safe to upgrade to 3.1.2 and then unlock/jailbreak.

Use the blackra1n tool.

Avoid 3.1.3.

First gen now safe?

Hi folks. So I've put off upgrading to anything past 2.2.1 (5H11) on my first gen (2G) iPhone ( modem 04.05.04_G) --- do you think it is now 'safe' to go to at least 3.1.2 with the systems that are in place?

Currently on Pwnage Tool for jailbreak and unlock.

Thanks for input.

changing SMS tones

I wouldn't have had to jailbreak my iPhone if Apple had given me a way to use custom SMS tones. Something which has been functionality on the Sony Ericsson & Nokia phones for the last 3 years.

The selection of SMS tones are pathetic, and seriously irritating. And failing to include the functionality to use your own custom ones has basically led me to the jailbreak tools.

When will vendors learn, that if you don't give people basic, simple bits of functionality, they're going to seek people, tools, and avenues which they would prefer that they not find out about...
