iPhone Dev team had already hinted about iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak will be available in Redsn0w & PwnageTool. Today finally Dev team has already released Redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 to jailbreak 4.3.1 untethered and now here is PwnageTool 4.3 to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 using Custom firmware. PwnageTool can jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, 4G, iPad & Apple TV 2G.
The advantage of using PwnageTool 4.3 over Redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 is ability to preserve baseband their by use ultrasn0w to unlock iPhone 4 & iPhone 3GS. However PwnageTool is only for Mac OS X and Windows users need to wait till iH8sn0w releases updated version of Sn0wbreeze jailbreak tool for Windows.
Here is what iPhone Dev Team has to say
“The 4.3.1 untether exploit comes courtesy of Stefan Esser (@i0n1c on twitter), a security researcher based in Germany. Stefan has a long history of vulnerability research, and ironically his first contribution to the iPhone jailbreak community was improved security — last year he beat Apple to the punch and implemented ASLR for jailbroken iPhones with his “antid0te” framework. We’re happy to see that Stefan then turned his iPhone attention over to an untethered jailbreak exploit!
The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2:
- iPhone3GS
- iPhone4 (GSM)
- iPod touch 3G
- iPod touch 4G
- iPad1
- AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)
The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.”
