Jailbreak iPhone on iOS 4.3 with Sn0wbreeze 2.3b1 jailbreak tool for Windows

We are very glad to announce the first jailbreak for the new iOS 4.3 firmware. It was developed by famous developer known as iH8sn0w. This jailbreak is still a beta version due to some issues. We hope an official jailbreak will be available quite soon.

This new Sn0wbreeze version 2.3b1 works on Windows PC and enables users to jailbreak their devices running on the new iOS 4.3 firmware version. This software tool will work with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 iPod Touch and the original iPad. Same as Pwnage tool which works only on Mac, this jailbreak is tethered. Basically this means that whenever you reboot your iPhone you need to boot it with your computer. Please note: there is no carrier unlock for the iOS 4.3 at this moment so if you care about the carrier unlock please don’t upgrade to iOS 4.3.

iPad 2 iOS 4.3 jailbreak saga continues

Finally we see some real results by the jailbreak developer community. Here is a picture of a jailbroken iPad2 posted by a jailbreak developer chpwn to his Twitter feed where he gives credit to another jailbreaker @comex. The picture clearly shows an iPad 2 so it by necessity runs iOS 4.3

As we wrote previously yet another jailbreaker know as @i0n1c has some kind of a jailbreak for 4.3 firmware but he is still working on some kernel issues before it is ready for public use. Nobody doesn’t know will comex release his jailbreak before or after i0n1c releases his own version. It is also not known will this new jailbreak work for for other iDevices like the iPhone 4 or also on other Apple products. Will it be tethered or untethered?

Any way lets get back to the problem.

iPhone 4 unlock not working yet with the UltraSn0w on iOS 4.2.1 and 4.3

Two months ago there were some reports that the Dev team will release an unlock for the iPhone 4 following the release of the 4.3 iOS for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

So if you have focused your hope for the unlock only on this rumor we will have to disappoint you at this moment. The most recent version of the unlocking tool, the UltraSn0w unlock version 1.3 wont work for the iOS 4.3 on your iPhone nor will it work if you have an iPhone 4 with the 4.2.1 if the iPhone baseband version is 02.10.04 or 3.10.01.
