The Dev Team just released the Pwnage app, which jailbreaks 2.2.1 iPhones on Macs. If you’re ever going to SIM unlock your phone in the future (use it on another network), use this, not QuickPwn.
As expected, it didn’t take long for the QuickPwn team to jailbreak the iPhone 2.2.1 firmware. QuickPwn is available now for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. [QuickPwn via Lifehacker]
We brought you a pic of the Dev Team’s iPod touch 2g “redsn0w” jailbreak yesterday, and just as the team promised, a video proving the hack works was up and ready for viewing today.
The 2nd generation iPod touch proved a tricky customer to break, but the Dev Team has made the first big step toward a full-on jailbreak.
Most of the problems with yellowsn0w–the free iPhone 3G unlock program–have been worked out. I have Yellowsn0w 0.9.6 installed and it works like a charm, no problems whatsoever. Other people report the same. [Gizmodo Coverage]
The iPhone Dev Team has updated yellowsn0w, the iPhone 3G software unlock program, to version 0.9.4. It’s still a beta, but it has worked for me after some fiddling. Using Vodafone now. [Gizmodo coverage]
The international team of code-monkeying playboys known as the iPhone Dev Team gave a talk at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin recently, where they presented a comprehensive history of iPhone hacking to date.
