QuickPwn allows you to bypass Apple’s protection and install not-official programs in your iPhone and iPod touch. So what the hell is QuickPwn doing in Apple’s own web apps catalog page?
iPhone 3.0 Beta 3 users can now jailbreak your iPhone again with QuickPWN, but will probably make your phone unable to be unlocked by the iPhone Dev Team’s unlock util. Be careful. [QuickPWN via Into Mobile]
QuickPWN for Beta 3.0 is out for all devices but the Touch 2G, but it could sabotage future unlocking, says the Dev Team. And so the untelevised procedural drama that is jailbreaking continues, forever. [QuickPWN]
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]
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.
A warning for all you iPhone jailbreak enthusiasts: Apple’s newest OS software update contains quite a stink bomb–10.5.6 disables the Pwnage tool, making you unable to jailbreak or unlock your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Once again, anything Apple can make, the enterprising Dev Team can break: the brand-new firmware 2.2 has been jailbroken. QuickPwn should take care of everything, unless you’re one of those unfortunate owners of the second-generation iPod touch, in which case you’re out of luck at the moment. But everything else seems to be running fine—anybody here broken the new firmware yet? Let us know in the comments. [iPhone Dev, thanks Mehmet!]
Last weekend OSX users got their first taste of QuickPwn 2.1. Now a version is out for all the PC users in the audience. Happy hacking. [iphone-dev]
