Pwnage Tool 1.0 Released

Thursday April 3, 2008 6:52 am PDT by Arnold Kim
The iPhone Dev Team has released the first version of the Pwnage Tool, now available at http://www.iphone-dev.org/.

The tool known as "Pwnage Tool" is currently a Mac OS X application that allows users to modify their iPhone's bootloader to allow it to boot any software. In its native state, the iPhone bootloader is what prevents it from booting unauthorized (non Apple) firmware.


We previously discussed this release which provides a new method for customizing your iPhone. As always, proceed with caution.

well I've got the pwnage tool, but where do I get these .ipsw files? I've searched, but maybe not enough. Can't find them. Also, will the program automatically install stuff like "installer.app"?

cant give you the link to the 2.0 iphone firmware, but head over to osx86.hu #iphone room on irc (use colloquy or another irc app) and ask for it there, someone has the link.

ok, well have you got any links for the older versions, such as 1.1.4? Thanks for your help
UPDATE I found the link to download the official firmware images from apple
Now I would like to use the additional features of the tool, but need images of the 3.9 bootloader and the 4.6 bootloader. Can't find them anywhere on the net!
