How To Jailbreak Your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Using PwnageTool For Mac (iOS 4.3.1)

iPhone Dev Team had released PwnageTool 4.3 few weeks back, which allows users who want to jailbreak and also unlock their iPhone to update their iPhone with a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3.1 while preserving the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.

This guide will provide iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users with step-by-step instructions to update and jailbreak their iPhone with iOS 4.3.1.

Some important points before the step-by-step instructions:

• Please note that jailbreaking your iPhone may void its warranty so proceed with caution.
• Don’t forget to backup your iPhone before you proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions on how to backup your iPhone.
• Please ensure that your iPhone has enough charge.
• This guide is only for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users.
• iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone users who don't care about unlocking or preserve their iPhone's baseband can use Redsn0w to jailbreak their iOS device on iOS 4.3.1 as it is a lot easier.
• PwnageTool is only supported on Mac OS X and is not supported on Microsoft Windows. Windows users should use Sn0wbreeze, which unofficial version of PwnageTool for Windows.
• Users who want to unlock their iPhone:
  • PwnageTool does not unlock your iPhone.
  • You can use Ultrasn0w to unlock your iPhone after you have successfully updated and jailbroken your iPhone  with iOS 4.3.1.
  • But there is a catch. Ultrasn0w 1.2.1 can only unlock the following basebands (you can check the baseband by going to Settings –> General –> About –> Modem Firmware):
    • iPhone 4 baseband - 01.59.00
    • iPhone 3GS basebands - 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and 06.15.00.
  • So if your iPhone is currently on baseband mentioned above then PwnageTool 4.3 will allow you to create a custom pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3.1 and preserve the baseband so that you can unlock your iPhone using Ultrasn0w 1.2.1.
  • If you accidentally upgraded your iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.1/iOS 4.3/ iOS 4.2.1/ iOS 4.1 then its baseband would have got upgraded to 02.10.04/ 03.10.01/ 04.10.01. Unfortunately, 02.10.04, 03.10.01, 04.10.01 basebands for iPhone 4 cannot be unlocked nor can it be downgraded currently.
  • Similarly, if you accidentally upgraded your iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.1/iOS 4.3/ iOS 4.2.1/ iOS 4.1 then its baseband would have got upgraded to 05.14.02/ 05.15.04/ 05.16.01/ 05.16.02. Unfortunately, 05.14.02, 05.15.04, 05.16.01, 05.16.02 basebands for iPhone 3GS cannot be unlocked nor can it be downgraded currently.
