How to Jailbreak iOS 4.0 with PwnageTool – Complete Guide
We did inform you about PwnageTool bundles which were released yesterday to jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4), while preserving your baseband on the older 05.11.07 or 04.26.08 so that you can unlock it using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w. We got lots requests via twitter, facebook and email for full instructions on how to patch the existing version of PwnageTool so that it can work with iOS 4.0 GM release. And so here are the complete set of instructions for you to get it to work.
Warning / Note: Perform the following instructions at your own risk only. I am not responsible if you end up bricking or locking your phone. Only proceed if you are an advanced user, and know what you are doing. Otherwise, wait for the official tools which would be out soon.
Supported Device(s):
iPhone 3GS ONLY, with older bootrom which has at least been jailbroken once with either redsn0w, PwnageTool, Blackra1n or Sn0wbreeze. If your phone is one of those with newer bootrom, and has only been jailbroken with Spirit, this is not for you. You will end up getting 1600/1604 error when restoring the custom cooked firmware via iTunes.
What is working and what isn’t?
I have tested it and it worked for me. But since I don’t rely on an unlock, I couldn’t test the ultrasn0w or blacksn0w part. Of all the reports that I have got from various testers, I can confirm that this method will preserve your baseband, but ultrasn0w or blacksn0w unlock wont work now as they need an update for iOS 4. So if you rely on an unlock, I will suggest you stay away from this, but if you desperately want to jailbreak your device, you can do it now while preserving your baseband but you will only be able to unlock it once ultrasn0w update is released in approx. two weeks time.
Step 1: Download PwnageTool 3.1.5 from the download link given here.
Step 2: Download the latest version of PwnageTool Bundles from msft.guy here and then extract it to your desktop.
Step 3: Download iOS 4.0 for iPhone 3GS, and iTunes 9.2 Beta for Mac. You can get the official bits if you are a registered developer, or from different content sharing sites around the web. Please do not ask for the download links, a simple Google will do it all !
Step 4: Download the updated Cydia bits (data.tar file) from here.
Step 5: Copy PwnageTool that you downloaded in Step 1 to your desktop. Right click, and then click on “Show Package Contents” as shown in the screenshot below.

Step 6: Navigate to Contents\Resources\FirmwareBundles\ and paste iPhone2,1_4.0_8A293_bundle.bundle file in this location and then simply close this folder.

Step 7: Now navigate again to Contents/Resources/CustomPackages/CydiaInstaller.bundle/ and paste data.tar file (for Cydia) that you downloaded in Step 4.
Step 8: Start “Terminal” program on your Mac and run the following commands:

once you are done, close all the open windows.
Step 9: Now start this patched version of PwnageTool, Select iPhone 3GS as your device and you will now notice that PwnageTool will automatically detect iOS 4 firmware file as shown in the screenshot below.

Step 10: create a custom-cooked iOS 4 firmware file which will preserve your old baseband.
Step 11: Once the .ipsw file has been created, you will now have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 4.0 that you just cooked using PwnageTool 3.1.5 for your iPhone 3GS. Start iTunes 9.2 Beta, Click on your phone icon from the sidebar in iTunes. Now press and hold left “alt” (option) button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update” or “Check for Update”) button in the iTunes and then release this button.
This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your custom firmware 4.0. Select that custom .ipsw file and click on “Open”.
Step 12: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don’t do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 4.0 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully jailbroken iPhone 3GS running on iOS 4.0.

Redsn0w 0.9.5b5 iOS 4.0 Jailbreak Brings Multitasking, Wallpapers to iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3G
Redsn0w jailbreak tool has been updated to version 0.9.5b5 which brings full support for iPod touch 2G, along with optional support to enable multitasking and wallpapers on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4) on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G which otherwise are disabled by Apple.
Warning Note: This release is strictly meant for official activated iPhones, if you rely on an unlock, stay away from this release.

Warning Note: This release is strictly meant for official activated iPhones, if you rely on an unlock, stay away from this release.
The redsn0w beta has been updated for 4.0GM, and it now supports the iPod touch 2G too. Multitasking and homescreen wallpaper are now turned on by default (Apple doesn’t normally allow this on these 2 devices).
Because 4.0GM isn’t yet public, you’ll need a Mac and iTunes 9.2 to use it. Since this redsn0w beta is intended only for those with legitimate developer program access, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Jailbreak your iPhone 3GS Firmware 4.0 GM [Mac]
In the last post, we provided you links to download iTunes 9.2 beta and iOS 4 GM for iPhone and iTouch. If you are in a hurry to upgrade and jailbreak, there’s a trick that will allow you to use PwnageTool and create a custom firmware. Since the baseband of our iPhones was already upgraded, we can’t confirm 100% that it will preserve your baseband and that you can unlock. Use it at your own risk.
NOTE: this is not an official DevTeam release, so if you don’t know what you’re getting into, you better wait for an official iOS/jailbreak/unlock release.
You will need:
NOTE: The Cydia package that is currently in PwnageTool does not work for 4.0. The easiest way to get it working is to download the redsn0w jailbreak for beta 4 and extract Cydia from there and put it into your custom PwnageTool.
How to:
1. Download the bundle and all the tools and place them on your desktop
2. First, you will need to download the custom bundle and copy it into PwnageTool. To do that, right click on PwnageTool.app and ‘Show Package Contents’ .
Browse to Contents>Resources>Firmware Bundles> and copy thecustom bundle…
3. Right click on redsn0w.app and ‘Show Package Contents’. Browse to Contents>MacOS> . Copy Cydia.tar.gz on your desktop and extract its content.
Now you will need to copy Cydia into PwnageTool.app. To do that, right click on Pwnagetool.app and ‘Show Package Contents’. Browse to : Contents>Resources>CustomPackages> right click on ‘CydiaInstaller.bundle’ and ‘Show Package Contents’ > Files> and overwrite all the files with the ones you just extracted from redsn0w
4. That’s it. Now load PwnageTool.app and create your custom firmware. If you don’t know how, check this tutorial
5. Once you got the custom .ipsw, you will restore your iOS device via iTunes. Your iOS device must be jailbroken. Put the device in recovery mode and restore.
NOTE: this is NOT an official DevTeam release, and we cannot 100% confirm that it will preserve your baseband. Use it at your own risk…
