Pwnage Tool 4.0 is Out!!

Sweet!

edit: just saw that you need the old bootrom on 3GS. I think I might have the newer one. That sucks. Either way, Dev team kicks ass!

iPhone 3GS

Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.

* If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.
* If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0

Well, guess that puts me out for the moment. I am on 3.1.3 w/ unlocked 05.12.01 baseband, but I DID use Spirit to jailbreak. Looks like us Spirit users will have to wait a little longer for 4.0.

Saw posts.. if you ONLY used Spirit to jailbreak. In the comments people were saying if you've used previous methods to jailbreak and then used Spirit for 3.1.3, you can use Pwnage 4.0.
 
I thought i had the old bootrom because blackrain gave me an untethered jailbrake. But it seems I have the new bootrom, from model number and looking in dfu mode.

I have the newer 359.3.2 bootrom, still waiting on a solution. If others want to find out what they have here are some instructions from another site that I used..

To check iPhone 3G/3GS bootrom version:

Put your iphone in DFU mode.
(Connect your iPhone to iTunes, turn off, click power+home button for 10 seconds, leave POWER button after 10 seconds, holding HOME button)

iTunes will detect your iPhone in recovery mode.

Go To:

Start->Control Panel->Device Manager

In Universal Serial BUS Controller, you will find Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

Right Click and go to Properties, go to Details tab and select "Device Instance Path" from the drop down list box.

In that information, u will find [iBoot-359.x] at the end.

Weird... so will they work? My iphone is untethered but new bootrom. Im waiting. But Not much to update for since all the new features are old features on jailbroken machines.
 
Could use some help with this as I have an odd situation going on.
Specifics: 3GS, bootrom 359.3, modem firmware 5.13.04, running 3.1.3

This is a launch-day 3GS that has been jailbroken many times and has been upgraded to 4.0 final but downgraded back to 3.1.3 (thanks to Cydia). However, this is about as far as I can get.

Jailbreaking 3.1.3 with Spirit: Works
Jailbreaking 3.1.3 with sn0wbreeze 1.5: apparently fails? It gets stuck at 'preparing iphone for restore" when using the restore file it creates
Jailbreaking 4.0 with iPhone-Dev or sn0wbreeze 1.6: Fails

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong 🙁

Don't quote me on this, but here is where I think your problem is.

The new jailbreak specifically says you cannot be JB'd from Spirit. You need to downgrade to 3.1.2 (with saved SHSH blobs on Saurik's server) and JB it w/ the proper utility. If you do not have those saved, you are likely out of luck. If you can get to 3.1.2, you can jailbreak to 4.0. 3.1.3 w/ spirit jailbreak will NOT WORK as specified in the instructions.
 
How come I need 3.1.2 when there are non-Spirit (sn0wbreeze) 3.1.3 jailbreaks out? I didn't save my keys for 3.1.2 :|

From what I've read, the newer bootrom doesn't allow the current jailbreak. Spirit is a software JB, whereas sn0wbreeze and others relied on the old bootrom to JB the phone. The newer bootrom closes this hole and doesn't allow you to JB the phone (on 4.0 at least.) In a nutshell: If you used Spirit to JB your 3.1.3 3gs, you can't use Pwnagetool to JB your phone to 4.0, unless you were previously jailbroken on an older firmware version, and you have SHSH blobs saved on file on Saurik's server.

This is all hearsay, correct me if I'm wrong.
