Apple already released the iOS 4.3.2 and iOS 4.2.7 with numerous improvement and bugs fixes and it was intended to fix the new iPad 2 3G connectivity issues and FaceTime video chat. This is good news for iPad 2 users. But if you are an iOS jailbreaker, then you will be glad to know that the recently released iOS 4.3.2 was jailbroken using the iPhone Dev Team’s
PwnageTool (for Mac OS X) and Redsn0w (for Mac OS X and Windows) for iOS 4.3.1.If using Redsn0w, all you have to do is to point it to iOS 4.3.1 instead of iOS 4.3.2. PwnageTool can also be used to cook custom iOS 4.3.2 firmware file. However, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has just announced via Twitter that the untethered jailbreak exploit developed by the German iPhone hacker Stefan Esser is not working on the iOS 4.3.2 (Apple fix the untethered jailbreak exploit used to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1). Meaning, this is just a tethered jailbreak only and iPhone 3GS with older bootrom will only get untethered jailbreak. So, if you want to
jailbreak iOS 4.3.2, then you should wait for the updated jailbreak tool form the Dev Team and Sn0wbreeze, or other iPhone hackers.
Here’s what MuscleNerd said regarding the
Jailbreaking iPhone 4.3.2:
last week’s redsn0w can JB 4.3.2 (if you point it at 4.3.1 IPSW) but that’s a tethered JB (doesn’t imply anything about @i0n1c’s untether)
Additionally, MuscleNerd has also warned iPhone users who rely on Ultrasn0w carrier unlock to STAY AWAY from iOS 4.3.2 or they might lose the ability to unlock their device form Apple’s contracted mobile phone carrier:
ultrasn0w unlockers stay away from today’s iOS 4.3.2! Everyone else, make sure you have your 4.3.1 SHSH blobs saved.
Stay tuned for more iPhone jailbreak and unlock news!
