iPhone Dev-Team Releases Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1

The iPhone Dev-Team has released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1. The jailbreak implements the untether developed by i0n1c.

The 4.3.1 untether exploit comes courtesy of Stefan Esser (@i0n1c on twitter), a security researcher based in Germany. Stefan has a long history of vulnerability research, and ironically his first contribution to the iPhone jailbreak community was improved security — last year he beat Apple to the punch and implemented ASLR for jailbroken iPhones with his "antid0te" framework. We're happy to see that Stefan then turned his iPhone attention over to an untethered jailbreak exploit!

Supported devices are the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G, iPad 1 and Apple TV 2. The iPad 2 is not supported as of yet.


You can download either RedSn0w or PwnageTool to perform the jailbreak. Download links can be found here:
● RedSn0w (Windows, Mac)
● PwnageTool (Mac)

We will be posting more tutorials on how to perform the jailbreak momentarily.

RedSn0w Tutorials:
● iPhone 4 (Windows, Mac)
● iPhone 3GS (Windows, Mac)
● iPod Touch 4G (Windows, Mac)
● iPod Touch 3G (Windows, Mac)
● iPad 1 (Windows, Mac)

PwnageTool Tutorials:
● iPhone 4 (Mac)
● iPhone 3GS (Mac)


IMPORTANT: Ultrasn0w users don't update yet! The iPhone Dev-Team still needs to release an update to ultrasn0w for the 4.3.1 firmware.

We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w. And remember once we do fix ultrasn0w for 4.3.1 (we'll announce it here and on twitter), you must only get there via a custom IPSW from PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze or xpwn! Don't ever try to restore or update to a stock IPSW, or you'll lose the unlock!

Hi There, I'm using redsnow to jailbreak my ipod touch 3g, I followed all the steps, but it always stop at the "uploading ramdisk" step, then the downloading jailbreak data disappears the ipod reboots and still isn't jailbroken while on my pc it is still uploading the ramdisk. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there, If I toggle the vibrate switch to silent mode, the iPhone is supposed to vibrate as we all know. However, since Jailbreaking, it doesn't always vibrate, and sometimes vibrates when I switch it back to the normal position, when it shouldn't. I restored the phone to pre-jailbreak and it works fine so its definitely a software related issue. Has anyone else noticed this? What could be causing it? Everything else works fine. Thanks in advance.

I noticed that too. I have the same issue. I also notice this jailbreak, or maybe it's 4.3.1, is making my phone sluggish.. have you noticed anything like that too?

It doesn't. 4.3 and 4.3.1 do don't support iPhone 3, only iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

Thank You dev team for this! and of course i0n1c :) Without the jailbreaks I would never buy the Apple products, It's like the missing part:) Im still wondering why we are not getting any information on the IPad 2 jailbreak? Is Comex going to release the IPad 2 4.3 jailbreak, it couldn't be too hard for him just to twitter saying if he will, and if it's coming soon or something like that :/

I had some troubles with Redsn0w jailbreaking.. so had to use the pwnage tool to make custom IPSW. But now my 3GS is up and running perfectly.. thanks dev-Team and everyone behind it.

I couldn't access my setting menu either, tried online for a solution with no luck so I had to restore my iPhone and forget about jailbreak.

Just JB my iphone 4 and lost Network as well. Bars are at 1. Any info?

YEah mine is the same bars at 1 always. No Carrier, phone number, no sms on 3gs

So what I basically did was restore the phone back to 4.3.1 (Itunes/Tiny) and re-jailbroke it with Redsnow. Everything works perfectly now. I get my carrier back, I can make calls, sends SMS/MMS and so on. The only "bug" that I notice is that the reception bars remain @ 1. I've noticed it doesn't affect reception what so ever, just more of a "bug" that displays 1 bar.

Restored to 4.3.1 via iTunes using TinyUmbrella to keep my baseband at 01.59.00 and then JB it using Redsn0w (repeated the whole procedure twice). Signal bar shows one bar or at times no bars at all. Turning OFF an On airplane mode, 3G and Cellular settings did not help. I did not install Ultrasn0w. I keep my baseband at 01.59.00 just in case I travel abroad and want to use my cell with different carrier.

Just updated both my iPad 1 and iPhone 3Gs to iOS 4.3.1 and jailbroke with the info provided. So far no issues Since my phone was out of space it would not let me update my OS. Even Cydia would not let me update Cydia APPs due to lack of space. I had to do a restore install of iOS 4.3.1 and reinstall all of my APPs, settings, music, photos, ex. Doing a complete restore ended up freeing about 3 gigs of space
Dogter
Dogter - April 4, 2011 at 11:12pm
I meant 2 gigs, not 3. Typing in the dark so I hit the wrong key. After restoring and doing a clean install 4.3.1, the JB went through with no issues
