Apple is now shipping the iPhone 3GS with a new Bootrom that is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.
The iBoot-359.3.2 started to ship last week. A screenshot posted by Mathieulh shows the new version number.
MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has confirmed that the loss of the 24kpwn exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.
oh oh, from what @cpich3g + @Mathieulh have found so far, a normal untethered JB may be in jeopardy in brand new 3GS units
For the time being we would suggest locating old stock or refurbished units. Hopefully, the dev teams will be able to find another exploit for the new bootrom.

personally i use an android 2.3 gaxlay ace,my sister has nokia 700 symbian belle,ya what you told is right but symbian is still behind in some area like browser still sucks,also apps are lesser and good apps will take some time to come over to symbian.but i like the oval icons,and the induvidual wallpaper for homescreen.multitasking also better than droid.
Anyone know if they are going to be able to solve this one and if so when? I have tmobile and just bought the 3gs and ofcourse it has the new block. Thanks for any help.
Ok a new unlock will be released in 4 hours from now aprox 2pm This unlock will work on the windows operating system and will unlock iphone 3g 3.1 (3.1 itunes download accepted) It iwill be done with ultrasnow which is the new version and will be completed in 4 hours I'm just trying to get the few bugs out and will release it shortly so hang in ok guys.

Today I got a refurb iPhone 3GS from the Apple Store that shipped from CA. It came with FW 3.1 > restored to 3.1.2 and used blackra1n to jailbreak with success.
(Im assuming) All recently refurbished iPhone 3GS's SHOULD NOT have the new 359.3.2 iBoot. I can confirm my refurb did not as I'm now jailbroken again.
Hope this is useful information.
where do you find refurbed iphones? can you buy them without buying an att plan? i'm writing from china, so i'm a bit confused about how the market works in the US. thanks
hey, lucasbrizzo... Do you have the link or the location where you purchased your refurbished "iPhone 3Gs". I can't find it anyone, all i can find are refurbished iPhones 3G. thanks for the help.
i heard you loyal mac customers, which is today i will announce that all iphone and ipod software will be open for developers. Go ahead and hack all you want. NO more worry about jailbreak and best of all, the app screening process will be done by programed systems rather than a bunch of losers manually.
any more wishes ?
I think everyone needs to chill, of you already have an iPhone and it's jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about as you already have the older bootrom
If you are looking to buy a new iPhone, then you have already been warned that the exploit will not work, hence, no jailbreak and no unlock.
Not rocket science, of no iPhone joy. then stop bitching and get something else! ;-)
