iPhone 3.1.2 Update – Prepared for new iBoot which will not allow jailbreaking
| Hot: |
Well Apple has released another update but it appears that they didn’t bother to announce the update. I was just pushed out and supposedly resolves a bunch of little issues, with things like ‘connectivity’ according to the notes I read. But the real news is the fact that new iPhone 3GS shipping as we speak to a vendor near you will be using the new Bootrom, the iBoot 359.3.2 which protects the iPhone from jailbreaking using the 24kpwn exploit.
The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a possible solution, but are making several suggestions to anyone thinking of getting a new 3GS and what to do to prepare for any chance of jailbreaking it. I’d like to say I didn’t see this coming but honestly I’m surprised it took this long. How long it lasts? Well, stay tuned.
For the rest of the public, PwanageTool 3.1.4 has been released and works with the new update. Feel free to comment about how you feel about jailbreaking, and this development and whether this will sway your decision to purchase an iPhone.
