Over the weekend, the iPhone-dev team released the PwnageTool v2.0, a program that granted users to activate and jailbreak their iPhone units, including the iPhone 3G. The team decided to spruce up the application and work on it a bit further though, which leads us to the release of PwnageTool v2.0.1.
PwnageTool v2.0.1 takes care of the following issues present in v2.0:
- It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they re on your computer
- It creates the /Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
- Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
- The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.
The iPhone-dev team notes two things regarding this version of the PwnageTool. First off, due to the AppCast URL fix, the team advocates that everyone who downloaded PwnageTool 2.0 get this version if they want to stay up to date automatically. Second, if the PwnageTool did its job properly the first time you used it, then you shouldn’t need to try pwning your phone again using v2.0.1.
You can download the file through the mirrors on the linked site below, or through our own downloads page. The PwnageTool v2.01 we’ve downloaded is the one taken from _BigBoss_ s repository. Still you might want to check if the SHA1 of the file is 10b6c7dc22286e7b70c3d5a92cda7d117426fda9 to be on the safe side.
