Sn0wbreeze: PwnageTool to Jailbreak iOS 4 for Windows Coming Soon

iPhone 4 - First Impressions

iPhone Dev Team released PwnageTool 4.0 yesterday, which made it possible for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) users to update and jailbreak their iPhone with iOS 4. But it’s available only for Mac users.

So if Windows users are feeling left out, we’ve some good news for you. iH8sn0w, developer of Sn0wbreeze, which is the Windows version of the PwnageTool has announced that he will be releasing Sn0wbreeze for iOS 4 very soon.

Sn0wbreeze for iOS 4 will allow users to create custom firmware (.ipsw file) so that they can update and jailbreak their iPhone with iOS 4.

Sn0wbreeze will support the same devices as PwnageTool 4.0:

  • iPhone 3G/3GS (old bootrom/already jailbroken–NOT INCLUDING Spirit)

  • iPod Touch 2G

iH8sn0w has also published a video of Sn0wbreeze in action:

 

We’ll let you know as soon as Sn0wbreeze 4.0 is available, it could be as early as today. So stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.

    I'm still not 100% sure what bootrom I have but I didn't use Spirit on my 3GS. No tether necessary either so I think I should be able to Jailbreak without a problem. Can't wait!

  2. simon says:

    so what if i already jailbreak my phone with spirit,and now im gonaa upgrade to 4.0 and use sn0wbreeze.will that work.thanks

  3. iPhoneHacks says:

    No it won't work if you have jailbroken your iPhone using Spirit.

  4. val says:

    That's what I want to know. There is all this talk of not being able to jailbreak if you used spirit before, why is that? I have used pwnage tool, redsnow, blackra1n, and spirit all to jailbreak my iphone 3G at somepoint with spirit being the most recent.
    What if I do a clean upgrade to 4.0, then use sn0wbreeze?

  5. Wtf says:

    Wait, sprint works on the iPhone now? Since when?

  6. simon says:

    so what can i do.please help.its there is any way to do this.my phone its already jailbroken and unlock with spirit.i just want to upgrade it to 4.0.

  7. Mike Ross says:

    wait so if i have a iphone 3gs all i did yesterday was update to ios4 didnt do anything else will this jailbreak it for me?

  8. Toaster Driver says:

    I'd assume it depends on your bootrom version. If it's new then you're out of luck.

  9. Toaster Driver says:

    Spirit.

  10. jojo says:

    any luck for the new bootroom?

  11. Pero says:

  12. william says:

    ok i am lost, here is what i have done so far my iphone 3GS had 3.1.3 and i used the Spirit jailbreak. when 4.0 came out i did a clean install . is there anything out there or anything coming out to jailbreak my iphgone 3gs that used to be jailbroken via Spirit . yes or no and please explain. i am a computer geek and i have gotten to the point where i am lost .

  13. Josh says:

    Is this the end of the line in Jail Braking for all us that used Spirit to JB souled we just install os4 and never JB again has apple won almost.

  14. Brian says:

    Can someone PLEASE clarify this: I updated to 3.13…used Spirit to jailbreak. Updated my baseband to 5.12. Then I DOWNGRADED to 3.12. Jailbreak with Blackra1n – baseband STILL on 5.12. It's an OLD bootrom – no tethered jailbreak ever needed.

    So because I've jailbroken once before using Spirit – does this mean I can't use this when it's released???? Or since I'm currently on 3.12 – jailbroke with blackra1n, but with baseband upgraded to 5.12…I'm out of luck?

    Again – what I have now: 3.12 – blackra1n – 5.12 baseband…

  15. chris says:

    I'm with everyone else, been using spirit since got my iphone 3gs upgrade with new baseband can anybody explain why spirit is gonna screw up a new jailbreak i thought if i do a itunes restore it wipes it off?

  16. Jesus says:

    Could some tell me if it will ever work in iphone 2G

  17. Anshul says:

    Dat's sounds gud !!!

  18. Iphonefan says:

    Can any1 tell me how can I do if My 3gs jailbreak with spirit , now I want update to ios4 how can I do ? Ple help me

  19. Ynnad 69 says:

    you gonna have to wait for Dev Team to update spirit so you can upgrade to 4.0, for now stay away from upgrade….

  20. atd says:

    please release to unlock my 3gs with new botroom… 5.12.01 :( (((!!!

  21. GodsSoldier says:

    I have a iPhone 3g and installed the latest ios4 from felixbruns website via iTunes then I used Pwnagetool 4.0 to jailbreak. Make sure you DFU via Pwnagetool 4.0. then via Cydia I unlocked using ultrasn0w 0.93. Thats it. Works fine.

  22. NozzyEz says:

    Spirit wont 'screw' it up, but it will not work. The reason being that the current versions of pwnagetool and sn0wbreeze both require the phone to be jailbroken when deployed. Spirit is not sufficient because it is a so called useland jailbreak and not in the actual booting of the device… that is also why otherwise tethered devices can use spirit to go without having to plug it in over and over again. hope my answer was sufficient :)

  23. NozzyEz says:

    no, it doesn't matter if you've used Sprit prior to this… what is crucial is that your phone is jailbroken with a 'proper' jailbreak such as blackra1n. To make it easy for you, Baseband is irrelevant, and 3.1.2 with Blackra1n will work!

  24. Tmobile Lover says:

    Spirit, you fool! not Sprint. LOL!

  25. NozzyEz says:

    you could use f0recast to determine the bootrom I suppose, not sure, I don't trust it. But if you are jailbroken now untethered, and it is NOT with spirit, then you should have no problems!

  26. NozzyEz says:

    no, that will NOT work. What you have to do is downgrade to 3.1.2 and deploy the blackra1n jailbreak. If you can't do that because you don't have your SHSH on file or you have the new bootrom you are out of luck.

  27. liljohn says:

    I have a iphone 3g jailbroken 3.1.2 with blackrain and firmware 05.11.07 and i want to update to 4.0 but dont have a mac. should i wait?

  28. NozzyEz says:

    read my previous replies

  29. NozzyEz says:

    no, you need to first downgrade to 3.1.2 (granted you can), then jailbreak with blackra1n and THEN you can deploy 4.0 with Sn0wbreeze

  30. NozzyEz says:

    no luck unfortunately, not yet anyways

  31. NozzyEz says:

    Can you jailbreak 3.1.2 with blackra1n untethered? then you can get 4.0 with sn0wbreeze, if you can't, no love for you at the moment

  32. NozzyEz says:

    the situation is as such, that there is nothing out there at the moment that can provide a jailbreak for 4.0 without first having a device currently jailbroken with a 'proper' jailbreak, like previous sn0wbreeze, redsn0w or blackra1n.

  33. Stat1123 says:

    The dev team is working on fix for your situation. Currently right now because you used Spirit to jailbreak 3.1.3, you can not update to 4.0 and rejailbreak. The problem is the exploit used in Spirit has already been patched with the new iOS4. So they have to find a work around for it. Sit tight, it shouldn't be too long.

  34. NozzyEz says:

    no, this is not the end game, far from it…

  35. Stat1124 says:

    Naw not the end of the line…just a mere bump in the road. The fix will be out in due time.

  36. NozzyEz says:

    read my previous replies

  38. NozzyEz says:

    comments like that serve no purpose, they wont release something (whether they have it or not) because you ask them, politely or otherwise. It will come when it comes if it comes…

  39. NozzyEz says:

    yea, wait for sn0wbreeze :)

  40. Stat1124 says:

    The short answer is "NO". Sorry. As of this moment only iPhone 3GS (old bootrom and already jailbroken on 3.1.2), iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non MC model) are the only models that have been confirmed.

  41. val says:

    Thanks for that explanation. I couldn't find anywhere why the Spirit jailbreak was restricting us.
    What I don't understand from what yous said is that pwnagetool and sn0wbreeze require the phone to be jailbroken when deployed. Don't these tools "do" the jailbreaking?

  42. Chris says:

    Can't I just restore my itouch to original settings and the update/rejailbreak on iOS4?

  43. Chris says:

    I used spirit so can't I restore to original settings and then rejailbreak my itouch 2nd gen?

  44. Iphonefan says:

    My 3gs ready jailbreaked with spirit so if I rejaibreak with snowrbrease again can I update to ios 4? Is it work with that way ? Pls help

  45. jay lou says:

    there is a redsnow out right now that jailbreaks the iphone 4.0 google guys you will find it

  46. Blaze says:

    I have a 3GS with 4.0 iOS so with Sn0wBreeze I will not be able to unlock?

  47. Kimmy says:

    What about those who using 3GS with new boot room and iPhone 4?

  48. scott.chad21@yahoo.com says:

    Ok so maybe someone can help me here. I've jailbroken my phone many times before by downloading the firmware etc. However when I download the file this time instead of showing the firmware in a cube like icon square it seems to be in another format. I think someone on my PC changed the program around that it is supposed to run on. I hope someone knows how to change the file format to work with iTunes again. Any help please and thanks in advance!

  49. simon says:
