iH8sn0w has just released Sn0wbreeze 2.7 for Windows, which allows users who want to jailbreak and also unlock their GSM iPhone to update their iPhone with a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3.3 firmware while preserving the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w. Sn0wbreeze 2.7 also supports iOS 4.2.8 for Verizon iPhone.
Sn0wbreeze is considered the unofficial PwnageTool for Windows. iPhone Dev Team has also released PwnageTool for Mac users sometime back.
It allows users to create custom iOS 4.3.3 or iOS 4.2.8 firmware file that is pre-jailbroken, which can be used to upgrade their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 4.3.3 or Verizon iPhone to iOS 4.2.8.
In case of iPhone, it also preserves the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.
ih8sn0w has provided the following details in the release notes:
- Now Supports iOS 4.3.3 [untethered] (except iPad 2)
- Now Supports iOS 4.2.8 [untethered] (Verizon iPhone 4 users)
- Multitasking Gestures are enabled in the Settings app as usual
- ultrasn0w works with previous working baseband thanks to today's update
- Verizon iPhone 4 basebands now get updated [GSM versions not affected]
- Animated boot logos work as usual.
Sn0wbreeze 2.7 supports an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2 and supports the following devices:
- iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, Verizon iPhone
- iPod touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G
- iPad 1
Sn0wbreeze 2.7 doesn't support iPad 2. Sn0wbreeze 2.7 also allows users to enable four and five finger multitouch gestures, which are only available to developers of iOS developer program.
Please note that the ultrasn0w fix currently supports iPhone 4 baseband 01.59.00 and iPhone 3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and 06.15.00.
iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone users who don't care about unlocking are better off using Redsn0w as one doesn't need to preserve baseband like iPhone users.
You can download Sn0wbreeze 2.7 from iH8sn0w’s website.
As always, please let us know how it goes.

AWESOME!!!
New versions still doesn’t help with my iPhones 3GS 06.15.00 BB (now iOS 4.3.3).. Still “No Service”
You need to install Ultrasn0w to fill the No service issue. Check this post for more details:

I know, I installed ultrasn0w too, because my iPhone isn’t factory unlocked, but still nothing.
Have you played with SAM?
I somehow screwed up my Rogers phone service on the last jailbreak and came back with no service. Installed SAM and did a deactivate and it allowed iTunes to activate the phone. It was kinda like a flag wasn’t set to tell iTunes Thayer phone wasn’t activated so it didn’t try.
Good luck!
MAYBE U WANT TO TRY TAKE OUT THE SIM CARD THEN PUT IT BACK IN
I tried this thousand times..
No SAM doesn’t help me too
But anyway, thanks..
I reaaaaaaally wish we had a jailbreak for iPad 2!!!
My iPad still smells too much like Steve. I want to make it my own!
I will try to continue waiting patiently.
Personally, I think you should have done your patient waiting before purchasing your ipad2. But good luck with it.
Having issues on Verizon 4.2.8
i’ve done it about 10 times (not exaggerating) and can’t get it to stick. stock firmware is working fine however…i’d really hate to use THAT though
should have waited before jumping on the jb train i guess…
it’s loading up but then sticking on the “connect to itunes” logo screen…tried 3 different programs to kick it out but none worked…thinking i might be rolling original firmware soon
i already jailbroke my phone with redsn0w. only to realize after that my baseband is not eligible to lock using ultrasn0w 1.2.3 while the whole purpose of my jailbreak is to unlock my iPhone 4.3.3
