The dev team releases their jailbreaking tool for FW 3.0

Yesterday, the dev team has released its activation and jailbreaking tool for the newly released firmware 3.0 from Apple. But as pwnage tool only runs under mac, PC users had to wait until this morning when they released redsn0w which provides the same capabilities for the iPhone 2G, 3G and iPod Touch original and 2G.

So, if you’re looking forward jailbreaking your phone, you can check out the redsn0w release post.

After downloading the tool, READ the mentions on the dev team blog. Then you’ll be able to execute the MO as described hereafter:

- Unarchive the zip file into a directory

- Run iTunes 8.2

- Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your computer and make sure iTunes recognizes it

- Switch to DFU mode

- Run redsn0w from the command line using: redsn0w <path-to-firmware-30-file>

- Wait until you’re receiving the message that your device has been jailbroken

There you go but be aware that jailbreaking your device voids your warranty.
