To download and use our games and applications for free you will need to jailbreak your iphone!
Jailbreaking is a process that allows iphone and iPod Touch users to run unofficial code on their iphone devide which allows then to run software which is not downoaded from the App Store. Once jailbroken, iphone users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia, Rock App, Icy, and Installer. Cydia is popular with users whilst Rock App has a small catalog of mainly paid apps. Icy and Installer are officially unsupported by their developers and rarely used. Cydia founder Jay Freeman estimates that 8.5% of all iPods and iPhones are jailbroken. A jailbroken iphone or iPod Touch is still able to use and update apps downloaded and purchased from Apple's official App Store. Jailbreaking is distinct from SIM unlocking, which is the process by which a mobile device is made compatible with telephone networks with which it was not specifically licensed to be used. Jailbreaking, while not illegal, gives a user the ability to install cracked and pirated apps, which is illegal. Jailbreaking, according to Apple, voids Apple's warranty on the device, although this is quickly remedied by restoring the device in iTunes.
We have provided a selection of download areas which allows you to download the jailbreak application from various developers.
Here are some details on our latest version of PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X which supports the 3.1.2 release of the iphone software for iphone 2G/3G/3GS and iPod Touch 1G/2G.
DETAILS:
GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iphone 3G or iphone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iphone software in the future.
Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1.4 capable version of PwnageTool.
PwnageTool WILL work for Original iphone (1st Generation), the iphone 3G and iphone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.
For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to updating in the future, just remember to never install an update directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with PwnageTool.
There is no Windows version of PwnageTool yet. It is currently a Mac OS X tool only. Custom IPSWs created on a Mac can be used on a Windows machine too.

A cross-platform jailbreaking, unlocking, and customizing tool for iPhones and iPod touches. Customizations include boot logos, recovery logos, and “verbose” boot. It's a standalone program that doesn't use iTunes (no custom IPSWs are involved).
The download links are at the bottom of this page (but please read the whole page anyway!).
We've been offering redsn0w in various incarnations over the years (including poorlad's Windows version of QuickPwn). The most recent release before this one was redsn0w 0.8, which targeted Apple firmware 3.0/3.0.1.
All iPhones and iPod touches except the iPod touch 3G
Windows and Mac OSX (x86)
Apple firmware 3.0 and 3.1.2
When it's out of beta, it will support the iPod touch 3G, PPC OSX, and Linux.
If you need a carrier unlock, redsn0w will handle iphone 2G by itself (by installing our BootNeuter utility). For the 3G and 3GS, use Cydia after you're jailbroken to install ultrasn0w (baseband 04.26, preferred) or blacksn0w (baseband 05.11).
redsn0w doesn't require a system restore like PwnageTool does (it doesn't even use iTunes at all). On the other hand, PwnageTool can prevent your baseband from being upgraded when you upgrade your firmware, preserving your unlock. (redsn0w doesn't touch your baseband but it doesn't help preserve it during an upgrade either).
redsn0w works by modifying your current filesystem, so your existing baseband, data and applications should remain intact.
It uses our original Pwnage bootrom exploit for iphone 2G, iphone 3G, and iPod 1G. (Because it's a bootrom exploit, it can't be fixed by Apple without a new hardware release.) Note that redsn0w 0.9 does use the USB exploit for iphone 3GS and iPod 2G running 3.1.2, but that exploit will be fixed in Apple's next FW release.
It offers custom logos and verbose boot
It installs Cydia without needing a separate download
It's not as fast :) (but redsn0w handles more variations :))
If you have a late-model iphone 3GS, or if you have an iPod touch 2G whose serial number begins with “MC”, you can use redsn0w to jailbreak but you are currently restricted to “tethered” rebooting. That means you need to connect your device to a computer to complete the boot after a reset. Also, these devices cannot have custom logos.
redsn0w will ask you whether or not you fit in this category when used with the iphone 3GS or iPod touch 2G. If you have a late-model device and don't give redsn0w the correct answer, you will likely need to do a system restore to recover from the mistake.
To do a tethered boot after your late-model device resets for some reason, either run redsn0w again and select “Just boot tethered right now”, or run blackra1n.
If you're already jailbroken (by whatever means), redsn0w can still be used to change your boot logos, revert back to the stock logos, or switch verbose booting on and off. By selecting “Already Pwned” you can bypass the steps normally needed to enter the jailbroken state.
You should see a picture of a drive (“Downloading Jailbreak Data”) within 30 seconds of launching the jailbreak (after you've made your custom selections). It should then reboot and you should see a running pwnapple while the process is underway. It should finish within a minute or two after that, and will reboot on its own.
The Windows version has been tested by small groups of volunteers on IRC and our blog since mid-January. That being said, this is still a beta and if things go wrong you may have to do a system restore…so make sure your data and pictures are synced before trying the beta.
redsn0w is in beta until we get iPod Touch 3G, PPC OSX, and Linux support added. In the meantime, please send any feedback to MuscleNerd (either gmail or iphone-dev.org), or tweet with a #redsn0w tag. Please detail your device, OS, and any problem you find.
Jailbreak your iphone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
Run Cydia or Icy
Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
WE are the best!
