PwnageTool 4.01 was released yesterday by the iPhone dev team to jailbreak iOS 4.0 on iPhone 3GS. But PwnageTool is only for Mac. For Windows users, RedSn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 was the only jailbreaking tool available which doesn’t work for iPhone 3GS. If you have iPhone 3GS with old bootrom and already pwned on 3.1.2 with anything other than Spirit, then download Sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 for Windows and get it jailbroken now.
