A while back on this blog, we shared a utility named Push Fix to help users with a Jailbroken iPhone to enable Push Notifications on the iPhone instantly.
Today, through an intimation on RedmondPie, we are pleased to inform that the same utility can be used by users with a Jailbroken and Unlocked iPhone to enable Push Notifications on the iPhone Firmware 3.1.2

The iPhone Dev team released the PwnageTool 3.1.4 a couple of days ago which allows users on a Mac to Jailbreak and Unlock the iPhone 2G, 3G and the iPhone 3G[S] on Firmware 3.1.2. I haven't been able to post the tutorial due to a busy routine so I am providing the hacktivated firmware for iPhone OS 3.1.2 which will allow any Mac or Windows user to Jailbreak and Unlock their iPhone.
The process will work only on those iPhones which have been Jailbroken at least once on a previous firmware. So if you bought a new iPhone and plan to follow through the guide, there is a good chance that your time will go in vain. { Read more... }

The iPhone Dev team has no plans to release and PwnageTool for Windows users and since there also isn't any ETA on the release of Redsnow, so we have created a Custom/Hacktivated IPSW for iPhone 3GS users who want to update to Firmware 3.1 while preserving the baseband.

Only users with a previously Jailbroken iPhone 3GS (on an old firmware) should attempt to follow this tutorial as it does not work for those who have an iPhone 3GS with Firmware 3.1 out-of-the-box. The tutorial will help to Jailbreak and Unlock your iPhone 3GS on Firmware 3.1. { Read more... }

Follow the steps below to Jailbreak and then Unlock your iPhone 3GS on Firmware 3.1 without having to update the baseband. Please proceed at your own risk.

Another important note is to remember that the method only works for those who already have a previously-Jailbroken iPhone 3GS on an old firmware. Users with Out-of-the-box device shouldn't waste their time with this tutorial.

Its Christmas everywhere for iPhone 3GS users today as the dev team has just released the new version of PwnageTool which will now allow them to update to Firmware 3.1 while preserving the old baseband, which means that users will be able to Jailbreak and even Unlock their iPhone 3GS on Firmware 3.1.

Though of course there are some limitations which might not make many iPhone 3GS users happy out there. Follow on to know more.

Oh we have a very good news for all those Windows users out there. You will now be able to unlock the iPhone 2G/3G right away without having to wait for the Redsnow tool.
PwnageTool 3.1 was released earlier today by the dev team but the fact that it can only be used by Mac users and leaves no ticket for Windows users seems a little unfair, so we made things a little easy for you.

Finally! I managed to steal my sister's iPhone 2G and experiment on with unlocking it using the PwnageTool on Firmware 3.1.

The unlock method of iPhone 2G is as much same as that of iPhone 3G but more safe, in case you make a flaw you can easily recover and unlock your iPhone again which is not so easy in case of iPhone 3G and specially the new iPhone 3GS. Follow the steps with open eyes, and trust me you won't even need to ask for help in the comments.

Before I begin with this tutorial, please note that the tutorial is only meant to work for those having the iPhone 3G currently at a 3.0 or 3.0.1 firmware, we shall attempt to update this to 3.1 using Pwnage Tool while preventing any baseband updates.
Another tutorial for those bearing an iPhone 2G is also on the way, so stay tuned. The following tutorial will only work on a Mac, but we will have something for Windows users out there soon too.

After all this wait, the iPhone dev team has finally released the Jailbreaking and unlock tool for the iPhone OS 3.1 firmware, and this is no less than a treat for all iPhone users out there.

As instructed by the dev team, since the Apple's update process is a little complex for those on the iPhone 3GS so the current Pwnage Tool 3.1 for Mac OS X will only be able to Jailbreak the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G and hence unlock both the iPhone 2G and 3G using Ultrasnow.
