sn0wbreeze 2.4 Available – Jailbreak Now Compatible with iOS 4.3.1
sn0wbreeze, the only iOS 4.3.x jailbreak compatible with Microsoft’s operating system, was updated again over the weekend. The new version of the jailbreak, released by iPhone hacker iH8sn0w, is now compatible with iOS 4.3.1, and just like its predecessor, it allows users to unlock their iPhone via ultrasn0w (with a couple of caveats, more details after the break).
The jailbreak is compatible with all devices capable of running iOS 4.3.1, namely the iPhone 3GS & 4, the first generation iPad, and third & fourth generation iPod touch. iPad 2 users will need to wait, as the jailbreak is still not compatible with their device.
sn0wbreeze is a tethered jailbreak, which means that each time iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users switch off or reboot their device, they will be required to plug it to their computer to be able to restart it.
While the jailbreak allows you to preserve your unlocked baseband, if your baseband needs to be unlocked, the updated version now supports ultrasn0w unlock. Only six basebands are supported at this stage:
- 01.59.00
- 04.26.08
- 05.11.07
- 05.12.01
- 05.13.04
- 06.15.00
