The much awaited jailbreaking tool for iPhone, PwnageTool 3.1, is now available for download. According to dev team the tool should be used only with 3.1 firmware from Apple. As of now PwnageTool 3.1 supports the iPhone 1st Generation (2G), the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch 1G. But, the tool does not support iPhone 3GS OR 2G/3G iPod Touch. Pwnage Tool 3.1 is only available to users of the original iPhone,  iPhone 3G, and the first-generation iPod Touch.

Below are some important points as mentioned in the dev team’s blog.

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should only upgrade to 3.1 with a PwnageTool created .ipsw. – Stay away from Apple’s direct updates as described here and here please get up to speed on the whole subject by reading the information contained in these posts.
2. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.1 unlock works with this PwnageTool release. iPhone 3G users upgrading to 3.1 will need to continue using ultrasn0w with a PwnageTool created 3.1 .ipsw
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.
6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.1 release.
7. This version of PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
8. PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.

The 4th one is the most important .

You must read the entire post before going ahead to use PwnageTool 3.1. One other important point is that jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod touch will void your warranty. So, you should better understand what you are doing.
