Untethered 4.3.3 jailbreak with Pwnage Tool 4.3.3.1 [Tutorial]

    This a on how to do an untethered jailbreak for 4.3.3 using the new version of This method is for OSX users only. Use this method if you wish to create a 4.3.3 firmware with Cydia pre-installed to restore with. If you have an unlockable baseband, this will preserve your baseband and allow you to unlock your phone using our Ultrasn0w 1.2.3 tutorial.

    DOWNLOADS:
    Pwnage Tool 4.3.3.1 - Mac
    iOS 4.3.3 firmware file

    Step 1: Open Pwnage Tool 4.3.3.1 and select the device you are trying to jailbreak and click the next arrow.

    Step 2: Select the expert mode option and browse for the firmare file that you downloaded for your device.

    Step 3: The next screen you see is where you will select the options for your customized firmware. If you don't know what these options mean you can just leave them at default values. *IMPORTANT* If you have an unofficial carrier you MUST select the "Activate the phone" option under "General Settings" or your phone will not boot to the springboard after you restore.

    Step 4: After you have selected the options click the "Build" button and then click the blue arrow to continue. At this point, Pwnage Tool will ask you where you want to save the custom firmware file to. Save it to your desktop to make things easy. After you have selected where to save the custom firmware, Pwnage Tool will begin to to build the firmware which will take approximately 5-10 minutes. Make sure not to walk away from your computer right away because Pwnage Tool will ask you to enter your administrator password to continue about 2 minutes into the process.

    Step 5: Once Pwnage Tool is finished you will then see the custom firmware on your desktop(or wherever you saved it to). At this point, you must enter Pwned-DFU mode in order to restore the custom firmware. Follow the onscreen directions to put your device into DFU mode and Pwnage Tool will then apply Pwned-DFU mode.

    Step 6: Now that you are in Pwned DFU mode and you have created your custom firmware with Pwnage Tool, all that's left to do is to do a alt/option+restore in iTunes and point it to the firmware you created with Pwnage Tool which should be on your desktop(or wherever you saved it). Make sure you restore the CUSTOM firmware and not the factory firmware.

    Congratulations, you are now and untethered on 4.3.3! If you require an unlock please continue to our ultrasn0w 1.2.3 tutorial to unlock your device.

      I got everything done up to the Shift+Restore part. iTunes doesn’t acknowledge this and just goes on to do a normal restore. Any ideas, anyone??

      thanks for your help

        Tutorial updated, on Mac you use the alt/option key + restore

    • Justin

      option restore doesn’t work for me either.

      • http://iphoneblogr.com JaeM1llz

        It works for everyone, that is how you specify a custom firmware file to restore on a Mac

      I got an error 1015 at the end of my restore using pwnage 4.1.3 unlock edition and iphone 4.1 and ipad 3.2.2. What do I do!!!?

      Thanks!

      • http://iphoneblogr.com JaeM1llz

        Those are very old firmware revisions that Apple has not been signing for quite some time. You must use the newest firmware 4.3.3

      I have upgraded to 4.3.3 but Iphone will not activate. When I restore back to 4.3.2 the phone hangs at the apple screen with the spinning wheel not spinning.
      If I restore to the official 4.3.3 thru Itunes I have no problems.

      Any ideas.

      • http://iphoneblogr.com JaeM1llz

        Restore to the official 4.3.3 firmware and then use our JailbreakMe 3.0 Tutorial

        • blazer125

          Worked perfectly.

          Thanks.

      A error has appeared when itunes tried to restore using custom restore ipsw file. this device isn`t eligible…
      what am I suppose to do?

      • http://iphoneblogr.com JaeM1llz

        You must have used the wrong firmware file when you created your custom firmware. What device are you on and do you have your 4.3.3 SHSH saved?

      Hi,

      Can any1 help.

      I have a ipod touch 4G. with 4.1 IOS and jailbroken.

      A lot of games and apps r now asking for updates and hence i want to update. I have following questions.

      1> Should i update using Apple?
      2> I have done some research which talks about custom firmware. Does this delete all information stored? All scores and local data?
      3> Is there any place where this is step wise given specifically for my kinda case?

      Thanx a Ton to whoever tries to help me out!!!

        When the games ask for updates you just update the actual games themselves through the iTunes store. If you update your firmware you will be on 4.3.5 which only has a tethered jailbreak. You should just stay on 4.1 if you want to remain jailbroken.

      worked for me, but i had to do an extra step. before restoring the firmware with itunes i added this line to /etc/hosts file (is osx)

      74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

      so itunes does not connect to apple servers

      thanks a lot for the tutorial
