iPhone OS 4.0 Beta Jailbreak Tool Released

Once again, the iPhone hacking group - iPhone Dev team, has released an early version of its redsn0w 0.9.5 beta tool to jailbreak the first iPhone OS 4.0 beta. Before you rejoice, do note that this first working jailbreak currently supports just iPhone 3G and that too only on Mac. iPhone Dev team's member MuscleNerd released the public tool through his Twitter account and specifically mentioned that the tool is for jaibroken app developers to fix their apps before final the build of iPhone OS 4.0 is released.

The iPhone Dev team showed jailbreak possibility last week and just after that George Hotz, an independent iPhone hacker, posted an image about jailbreaking iPhone OS 4.0 with blackra1n. The new redsn0w 0.9.5 beta tool works only on Mac and that too with iPhone 3G to jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0 beta. Also, this beta tool just jailbreaks the iPhone OS 4.0 beta and doesn't hactivate (carrier unlock), so resist using this tool.

As many iPhone developers note, the iPhone OS 4.0 beta is very buggy and one MUST have properly-registered developer UDID (Unique Device Identification) code to pass the device activation stream. We strongly recommend avoiding iPhone OS 4.0 beta from torrents or any other sources. You may end up damaging your device.
