iPhone Dev team had released PwnageTool 4.1.2 for Mac, which allows users who want to jailbreak and also unlock their iPhone to update their iPhone with a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.1 firmware while preserving the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.

Sn0wbreeze developed by iH8sn0w, who also shared screenshots of jailbreaking an iPad with Sn0wnbreeze 2.1 has always been considered the unofficial PwnageTool for Windows but looks like another respected member of the dev-team chpwn, iPhone developer and hacker is also working on the official PwnageTool for Windows.

For those of you who don’t know, Sn0wbreeze for Windows is equivalent to PwnageTool for Mac and can create custom firmware files without the upgraded baseband so that you can unlock your phone using the existing version of UltraSn0w.

MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team and iH8sn0w confirmed the news on Twitter:

MuscleNerd: @BaDRaN9 I think @chpwn is mostly there True windows version of PwnageTool by someone in the know.

iH8sn0w: @syzwnghani well, looks like chpwn is working on pt for windows, so maybe never,

MuscleNerd: @iH8sn0w seriously…@chpwn is your age, and about to release a better version of PT for win. Don’t *blame* him for that.

This new version of Sn0wbreeze is going to support:

• iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1
• iPhone 3GS (new and old bootrom) on iOS 4.1
• iPhone 3G
• iPhone 2G on iOS 3.x.x
• iPad on iOS 3.2.2
• Apple TV 2G on iOS 4.1
• iPod touch 2G / 3G / 4G on iOS 4.1

As of right now, there is still no ETA for this new version of Sn0wbreeze. Stay tuned by following us on Twitter and/or subscribing to our RSS feed to keep updated with the two tools.
