Apple iOS 4.3.4 update released

Apple released the iOS 4.3.4 update on July 15 for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch. This update claims to solve the PDF exploit in iOS. However, as is usual with iOS updates, it also breaks your jailbreak should you choose to upgrade.

However, even though it has been just a couple of days since Apple released the update and it seems there is already a jailbreak available for it. Thanks to PwnageTool, you will be able to perform a tethered jailbreak on your iPhone, iPod touch and the first generation iPad (no iPad 2 support for now), and at the same time preserve your baseband for an Ultrasn0w unlock later on.

A tethered jailbreak simply means if your device loses power or restarts then you would have to boot it into the jailbroken state again. No matter how annoying it may sound, but its better than having no jailbreak at all.

The neat thing about PwnageTool is that it allows you to preserve your iPhone’s baseband, which aids in unlocking your iPhone later on using Ultrasn0w unlock. You can find out you how you can jailbreak your iPhone on iOS 4.2.4, preserve your baseband and unlock it with Ultrasn0w, let’s get to it!
