When asked about PwnageTool, MuscleNerd said via twitter “they can compile now for wxwidgets for redsn0w 0.9, so pwnagetool port can be based on this”, “and so that means, pwnagetool port for windows and linux. For OSX it’s all on @wizdaz of course ”
PwnageTool lets you build custom ipsw files which can include personalized boot logos as well as automatic installation of applications. There is also project called Sn0wBreeze, a port of PwnageTool to Windows. However a port from DevTeam is of course more preferrable.
The latest version of PwnageTool 3.14 can be downloaded here.
Sn0wbreeze, the famous tool for Windows, will be released towards the end of this week. Sn0wbreeze is the software that will allow users to create custom firmwares to use for jailbreak and unlock. Now this functionality is available for Mac OS usera with PwnageTool.
In the video we see a preview of the graphic interface and the first functions. At startup we choose the expert or the simple mode and the rest should be exactly as we know it already.
With internet tethering enabled you can use iPhone internet connection on you desktop or notebook. Here is a quick tutorial for experienced users. For everybody else – just wait for the new version of PwnageTool or some other utility.
Here it is:
A bsdiff patch to apply to CommCenter in 3.1.2 to re-enable tethering is available and . It’s just a 2-byte patch as shown below (and an appropriate readjusting of the mach-o’s codesign hash):
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Your carrier may end up charging you for unauthorized tethering access.
Update #1 It looks like a lot of people have been looking at CommCenter lately because IRC user CleanAir had a similar tethering patch. Meanwhile over in the 2G CommCenter, WhiteRat and geniusan for that platform. Kudos to CleanAir, WhiteRat, and geniusan for digging into CommCenter and coming up with patches!
Update #2 A few have started to pop up. Eventually this will be made a part of the normal PwnageTool flow but for now this is best left for the adventurous users out there!

bsdiff patches are the normal way that PwnageTool modifies Apple software. To apply one manually, you must first get the “bspatch” program. Then do:
bspatch CommCenter CommCenter-hacked CommCenter.patch
If you don’t have bsdiff but know how to use a hex editor, the differences are available in text format.
The correct SHA1 of the hacked file will be:
1b19712035f33654cf72838ebe1a2033931b56b2 # 3GS
063165c3fa3e21d30eb4b486fab924ba3ef0ea5e # 3G
You would then remove the original program and replace it. Don’t forget to ensure it has execute permission!
chmod +x /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/CommCenter
After you’ve started using the hacked CommCenter, visit from your iPhone and install a new mobileconfig.
iH8sn0w has just released a new teaser video showing Sn0wbreeze, application for Windows that would basically be a clone of PwnageTool, equipped with the ability to create custom firmware and unlock the various devices.
Many users believe that Sn0wbreeze is just “fake,”.. Hopefully iH8sn0w did found an exploit and will finish Sn0wbreeze soon.
