Today PwnageTool 4.3.3 has been released by iPhone Dev Team to provide untethered jailbreak for recently released iOS 4.3.3. Besides preserving the baseband to retain existing unlock, Pwnagetool also allows you to hacktivate your iphone, add custom boot animations and custom packages.
Here is the step by step guide to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 untethered using PwnageTool 4.3.3. It is to be noted that Pwnagetool works on Mac machines only.
