Yesterday iPhone Dev Team released PwnageTool 4.1 for those who want to update thier idevices to latest iOS 4.1 while preserving the baseband to unlock their idevices using the Ultrasnow 1.1. If you have already updated to iOS 4.1, the ultrasnow will not work for you.
However if you want jailbreak only, you can also use Greenpoison or Limera1in for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod on iOS 4.1. Those users who have saved the SHSH blobs of iOS 4.0 or beyond and they have upgraded their idevices to iOS 4.1, they can downgrade to iOS 4.0 and then use this method to jailbreak and unlock the iOS 4.1.
Here is the complete step by step guide to jailbreak iPhone on iOS 4.1 with PwnageTool:
Step 1: Download the PwnageTool 4.1 and iOS 4.1 for your iPhone (links at the bottom of this post).
