iPhone Dev Team: Don’t Update to iOS 4.1, It’s A Trap
The all new iOS 4.1 has been released yesterday, and it hosts some very lucrative features. But, currently there is no jailbreak available for iOS 4.1. Moreover, iOS 4.1 comes with a baseband update, so even unlockers should also stay away from this update for a while. iPhone Dev Team has also warned jailbreakers and unlockers in their blog, which goes like this:
Today you’ll likely start seeing iTunes innocently offer you a new version of iOS…version 4.1. Don’t accept it…it’s a trap!
This time of year there are lots of new iPhone owners, and not everybody knows that accepting new iOS updates is the surest way to lose your jailbreak and/or unlock. While those of you who have Cydia or TinyUmbrella backups of your FW hashes will always be able to get back to 4.0.1 if you make this mistake, this doesn’t hold for unlockers.There’s currently no known way to revert your baseband — if you update your baseband you’ll lose the ultrasn0w unlock, possible forever.
Please stay away from this 4.1 release until a safe jailbreak procedure (which also preserves ultrasn0w) is developed and released.
P.S. There are a tiny number of iPhone3G owners who can revert their basebands due to a flaw in very early bootloaders…you will already know if you fit in this category!
