Thread: Which Jailbreak makes the most sense to use?
Started 1 month ago by ZipZap
Ok, so there are now a few Jailbreak programs available and looks like all can also unlock (and I do stand corrected from early predictions of doom).
That said, which JB makes the most sense to use? I have a Mac and a PC.
Does it matter to keep the baseband intact or just upgrade to 3.1.2 and Blackrain.

If you're thinking about resale value and you have the 4.26.08 baseband, you should definitely use PwnageTool to create a custom firmware. Since you don't mention unlocking at this point, I assume you are with an official carrier. You should make sure to uncheck the "Activate" option in expert mode so that PT won't create a hacktivated firmware.

For many people, blacksn0w causes frequent loss of WiFi among other things. Musclenerd recommends sticking with 4.26.08 if at all possible, and I can't think of ...

For your payment you will get a CD with Blackra1n, Pwnage Tool and Ultrasn0w on it.
You must not spend much time reading posts here, even though you have been registed ...
