In this article we’ll cover how to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 using the Mac OSX software PwnageTool 4.3.2, PwnageTool is one of the tools which can preserve your baseband. Meaning when you update you have the ability to keep your Baseband (modem firmware) at the same software version, while everything else updates. Sn0wbreeze runs on the Windows platform, to update and preserve your baseband on the Mac OSX platform use Pwnagetool.

This is a tethered jailbreak, please see a newer version in our tool section for the untethered version.

PwnageTool 4.3.2 supports iOS 4.3.2 on the following devices

- iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 GSM

- iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G

- Apple Tv 2G

- iPad

Now lets go through the tutorial.

1. Backup your software, connect to iTunes and backup your device, just incase you want to restore, or if something fails during the jailbreak process.

2. Download PwnageTool from the top right corner of this page, and download the firmware 4.3.2 from our firmware section.

3. Start PwnageTool and accept the little warning thats going to popup.

4. Select your device and click the blue arrow

5. Pwnagetool by default will try to locate your firmware, its going to look in your iTunes folder. If the firmware is not found there it will switch to expert mode and prompt you to browse for the firmware, in that case select the 4.3.2 firmware you downloaded in step 2.

6. You should get a green checkmark and you should be able to hit the blue arrow again

7. Select General – click blue arrow again

8. At this screen you will see an option that will allow you to activate or hacktivate your iPhone. Only check this if your iPhone is not on the original provider aka carrier.

9. click the blue arrow, at the cydia screen click the blue arrow again, on the custom packages screen you should see cydia installer checked off, click blue arrow

10. Now we are almost done prepping the firmware, select build and click the blue arrow

11. PwnageTool will prompt you where to save the firmware, select desktop for easy reference.

12. Let PwnageTool build the firmware, once completed follow the instructions on the pwnagetool app to put your device into DFU mode, you will see “Successfully entered DFU mode” when you have done the correct steps.

13. Now we open iTunes, your iTunes should give you a message stating that the device is in recovery mode, thats what we want dont worry. Next while holding the Option(OSX)/shift(Win) button on the keyboard click the restore button on itunes. This will allow you to browse and select a firmware.

14. Select the firmware you created from your desktop and let iTunes restore your device.

15. Now you may connect your device back and restore your settings from iTunes

I do not recommend this software for the iPad or the iPod Touch since you can use Redsn0wto achieve the same results but alot quicker. You should use this software only if you want to preserve your baseband on the iPhone.

Now that you are jailbroken. Your next step is to add some cydia sources & cydia apps. We have a great cydia sources list that you can find here.
