The videos found all over Youtube and such show the hack being performed on a 3GS, but the version of xpwn does not support working with the 3GS firmware. As the main penalty for incompatibility or general process mistakes seems to be bricking your phone, it would suggest that the book should be taken very literally. Any guidance on alternative tools or processes would be much appreciated. |

The file described /Volumes/ramdisk/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.restored_external.plist seems to be unavailable in newer iPhone OS Versions. This causes the whole process to fail for 3.1.x iPhones. |
