PwnageTool 4.1 has been released. You can use it to cook custom firmware files without the upgraded (2.10.4 / 05.14.02) baseband for iPhone 4, 3GS and iPhone 3G running on iOS 4.1 so that you can unlock it using the existing version of Ultrasn0w. This version of PwnageTool also supports hacktivation.
PwnageTool 4.1 supports: iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), Apple TV, iPad and iPod touch 4G / 3G.
Follow the instructions posted below to jailbreak any of the above mentioned devices running on iOS 4.1 with PwnageTool.
Step 1: Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Step 2: Now start iTunes and sync your, iPad or iPod touch with your PC or Mac so that it backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.
Step 3: Download PwnageTool4.1 and the original iOS 4.1 for your version of iOS device. (download links given below). Move all these files to your desktop.

danny thanx for the updates. bear with me plz im not too genius in this.

is this methode only for apple or window too?

can i unlock iphone 4 version 4.1 base band 02.04.10?

thanx lot .
 
This is a Mac tool for now...not sure if it will eventually work on windows or not. If you upgraded to 4.1 with itunes and the baseband was updated to 02.10.40 its can't be downgraded or unlocked. Just havetoo wait until 4.2 is out and the dev-team gets a new unlock built.
 
Yanniss, you should really check the forums before posting questions like this that have been answered many times.

But since I'm in the same boat as you I will answer this. As of this moment, you can not unlock 02.10.04 using ultrasn0w or pwnagetool. They've announced a release date for such an unlock, and it will be after iOS 4.2 is released from Apple so that they won't have to release another unlock for 4.2 basebands in 2 or 3 weeks.
 
there used to be a windows version called winpwn but the guy who was making the tool got fed up and stopped, or for some other reason unknown to me, and its also a real shame pwnage tool used to have custom boot logos and now i finally get a mac and can use it it does not support the iphone 4 :( the boot logos i mean
