With no iPhone 3G software unlock in sight and the best of the Dev Teams baseband unlockers hard at work trying to crack it, the other members of the iPhone Dev Team have not been sitting idle. The Dev Team today released QuickPWN. It’s a tool to jailbreak an iPhone quicker and easier, without requiring a full restore. Currently QuickPwn requires your device to be running version 2.0.1 of the iPhone/iPod firmware.

As jailbreaking only deals with the S5L (application processor) side of the device, so it’s impossible for this to permanently damage your device. It’s more convenient because you do not need to make a full custom IPSW and use iTunes to restore your device with it, but your phone still ends up pwned and jailbroken. A funky UI is planned and this release is for PC users for now. I’ll be checking it out, but if you have tested us let us know in the forum.
