Just recently, Apple has released the new iOS 4.3.5 and you might be wondering that what jailbreak tool you should follow to jailbreak it. Well, the new PwnageTool bundle has been released to allow users who rely on carrier unlock to jailbreak iOS 4.3.5 on iPhone 4. The main advantage of using PwnageTool over Redsn0w 0.9.8 is that you’ll be able to preserve your old iPhone baseband that’s useful if you are looking to unlock your iOS device using Ultrasn0w in future.

But, remember one thing that this PwnageTool jailbreaking is a tethered jailbreaking method, i.e. you have to plug in your iOS device whenever your iOS device is powered on.

System Pre-Requisites :

1. iOS 4.3.5
2. iTunes 10.4
3. PwnageTool 4.3.3
4. PwnageTool Bundle
5. tetheredboot utility
