Apple started pushing out their official iTunes 8.2, which supports mobile devices at firmware 3.0. Here’s why you jailbreakers and yellowsn0w-users shouldn’t really accept that “Update now?” question:
-Most people aren’t at 3.0. In fact 3.0 is still in beta and has lots of bugs (especially related to push updates).
-It breaks your ability to use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite (ssh over usb). We don’t think this is a deliberate breakage of these tools. It’s just that Apple has updated a low-level USB protocol that normally only Apple cares about (but jailbreakers care about).
-So far, the only appreciable change to iTunes 8.2 is the Genius function working on videos.
-It may actually break Palm Pre’s connection to the device
This update is one of those that incidentally breaks QuickPwn and PwnageTool. It doesn’t seem like an anti-jailbreak. But nonetheless, it will break your ability to re-run QuickPwn or PwnageTool’s dfu-entry.
Because this update isn’t a deliberate anti-jailbreak measure, it’s easily fixed in tools. But we really don’t want to update our tools until 3.0 is out, so please don’t update to 8.2 if you think you’ll need to rejailbreak your device. :)
Thanx to DEV-TEAM!
