The dev-team has cracked the case and found a way to jailbreak Apple’s most recent iOS update, 4.3.1. The team makes it easy to jailbreak the phone with just a few steps. After that you will have more access to your phone and the ability to get unsupported applications among other things. Just remember to restore your device before bringing it to the Apple store or it will void your warranty. If you are an Ultrasn0w user, wait to upgrade since the dev-team still needs to release and update for iOS 4.3.1. This jailbreak supports iPhone 3GS and 4 (GSM only), iPad 1 (notice no iPad 2), and iPod touch 3G and 4G.

2. Download iOS 4.3.1 using the appropriate link (all are official links from Apple):
