Earlier today we saw the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone 7 Series, but the most we saw were just pictures which can easily be Photoshopped. This video just surfaced showing the HD2 running the OS. Though it’s laggy and slow, but it looks as though the HD2 is a capable enough device to run it!

The much awaited upgrade to the PwnageTool, version 3.1.5 has just been released by the Dev-Team. This version is compatible with all iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS (old bootrom), iPod Touch 1G and 2G (old bootrom). For iPhone 3GS users, Dev-Team advises that you stay at firmware 3.1.2 because PwnageTool wont work if you’ve upgraded to 3.1.3. If you have upgraded without your 3.1.3 hashes on Cydia, chances are you’ll have to wait for the next iPhone OS update to be released and then jailbreaked because according to the Dev-Team, OS 3.1.3 update was possibly released by Apple to flush out new exploits before the next release.

So, if you want to jailbreak and unlock it using blackra1n, you’ll have to downgrade to 3.1.2 but the modem firmware will still be 05.12.01. Remember, before trying this out, back up your data. If you end up bricking your iPhone, I won’t be responsible for it. ( Credit for this guide goes to Cliff who sent it in! )

Don’t upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.3 if you’re using an unlocked iPhone 3G/3Gs or a jailbroken iPod Touch 2G (MC Model)/3G.
