Problems

There are some problems with blacksn0w because it relies on the 3.1.2 CommCenter, and needs to be updated the the 3.1.3 version. If installed it will cause your iPhone to go into a boot loop.

Use of xpwn

The backend of sn0wbreeze is xpwn, an open-source custom IPSW generator created by planetbeing in parallel with iPhone Dev Team developments of techniques and tools. xpwn runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Given a "bundle" of patches from either PwnageTool or sn0wbreeze, xpwn driven from the command line is able to create the same custom IPSW as either tool. One of the fixes to xpwn made by iH8sn0w has been made available. [1]. Others have yet to posted (dmg.exe).
