There are some problems with blacksn0w because it realies on the 3.1.2 com center, and needs to be updated the the 3.1.3 version. If installed it will cause you 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 Devteam developments of techniques and tools. xpwn runs on Windows, 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. There are some outstanding fixes to xpwn that the developers of sn0wbreeze made, which they said they would put back into the open-source version in compliance with the license (this has not yet been done though).
