Hello guys! I think you are cool! So please do your work! You are perfect with it. (even in spite of the fact that my ipod is not yet possible to jailbreak :-) ) I hope you will release PWN Tool for iPod Touch 2G soon, because it is my first iPhone OS device that i have bought :-)

Guys,
nice work. But im getting an error (6) in Itunes when i try to restore with the custom firmware i just created with newest pwnagetool.
Any ideas, anyone?
Already tried restoring with itunes, then try the new firmware and also tried to do this via recovery-boot-mode with no luck.

Error 6 usually means you let iTunes figure out you're using a hacked image. Are you sure you're in true DFU mode?
Niclas

Thanks for the fast reply.
I "think" so.. I opted to use your "No" choice when asked and followed the guide to put the iphone in the right mode. Still no success.
I tried it again, this time with no added boot and recovery-logos - now Im getting a 2001 error halft the time and the 6 error.

OK folks. Stevie J here. I too was having lots of errors (unable to sync apps, errors 6, 1600, 2001, etc.). The engineers in the lab made it a bit harder this time, but the dev team did it again!!
This might be overkill, but what I did to get it to work was deleted any backup profiles in iTunes, and delete all apps listed in iTunes (you can download it again for free).
I then went through the Pwnage Tool, and said "No" at the end if it was pwned before. I went into DFU mode, and restored the custom firmware. I set it up as a new iPhone. And presto, it works!

Thnks Dev Team.... But I'm stll no 1.1.4, first gen iphone, can i update direct to 2.1? if restore all 3rd party sofwares will be wiped out?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you're still at 1.1.4, then you've got some decisions to make. Mostly, do you want 1.x third-party apps, or the thousands (yes, thousands) of App Store apps in addition to 2.x non-App-Store apps.
If you want to move on to 2.x, you can either use full pwnage or quickpwn.
The mere crossing of 1.x->2.x will make all of your 1.x third-party software go away, though.

Does PwnageTool 2.1 do anything to prevent 3G baseband updates?
Allen
· 1 year ago
Can I ask a dumb question? I have a jailbroken first gen iphone. What am I supposed to do? Download the Apple update and THEN to the pwnage tool? or do I just do the pwnage tool? I'm confused. Could someone please tell n00bs what we're supposed to do?
NotInUse
· 1 year ago
Hi Allen.
Download Pwnage Tool 2.1 Use Itunes to Download the iPhone 2.1 update, just download don't install.
When iTunes is done downloading the ipsw go to Volume/Users/(you)/Library/iTunes/iPhone Updates and pull the ipsw out of that folder and place it somewhere easy to find.
I don't think you'll need the bootloader files anymore. The dev team has removed the need to download those file independently I believe.
Allen
· 1 year ago
Thanks for getting back to me. I am so confused, though. You said what you said but the clarified video says that we should download the bootloaders. Then I am seeing a lot of people having trouble rebooting. I'm just a regular guy who has managed to get his phone unlocked once, but I really don't want to brick it. Trouble is, I have terrible battery life and would love to update to possibly get better battery. Should I do what you said or follow clarified?
I got the "QuickPwn is modifiying your device" - Endscreen and I am just seeing the Apple Logo and once in a while the iPhone vibrates twice.
Is this normal - How long is it supposed to take?
UPDATE: Okay, it does take quite some time - "felt" like 10 Minutes but now it worked JUST FINE!
MFong
· 1 year ago
Same here. I didn't have enough paitence. XD So I'm on my 2nd round on restoring it via the pwnage tool.
My phone would vibrate twice every 10 seconds when I boot it up. It would get stuck at the loading screen with a spining circle right in the middle of the pineapple. Unlike Rosenkrieger, I didn't wait. haha.
SteveK

This process seems to take a while. Mine looked as though it was frozen, but after a while I saw the screen flash and it now looks as though it has re-booted.

Same Problem here. First Iphone, iTunes 8, after restoring: stucked and vibrates twice, Itunes recognises and sync to it, but no Homescreen on the iphone. the phone reboots now and then itself but nothing changes.
MFong
· 1 year ago
Yeah, once again. I waited for 20+ minutes, and eventually I just abandoned it. I'm going to restore again and see what happens.
edit: I can't even put my phone into DFU mode, I know that doesn't matter if the phone has been pwned before, but I just wanted to start off new.
MFong
· 1 year ago
I gave up. It just keeps vibrating twice, and I'm rolling back to 2.01 for now. I need some more time to see what's going on.
What happens now is that it still vibrates twice, but my phone would reboot and iTunes would give me an error message saying that my phone has been disconnected and it can not be synced.
Res
· 1 year ago
when the phone vibrates twice, click Alt + Restore on the Summary page, choose the customized 2.1 that you created with Pwnage. Do the usual restore, then after the phone is activated, choose "New iPhone" (or something like that, just don't choose to restore from backup). It will do the quick fresh sync, then after it's done, you'll have a "brand new" iPhone again. You can syn your apps from iTunes again, but all settings will need to be done from the scratch
MFong
· 1 year ago
Thanks for replying.
That worked, but now iTunes says that it was unable to load the dataclass from Sync Services.
I have never seen that error before.
Res
· 1 year ago
Hmm.. never seen that either before. You can get to the home screen, right? Connect it to iTuns again, but cancel the syn, then right click the iPhone on the left bar, "Reset All Warning", reject the iPhone, restart iTunes. Now try again syncing.. but then choose "do not send data to Apple" or something like that..

I think the backup that you created is either corrupted or not compatible with the current state of the iphone, especially when you did a lot of modifications on the systems/springboard using 3rd party apps. thats my guess.. well.. i'd just start from fresh again.. thank god i got everything synced to my MobileMe
Mizu
· 1 year ago
Now I'm just trying to use Pwnage tool instead of Quickpwn. I'm not using any backup and I didn't use many cydia applications. Now I'm restoring original 2.1 firmware so I can restore then using custom firmware. I will let you know if I succeed! Thanks!
Saik
· 1 year ago
Finally got it. It seems that Cydia programs or changes are the cause for the trouble. After i pwnaged my phone i installed all my cydia apps first (only two: boss prefs and five-menue-dock), changed the options (disable kill switch, numeric battery and added five icons to the dock).
THEN I let iTunes install my backup and Taadaaa it works!!!!
kantare
· 1 year ago
Ok, i also had 5-menue dock installed, so this app should cause the problem. I will try and see if your procedure should work for me, too. Thanks.

I have a jailbreak 3G with firmware 2.0.2 installed. When I try to upgrade to the 2.1 firmware using Quickpwn, it gives me a message that "firmware installed on your iPhone 3G is not supported by Quickpwn, please check our website for further information." Is anyone getting the same message? Do I have to restore to the original 2.0.2 to use the quickpwn?
thanks.

"When I try to upgrade to the 2.1 firmware using Quickpwn" I thought QuickPwn can't upgrade the firmware, it can only pwn the one that is already on the device. You have to upgrade the firmware using iTunes and then quickpwn your Phone. Or instead use PwnageTool to upgrade the firmware directly with a pwned ipsw (firmware).

I just thought someone from the Dev Team might like to know what happened to me. I kept trying to update using pwnage in the same way I always have, but I was getting a 1600 error from iTunes. Therefore I decided to try updating to 2.1 through iTunes with the normal ipsw, knowing that it would lock my phone, and then I would try again using my custom ipsw file. After I updated through itunes to 2.1, the phone restarted and was unlocked using the default ipsw file. Just to make clear, I updated to the default ipsw file, not my custom one. I don't understand it, but its working right now.

I had the same problem (mac) - I wasn't entering DFU mode correctly -- when you create the ipsw file through the pwnage tool, and it asks if you if your iphone has been pwned before I clicked no (even though it had) - this gets you to the "Enter DFU mode" utility that guides you step by step into DFU mode - then mine worked fine. Hope this helps a few folks.

Thanks Dev team. I have a question, I tried to re-pwn my wife's iPhone and got an "unknown error 1600". I have iTunes 8 and have not downloaded the new 2.1 firmware from apple nor have I downloaded the torrent from you (lack of knowledge of know-how). I just tried to upgrade her firmware from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 using your 2.0.3.1 tool. I have flawlessly used the prior tools with no problem on both our iPhones.
Will this be fixed in the new 2.1 pwnage tool? I am a little slow about these things and in understanding your recent blog. And I will wait for a direct link for the new tool being that I don't really have experience with bit torrents.
Thanks again for everything. --Seattle

There doesn't seem to be any solution in switching up simple/expert mode and recovery/DFU mode. Anyone have luck with this problem?

Fixed the problem for me, I was lucky and manually backed up my SMS db before I tried to rejailbreak. Saik a solution for you would be to restore 2.0.2 and restore as normal, then manually backup your sms db, re-jailbreak to 2.1 and manually put it on your phone.

J. posted something about a patched Mobileinstallation file, Never heard of it until now. What is it anyway?

Res

kantare
· 1 year ago
I don't think this problem is because of a corrupt backup. It seems that is something how pwnage handles the new iTunes detection of pwned phones. It looks like the iphone is missing something to finish the backup and start normally, because in iTunes itself you can see that the data is landed on the iphone successfully and is activated.
Saik
· 1 year ago
I agree, the backup is definitely not corrupt or broken. While the boot-screen stucks, iTunes recognizes the phone and synchronizes it.

On QuickPwn, I get a message that my firmware is not supported. The firmware is a custom version installed using PwnageTool 2.0.3.1.
So, should I update my 2G iPhone to 2.1 via itunes before running PwnageTool?

Hey :) This is great ! Thx a lot in behalf of the Mac comunity for doing this version first ;)
One subsidiary question please, what about "mobileinstallation" file. The one we had to change to be able to install cracked official apps ? I doubt it but can we use the same as for version 2.02 ? Thx for any answer ;)
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
It's probably better to just forget everything you did with mobileinstallation and just let pwnagetool/quickpwn/cydia take care of it.
reluttr
· 1 year ago
I agree with MuscleNerd, it would be best to steer clear of modifying the mobileinstall file. Because it is the reason backup and sync times are so much faster in 2.1, also correct me if I'm wrong but using a older mobile install could possibly mess up syncing forcing you to restore in DFU mode.
Anyways my best suggestion is to give it time, that is a fairly large community and I'm sure they are working with the new firmware now and post about it soon. Anyways if you really like a application after trying it "or use it alot" you should defiantly purchase it and support the developer, because even tho there is major company's on the app store like EA there is still some developers that have to live off what they earn from their work.

You guys are awesome. I have a 1st gen iphone and I have always admired your talent and what you are able to accomplish. Please keep up the great job you are doing There are a lot of features that jailbreaking offers because Apple won't. Without your work, Apple never would have allowed 3rd party apps and would not have made the enhancements they did to the iphone (you can take credit for this) With out you continuing your work, Apple wont make additional necessary improvements to the phone. You have shown them that you can do a better job then they can and you have them playing catchup. Even the people who don't jailbreak benefit from your work as it pushes Apple to make a better product.

As mentioned further up in the thread, make sure to copy pwnage from the DMG to your desktop (or applications folder, wherever) before running it - if you run it from the DMG itself it causes this error.

To Anyone who gets 1600 error:
You've already pwned your iphone before, I believe. So there is no need for boot to recover model again.
Simply unplug your iPhone and press the top button to boot it back to normal model. Then plugin back and use the normal restore model to pwn it to 2.1.
Make sure you already have the right 2.1 retore.ipsw file and it is in the right place with the right name. Some thing like this on Mac: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone\ Software\ Updates/iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw

I'm on 3G. Did a normal apple 2.1 update first to make sure I got the baseband updates if any. Then did a PWN advanced firmware ( mostly to put my own logos ) and then put in DFU and updated with that custom one. Worked great on my end.

If you are using photoshop, make sure that you cut off the edges and leave them as transparent. For a while I thought I had to have a true "alpha" channel, but that's not how PNG's work. I've also noticed that the size thing is a little finicky. Try the same setup you have, but try an image with very few colors or scale your current image and make it smaller. That way you'll know if it IS your image, or some other problem. Hint: If you have a complex image - reduce the colors of it first by turning into an indexed image, and then go back to RGB. It will probably still look pretty good and be much smaller.

Wow! You guys are the greatest! I torrented down Quickpwn and Pwnagetool both (and will provide a seed for the rest of the day for both). I used iTunes 8.0 to upgrade my phone from 2.0.2 to 2.1. It, of course, removed all jailbreaking, etc. I then used the newest quickpwn to get back to jailbreak, Cydia, etc. Simple, straight-forward, no problems.
Thanks the deity of your choice for the iPhone Dev. Team!

Now for the request, for the next release of Pwnage or/and Quickpwn can you make it so that it gives the option to just go direct to the firmware bundle instead of trying to find it for me ? I just wasted 10 mins qith Quickpwn searching wherever to find the bundle and it never did and offered to d/l it for me. Nice of it but i already have it ... Again with Pwnage can it just ask me then if i dont know i can tell it that and it can go about its business, save us some time ... And make this great tool even greater.. Thanks again or the great work ..

I just pwned with 2.0.2 and have never pwned before that. Now that 2.1 pwn is out, do I have to re-pwn and redownload all of my apps (nes, terminal etc) or can you restore with a backup after you repwn it?
also, pwn pwn pwn.
If someone could fire me an email, that would be great. shadow.jubeei (at) gmail.com

As someone said earlier in the post, if Iphone-dev team weren't around I wouldn't have bought an iphone, I will never use O2 here in the UK as a rule, but you shouldn't be forced change just because Apple have got into bed with a particular company.
I wonder how many people bought iphones specifically because of the iphone dev team - you are relevant to users but also relevant to Apple (sales)
Keep up the good work - this is just a ploy by engadget to get more traffic.

Strange Behaviour after QuickPwning a 3G
Updated to 2.1 in itunes 8 on Friday, quickpwned that today, and there is some off behaviour regarding free space on the phone. I had about 7gigs of music and whatnot on the phone and a gig of free space. After quickpwning, I now have about 6gigs of 'other' and all the music has disappeared from the ipod app.
a very few podcasts didnt get affected.
I'm not too concerned as its not like I cant restore the phone, and I've not lost any data but it does mean having to quickpwn again.

Many people with original not hacked iphones after upgrading to 2.1 are unable to activate their orginal phones! Maybe You will help us, would be great!
BTW. Advanced mode don't work for me, DFU and firmware build by simple mode - YES, quickpwn - YES.

Timm
· 1 year ago
I've read through all of these posts, and still have noob questions...
I am trying to update to 2.1 without bricking my phone. I have an already Pwned 2.0.2 first gen iPhone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card installed and working perfectly.
QuickPwn says that my software isn't compatible. So I assume that means I need to create a custom_restore.ispw file using Pwnage, right?
I read somewhere in these posts that people have been able to update to 2.1 using just the iTunes updater? Does that actually work AND keep the phone SIM unlocked?
NOOB instructions posted on some web site would be great for all of us first-timers.
Thanks.

· 1 year ago
For those of you updating a 1st Gen Iphone that has been previously pwned:
Back Up your phone with iTunes.
Run PwnageTool in expert mode. Once the process is finished connect your phone and restore using your new custom ipsw.
Don't attempt to revert to your backed up iPhone just yet, as it will tell you that the backup is corrupted.
Close iTunes.
Now connect to WiFi/Cydia install OpenSSH and Boss Prefs.
From your desktop install the patched Mobileinstallation file.
Fix permissions on the iPhone via Boss Prefs and reboot.
Connect to iTunes and iTunes will synch your phone as it was before the update.
Henrik
· 1 year ago
For me did it work by following everything that our Pwg team has done through the program,
In the end when you have set the Phone into DFU mode - shut down Itunes and unplug the phone.
Then re-start Itunes and plug in the phone ( no more 1600 error ) hold down alt. and click on restore - click on your " custom restore "
I have a 1st generation phone.

I did not even use quickpwn or pwnagetool.

I actually want to make a UI suggestion: For the new user, who has never done this before (I did it on 2.0.2), going to DFU Mode is not the easiest thing.
When the first countdown comes iTunes activates its self and blocks QuickPwn. I quickly switched back to QuickPwn and immediately held my Home and power buttons because I knew what was coming. But a new user might not.
So why not make a screen like: "This is what you will have to do now" to prepare the user before he does the actual thing. 2 or 3 piktograms with arrows inbetween them should be enough to get your granny prepared for the fast-paced countdown.
Now, my iPod finished Pwning, I'm gonna enjoyn now, thank you so much for all your hard work DevTeam!

First I would like to thank you for such great tools.
My problem is I have done a custom 2.1 with the new tool; however, when I did the restore from iTunes I chose the original 2.1
At this time my phone is locked with the new 2.1, I am trying to restore to my custom SW but I keep getting error 1600, I tried to do with without DFU but iTunes will ask for the authorized SIM.
Help is needed to solve this issue.
Many thanks in advance.

Schweeet action, guys! This was the smoothest firmware/pwnage update ever. The LAST version messed me up with all the keychain errors, so I just went back to 2.01 (or whatever the heck it was). Couldn't restore from backup, had to manually re-enter all my settings, etc. Royal pain in the arse. Not this time though - complete success!
I had already upgraded to iTunes 8, so I was patiently waiting to see how you guys were going to lick that one. I Pwned using advanced mode, turned off activation (I'm ATT) and the custom icons, and told it I'd never pwned before so it walked me through the process again (love the beeps!). I got an error from iTunes saying it couldn't restore from my custom firmware. I just unplugged, restarted the phone, and it came back just as before, but this time iTunes was talking to it just fine. I backed it up, restored using my custom firmware, no problems at all (total time, about 15 minutes). I restored from backup, also no problems (hooray... first time ever since pwning)!
Now I just have to customize my look and get my categories all set back up. Hope this report helps someone.
Thanks a bazillion - you guys are awesome. Don't ever quit - as I said on MacRumors, the App store seriously needs some competition!!

I have a first-gen iphone and was also having the error 1600 and error -6 problems using PwnageTool, I tried everything, rebooting to DFU (multiple times), rebooting to restore mode, rebuilding the ipsw, rebooting my mac.. it'd fail every time. So I just restored my phone to the stock 2.1 firmware and used QuickPwn instead. Worked great. :)

okay got a 2.1 firmware from hackintosh but can anyone tell me if i can use it with itunes 7.7?i have read and am reading.there is sparse info and too much info(both) early exploit with using itunes 7.7 and total commander(windows) but still seeing errors people are having. some good info would be gold

I got by with 7.7... it failed on an update, but worked just fine on a restore. The only catch is that the phone no longer accesses the canadian app store.
First off.. You guys PWNED IT! Again! Geez, less than 24h! Second.. What did Apple do with Symbolic Links? They changed shit (dunno what, my MobileFinder is not accepting symbolic links as Directories anymore :-/ ) Anyone know what happened and how to fix it?

Oli

okay, another try: as far as I know it is a problem with the DRM. the problem comes from downloading apps via itunes and via iphone, in future you have to choose on option, only download apps at iphone or only download them at itunes!!
well, do this: - delete all apps at itunes AND iphone - restore (in german wiederherstellen, don't know the right word in english) and DON'T install the backup! Very urgent!! - then install all programm via iTunes and snyc them via iTunes with the iPhone, don't try another way, e.g. to download via iphone!
that's all, if this doesn't word to a hard reset! ;)

I'm still having problems after trying what folks on the board so far are recommending. I'm putting my Touch in DFU mode using both PwnageTool and doing it myself, but it keeps giving me the (1600) error when I try to load the firmware. Also, when I option-restore when the Touch is normally connected, it gives me either error (1) or error (6). Can someone help me? I normally haven't had problems with PwnageTool until now, so there must be something I'm doing wrong.

How can I update to the 2.1 software on my jailbroken 2.0.2 ipod touch? Do I need to update to the 2.1 software first then go through the jailbreak process again or can I just use pwnage tool 2.1? I downloaded the 2.1 software but did not install it and I can't find it in my computer. I assume that is the firmware bundle I should use to make the custom firmware... ?

Have big problem now... cannot pwn my 3G iPhone with itunes. I restore pwned firmware with itunes 8. There is no problem while restoring, but after restore, iPhone cannot connect to iTunes and itunes always said a unknown error with a hex number 0xE8000001 I also tried to restore with quickpwn, it works(can also sync with itunes) but it always activate my iPhone automatically, after this quickpwn, my iPhone cannot find any mobile net(3G net or any mobile signal), just like a ipod touch... after this time, I try resotre pwned firmware with itunes 8 again, but still get the same 0xe80000001 error. Is there any solution for this problem? OR how can I prevent quickpwn activate my iPhone? because I have a normal mobile contract and I can activate iphone with iTunes 8. Has anybody any Idea??

also, I can install the .ipa files but when I put in the .app files to applications.XXX and change the file attribute to 775 and restart my phone, the apps don't show up in the iphone. Can anyone tell me why? It works before when I have the 2.0.2 but the same methods doesn't work for 2.1 or am I doing something wrong?

No, you can't. You have to reinstall al 3rd apps. Today in cydia there was a new app that make a backup of list apps installed so that you can restore them after jailbrack... but now is too late.

Timm
· 1 year ago
OK, I figured it out. If you already have a first gen phone Pwned with 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 you do NOT have to put the phone into DFU recovery. Simply create your new custom_recovery.ipsw package using Pwnage. Then plug your phone and let iTunes recognize it. Press the alt/option button to select the restore file, and browse for your new custom file. Let it recover and resync. This will take almost 10 minutes - be patient !! You will have to re-do your sync settings for songs, ringtones, movies/tv and pictures. All apps should be installed and functional.
Again DO NOT put the unit into DFU recovery if it has already been Pwned with 2.0.1 or 2.0.2. Hopefully this saves some other people a headache.
Guru
· 1 year ago
Yup, this was it! Via DFU i got an error (2000 AFAIR), then I did a simple restore as you say an voilà :-)
lorimahr
· 1 year ago
Let it be stated here that you guys are gods on high for your work and contributions. I bow low...
Just a note on the Apple 2.1 update: it does indeed work on a pwned 2.02, but:
- it MUST be on a FRESH restore of Apple' s 2.02 from iTunes 7.x - THEN pwn it via Pwnage Tool or QuickPwn - THEN attempt the 2.1 from iTunes 8
Data preservation was not possible for me in the process (maybe because I'm a non-hacking dork), as existing personal data restorz kept breaking the the 2.1 update-ability. I eventually kept it fresh and re-synced when I was done.
It will be interesting to see if I can has Apple firmwarz through iTunes going forward this way.

Scott B.
· 1 year ago
Windows users who are willing to go without itunes for a while can jailbreak with quickpwn using an old firmware when it asks for current installed version. Cydia wont show up and from my testing deleting the cache doesnt fix it but naming it socks.app and putting it in the app folder will give you access to it and also moving the apps you want over the top of unused apple apps will give you access to them. (shitty method I know but I had winterboard working an hour after apple released the update using the above method)
Dev team, Thank you for getting this released already. I am happily running my iphone without auto correct which miss spells my name every time I type it and now I can stare at something other than a black background :)
Keep up the good work!

how do you let cydia handle it? I was able to install ipa using itune8 by replacing mobileinstallation using wincp.

Unsheeple
· 1 year ago
Charlie,
In Cydia search for a program called "CacheDel" install and run it and it should show hacked apps that you copied into your Applications folder. This worked for me but the only catch is you have to run this program after every hacked application installation.
Let me know if this works?
Unsheeple.
Charlie
· 1 year ago
Unsheeple,
I don't see the problem you suggested in Cydia. So this is the only way to have the hacked program show up on your iphone? Previously, all i had to do was to make to documents folder and set the attribute to 777 and then drag the .app to applications and change them to 775. Have you ever tried that?
thanks
Unsheeple
· 1 year ago
Charlie,
If you can't find the program all you have to do is delete the following file after each app install:
bad info cydia will not do mobileinstallation file mod only ipaprep from xsellize repo on cydia will. but i did it with ssh but cant help if its not doing through app, i am in same boat as i couldnt get app that i added through cyberduck ssh to work ----------------------------------------

After 4-5 attempts, I gave up on the custom restore.ipsw. The same error every time (1600). I then got back into DFU but chose the regular restore.opse file and that seems to have installed just fine. Thus, it seems that the custom restore.ipsw may not be as well formed as it needs to be. My iPod touch had been previously pwned at 2.0.2. QuickPwn would not touch it saying that it didn't recognize the firmware.
My iPod touch is now at 2.1 but locked up again.

I did nothing on purpose. Maybe a combination on pushing the buttons did something or it was just luck. I don't know but I'm very happy know. Hope that all of you that get silly errors will soon be ok.
It has been restored know and everything seems to work ok.
I never got errors before from PwnageTool. But it is certain that there is a huge bug that gives this error. Or else why would all these people struggle during in the process.
Hope that iPhone Dev. Team will update PwnageTool and fix this crazy bug. Anyway. Nice work fellas.

hi all, I was running cracked .iap's successfully on my iPhone 3G 2.0.2 firmware till I upgraded to 2.1.
Went through the normal process again (ie. creating 'Documents' folders, setting 777 permissions, putting up a patched MobileInstallation (775) file in its right place, rebooting etc...) however, none of the installed apps (AppStore & cracked) seem to work.
Whenever I open an app it just quits to Springboard within 2 seconds. I tried putting the new 2.1 MobileInstallation file from the post above as well but nothing works.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
Wont be able to sleep tonight....
Update: --------
I just found out that the apps installed through iTunes crash not because of the MobileInstallation file. I made a complete reformat on my iPhone, installed a couple of AppStore apps, they worked fine. Right after this I installed biteSMS from Cydia, came back to Springboard and discovered that all the AppStore apps are crashing. Does this have something to do with Cydia or the new jailbreak ??
PS : skyful of thanks to devteam for keeping us up !
fabio
· 1 year ago
I had the same problem as you had. All my apps from appstore would quit after 2 seconds. Remove biteSMS, then all your apps should work again. at least that´s what did the trick for me. The dev from bitesms is already aware of the problem, and he said that he will try to get a fix by monday.

i had the same exact problem. err...have the exact same problem. even after reboots it's not working. re-pwning doesn't work. trying a freshly created custom restore - but i made the custom restore after i moved the pwnage app to the Applications folder (as noted in the bold above).
i will note that the phone turned on fine and i was able to use it, it was only until i restored the last backup that it had an issue...
i'll reply when i get that finished.

so, it was my restore that was causing the problem. i'm not sure WHY it is a problem, but in the end I was unable to restore from my last backup before upgrading to 2.1. phone's running great now, quickpwned, but i'll be spending time getting my stuff back to normal.
i was so excited about AptBackup too - would have made it so easy to get up and running - maybe that's what caused it?

I would try to restore to the old software. Is itunes recognizing your phone at all? if it is you should be able to hit alt/option + restore then browse to the old software bundle and restore (or to the legit 2.1 bundle) then try to use quickpwn. I have an ipod touch so it may be different for me.

I just wanted to say the something really weird happened to my iphone. I own a 2g iphone (8gb). I pwanged it using the 2.0.2 custom firmware fw recently. It was all working fine with some glitches here and there which didnt bother me a lot. I then decided to upgrade to 2.1 today so I backed up my iphone and downloaded the new pwange tool. I also then upgraded to 2.1 original firmware from itunes. But the strange thing is I still have my phone unlocked and all apps have been restored by itunes itself. Though my vodafone sim was already in the phone (am in UK) the itunes have detected as the sim not recognised but it said nothing... I checked the fw info it says I have 2.1 (5F136). Dunno whats going on. All my applications are still there but not cydia and installer. Whats going on?
Do I need to build a custom fw to get the cydia and installer back? Is my iphone permantly unlocked? Any thoughts would be great.

Worked like a charm on my 3G running 2.1 firmware. However, some apps in Cydia don't seem to be compatible with the 2.1 firmware update like Snapture and Macman. They just end up crashing on me, so I uninstalled them. Winterboard is supposed to have a 2.1 compatible version up tonight.
Much mahalo to the devteam!

I've updated a 1st gen phone. Still works with T-Mobile (not ATT!). All's well! No - GREAT! :)
Will the 2.1 Pwnage tool allow me to use a 3G phone with T-Mobile?
Thanks!

Dont know if you know it yet, but there is no need to put the iphone in to DFU mode anymore, just connect the iphone and alt-click on the restore button selecting the custom firmware. Even easier!!!, Real Thanks for the PwnageTool, my iphone would not be so great without you! !!!

When PwnageTool asks if you've pwned your iPhone before, select NO, then follow the instructions in PwnageTool to put your iPhone in DFU mode. If you do it properly, you should be fine.

If you have your phone plugged into a USB hub, remove it and directly connect it to the Mac. Ensure that iTunes and iTunesHelper are shutdown.

For All those people out there who get the error i think this is how you fix i. When its made your custom firmware and you have put your password it will ask you two question. 1. do you have a itunes account that assist ( something like that) click no. Then put it into dfu mode and load it on itunes like normal it should work.

I need definitive answers to these questions. I have a 1st gen Iphone. I have already pwned with 2.0.2 in past and have phone on tmobile.
1. General > Enable baseband update - should I enable? Why? What exactly does it do? Why is it not enabled by default? 2. Bootneuter > Update bootloader - should I enable? Why? What exactly does it do? Why is it not enabled by default?
do i have to enter dfu mode when restoring on itunes with the costom firmware?
Osayi
· 1 year ago
It's the DFU mode that allows you restore. It's through restoring you can select the custom firmware. And the restoring process is only through iTunes. So yes, you have to enter DFU mode to restore your iPhone to a custom firmware in iTunes.

i got error 1600....THE SOLUTIOIN IS SIMPLE
i had already powned my phone...so at first i answered YES and followed steps and i got error 1600
in order to avoid this...when it says, have you every powned your cell phone before, SAY NOOOO...even if you have...and it worked perfectly...dont know why, just do it...
Nate
· 1 year ago
I confirm that this is the solution to the 1600 error. Even if you're previously Pwned the device but are currently running un-Pwned firmware you should allow PwnageTool to run you through the tutorial of entering DFU mode. I guess there's something more to the tutorial than beeps and numbers?
Thanks again Dev Team! I'm going to go kick engadget in the balls!

after several attempts with error 6 in recovery mode or 1600 in dfu mode using PawnageTool_2.1 i used Quickpawn 2.1. iTunes displayed an error message (iPhone not recognized or something like that) wich i didn't close until the whole process was done. Everything worked fine. (This was on a iPhone 2G, with a clean 2.1 Version on it)
Short Version:
1600? Use Quickpawn.

I can't seem to get this to work. I had a pwnd 2.0.2 iPhone, then I updated to 2.1 via iTunes 8, then used QuickPWN. I couldn't SSH into my phone so I used PwnageTool to load a new, clean firmware onto it. Somehow in the process, my phone became unpwnd, and now it tries to get me to activate it in iTunes. I don't have the proper plan for this. QuickPWN always freezes... any help?

yes, I do not agree with that but anyway, to remove it you've got to get ssh access to your iphone from Cydia then acces you "/Applictaions" directory and remove the installer app.

did you have springboard altering software installed? like inteliscreen, customize, winterboard, etc.. when you restore to your backup on a freshly restored phone it will not find the apps it's told should be there by the springboard.plist. I guess that is restored with all your settings. I had the same problem, ended up setting it up as a new phone. next time i will uninstall all that stuff bevor i backup my phone and put new fw on it.

Guys I really need some help. I just used Pwnage to update from 2.0.1 to 2.1 and everything seemed to work with the restoration but now my phone is at the slide for emergency/connect to itunes screen. When it is connected to iTunes, iTunes recognizes it on the left margin but it keeps trying to activate to the iTunes store I guess to activate the phone with AT&T. The problem is that an alert pops up and says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store...". Has anyone experienced this and what do I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

After upgrading to 2.1 on my first generation iPhone and jailbreaking, I encountered a problem with biteSMS. When BiteSMS is installed, all AppStore apps will cease to work (they will open up, and then go back to springboard in a second or two). Uninstalling BiteSMS solved the problem. I have sent an email letting them know of this bug.

For those of you using QuickPwn and not having Cydia or installer show up, you may need to change over to the PwangeTool approach. I was having the same issue, used PwangeTool instead and there they were.

It's been said here and there around this forum..but to put it simply...
If you're gettin "1600" messages..or your phone keeps showing the apple with a spinning wheel hovering over it that eventually freezes....do NOT put the phone into DFU mode (where you hold power/home for 10 seconds and then release power and hold for another 10 seconds)
Turn the phone off..(hold power/home for 10 seconds until the phone goes blank, and let go immidiately after it does. if you hold too long the phone will reboot) once the phone is shut off, restart itunes or start it up if it's not already. Your phone will restart automatically with the launching of iTunes, and it will go to the apple with the spinning wheel...BE PATIENT!!! itunes will eventually bring up your phones information. On this screen, you can do a legitimate restore, or you can hit Option+Restore (on a mac) and load up your custom firmware made from the new Pwnage tool. Once it restores successfully, you HAVE to set it up as a new phone. Restoring from backup will put you back in the endless loop of frustration.
5 hour fight on my end, but i FINALLY got it. I hope this posts helps out...
Good Luck everyone! THANK YOU DEV TEAM!!! You Rock..Keep up the fight!!

wavyj Thanks a lot for your post, I was having this 1600 errors as well and I couldn't figure it out.
I had put it in DFU mode and I couldn't even see anything on the screen on. your tip helped a lot, but I want to post my own experience so it might help some people as well
If you are already in DFU mode (black screen on iPhone and 1600 errors on itunes), hold power + home at the same time during 10 seconds and then release both imediatelly).
Now restart itunes, plug iPhone in and turn it on (power button). After some time the iPhone will be recognized by iTunes, but it wont go trough the apple (pineaple) logo, and it will keep vibrating every 10 seconds.
Hold alt and click on the restore button, chose the firmware file you made with pwnage. Now everything is working fine, I will post again if the problem happens one more time.

not relevant? Are you kidding? With the NDA and Apple's ridiculously failed attempts to complete the SDK to the point that applications can actually do USEFUL things, there is *absolutely* a need for the jailbreak and the jailbroken app community to exist. Two of the most useful apps on my iPhone, Snapage and Cycorder, would be IMPOSSIBLE with AppStore, official SDK apps. Apple doesn't have a clue what it's user base needs, and the SDK isn't complete enough for developers with a clue to do the stuff we need. LONG LIVE PWNAGE!

You probably ran PwnageTool and told it to activate the phone for you. In beginner mode just tell the tool that you have a contract when it asks. or in advanced mode disable automatic activation in the general options panel.

I could be wrong on this one, but I believe one of the advantages of PwnageTool (in collaboration with iTunes and the downloaded firmware of your choice) is that you can up/downgrade to any firmware you want.

I voted in the Engadget poll... I don't know but you guys should know how relevant you are just by looking at the download numbers.
I have a 1st gen iPhone in an unsupported country, and I want to run 2.1, particularly since 2.0 is so buggy. This is only possible because of the Pwnage tool. Without it, I'd be out in the water (and angry at Apple). I am not alone either, there's half a million others in the same situation.
Is the Pwnage tool still relevant? 500,000 say yes, it is. Even if they don't read Engadget.

SIMPLE FIX FOR 1600 ERROR (Mac): 1) Use pwnagetool to make 2.1 customer firmware as usual. 2) Go into itunes and click "Restore" (do not use option, just click the restore button). It will start to download the official 2.1 software update. As soon as it starts to download (it will say "downloading" in the bottom of itunes), cancel the download/close itunes. DO NOT ACTUALLY RESTORE. 3) Go to the folder ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Update/. This folder will prob be empty, but if there is already a "iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw" file in there delete it. Now, copy your custom firmware file to this folder. Next, rename the custom firmware to EXACTLY "iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw". [[Note: the ~ sign means go to your user folder. Do not use the Library folder that's under Mac HD.]] 4) Go back into iTunes and click restore (again, now option key or anything, just press the button). iTunes will now use the custom firmware you copied into that folder and no 1600 error! Once it's done you should be good to go.
Hope this helps. And, THANK YOU DEV TEAM!!!
Wayne
· 1 year ago
This is really interesting,am I right in thinking that in doing what you suggest above I would not have to put my iphone/touch into recovery mode or DFU mode.I can just hit restore as normal because itunes fetches the firmware from that folder.Will itunes be able to tell that the firmware has been customized,will itunes be able to detect my iphone/touch is pwned or will it just restore as if everything was normal.Why has this never been mentioned for iphone's/touch's that are already pwned.I am a bit confused with No.2 though,what is the purpose of asking itunes to download the stock apple firmware only to abort it,is this to trick itunes into thinking it put something in the folder and then you go and put your renamed custom firmware in its place.Any Ideas.

Just an update,I tried this with my quickpwned touch and it worked a treat.Put renamed custom file where itunes thinks the proper file is and connected touch to itunes normally and hit restore and when it was done I had my custom firmware(which I created with pwnage 2.1), on the touch with the selections I chose in expert mode of pwnage.Nice little trick that,thanks Markatl

That worked because you have an already jailbroken iPhone. You also can press ALT on the keyboard and click on RESTORE and select your custom restore file and it will work like a charm.
But if you hava an unjailbroken iPhone you have to put it in DFU mode...

I just used QuickPwn and I must say "you guys rock!". I have a brand new iPhone 3G which comes carrier unlocked by default (country regulations). I had never done this before and was only slightly put off balance when iTunes 8 kicked in and wanted to restore the firmware. I clicked "restore" and just when the confirmation dialog came up I saw my iPhone saying something like "restoring rom" (don't know the exact words, it went so fast and I was sweating like an ox). So I canceled iTunes' initiated restore before it started. A few minutes later my iPhone came back in full glory with the Installer and Cydia added to the pack. Thanks a lot guys!
But now I'm in some sort of conundrum... what should I do next? I looked for instructions and guides on the web, but they don't seem to apply to what I now have on my iPhone. Anyone care to point me to some up to date guides or instructions?

Hi Thank you for publish PwnageTool2.1 so fast, and I have already update my iphone,it's awesome. However,I can't use Wi-Fi and Bluuetooth,could you plese teach me how would I be able to fix the problems?
Osayi
· 1 year ago
The following instructions are for the iPhone 2G.
For Wi-Fi, tap Settings, and then Wi-Fi on your iPhone. Slide/tap the Wi-Fi switch to ON. In the Choose a Network section, will show all available Wi-Fi networks. Tap on any to join that network.
The iPhone's Bluetooth only connects to the wireless earpiece. You can't connect to other Bluetooth-embedded devices. It's Apple's way of preventing people from transferring harmful files between iPhones and sharing music files bought from iTunes.
I hope that helps.

You cannot download the file with safari , you will need to use firefox. Because safari automatically unzips folders which you dont want it. I had this problem also.

If you go into safari's preferences you can turn that option off.
The option is called "open 'safe' files automatically", turn that off and you're winning.

I had this problem and submitted a post or two in this blog about it,you obviously have not bothered to read any of these posts or you would have tried many different options to overcome this.Try restoring to the stock apple 2.1 then repwn,thats what cured it for me.Of course, you will have to already have this 2.1 file on your computer in the place where itunes will look for it.

for everyone who is not able to backup, cause itunes says the ipod is no more longer connected: you have to update your mobileinstallation via ssh. Search in google for "mobileinstallation for 2.1". then upload the file and change chmod to 775!
works perfect with mine!!

The iPhone was working at 2.02. When I updated to 2.1 it got unactivated. But here's what to do. Enter DFU in iTunes : shift+ restore and choose the 2.0.2 firmware. Wait for the iPhone to restore and then quickpwn it...

dload the official ispw and use the quickpwn [follow its step by step instructions] to create a new ispw.
Then use itunes (alt+restore buttin) to upload the new FW

Yes you matter!!! You make my toy fun. Without your work, as others have pointed out, I would have left the iphone on the shelf. Engadget and other mainstream media write to increase circulation, but their opinion is irrelevant. How many people have expressed great thanks to you, Saurik and BigBoss? How many hits do you get in a day? How many people offer to contribute? Unlocked or not, we anxiously wait for the next update and salivate at the possibilities you provide. Look at the voting, there's no question we want you to press on. Even Engadget concedes this. Love you guys.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL WINTERBOARD UNTIL THE NEW UPDATE COMES OUT... Dev team's pwn works perfect, but something in winterboard during a reboot causes the phone to appear frozen showing only the apple/pineapple logo and periodically vibrating. Fortunately i had pre-installed ssh and after trial and error found winterboard to be the issue, after removed via ssh phone immediatly finished booting. Just a heads up to all... Thanks again dev team.
Phossil
· 1 year ago
I don't think this is the case. I ran into the hanging/vibrating issue when winterboard was not installed at all. I was able to fix the issue by setting up as a new phone instead of restoring from a backup (I would recommend backing up sms.db and any voicemails you want to keep ahead of time). I am now running 2.1 and Winterboard with no issues whatsoever.

Do you have winterboard installed because i did have a problem with that.... if not i would recommend loading the original mobileinstallation file on the phone rebooting it then try to load on the file again... if you are stuck on the boot screen try to ssh the phone and remove the modded mobile install file and if you have winterboard or any thing like that try removing them via ssh... it might work

On hackintosh there is a thread giving the repo address to put into cydia that will then place the mobileinstallation file under tweaks section,from there just install it and everything is taken care of,no need for SSH.Works perfect for me on my iphone pwned 2.1
actually if you only replace the mob inst file, it hangs up at the logo i've deleted the cache as mentioned in the first jailbreak guide. Phone boots up with no problem

It did work before with the old software. do you have any suggestions, should i do it now again with 2.1 ?
Thanks

If your phone is being used on the network it was purchased for then you want to make sure you uncheck "activate firmware" when making your new firmware. If you don't, then your phone can't detect the cell network.

the normal cell service like phoning and texting works, just the data part has stopped. i bought this phone in dubai and it was unlocked. then i updated it and it locked and i unlocked it with PwnageTool. all workes except the data service.

I've received the same errors (6), (2001), over and over again...They come up right after I make the custom restore.ipsw file and I try to restore with the file.
I'm doing this is Simple mode in PwnageTool 2.1. Should I try expert mode?

Hi guys, I need help! Yesterday I used QuickPwn for mac on my iPod Touch 1st gen and it worked perfectly!!!!!!!Then I replaced my MobileInstallation file for the old cracked one and all got fucked up.
Ok, then I restored to official 2.1 (downloaded and installed via iTunes), after that I tried using QuickPwn again, and EVERYTIME after entering DFU mode and when is ready to Pwn I get a message from iTunes with ERROR 1621, and then QuickPwn STOPS at this point:
Please guys, what is happening? If I try with Pwnage Tool I can't even upload the firmware (error 1600 or 6)
Some questions: 1- When QuickPwn prompts me asking if i want to replace the original boot and restore logos, should I say Yes or No? 2- To quickpwn, I need a jailbroke firmware installed on the iPod touch before?
Since now thanks a lot guys =)

Here's what I did to get around the 2001 error.
Use pwnage 2.1 to create custom firmware Select "No" when it asked if the iphone has been pwned before Go through the steps to enter "deep" restore mode After you get the ok from pwnage, open iTunes and restore the firmware using the alt key and selecting the new firmware If you get the error message, the iPhone should have a white background Remove the iphone, wait 5 seconds, and plug in again and try restoring firmware again If you pressed the home or power buttons to restart the iphone, you'll need to try the process over again
This worked for me, hope it helps someone else out

Could you make PwnageTools to first check which 3rd party softwares are installed and automatically add them to payload keeping also data, then one could download new iPhone FW and PwnageTools would customize it with the previously had 3rd party software. It is a shame having to reinstall all software after every update or restore.

I was running 2.0.2 with an i-smartphone card in a non-official network and everything was fine. Since the update to 2.1 the phone can't connect to the carrier network anymore. I tried:
-- official update to 2.1 via itunes and QuickPwn -- Pwnage tool with activation enabled -- Pwnage tool without activation enabled
without success. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything special that needs to be done to make 2.1 work with i-smartphone? Any help appreciated.

I got through Pwning, but when syncing, I'm gettin an error saying "iPhone "xxxx" cannot be synced. Unknown error (13213)" this is a translation so I don't know how the exact english version goes. It doesn't halt the syncing, and I don't have to click OK to keep on syncing. Thus, it isn't a major issue, but I'm wondering why it's happening..
Is that a custom firmware with or without activation enabled?...'cause my iPhone is already activated...and if I restore it with an activation enabled firmware (as I've done)... my iPhone wont give me any mobile signal...

QUESTION- I'm a novice working with 3G iphone, 2.1, mac OSX Tiger. Looking to jailbreak only. Everything seemed to go fine but i got no message on the phone for ATT activation, and therefore I got a "no signal" message after jailbreaking and could not use the phone for calls. Therefore, I had to restore to Apple 2.1 and I got the activation message and the ATT signal is back. What might I be doing wrong?

Got a 1600 error trying to restore with iTunes 8.
I've read that it could be probably because the DFU mode wasn't done properly... don't think so because iTunes recognize it as an iPhone on DFU.
Other users said that you don't have to be on DFU to restore... just alt+click ( on a MAC ) and select the custom firmware.
I don't know what to do.....
can anyone tell me what i'm i missing??.
Thanks guys and Dev-Team... your work is amazin and cydia / installer are needed to boost the iPhone experience.

I posted earlier about my same problem.
The phone cannot be in DFU mode when you restore to the new custom firmware.
Shut down itunes and turn off your phone by holding power/home for 10 seconds. release as SOON as the phone shuts off..do not hold it any longer or else the phone will reboot.
With iTunes closed, and the phone turned off, plug your phone into your computer if it isnt already, and start itunes. This will automatically turn your phone on, most likely putting it to the apple screen with a spinning wheel..vibrating every 10 seconds or so. BE PATIENT...soon enough itunes will recognize the phone, and display its information as usual..once it does... Opt+Restore (Mac) and load up your custom firmware.
When it shows a success message (and it better! heh) ..you HAVE to set up as a new iphone. this sucks, but restoring from backup will only send your phone back to an apple logo with a spinning wheel of death. (SWOD??)
Hope this works for you!

is anyone else having trouble with the 2.1 jailbreak?? I've tried pwnage tool 2.1 and quickpwn 1.1. both screw up the legit app store apps. I've restored and jailbreaked with both applications at least 6 times. At the moment i'm actually using apple's 2.1 firmware because it really does fix what they say it fixes. my signal strength has improved tremendously and battery life seems to be longer. no lagging. no app crashing. but like i said, when I jailbreak with 2.1, the cydia and installer apps work fine, the stock apps work, but the apple app store apps don't launch at all. i click one, it starts to launch, then it goes back to the home screen. Help! please! i want biteSMS back! and i don't want to revert to 2.0.2!

I think the bossprefs application (via Cydia) has a feature to do this for you, there's a button in it for "Fix Permissions". I might be wrong, but I think this'll fix them for you. Might want to try that instead of doing it yourself, if you can still launch apps installed via Cydia.

Currently running software version 2.0 from original 2.0 pwnage. Both the new version of pwnagetool and quickpwn refuse to work on my phone. Pwnagetool stops and says that it cannot find bootloader (despite downloading directly to applications folder or desktop.) and quickpwn says that I need at least 2.01 to function.
I'd really like the update, is there any chance that anyone out there can assist us novices with some gentle and polite instruction. Please help.

I am a Windows iTunes 8/iPhone 2G user. I was able to easily update my "Ziphoned" unlocked iPhone 2G from 1.1.4 to 2.1 by first using PwnageTool on a Mac to build the custom 2.1 firmware. I copied the custom firmware file from the Mac to the PC, connected the iPhone and performed an iTunes 8 backup and sync, closed iTunes, turned off the iPhone, put the iPhone in DFU mode, and then Shift-Click Restored the custom firmware when iTunes launched automatically when the iPhone entered DFU mode. The 2.1 firmware was successfully restored, the iPhone was then unlocked by the bootneuter process when the iPhone restarted, and then iTunes asked me if I wanted to restore from my backup. Once the Bootneuter process completed and the iPhone restarted, I said yes to the restore and my data was restored, the iPhone synced with my library and everything was completed. No hassles, no issues, whatsoever!! Easy as pie. I recently bought my first Mac, but everything is still on my Windows PC. After this, I am very eager to finally migrate everything to my Mac. Thanks very much to the DEV TEAM!!!!!! You guys ROCK!

I tried using the pwnage tool but when I tried to restore with iTunes, it gave me a 1600 error. Then I tried the quickpwn which did the trick but my iphone has no signal bars now. How can I fix that? Help please!
Brandon
· 1 year ago
I would try Pwnage again. I received the Error 1600 and as others mentioned here, the problem is remedied by using Pwnage and selecting "no" when you're asked if you have ever Pwned your iPhone before. Selecting no simpy prompts them to guide you through the process of putting your phone into DFU mode. I originally selected yes and put my iPhone into DFU from memory. It went as it should have, but I received the error. For some reason, when you let PwnageTool guide you through the process, it then works. Again, I am not the only one this has worked for. Many people mentioned it throughout this thread.I'm willing to bet PwnageTool takes care of your signal as well. Good luck.

Hi. first of all, let me say "thank you" for such an amazing tool. I am using iTunes 8 in a Mac and have an iPod Touch 1G, 16GB and have successfully jailbroken it with pwnagetool using firmware 2.1, and restoring it into my iPod. I selected not to replace the booting logo, so I still see the apple instead of the pineapple, I do see Cydia and the Installer. When syncing purchased (both free and paid for) applications from the apple store via iTunes 8, the syncing process works perfectly, but when trying to sync cracked apps, I always get the message "The application 'xxx' was not installed on the iPod "XX" because it could no be verified. I tried many things, including downgrading iTunes, but when i tried that I got the message that my iPod needed iTunes 8, so I re-installed it... I read that you have found a way, without needing to ftp the apps, to use iTunes 8 to transfer cracked apps to an iPod Touch running the jailbroken 2.1 firmware... Would you please help me understand how this is done? Thanks for everything and I hope I have described the scenario in a clear way.
bought my first generation iphone in China already hacked in stock at the store.where they don't sell iphones or even have an apple store but macs are for sale everywhere ....walked down street bought a China Mobile sim card ...bam china mobile...the phone is not a brick outside of the U.S...I have since used A.T.T and T.Moble....GO HACKERS!!!.

After jailbreaking using either PwnageTool or QuickPwn, installing BiteSMS causes all apps installed via AppStore to stop working. Removing BiteSMS makes them work again. I guess it's an issue with the jailbreak but with BiteSMS. Just to inform, and maybe get the BiteSMS developers to come out with a new version that will not interfere with other apps.

Thanks for making this possible guys. It's admirable that you expect nothing in return for your work!
As for those of you getting Error 1600, use PwnageTool again, but this time select "no" when you're asked if your iPhone has ever been Pwned before. For some reason you will not get the error if you allow the application to guide you through the process of putting your phone into DFU mode. I don't know why... but when I put it into DFU mode myself, everything appeared to go correctly, then I received the error. After restarting the app and following the DFU mode prompts and countdowns, everything went perfectly.
Also, if you didn't know, Customize doesn't yet work with 2.1.

You guys rock. Amazing work. This was the easiest by far for updating and jailbreaking and I have been doing it from the 1st version of jailbreaking. What even more beautiful is I didn't have to reinstall any cydia apps they ported over. Here's what I did. 1) Turned off itunes backup feature, took 4 hours and still didn't complete 2) Used ibares to do a backup, works great! 3) iTunes update, The phone actually saw me as still on t-mo with the sim card and everything 4) QuickPwn 5) Put openssh on 6)ibares restore, noticed that my space was lower then before update so I thought that apps were just hidden 7) installed bosspref, after this and the springboard was relaunched all the cydia apps were there. all working Took a total of 20-30 min for everything and it was so painless I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. Everything works perfect and I believe I am getting better signal on my 1st gen.

Ok I was having major issues with the logo screen getting stuck and the phone vibrating annoyingly every few seconds.
My fix based on suggestions here:
1 - create custom firmware as desired 2 - install custom firmware 3 - when rebooted, use cydia to download and install bossprefs, winterboard and five-icon dock if you had those already installed 4 - order your dock icons as they were, use boss prefs to fix dir permissions 5 - reboot and restore from your old backup.
That should do it.
If you wish to go legal, I will soon be getting my official 3G 2.1 firmware and plan to see if deleting winterboard and five icon dock makes any difference (I suspect it will).
Hope this helps somebody get some sleep! Saqib.

Hi all! I've been stuck for a long time. Here's my situation:
I've a iLibertyX+ed iPhone 2G on 1.1.4. I upgraded to stock 2.1 via iTunes. I tried Pwnage to create a custom 2.1 FW, and I tried QuickPwn to create a custom 2.1 FW.
I'm unable to get into DFU mode! No matter how long/short I press for the combination, it always goes into Recovery mode. I tried Alt+Restore too, but it always exits at error 6 when I'm restoring a custom 2.1 from Pwnage/QuickPwn. But restoring from a stock 2.1 is fine.
I can't seem to get into DFU mode no matter how many times I tried. Did I do something wrongly? Do iLibertyX+ed phones need to do something more? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Jay
· 1 year ago
Have you tried the 10 seconds, release power button, 10 seconds more before releasing the home button? It fails sometime for me also, I go with 7 or 8 seconds before releasing power. As for error 6, I rebooted and used a brand new user on my computer with admin privileges. Somehow, on Mac OS X it works better than windows. Check also about the iPhone Software Updates folder. Delete it, and recreate it, making sure it's not read only or locked or something. I ran into this also. If this fails, try restoring in regular mode. Just have your iphone running normally, connect, and choose restore from iTunes, choosing your custom firmware. That also worked for me in the past. good luck, it can be frustrating, I know.

· 1 year ago
Jay! Thanks for your reply! What happened was I toyed around with this 7-10 seconds with the Sleep button, and after holding onto only my Home button for 3 seconds, it goes into Recovery mode - much less than the expected 10 seconds!
I'll try on on another new account, but how does this affect actually?
Please help!

· 1 year ago
Changing onto a new admin account on Mac OS X didn't work. The same thing still happened.. Recovery mode (instead of DFU) still happened regardless of how long I held the Sleep button. I tried 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 seconds. All of which didn't happen!
This DFU mode is not working well for me. My friends are experiencing this problem too. I tried invoking DFU mode through iLibertyX+ but it isn't working too! Is there a way to do this without DFU mode?
I tried to restore my phone to other 1.1.4, but I get a error 20 while restoring a stock 1.1.4 from iTunes. Any idea?

Can Netatalk help somehow by afping into the phone and deleting and or swapping some file?

Hi guys! great job on everything.. I have pwned my iphone 3G since the first day I got it to the first release, second and now Im about to go to the third. I will be updating to the 2.0.2 released firmware through the PwnageTool 2.1. I have a question about the whole process though. So right now I would have to go in and put my iphone on restore mode, then press and hold option + click restore and select my custom firmware. Once it is done is good. So my question is, could I tell it to use the last backup I made of my iphone and tell it to restore all that data on to the iphone I just finished pwning or will that pretty much completely replace everything on the phone, (including firmware).
Thanks so much in advance. Let me know.

well, considering many people don't use notes very often, especially not over the weekend, you may have to wait two days to find out what the deal is.
so you DID try a fresh restore...?
does it happen if you restore WITHOUT pwnage? or only pwned?
abdul_hassan

At the moment, I do a full backup and next step will be a restore with iTunes without pnwing the 3G, ... let's see ...
Update #1 a fresh restore brought a working keyboard .. I will now quickpwn ..
Update #2 after quickpwn app store apps still there and keyboard still working... trying to restore the cydia's apps now ...
Update #3 iBaRes restore my user settings, keyboard still working ... trying to use AptBackup to get back my apps for the jailbroken part of the 3G...
Update #4 AptBackup frightened me nearly to death, when it said it was rebooting it did not come back... it took 3 times to try to reboot manually... but voila
THE BEST CELLPHONE (it is a pity to call it like that ;-) ) IS BACK AGAIN
showing all character etc ...
Thank you so very much zini :-)
UPDATE #5 Finally everything worked ... untill I tried to sync with iTunes ... it didn't find a phone ... I think the problem was with iBaRes or AptBackup ...
I restored again manually "by force"..., made a new custom ipsw, got my missing characters back, am syncing AppStpreApps now and after this, I will install a few things manually...

Hello,
I am using my iPhone with my Windows-PC, but I have a MacBook and I am thinking about to do the jailbreak with the Mac. After the Jailbreak I will use the iPhone again with my Window-PC - Anyone here who tried this??

haven't heard of this before. are you using any sim-hacks? 2g or 3g? i recommend a backup and restoring your 2.1 software. we have had zero reports of 2.1 bricking any pwned devices, so don't worry....

hi, i use a 3g with a ismart phone sim v3
Andrew
· 1 year ago
i make the following things:
- download the new 2.1 software - start pwnag and make a custom - restore the custom with ALT in itunes - restart the phone and no service :( (3g in the settings is not activate)
zini
· 1 year ago
i think the problem is the ismart, but try this... try to restore the phone with normal apple 2.1 firmware file. then try to use quickpwn (visit quickpwn.com for windows instructions) to pwn the device. then do ANOTHER restore, but just put the phone in the plain old recovery mode, and put your custom firmware on (this part may be optional depending on your setup).
hope that helps. but somebody like MuscleNerd will be able to answer for sure and likely reply within a few hours.

yup, there is.... and there's already instructions for how to modify the old quickpwn to work with 2.1 on quickpwn.com. it's a little old school jailbreaking style (lists of things to do), but i find it more fun that way anyway.

I spent whole yesterday trying to pwn my non-3G iPhone and had same problem. I've tried almost everything: deleting Device Support folder, copying custom firmware to folder with iTunes downloaded firmwares ... and everytime I get 1600. Then I just connected it (without DFU) and clicked restore button - selected the custom firmware. And everything was OK! I never pwned my iPhone before, so I don't understand it. I've use iLiberty before... (Mac + iTunes 8)

As always... great work the dev team...
Is there any way whatsoever that you could build in a way to automatically save and then restore all your jailbroken apps and themes before and then after the upgrade? And keep the SSH settings in place ? That would be truly awesome as it's such a ball ache having to go through the process everytime! Essentially doing this (http://www.modmyi.com/forums/pwnage/343821-guid...) but automatically....?
Thanks again to the dev team!

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble here with both quickpwn and pwnage. I'm having an iPhone 2G on 2.0.2 and i was trying to use pwnage with it, but after going into DFU state as required by pwnage, iTunes said it does not recognise my iPhone.
So I tried with quickpwn instead, this time it says that it doesn't support the firmware installed on my iPhone. Anyone know what's the problem here?
I previously used pwnage to update from 1.1.4 to 2.0, then updated through iTunes with pwnage for 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. So my phone remain unlocked but installer and cydia is gone.

if you use quickpwn: update to 2.1 via itunes 8 use quickpwn and IGNORE everything itunes says... just wait until the iphone has reebooted. everything works fine then.

Download the above Pwnagetool which supports the 2.1 firmware and make a custom-restore ipsw-file I made de root-file 1000MB and upgraded my baseband; you might beforehand, copy your /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework/MobileInstallation-file, just to be sure If itunes (8) says it doesn't recognize your phone reconnect your iphone and it should be ok The only thing is, after upgrading your firmware, you can't install cracked ipa's, because the iphone got stuck at the standard logo, buzzing twice every 6 or 7 seconds If you, however, rename the .bak-file back to MobileInstallion and trow the copied one away, the iphone starts up normally again. You can ssh into your iphone, even if it got stuck at the standard logo

Running your last Pwnagetool for firmware 2.1 on a iphone 2G all went well The only thing that doesn't work is, when you copy a Mobileinstallation-file to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework It looks like 3rd party applications can be installed but after rebooting it stuck with the standard logo I can ssh into the iphone and rename the .bak-file; trow the copied one away and the phone will startup normally For the rest it works like a charm and the iphone 2G (which I have) is running much much faster!!

Amie88: As far as I know, Cydia's the best source for Bootneuter. Try downloading it from a stable WIFI connection and flash as per settings/instructions in my earlier URL. Just give it a minute or two (for the flash process) and your phone would be up & running in no time.

Yes, no luck with BootNeuter. But Service is BACK to normal ! Here's what I did, in 4 steps, I'd say give a try to the 4th and if it doesn't work, try the others: 1- Reset all settings on phone. -& Restore to 2.0.2 Apple, to start afresh. 2-Restore to a 2.0.2 Pwnage custom ipsw, done in expert mode, erasing all data option enabled. (requires the previous Pwnage tool, 2.0.3.1.) Still had no service. 3- Restore (or QuickPwn) to a custom 2.1 4- I had almost given up. So I decided to synchronize anyway. iTunes asked me if I wanted to revert to a backup made last week, prior to 2.1 release. It was late, I was tired, so I sais yes thinking "at least I won't have to set everything again. BINGO. ! 5 bars service (still in 2.1) . My guess is that it was one or some of the apps loaded with Cydia or Installer. I'm gonna stick to only one for a while, Cydia. I reloaded Winterboard, no problem. Hope this helps ! Good luck. Give feedback.

Does anyone know if pwnage 2.1 is working fine with iTunes 8.0.1 (11)? I couldn't jailbrake my Mexican telcel 3G iphone in any way!. Fortunately, I have made a backup before. I can't understand what is the problem. Everything worked fine, but when i tried to upload my custom ipsw, iTunes check it first and ends up with an error 21. By the way, my iPhone was already activated. I noticed something strange, a few days ago i downloaded iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw from apple and it was about 225 MB, today (October 21) it is 237.8 an keeps being (Theoretically) the same file and version. Oops! is finally writing new rules for 'Cats and mouses'? Who can give me a little hand?

I am working on a DIY component video / composite video / audio / charging dock, but have run into an issue whereby the video out functionality seems to depend on an authentication chip (only available for approved Apple devices) in the dock. Does anyone know how to bypass this requirement, using either software or hardware? I don't know how possible this would be, but even a command line program to toggle video output would be most appreciated. Any suggestions on where to look, etc?
If I get this working, I will be releasing the plans under a Creative Commons license, so that all can enjoy.

I've got another problem. Since a few days my iphone 3g does some really strange things: At first it started to press the sleep/wake button by it own. Often I could see the shutdown window on it (the red slider). But the sleep button wasn't pressed. I could press it and fell that it wasn't stuck or something like that. And then another problem started. The volume adjust buttons did the same actions. There was always a window with the current volume visible. When I tried to adjust the volume down it automatically adjusts the volume up again. Like the volume up button is pressed and hold. But I also can press the volume up button. First I thought about a software bug. So I did a Firmware Recovery through iTunes. But the error still exists. But now another error comes along. If I press the the volume up button nothing happens. :( --------- The only thing what I want to know is: Can I send my iphone to my provider? My iPhone seems to be untouched but are there any clues of a jailbreak left? I want to get my iPhone repaired.

Thanks. I didn't know if this error is caused by jailbreaking my iPhone. But thanks for the quick answer. So im glad to hear that there are no marks left after I did a restore with an official firmware trough iTunes. So I'm going to send my iPhone to my provider to get it repaired.

I guess I screwed up. I updated my working jailbroken v.2.0.2 iphone to v.2.1 and it lost its activation. I then tried QuickPwn and Pwnage Tool with and without the activation switch, but I always end up with a carrier-less phone (aka. expensive ipod). Either it's not activated or it just won't find any carrier signal.
Is there a way to downgrade to 2.0.2? I tried using an old Pwnage Tool version in both Itunes 7.7 and 8, but I always got error 1023. Any suggestions?

Don't choose "activate iphone" from the advanced interface. in the simple, just use "i have a legal contract" or whatever the option says, since I haven't actually used pwnage in a couple of months, but I had the same problem.
your phone is not screwed up. it is impossible to brick the iphone, you can always fix it (short of breaking it with a hammer, then youre fucked)

It was quite a nervous experience to update my iPhone for the very first time since 1.1.4. I thought I was gonna have the same problem as some of the users here have posted. I manually rerwritten all of my contacts (thank gd i dont have a lot) and unsynced my songs, ringtones and pix before doing the update! (I guess reading all 1500+ posts helped). Then reading this site for 100 times and strictly following it : http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=..., I was able to go through all of the process quite smoothly.
Thanks DEVTEAM for all of your hardwork! We all hope u guys never get tired of doing these wonderful things! Don't be discouraged by all those haters who post negative stuff about u. I bet they all have their iphones pwned using this method. lol Thanks again!!!

Wow! I really got to say: Nice job on 2.1 guys! Beautiful QuickPwn interface (on iPhone while pwning.) I guess 'wannabes' like myself want to know what's happening. (Even if we don't understand it half the time! ;-) )

it just pisses me off to see a lot of people asking for the windows version. Can't you just look through the internet before posting your capitalized and "!!!!!" comments?
There are tons of torrents and server-shared files with already pwn and customized *****2.1.ipsw firmwares. For instructions just go to winpwn.com

I have an unlocked sim free Iphone 3G 16GB from Italy. After installing Itunes 8 on my mac, Syncing and using the genius feature all was well for two days Yesterday my signal disappeared and after restart the IMEI number of the phone changed to 00 499901 064000 0. since that point Itunes would not let my restore to any Pwanged firmware version only original ones, and then of course would not let me activate the phone because it did not recognize it. I only managed to load a pwanged 2.02 firmware via an older itunes installed on another system, but still the IMEI number did not change back. the only way to use the phone is with a Turbosim adapter. Any help on how to revert to the original IMEI number so my phone is sim free again as I bought it will be greatly appreciated. I want to thank you guys for doing such greate work for the community.

I think when you finish pwning the ipod touch 2G (which I suspect you are already hard at work doing) you should release it in windows first. For two reasons. First, you did Mac first this time around. Second, I have windows. /big grin/ Oh and third, I've finally gotten around to making a custom boot image and I want to use it. ;)
Andreas
· 1 year ago
C'mon people! I am sure you ALL understand why we do not want other people's custom FWs in our jewels... (NO offense, but I still prefer to just jb the official 2.1FW through quickpwn since I am on an officially unlocked 3G, so please enough with the 'there are tons of custom IPSWs out there' answer. What would you prefer if you were in our shoes?)
So, please, anyone, is there even going to be a windows quickpwn version??
Don't let me be misunderstood; thank you sooo much DevTeam for all your efforts!!!! ;)

Hey Guys, thanks a lot for the tools, you are really the greatest apple dev team ever ... :)
Anyway I have a little story: As you released the Pwnage 2.0 Tool is immediately downloaded it. After creating a pwnaged 2.0 image i restored it onto my iPhone 2G. Since yesterday I used the 2.0 FW on my iPhone 2G. Yesterday I visited your blog to see whats new... and as I saw that you released the quickpwn tool for the FW 2.1 I decided to update the iPhone directly by using iTunes (you must note that I updated a pwaned 2.0 iPhone 2G). So I downloaded the FW 2.1 by using iTunes and installed it onto my iPhone... And now .... the weird thing is: it is unlocked!!!!!!! (directly after the update the iPhone was unlocked, so it wasn't necessary to use the Quickpwn). I thought you'll may be interested how this worked...I surely don't know but it is like say... so if you wanna more information or the pwnaged image please let me know...
I am from Germany and I am using O2... Did you already encounter this behavior?
Please let me know if someone else encountered this before ...

Hi Galaxar, hi folks from the Dev Team!
When I tried your new pwnage 2.1 tool to update my iPhone 2G, iTunes did not restore my iPhone with the customized firmware ... an error 1600 occured1?

Hi Kelte,
I used a Mac and iTunes 8 to update my jailbroken and unlocked (pwnaged 2.0 image) iphone 2G. After iTunes downloaded the Update I installed without using either Pwnage nor the QuickPwn tool... After the data backup made by iTunes it installed the update in a regular way. Afther the reboot the iPhone was activated and unlocked... without using any kind of tools!
Do you still have a pwnaged 2.0 FW and the old version of iTunes?

A small thing that would make hacking the iPhone even easier... If you guys could link to the extra packages needed to run pwanagetool or quickpwn or maybe even let the tools find the needed packages them selves at startup.
Another thing... I run a website called Chaosprojects.com and would very much like to credit you guys on it, by posting a banner of some sorts...

I am new on this, really. Well, I first dowloaded Pwnage Tool and immediatly went to install it on my iPhone 3G. Followed all instructions and didn't work. By this time, I had installed iTunes 8 and never thought on downgrade it. So, I went into QuickPwn at worked just fine, even I has recently downloaded the 10.5.5 OS Update. This is really fun.
What I wonder is... what will happen when the iPhone updates comes? Will QuickPwn still working? I always update the iPhone software, and when 2.2 comes, I will too... But, the Dev team will come with an update for the 2.2 of iPhone software version? And above all: Does this converts into a brick my iPhone the next time I want to update it into a, let's say, 2.1.1 iPhone update?
Thank you all of you!!!

maybe you're using an "official carrier" sim ie At&t or rogers/fido(Canada). in one of the general options in the pwnage tool it asks you whether you like to activate ur phone, if ur with an official carrier, u should uncheck it.

I THOUGHT WE SUPPORT DEV TEAM, JUST LIKE MAC USERS, AND DESERVES ONLY SOME INFO UPDATE IN 4 DAYS. i DON'T SAY WE MUST HAVE WINPWN, BUT ONLY INFO IF IT WILL BE AFTER 2 DAYS OR 1 MONTHS.
OF COURSE, WE HAVE CUSTOM IPSW ON TORRENTS, BUT I DON'T WONT IT CAUSE LAST VERSION PRETTY FUCKED UP MY IPHONE. WE DON'T KNOW WHO CREATED THOSE IPSW, MAYBE SOME NOOB OR ECT. YEA, IKNOW I KNOW, DEV TEAM WORKS FOR FREE, YES WE ALREADY KNOW THAT, BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR US (THEIR JOB OR SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE, OF COURSE), LOYAL USERS WHO ALWAYS SUPPORT THEM , THEY ONLY COULD MADE THEIR OFFICIAL CUSTOM IPSW, WHAT WOULD BE SAFE TO RESTORE OUR PHONES, CAUSE WE WOULD KNOW FROM WHERE THAT COME FROM. I THINK THAT IS NOT SO BIG REQUEST!!!!! <CapsLockMode_Off>

first off id like to thank the dev team for all the work they put in.. and for EVEN providing us with FREE tools. Second off, i think people need to quit being impatient, or talking shyt just because there isn't a windows version yet. Both are two different platforms, and both need different coding. Respect these guys doing use favors for free, instead of flooding their comments with complaints. Its hard to even find errors from users when every other person is complaining about something. anyways, thanks devteam again, its much appreciated

First of all, thanks for the great work, Dev Team.
Second, I am about to jailbreak my iphone, but I do have a major concern: As I know I can jailbreak the iphone by either QuickPwn or PwnageTool, and the difference was that the PwnageTool requires install.app beta was installed before the process, but QuickPwn does not require this.
1. The question is that how to have the installer.app beta installed on the iphone even before the jailbreak? 2. what's the advantage from jailbreaking by PwnageTool comparing doing that by QuickPwn?
Any clarification or comments will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

BUT....I did purchase 2.0 and have since upgraded to version 2.1. The firmware bundle is in ~/Library/iTunes, but Quickpwn can't find it and there is no option for me to tell it where to find it.
Totally stumped.

FYI - Yesterday, attempt 1 to jailbreak iPhone 3G v2.1 with Mac OS X 10.5.5 failed miserably :(. Here is what happened:
1) Download QuickPwn 1.1 using torrent (SHA1 sig verified) 2) Connected iPhone 3) Launched QuickPwn and started the process, get phone DFU mode, etc., etc. 4) QuickPwn UI is very nice (great job guys). Automagically downloads 2.1 firmware for me. 5) I ask to keep original icons and it proceeds to mod the 2.1 firmware and after a while we are off to the races. 6) Uploads new firmware to the iPhone and then QuickPwn reports success. 7) Now the process continues and it's all up to the iPhone (nice informative installer app on the iPhone) 8) I walk away for a minute and come back and I'm stuck at the pineapple logo, sits there, sits there, I wait for 10 minutes until I reset (power + home buttons). Clearly something was amiss. 9) iPhone stick at Pineapple logo on reboot and I now get the dreaded 2 buzz debug alert (been there done that). Phone is basically in a loop at the spring board app. Been down this road before with 2.0.x. 10) Time to restore, again, from my Sept 14th backup. 11) Not going to try this again until perhaps someone has some insight. Restore worked, but icons were all over the place and I have 5 screens of apps now. Not fun.
Anyone else experience this behavior? Please advise. Any insight would be appreciated.

Well, it is kind of hard to see the dev team as relevant when the largest-- by far-- group of users is sitting on the outside looking in without an EASY way to jailbreak. The fact it took less than a day to come up with a solution for MAC makes it hard for me to believe that 3 days later, you wouldn't have a windows solution. Makes me think no one is working on it.
And for all you idiots that think everyone should have a mac, you must not live in the real world. I need to sync my smart phone with my WORK computer, which I have no control over...

I have a weird issue,
I just Jailbroke my 3g phone, and everything goes well, i get to the point where my phone only allows emergency calls, and asks me to connect USB, i presume to activate.
I plug the USB in, itunes fires up and the IPhone is listed on the left side, at the top its saying "Accessing ITunes Store", but just times out and crashes.
Any ideas?

Bit more info, its a UK o2 "Pay and Go" 3g IPhone.
I was using PwnageTool 2.1 in simple mode.
It was ITunes 8 that crashed on me, with an exception.
I have been able to successfully restore back to the factory 2.1, so i shall try Pwnage Tool 2.1 again, see if the same happens.

After updating my 2.0.2 to 2.1 in iTunes i'm left with a device that boots, shows the Apple logo and the spinning wheel in the lower part of the screen (as standard), then shows the spinning wheel in the middle of the screen, half over the Apple logo and buzzes twice every 10 seconds. Never boots completely. QuickPwn sees it as a 2.1 device, installs the firmware, runs all kinds of programs on the phone and then reboots only to result in the same result as before.
What is wrong here?
Thanks,
Ton.

Hey Guys,are u going to make a windows version of quickpwn for 2.1 firmware?All of us "windows ppl" waiting for u so we can jailbreak our iphones!Thanks a lot
William Ordonez
· 1 year ago
I have a 16GB 3G and I’m was on 2.1. I used Quickpwn to jailbreak it. Everything went fine until it was done and I saw that it activated the phone which has caused it to have no signal. I understand that if the method process activates it then it will cause this error. I went ahead and restored with a regular firmware and it gives me the “SIM is invalid” I tried to restore it through a custom firmware and made sure that the “activate iphone” is NOT checked. I went ahead and restored it and still the same thing. I really don’t know what to do. I search around and tried a few things but still nothing. Hope you guys can help me out. I’m really frustrated. I would settle for anything. Thanks in advance!

Back up your phone, find someone with a mac and pwn it on theirs, then backup your phone on yours. They haven't finished a windows version. STOP asking. They aren't being paid to do this, its their hobby and their choice and they haven't done it yet. I hope they say screw it to all these impatient windows people.

Yeah, THAT would be real smart.. limit jail breaking to a SMALL percentage of iphone and ipod touch users.. I have amac at home but need to sync with windows at work and Apple in their infinite wisdom has chosen to build software that is only compatible on one machine... you apple fanboys need to understand that APPLE will NEVER rule the computer world because they insist upon too much control and no business in their right mind will give up that control to a computer company. And as for it being a hobby, how does that stop them from responding about the 1000 messages on here asking about a windows solution? Especially when they get all bent out of shape about other "Fake" solutions-- their word not mine-- out there. It's complete bullshit, just a way for them to be "important"..

Well, who cares, all community will stay at max 1000 MAC users. Not all MAC users really use pwnage tool. So, how many of them left??? No publicity, no "important devs". Maybe it's better they try to develop to their close friends.

Have you guys tried using yoiur phone unjailbroken for a while? Pretty much the same phone. I liked having a jailbroken phone, but after unsuccessfully trying to us some of the many images i donwloaded at the suggestion of other users here, I ended up having to do it the Apple way. And I am actually happy about it. The phone was sluggish and buggy when it was jailbroken, now it is speedy and solid. Thanks dev team for showing me that jailbreaking is irrelevant, if not harmful.
PG
· 1 year ago
The sluggishness and buggyness was from 2.02. With an unjailbroken iphone you are missing out on visual themes and other cool mods like the 5 icon dock. Jailbreaking is not irrelevant and not at all harmful if done correctly and knowledgeably. I'm sure the Dev-Team likes you deeming their work harmful to iphones....... If you haven't noticed, your failed attempts to jailbreak didn't hurt your iphone. You restored and everything is ok! N00B!
AppleConvert
· 1 year ago
Harmful was the wrong word. All I meant to comment on was that the user experience, from a performance standpoint. I've been jailbreaking my iPhone for a while and always found it much less responsive than when it was not jailbroken, which I experienced many times when I had to restore before jailbreaking again because the phone would become corrupted or wouldn't boot. There were only a couple apps I used that I couldn't get from the app store, so while I will miss some of my quick toggles and pretty themes, I am enjoying a stable responsive iPhone while I am waiting for QuckPwn for Windows, although I am in no hurry now.

hi, just got the newest version of the iPod Touch. Thought it was able to jailbreak but I read only now on your website that Quickpwn is not for the "2G" yet because you don't own one..... At the device test it is not recognized. Is it so much different from the other version?
Well it is great, the design is better and you must be careful not to have it slipped through your fingers...... if there is anything I can do to help - i am not a programmer unfortunately - then let it know.

Add me to the growing list of people with no networks available. I had been using 2.1 flawlessly since the day after the the 2.1 pwnage came out and then suddenly out of nowhere, my iPhone is now basically an iPod Touch.
I've tried everything, from resetting my phone to re-pwning to using bootneuter to restoring from a backup my iphone still says l have no networks available. Everything else works fine though. Is there anything else I can do?
Marvin
· 1 year ago
I guess I follow-up my experience. I places my iPhone's SIM card into my old Blackberry Pearl and lo and behold it gave me a "SIM Card Rejected" error. So I found an old T-Mobile prepaid SIM card that had never been used or installed and popped it my iPhone and guess what? It found the T-mobile network instantly and I could make calls to 611 without any problem whatsoever.
So later today I'm going to a T-mobile store and having a new SIM card made for my iPhone. Did my SIM card die (it's five years old)? Or did something else related to Pwnage happen to it? I'm just grateful to have a semi-working iPhone right now!

Let me tell you that after the upgrade of the mobilesusbstrate , bosspref and winterboard on Cydia this morning when I shut down the Iphone it could not restart any more.It was stuck with the apple logo.Lucky that the my Mac 10.5.05 with Itunes 8 recognize the Iphone in normal mode with the screen with aplle logo.So I restore my Iphone normal with my custom 2.1 and now is fine again.Any body had the same issue? Iphone 2G version 2.1
James
· 1 year ago
Right people who are getting the 1600 error- I was up all night making my phone work again so I figure I might as well help you guys that think your phones are bricked. I'm no expert with these things but this is what I did so maybe it'll work for you. Only down sied is you're going to have to add your itunes library again, and you'll loose all your playlists...
Then in order to install it you'll have to delete the Itunes 8.0 application and Library in your itunes folder.
Then install Itunes 7.7 and restore your custom ISPW for 2.0.2 Once this is done the phone will work but you won't be able to sync your contacts (I'm sue there is a way aound this probably by deleting more then just your Itunes App and the Library ie going into the system files and finding the syncing files for Itunes 8.0- It seems when you re install 7.7 it leaves the newer files alone and doesn't overwrite them causing communication errors between the 8.0 files and the 7.7 ones- like I said I'm no expert on this stuff)
However once the custom ISPW is installed you can upgrade to Itunes 8.0 again and the mail/calender/contact syncing will work again.
It's a bit of a pain but it'll get the phone working again...
For those of you who deleted your custom 2.0.2 ispw I'm uploading one to sendspace now...
If anyone has a more elegant way of downgrading to itunes 7.7 that would be good too
Hope this helps I know I was freaking out last night!

After successfully jailbreak iPhone3G to 2.1 firmware, I notice there are two applications.XXX in the private/var/stash directory. I believe one is from my previous jailbroken 2.0.2 and the newer one is from the recent jailbroken 2.1.
My question is: is there any ways to avoid having duplicate applications.xxx folder? is this created when installing cydia? what should i do with the old one? can i delete it? if so, how do I go about doing it? I try to delete it but everything was removed except the folders that comes pre-installed with iPhone (i.e. stocks, calendars, etc...)

Windows users, stop your bitching already! Just download VMWare Server 2.0 beta, install an image of Mac OS, and run QuickPwn. VMWare server beta 2 will allow the guest os to see the iPhone plugged into the Windows host. Done.
I couldn't get PwnageTool to work via this method but QuickPwn did without any problems.

In case anyone else has this problem: After upgrading to 2.1 my iPod Touch hung on the pineapple logo. The spinner would come up for a few minutes, then freeze...then it would reboot and do it all again.
Here's what I did to fix it: 1. Restore to stock Apple firmware (2.1) 2. configure as a new ipod 3. jailbreak it (I used quickpwn...freaking awesomeness) 4. go into cydia and install winterboard - that was the key, it kept hanging trying to start winterboard, which isn't there after a fresh restore 5. that reboots you and may kick you into 'safe mode' - so I used aptbackup->restore to reinstall all the other stuff I had 6. I'm now enjoying my iPod in all its beautiful jailbroken glory

I had to back to Apple standard 2.1 firmware again, because the phone part of the software's device, just stopped functioning. You could open it, but not dial, use the favourites, or recent calls to make any calls. It would would just shut down. So, me thinks, when the phone on your iPhone don't work, its no longer an iPhone, but a PDA and seeing as so much of what's available in Cydia isn't really ready yet, its seemed pointless to continue, for me.
I will try again, in perhaps a month, but I need a tool that is reliable and not something that I have to spend multiple hours on; restoring repairing and resetting, time after time.
If it helps any one, all worked fine after jailbrake. Then installed essentials from Cydia, Bossprefs (a must to stop your non-approved apps from being automatically deleted) OpenSSL and some others I can't name now. And then the next time I tried to use the phone it would not work.
Sees to me there needs to be some sort control & conflict checking, with the apps on Cydia and Installer.
Still, I fully support open apps and freedom, in general, not only for my iPhone, so will continue to work with those making those things possible. And to that end, should wish to discuss further, let me know.
good luck

benlaws

I've had a very similar experience. I loaded a few apps with Installer and Cydia and noticed that the phone app crashed every time. You can make a call from the contacts list, but you can't control it in any way, even tapping the button at the top to "return to call."
I am running the stock 2.1 for now, keep up the great work, I'll check back in later!

Found a solution for this,
Under Cydia. go to Utilities-> BigBoss Prefs and install then go to Tweaks->Re-enable editing APN and install..
it is working fine now.. I discovered that Apple has hardcoded the APN settings for each operator but it seems the addresses are not correct for VF EG their,
good luck and hope this helps,

Hello Guys. I just upgrade to 2.1 and received the same 1600 error with iTunes. I tried like it's written here with iTunes 7.7 but it was not working. I did all the same story again but everytime the 1600 error.
Then i tried to QuickPwn the iPhone over again, and wow it's working now.

Anyone upgraded to 2.1 (from 1.1.4) and used QuickPwn 1.1, using an Optus (Australia) SIM card? Any report of experiences would be appreciated having not gone through this before (the iPhone was given to me unlocked).

I use an Optus SIM in my unlocked first gen iPhone. I was on 1.1.4 up until today. I used the Pwnage tool to upgrade to 2.1 and it works perfectly

One trick to sync you iphone with itunes(if locked out) is to right click on the iphone icon in the left column & sync it that way. it works, but you cant specify any of the options. it will however sync your contacts calender and apps.A work around till the DEV team figures it out. Thanx..

I get the 160 error in itunes 8 and 7.7, i have tried quickpwnage multiple times and every time i get to the dfu mode part and i can not get it to go into dfu the only way i get it in dfu is to have it on and then hold power and home for roughly 7 seconds or right before the apple logo comes up then relase and hold home for about 10 seconds. They way quickpwnage tells me fails every time even after trying to alter my holding times a little bit. any ideas? anyone else have this problem?

ok i've answered my own question (see below) and hopefully some of yours.If you have the pineapple and your phone wont turn on plug it into itunes and restore it using the .ispw file your made originally to jailbreak your iphone, the whole process will take a while but at least you've got a fully functional jailbroken iphone after that.

Quickpwn spazzed out for me. When it asked for me to put it in DFU mode, I did, but then I got a completely white screen for the rest of the process and the device wouldn't restart at the end. I am trying PwnageTool now and hope it works better!
Thanks Guys :)

yeah worked well till i decided to open installer now the thing wont return on. just keeps recycling. only reason i know this is because the iphone 3g vibrates twice when it starts up and mine keeps doing this. I will wait till you get your jailbreak stuff fixed. I'd rather have a non jailbroken iphone that works to be honest.
thanks anyway!!!

Well, I'm still kind of holding my breath, but I decided to upgrade to iTunes 8 and my first-gen iPhone to firmware 2.1 last night, and (I held my breath) the upgrade went fine, my iPhone restarted and (holding my breath) ... it started syncing, finished (still holding my breath) and that's it. No questions asked, no Pwnage tool, no QuickPwn, it just worked, like some others I've read about in the comments.
One thing, though, I'm missing cydia and installer which is not a big loss, since I didn't use them very much anyway. I think that may be the key to upgrading smoothly. If you haven't done it yet and you've got a lot of 3rd party (i.e., non-official) apps installed, go in and un-install them all (you'll lose them anyway during upgrade). I suspect many of the errors are due to conflicts with certain non-official apps.
Still, I will kind of miss Qik.
Thanks dev team, these apps really help me out since I'm using a first-gen iphone in Holland which I otherwise wouldn't be able to use.

THE MISSING MANUAL for people with already pwned 2.0.x phones: 1 - Use Pnwage Tool to create custom firmware 2 - In iTunes, option-click restore, select custom firmware, restore phone with it
In particular: You don't need to go into DFU mode if the phone has already been pwned. You can't use QuickPwn on an already pwned phone. You can use iTunes 8.

It took me a couple of tries to figure out that I needed to download the bootloaders and put them in the same folder as the app but after that it worked like a charm. Thanks iphone dev team. Now I've got the phone I want without doubling my monthly bill.

Just had to say,,,love you guys for what you do, Just now on 2.1.. it seems to be all good! This was the fastest custom restore yet,
Itunes 8 is giving me a "needs to check for carrier updates" Can I hit "CHECK"? or is this a no go? I just hit cancel for now and Itunes opens up and working fine, Has anyone else got this? is the fix out?? anyone??Dev Team???
I see so many people having problems. WHY? no really... if you used PwnageTool before then,It is so easy...
1) Pwnage 2.1 build custom fw with Iphone 2.1 fw 2) Use Itunes 8 to restore custom fw (option-click restore) the one you just built and thats it,,,
these are the same steps I have done each time since I first used Pwnage 2.0 each time,, Same results. 8g unlocked..jailbroken t-mobille Iphone,,got to love it!!!!
anyway to say one more time,,YOU GUYS ARE OFF THE HOOK,,,REAL TALK... DON'T STOP NO MATTER WHAT THE HATERS ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! DO YOU,,LIFE UP!!!!!!

OK ! I got rid of the problem by deleting iTunes 8 with AppDelete (Mac) and re-installing it. A previous attempt by just deleting the iTunes app did not work. Funny, althought all related files were supposed to be trashed (and I did see the folders in the can), all my prefs were still there, albums and all. Great ! Now I can trigger a backup (for restore) at will again. Long live the dev-team!

I used pwnage tool on my 1st gen iPhone because I wanted to use a different carrier on it. It's successfully jailbroken and the boot neuter seemed to flash without a hitch but when I put a T-Mobile sim card in it asked to connect with iTunes. Once connected, iTunes notified me that I was using a unsupported sim card and wouldn't take it. The iphone correctly displayed T-Mobile as the carrier but the phone itself was useless.
Help please.
Danny
· 1 year ago
exact same issue with me. It Jailbreaks it fine. In Neuter it looks and say's it's unlocked. But with the Tmobile Sim Card in it, It locks you out to emergency call only. and iTunes says SIM card not accepted. Please find a fix or work around ASAP. I really want to use my new phone. :)
I think this solved the problem for me. I can use the SIM card from my current AT&T iPhone 3G (I wasn't able to before) and I'm gonna test a buddy's T-Mobile SIM card tomorrow. Good luck!

Back in July, I jail broke my 3G iPhone (2.0.1 5B108) with your pwnage tool and could not be happier with the results. I have downloaded several programs which I love. Now there is the new 2.1 firmware. How can I upgrade to the new 2.1 without losing everything I have already downloaded? I understand that letting Apple install the new firmware I will erase my version. Please help!!! Thanks in advance, Fernando
Can someone please post install procedure. I have Pnge 2.02 and iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Custom_Restore.ipsw plus bundle BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin and the new pngw 2.1 does not open them from Expert mode. Where can I find the appropriate bundle. Googling pnge2.1. and bundle did bring nothing new. Mind boggling that the installation procedure is left to guesswork and luck.
I have downloaded the bl39.bin and bl46.bin and neither are recognized by the pwnage app. Can you please advise.

@ this point, I have found no possible way to make use of PWNAGETOOL for 2.1. In DFU-> 1600 error, in Recovery/Regular Restore-> 21 error (which BTW I have not found any useful info on @ all). Only solution is to use QUICKPWN. It's a shame... but so much better than nothing! :)

This is very strange behavior.. I used to successfully run the F.W image made by PwangeTool2.1 on any 3G iPhone, up until the last 2 weeks.. now all 3G iPhones won't accept that image anymore (and a newly created one). Only method that works is QuickPwn (Mac, or PC). But 500M is not enough for me... iTunes version in use is still 8.0 rather then 8.01.

Have any Rogers subscribers in Canada been able to successfully jailbreak the iPhone 3G with firmware 2.1 while still allowing access to the Rogers network? I used Pwnage 2.1 to jailbreak an iPhone 2G successfully but when I tried with an iPhone 3G (locked to Rogers network) I couldn't get any network access, though the device was jailbroken. My SIM card is for Rogers and the iPhone 3G was bought from Rogers. For those using an iPhone 3G is the Pwnage Tool only usable for AT&T users?
geodee
· 1 year ago
I had the same problem the first time I jailbroke mine. The problem for me was that I had "activate phone" selected in Pwnage tool. Once I turned that off and jailbroke again there were no problems. I guess the phone needs to be activated by Rogers still.

I just had a strange experience. I updated my pwned 2.0 iphone using itunes 8 to version 2.1. Just before I was going to run quickpwn i noticed that my phone was still working, running 2.1! The cydia was gone and all my hacked software but it works just like a legal iphone.
So i updated in itunes without having to pwn again, is that normal?

One bug / issue I did experience with bluetooth adapters (At least Sony TMR-BT8iP). Without unlocked and jailbroken the same device bluetooth adapter is working just fine (Firmware 2.1). After the Unlock procedure, even without installing any other Apps, playing iPod only results into noise on the Bluetooth headphones (Sony DR-BT21G). I can control the iphone via the Headphone just fine. It only gives me a constant noise to listen. But no music.
Don't know if this is an issue only with this special adapter, but it works on the same device unlocked and non-jailbroken. Any ideas. Just want to avoid spending money for other adapters which won't work either.

Itunes 8 says wrong sim. itunes 7 says you need itunes 8. iphoto works flawless. I would also like to load a few music apps that I saw at the itunes apps store. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have been checking around and no blog has been helpful yet. I wouldn't mind losing the apps I have now, which were acquired by the previous phone owner. I do also have a go phone att sim. WHAT TO DO! Thanks in advance, and let's keep amerika free!

Wow 2g iphone fixed... Downgrade iTunes 8.0.1 to iTunes 7.7 - Run QuickPwn and Bingo.. Taken me 4 days to find a way to fix my mess...
I restored my unlocked iPhone with iTunes latest 8.0.1 version and kept getting errors 21 etc.... running PwnageTool... Hope this may help someone as searching Google is a nightmare.. Far to much different information all over the place..

Error! Hi I am getting error 2001 in ITunes. I tried it with Version 8.0 and 8.0 . Same problem. The problem occurs when Pwnage says "DFU Modus" Okay. I am in . If I close iTunes and restart it . Same problem :-(
Any ideas?

Using the new itunes 8.1 on my 3g I was unable to use ipwnage, no matter what I tried. However, a standard restore and quickpwn worked just fine.

Hi, have 2G 8Gb iPhone unlocked and jailbroken (by iLiberty+) want to update to 2.1. Reading various posts here and elsewhere people complain of errors when using PwnageTools 2.1 with iTunes 8. Question, is it now safe to go ahead or are we still waiting for 'patches' for iTunes? The various tutorials look straightforward enough but I really don't want to proceed if the consensus is to wait. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

Hi! I tried your software since it came out for the iPhone (first generation) with software 2.0 and made the updates. Now there is iPhone Software 2.1 out for a longer time and I thought - ok - I always had problems with jailbreaking like errors and having problems to activate the phone over t-mobile germany where I have a legal contract (needs to restart my PowerBook G4/400 several times and change the USB-port from internal USB 1.1 to additional 2.0-port and back to USB 1.1 while freezing the machine several times) - but it worked some way. Now the Jailbreak for 2.1 is out for a long time and still not working in any way. On my Mac I have iTunes 8.0.1 (german). After creating the custom restore file for software 2.1 it is impossible to transfer it to the iPhone on any way. The transfer over iTunes is not possible cause the file is found but not "really" accepted - I can select it but the transfer is denied. Also to rename it showing it is an original file doesn't help. I thought I may try on the PC (Win XP Media Center Edition, newest version, USB 2.0 and everything needed) - but that also doesn't work as some .dll-files are missing on the system while creating the custom restore software. Using the file created on the Mac is also impossible as it isn't "correct" and iTunes on Win doesn't taked it (same like on the Mac - I can select it but transfer is denied; original Apple files work). Looking at the size of the customized software I found out that it is much smaller than the original system software from Apple although having aditionally Cydia and other software included. How can that be? Would be great if you try to fix that, maybe offering a version 2.1B or something like that ... seems like I'm not allone with problems of the 2.1 system jailbreak. Well - you did a great job with previous versions (I couldn't do that in any way, so a big respect) but the actual one is poorly not useful. As software 2.1 has advantages I won't miss any more (icons don't move when updating programs,...) I use the iPhone without jailbreak now, waiting for a new version of your software (and getting angry not being able to install programs like SwirlyMMS, deactivating auto text correcture when typing and much more). By the way - I have seen lots of errors like 1600, 2000 or 2100 and so on but no trick shown in this forum worked.

Pwnage tool and Quipwn don't work with the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. They can't seem to recognize an iPhone in DFU mode properly, and iTunes returns an error 2001. Everyone is reporting this. Are you guys working on a fix for this?

Guys,
Keep up the good work. Although I like all things Mac, I would swap my iphone 3g for a Blackberry tomorrow if it wasn't for your hacks. I am amazed that Apple get away with what Microsoft clearly haven't. Why shouldn't I be able to use any phone I choose to purchase on any network and install any programme I like? The phone networks that Iphone officially supports have created special tariffs that are much higher for the iphone with no speed increase. If I couldn't unlock and hack my phone I'd be paying through the nose for something anyone without an iphone can get cheaper!
Keep up the good work!!

I'm in the same situation as aminahoora. How can I Jealbreak my ipod touch 2nd Gen? I tried using Pwnage Tool and downloaded the 2.1.1 firmware and it said "Wrong Firmware Bundle Selected" I'm guessing that's because it's Pwnage Tool 2.1 not 2.1.1 right? What'd happen if I just got the 2.1 firmware and tried to downgrade my ipod touch (2nd gen) with the jailbreak. Pleeeeease help me! I can't keep buying apps! They cost too much! =P

Hello.. Been trying to jailbreak my iphone 3G version 2.1. I have downloaded Quickpwn 2.1 and the restore file. I have read and watched numerous tutorials for doing the process. When I launched Quickpawn it gets stuck at the first window (Device Detection). It just stays there and nothing happens. I know my computer sees the phone as it shows up under My Computer.
I have installed .NET files, downloaded different QuickPwns, I have rebooted computer and also tried a different computer. I restored my iphone again but I'm unabled to get passed this first screen.
Any help would be appreciated

I spent the last 3 days learning all I could about jailbreaking my pristine new 3G. I decided to use pwnage 2.1 to jailbreak my 3G running ver2.1 of Apples firmware. The jailbreak went great, just REMEMBER to OPTION CLICK on the RESTORE button in iTunes at the very end of the process. I can now run NetShare and use the phone as a wireless modem. Unreal...just think of all the possibilities! Anyway, I can now load ANY program I want on the phone AND I figured out how to do it right from iTunes!!! Now the part I need HELP with: I CAN NOT ssh into the freakin phone! I can do anything else, but no ssh for me
I know the network is working (a whole other learning process...ask me) because I can surf and download with no problem. When I use Terminal to ssh into the phone, this is what I get:
Last login: Fri Nov 21 17:44:01 on ttys000 mobile-166-217-042-032:~ macperry$ ssh root@192.168.10.1 root@192.168.10.1's password: localhost:~ root#
I enter the correct password (alpine) and then I get the above. I have no earthly idea what the correct response is for that prompt
Can ANYONE PLEASE tell me what to do to ssh into my phone???
Thanks in advance...macperry

OK people i was having the same problem and was able to get it to work. Normally you have to go into DFU mode (where the iphone screen is blank) but i was getting the 1600 error too., I then tried the other mode (where it displays the connect to itunes pic) and then restored with my custom firmware and it worked.

Hay guys, I was getting this too. What I did was just use pwnage tool 2.1 to build my custom ipsw. Then I plugged in the phone WITHOUT ENTERING ANY MODE!!! Just leave it alone.
Then restore it in iTunes normally with the custom restore from the drop down menu.
This worked for me just fine.

Could any1 upload Custom firmware for iPhone 3G?
Anyways, awesome work, can't wait untill Win version gets up.
Can someone verify that it works this time, or is there a definite procedure on how to do everything, including backup, activation, etc.?
Seeding, uploading to 14 of 38 peer(s), 4719.15 KB/s
nice work. But im getting an error (6) in Itunes when i try to restore with the custom firmware i just created with newest pwnagetool.
Any ideas, anyone?
Already tried restoring with itunes, then try the new firmware and also tried to do this via recovery-boot-mode with no luck.
//N
I "think" so.. I opted to use your "No" choice when asked and followed the guide to put the iphone in the right mode. Still no success.
I tried it again, this time with no added boot and recovery-logos - now Im getting a 2001 error halft the time and the 6 error.
//N
When you get the error click OK
Disconnect Iphone form USB,
Wait 5 sec
Connect Iphone to Usb
Try Again
It worked for me
This might be overkill, but what I did to get it to work was deleted any backup profiles in iTunes, and delete all apps listed in iTunes (you can download it again for free).
I then went through the Pwnage Tool, and said "No" at the end if it was pwned before. I went into DFU mode, and restored the custom firmware. I set it up as a new iPhone. And presto, it works!
Any news about the windows version?
I cant wait anymore :)
But I'm stll no 1.1.4, first gen iphone, can i update direct to 2.1?
if restore all 3rd party sofwares will be wiped out?
If you want to move on to 2.x, you can either use full pwnage or quickpwn.
The mere crossing of 1.x->2.x will make all of your 1.x third-party software go away, though.
Not working for me....can someone help me out?

You- I only bought a new 3g after knowing
I could jailbreak it! Millions of people have

Could someone please tell n00bs what we're supposed to do?
Download Pwnage Tool 2.1
Use Itunes to Download the iPhone 2.1 update, just download don't install.
When iTunes is done downloading the ipsw go to
Volume/Users/(you)/Library/iTunes/iPhone Updates and pull the ipsw out of that folder and place it somewhere easy to find.
Launch Pwanage tool and follow these basic directions:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
I don't think you'll need the bootloader files anymore. The dev team has removed the need to download those file independently I believe.
I am so confused, though. You said what you said but the clarified
video says that we should download the bootloaders. Then I am seeing a
lot of people having trouble rebooting.
I'm just a regular guy who has managed to get his phone unlocked once,
but I really don't want to brick it. Trouble is, I have terrible
battery life and would love to update to possibly get better battery.
Should I do what you said or follow clarified?

I got the "QuickPwn is modifiying your device" - Endscreen and I am just seeing the Apple Logo and once in a while the iPhone vibrates twice.
Is this normal - How long is it supposed to take?
UPDATE: Okay, it does take quite some time - "felt" like 10 Minutes but now it worked JUST FINE!
So I'm on my 2nd round on restoring it via the pwnage tool.
My phone would vibrate twice every 10 seconds when I boot it up. It would get stuck at the loading screen with a spining circle right in the middle of the pineapple. Unlike Rosenkrieger, I didn't wait. haha.
iTunes however recognizes the phone, synchronizing etc works. But no Home-Screen on the phone.
Any help?
stucked and vibrates twice, Itunes recognises and sync to it, but no Homescreen on the iphone. the phone reboots now and then itself but nothing changes.
edit: I can't even put my phone into DFU mode, I know that doesn't matter if the phone has been pwned before, but I just wanted to start off new.
What happens now is that it still vibrates twice, but my phone would reboot and iTunes would give me an error message saying that my phone has been disconnected and it can not be synced.
That worked, but now iTunes says that it was unable to load the dataclass from Sync Services.
I have never seen that error before.
I'm using quickpn doesn't work for me1
I'm not using any backup and I didn't use many cydia applications.
Now I'm restoring original 2.1 firmware so I can restore then using custom firmware.
I will let you know if I succeed!
Thanks!
THEN I let iTunes install my backup and Taadaaa it works!!!!
ありがと～
That was really quick. Kudos Dev team!
I saw that engadget post and had a good laugh when they mention you guys are going obsolete.
They gotta be kidding!
Once again. Gooooooood joooobbbb
I will seed as long as possible and hope that all users get their share.
I did not think that this went so fast...
Carry on

I thought QuickPwn can't upgrade the firmware, it can only pwn the one that is already on the device. You have to upgrade the firmware using iTunes and then quickpwn your Phone. Or instead use PwnageTool to upgrade the firmware directly with a pwned ipsw (firmware).
Thank you for the spport guys
I've restarted the phone in recovery mode and flashed the pwned ipsw from itunes...
Thanks a lot dev team !
you guys rock !
i can finally use my iPhone 3G !!
THANKS THANKS !!!
keep up the good work
bizarrely, Pwnage 2.1 doesn't seem to recognize the bootloaders i used for the 2.0 pwn..
good thing there's quickpwn..
kudos to the TEAM once again!!
Here: iPhone 2G, allready pwned on 2.0.1
Does it mean that I only have to create a custom 2.1 firmware and restore it via itunes 8 (or better with 7 and after restoring perform an update to 8?)
Can someone please advise?
thanx dev team...
u r #1
That's awesome. Apple should get a clue. You guys rock.
Btw.: I'm seeding with 5Mbit/s.
It is now up to 61% YESSSSSSSSSSS
I too am receiving the error message:
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (1600).
Does anyone know what this means, and how I may go about resolving this?
"if you get the 1600 error, dont put your phone in DFU, just go to itunes and hit option+restore and choose your custom firmware"
A big thanks from Germany!
Rock ´n´roll!!
i had updated my iphone 2g to 2.1.0 and used your tool.
it works fine thanks :)
but i had the problem that i had no gsm connection. do you had an idea why? i had a swiss gsm operator, sunrise
thanks a lot!
chris
Whats up?
"if you get the 1600 error, dont put your phone in DFU, just go to itunes and hit option+restore and choose your custom firmware"
You should consider asking Steve for a job ;)
Is there a 2.1 custom firmware with 2.0.1 baseband yet ?
For those of us,like myself who just couldn't handle another minute of the buggy 2.0.2 firmware and went ahead and updated through iTunes,what is the procedure now?.Do I just build a custom 2.1 firmware using Pwnage and Restore through iTunes as before and in doing this I will once again become jail-broken or is it not as straight forward as that?.All I will change in expert mode is not to install installer just cydia alone and uncheck boot logos,thats it.Can someone from the Dev team please explain....my iPhone is still pwned right?
Will this be fixed in the new 2.1 pwnage tool? I am a little slow about these things and in understanding your recent blog. And I will wait for a direct link for the new tool being that I don't really have experience with bit torrents.
Thanks again for everything. --Seattle
Thomas Ricker is a TOOL!! He made that post because he is less and less relevant every day and desperately needs attention.
The world loves the Dev-Team & PWNAGE!!!!!!!!!
Go fuck yourself Thomas Ricker!!
Thanks!
I've got a 3G phone and a Macbook Pro running iTunes 8 and Pwnage tool.
There doesn't seem to be any solution in switching up simple/expert mode and recovery/DFU mode. Anyone have luck with this problem?
Btw, using 1Gen iPhone on iTunes 8 on mac Mini with the newest Pwnage Tool.
Fuck You iTunes!
Since the problem appears to affect more and more users (check out the newest posts from people with hanging phones), i would love to see a more proper solution (instead of manually hack into the backup). :-/
Mhhhh Dev-Team? ;-)
On QuickPwn, I get a message that my firmware is not supported. The firmware is a custom version installed using PwnageTool 2.0.3.1.
So, should I update my 2G iPhone to 2.1 via itunes before running PwnageTool?
This is great ! Thx a lot in behalf of the Mac comunity for doing this version first ;)
One subsidiary question please, what about "mobileinstallation" file. The one we had to change to be able to install cracked official apps ? I doubt it but can we use the same as for version 2.02 ?
Thx for any answer ;)
Anyways my best suggestion is to give it time, that is a fairly large community and I'm sure they are working with the new firmware now and post about it soon. Anyways if you really like a application after trying it "or use it alot" you should defiantly purchase it and support the developer, because even tho there is major company's on the app store like EA there is still some developers that have to live off what they earn from their work.
"if you get the 1600 error, dont put your phone in DFU, just go to itunes and hit option+restore and choose your custom firmware"
please keep pushing, even if someone thinks this is irrelevant, the continuous interest from others make it clear who's wrong :)
thanx again.
About my iPod touch:
iPod touch 1G
Original Apple firmware 2.1 (updated from pwned firmware 2.0.2)
Where is the problem?
Leo
just a -maybe- dumb question, my iPhone 1st gen is running 2.0.2 firmware thanks to devteam
's quickpwn.
WHAT SHOULD I USE TO UPDATE TO 2.1 ? QUICKPWN OR PWNAGE TOOL ?
Many thanks for your help AND AGAIN MANY THANKS TO THE ROCKING DEV TEAM !!!
I used QuickPwn
1. Deleted the AppStore App and installed via iPhone Appstore again - not working
2. Deleted the AppStore App and installed via iTunes 8.0 - not working
3. Tried BossPrefs Dir Permission Fix - not working
So hmmm, solution?!
Thanks!
Also, you guys are very relevant, I probably wouldn't have even bought an iPhone if I didn't do my research beforehand and ran across the dev team and their work that would make my phone work the way I wanted.
and PS windows versions for the non mac users amongst US would be most splendid......
Basic custom firmware with the logos and Installer.app
http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/21525/iPhone1...
in DFU i get error 1600
and in RECOVERY mode i get (at the end) error 9 and/or 6
Please help
Give us WIndows Quickpwn!!!
Long-live the independant free-thinking iPhone community!!
Please help
but the caller id doesnt always show the name in the phone - it just shows the number
any suggestions. it is jailbroken
I'm also confused on how - or when - you're supposed to download 2.1 via iTunes (and do you need iTunes 8 for this?) and save it without downloading it.
I have the new QuickPwn... just waiting for some dummy step-by-step directions on how to proceed.
And will I have to re-install my Cydia and Installer apps once all is done?
Please keep up the great job you are doing There are a lot of features that jailbreaking offers because Apple won't. Without your work, Apple never would have allowed 3rd party apps and would not have made the enhancements they did to the iphone (you can take credit for this)
With out you continuing your work, Apple wont make additional necessary improvements to the phone.
You have shown them that you can do a better job then they can and you have them playing catchup.
Even the people who don't jailbreak benefit from your work as it pushes Apple to make a better product.
(I had the same issue, but copying it to my desktop fixed me right up!)
do you want to replace original boot and icons. Whay does that mean and what is the right answer
Dave
There is no carrier setting, and the logo is not visible. I restored from backup and tried set up as
a new phone, but no carrier (a few small dots) in both situations.
Normally a menu is presented with a list of available carriers.
I want to restore to the original FWbecause without carrier it is only an ipod...
if u enjoy wat u do
do it
Dumb question but I have a 2g iPhone and wondering if I should enable the "update baseband" along with building the custom ipsw? Thanks!!
For the 3G iphone users it does make a big difference, if they ultimately want to soft-unlock their 3g iphones.
I have two machines and voted on that a-holes site twice to keep you guys around. Please keep it up. Thanks-Seattle
But you let me.
I love you guys. Don't ever let the haters stop you. And plus, your doing it for fun right?
thanks to whoever replies :)
You've already pwned your iphone before, I believe. So there is no need for boot to recover model again.
Simply unplug your iPhone and press the top button to boot it back to normal model. Then plugin back and use the normal restore model to pwn it to 2.1.
Make sure you already have the right 2.1 retore.ipsw file and it is in the right place with the right name.
Some thing like this on Mac:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone\ Software\ Updates/iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw
Maybe this wont even make it...:)
Solution: Use only in DFU mode, build ipsw only in simple mode.
Anyway, it restores, launches, but no carrier is detected....

Hint: If you have a complex image - reduce the colors of it first by turning into an indexed image, and then go back to RGB. It will probably still look pretty good and be much smaller.
Don't let anyone tel you otherwise. We count on you!

I have the old version of PWNAGE tool 2.02, when i check for update says none.
Ok so which software do I need quickpwn or pwnage 2.1 to update my iphone.
just not sure why there are 2 bits of software out there.
thanks

If someone could fire me an email, that would be great. shadow.jubeei (at) gmail.com
Thanks.
I wonder how many people bought iphones specifically because of the iphone dev team - you are relevant to users but also relevant to Apple (sales)
Keep up the good work - this is just a ploy by engadget to get more traffic.
Any ideas?
Great Work guys, faster than a speeding bullet.

custom ipsw + shift/restore or custom ipsw+dfu mode+shift/restore?
Which one should I make if I have a previously pwned iphone 3g?
A quick answer is highly appreciated.
I tried to update from 2.0.2 and had Error 1600 after created Custom 2.1. So I Restored without DFU mode.
Now my iPhone is locked with USB CABLE Screen and i can't to anything.
Whats the problem ??
Updated to 2.1 in itunes 8 on Friday, quickpwned that today, and there is some off behaviour regarding free space on the phone. I had about 7gigs of music and whatnot on the phone and a gig of free space. After quickpwning, I now have about 6gigs of 'other' and all the music has disappeared from the ipod app.
a very few podcasts didnt get affected.
I'm not too concerned as its not like I cant restore the phone, and I've not lost any data but it does mean having to quickpwn again.
Iphone 2G 8gb unlocked and pwned and Iphone 3G pwned...

i lov ur work and ur teamwork....
Here in Ecuador Pwnage is a must and to be honest, with categories and winterboard etc even with an app store i would continue to Pwnage my iphone. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK.
Many people with original not hacked iphones after upgrading to 2.1 are unable to activate their orginal phones!
Maybe You will help us, would be great!
BTW. Advanced mode don't work for me, DFU and firmware build by simple mode - YES, quickpwn - YES.
Some clue how to downgrade to 2.0.2 or 2.0.1 ?

THANK YOU DEV TEAM.... keep up the great work...
Now my iPhone 2G running with firmware 2.1. Thank you dev team.
And i voted on the endgadget thing too ;)
Blessigns!
One question: can you install 2.1 through iTunes 7.7? or do you have to use 8?
I trust no other people with hacks, you have the reputation and the skill to do it right, every time!
Keep up the most excellent work!
And yes... Windows version plix!
And you guys are more relevant than ever. Keep up the good work!
http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/HTTP/161...
and anyone know what the settings under the editing was?
Can someone PLEASE tell us noobs what the pro vs Cons are between Quickpwn and Pwnagetool?
I am trying to update to 2.1 without bricking my phone. I have an already Pwned 2.0.2 first gen iPhone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card installed and working perfectly.
QuickPwn says that my software isn't compatible. So I assume that means I need to create a custom_restore.ispw file using Pwnage, right?
I read somewhere in these posts that people have been able to update to 2.1 using just the iTunes updater? Does that actually work AND keep the phone SIM unlocked?
NOOB instructions posted on some web site would be great for all of us first-timers.
Thanks.
Back Up your phone with iTunes.
Run PwnageTool in expert mode. Once the process is finished connect your phone and restore using your new custom ipsw.
Don't attempt to revert to your backed up iPhone just yet, as it will tell you that the backup is corrupted.
Close iTunes.
Now connect to WiFi/Cydia install OpenSSH and Boss Prefs.
From your desktop install the patched Mobileinstallation file.
Fix permissions on the iPhone via Boss Prefs and reboot.
Connect to iTunes and iTunes will synch your phone as it was before the update.
In the end when you have set the Phone into DFU mode - shut down Itunes and unplug the phone.
Then re-start Itunes and plug in the phone ( no more 1600 error ) hold down alt. and click on restore - click on your " custom restore "
I have a 1st generation phone.
When the first countdown comes iTunes activates its self and blocks QuickPwn. I quickly switched back to QuickPwn and immediately held my Home and power buttons because I knew what was coming. But a new user might not.
So why not make a screen like: "This is what you will have to do now" to prepare the user before he does the actual thing. 2 or 3 piktograms with arrows inbetween them should be enough to get your granny prepared for the fast-paced countdown.
Now, my iPod finished Pwning, I'm gonna enjoyn now, thank you so much for all your hard work DevTeam!
n for me infact u hv made d iPhone usable...jailbreaking is fun...n few apps in cydia by saurik n others r worth donating..so guys just let others talk all d shit...u guys continue to do ur good work...rock on!!
jus waitin for windows quickpwn though i knw its not far away...
-Kunal from India
*UPDATE* solved by reading other post, I entered DFU mode using Pwnage Tool (saying NO to 'has your phone previously been pwned even though it was). Thanks guys!
when will that be out...??
Please tell me why Pwange doesn't recognise my bootloaders or any bootloaders I download. I have tried a dozen of different bootloaders now and 3 different versions of pwange!
Anyway great work dev-team. I'm tired of waiting for the 3G hack so i be updating with this, the drop call is just to annoying,
PLEASE Dev-Team can you explain what the main different is between PwnageTool 2.1 and QuickPwn 1.1 ?
Which one should i use? do they give the same end result or is there any pro and cons? Very greatful for an answer.
Cheers
on itunes 8 i get : The Sim Card inserted in this Iphone does not appear to be supported
the iphone itself has turbosim and show full reception..
any advice?
Before I use QuickPwn 1.1...No more any problem...
Any one have the same problem as me??
Good luck
After I use QuickPwn 1.1...No more any problem...
Any one have the same problem as me??
But, why thanking you if I can donnate you. Just now I'm going to find your bank acount.

Then restored to apple 2.1 and tried Quick Pwn this hangs on DFU with bright blank screen for 30 mins then nothing.
1. General > Enable baseband update

we windows users really need someone who can help us out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First I would like to thank you for such great tools.
My problem is I have done a custom 2.1 with the new tool; however, when I did the restore from iTunes I chose the original 2.1
At this time my phone is locked with the new 2.1, I am trying to restore to my custom SW but I keep getting error 1600, I tried to do with without DFU but iTunes will ask for the authorized SIM.
Help is needed to solve this issue.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm a noob. I'm a mac user and have iTunes 8, iPhone 3G 2.1 and the above 2 downloads. I'm looking for a step by step guide to jailbreaking. I've never done this before. Thanks.
http://www.hackthatphone.com/20/pwnagetool_2_0_...
I had already upgraded to iTunes 8, so I was patiently waiting to see how you guys were going to lick that one. I Pwned using advanced mode, turned off activation (I'm ATT) and the custom icons, and told it I'd never pwned before so it walked me through the process again (love the beeps!). I got an error from iTunes saying it couldn't restore from my custom firmware. I just unplugged, restarted the phone, and it came back just as before, but this time iTunes was talking to it just fine. I backed it up, restored using my custom firmware, no problems at all (total time, about 15 minutes). I restored from backup, also no problems (hooray... first time ever since pwning)!
Now I just have to customize my look and get my categories all set back up. Hope this report helps someone.
Thanks a bazillion - you guys are awesome. Don't ever quit - as I said on MacRumors, the App store seriously needs some competition!!
Great work Dev-Team!
According to this fix..
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/18/iphone-101-canad...
I'll have to upgrade to 8 anyways.
Second.. What did Apple do with Symbolic Links? They changed shit (dunno what, my MobileFinder is not accepting symbolic links as Directories anymore :-/ ) Anyone know what happened and how to fix it?

1. delete all apss @ iphone
2. download all apps via iTunes new
3. doppel-click apps in iTunes and get a message that the can't work on pc/mac
4. connect iphone / sync it
that's all, bye oli :)
as far as I know it is a problem with the DRM.
the problem comes from downloading apps via itunes and via iphone, in future you have to choose on option, only download apps at iphone or only download them at itunes!!
well, do this:
- delete all apps at itunes AND iphone
- restore (in german wiederherstellen, don't know the right word in english) and DON'T install the backup! Very urgent!!
- then install all programm via iTunes and snyc them via iTunes with the iPhone, don't try another way, e.g. to download via iphone!
that's all, if this doesn't word to a hard reset! ;)
be the culprit (thanks @santi!). i've emailed the bitesms folks and
hopefully the work out stuff on their end soon.
I have never heard of this happening. You may have created a corrupted firmware. Try rebuilding a new one.

This method has worked for me if you are getting "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services.
Reconnect or try again later"
Go to my link below, and I guess you have to restart the service. So far so good. I hope this helps a lot of people.

cannot pwn my 3G iPhone with itunes.
I restore pwned firmware with itunes 8. There is no problem while restoring, but after restore, iPhone cannot connect to iTunes and itunes always said a unknown error with a hex number 0xE8000001
I also tried to restore with quickpwn, it works(can also sync with itunes) but it always activate my iPhone automatically, after this quickpwn, my iPhone cannot find any mobile net(3G net or any mobile signal), just like a ipod touch... after this time, I try resotre pwned firmware with itunes 8 again, but still get the same 0xe80000001 error.
Is there any solution for this problem?
OR how can I prevent quickpwn activate my iPhone? because I have a normal mobile contract and I can activate iphone with iTunes 8.
Has anybody any Idea??

Thanks for your guys AGAIN!!

Jailbreaking means more to me than the App Store, so i fully back the Dev Team all the way!
i quickpwn my iPhone3G to 2.1 without a problem, but all the 3rd party apps are no longer there. Did I do something wrong? how can i quickpwn my phone without losing what was previously installed? I did a update from itune first before using the quickpwn.
also, I can install the .ipa files but when I put in the .app files to applications.XXX and change the file attribute to 775 and restart my phone, the apps don't show up in the iphone. Can anyone tell me why? It works before when I have the 2.0.2 but the same methods doesn't work for 2.1 or am I doing something wrong?
[edit] Oh, maybe I should reload the next time before I post :-D [/edit]
don't you dare believing those dumb press comments !
keep on doing this cause Cydia and the ability to keep our iPhones free is the way to go !
I would love Apple to go your way and open their device to you so you don't have to fight but I guess there wouldn't be any challenge left then...would it ?
take care and rock on !
Simply create your new custom_recovery.ipsw package using Pwnage.
Then plug your phone and let iTunes recognize it.
Press the alt/option button to select the restore file, and browse for your new custom file.
Let it recover and resync. This will take almost 10 minutes - be patient !!
You will have to re-do your sync settings for songs, ringtones, movies/tv and pictures. All apps should be installed and functional.
Again DO NOT put the unit into DFU recovery if it has already been Pwned with 2.0.1 or 2.0.2.
Hopefully this saves some other people a headache.
Just a note on the Apple 2.1 update: it does indeed work on a pwned 2.02, but:
- it MUST be on a FRESH restore of Apple' s 2.02 from iTunes 7.x
- THEN pwn it via Pwnage Tool or QuickPwn
- THEN attempt the 2.1 from iTunes 8
Data preservation was not possible for me in the process (maybe because I'm a non-hacking dork), as existing personal data restorz kept breaking the the 2.1 update-ability. I eventually kept it fresh and re-synced when I was done.
It will be interesting to see if I can has Apple firmwarz through iTunes going forward this way.
Dev team,
Thank you for getting this released already. I am happily running my iphone without auto correct which miss spells my name every time I type it and now I can stare at something other than a black background :)
Keep up the good work!
Is the baseband repsonsible for radio reception of the phone?
so I did the 2.1 with this new ownage tool and all is great! what a treat to have a new phone but...please tell me what am i doing wrong as itunes8 says it cannot install any of my hacked apps- it states cannot install as apps cannot be verified.PLEASE HELP/chime in with some info.i did not do mobileinstallation file mod as nerdmuscle said just let cydia handle it, i did install a free app from appstore.
You are the best. 1 day now !!
I have made a complete turorial in french for whose have some problems or want help (my site).
I was able to install ipa using itune8 by replacing mobileinstallation using wincp.
however, i am having the problem of having the application show up if they are .app files and place in the applications.xxx folder and changing the attribute to 775 which worked before with 2.0.2
In Cydia search for a program called "CacheDel" install and run it and it should show hacked apps that you copied into your Applications folder. This worked for me but the only catch is you have to run this program after every hacked application installation.
Let me know if this works?
Unsheeple.
I don't see the problem you suggested in Cydia.
So this is the only way to have the hacked program show up on your iphone? Previously, all i had to do was to make to documents folder and set the attribute to 777 and then drag the .app to applications and change them to 775. Have you ever tried that?
thanks
If you can't find the program all you have to do is delete the following file after each app install:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist
that is all the CacheDel app did.
Hope this helps.
Unsheeple.
it worked. Thanks.

My iPod touch is now at 2.1 but locked up again.
could anyone help me with a problem, i have upgraded via quickpwn to 2.1 but now my email app wont open (apple mail) it just seem to crash and go back to the home screen, anyone with any suggestions?
thanks have a great weekend
2G, 2.1.0, some AppStore apps, no Cydia installs (worked fine with 2.0.1)
What is the process of upgrading to 2.1 on a jailbroken phone? It was broken QuickPwn on mac. Should the phone be restored first? How is this done? Sorry if this was answered already, if so can't anyone point me in the right direction.
Voted and people obviously love your work as it is a land slide!
Love the new QikPWN the new grphics as you install on the iPhone and the new option to leave Logos as they are.
Fast efficient looking beautiful and reliable

THANKS SO MUCH
I kept getting 1600 error all the time even i switched from my mac to my brother's pc. Just i was about to give up and close my mac i gave it a last try and it started to work like normally.
I did nothing on purpose. Maybe a combination on pushing the buttons did something or it was just luck. I don't know but I'm very happy know. Hope that all of you that get silly errors will soon be ok.
It has been restored know and everything seems to work ok.
I never got errors before from PwnageTool. But it is certain that there is a huge bug that gives this error. Or else why would all these people struggle during in the process.
Hope that iPhone Dev. Team will update PwnageTool and fix this crazy bug. Anyway. Nice work fellas.
You guys are verimportant to us all in thew iPhone community and you are exceptional in what you do.
please help
thanks
Went through the normal process again (ie. creating 'Documents' folders, setting 777 permissions, putting up a patched MobileInstallation (775) file in its right place, rebooting etc...) however, none of the installed apps (AppStore & cracked) seem to work.
Whenever I open an app it just quits to Springboard within 2 seconds. I tried putting the new 2.1 MobileInstallation file from the post above as well but nothing works.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
Wont be able to sleep tonight....
Update:
--------
I just found out that the apps installed through iTunes crash not because of the MobileInstallation file. I made a complete reformat on my iPhone, installed a couple of AppStore apps, they worked fine. Right after this I installed biteSMS from Cydia, came back to Springboard and discovered that all the AppStore apps are crashing. Does this have something to do with Cydia or the new jailbreak ??
PS : skyful of thanks to devteam for keeping us up !

when it got done there was an apple on the screen and the loading circle inside it.
now it vibrates every few seconds and wont do anything.
then i tried restoring to 2.0.2 and that doesnt work either, it stays on "preparing iphone software for restore" forever and when it finally gets done, it says iphone could not be restored.

i will note that the phone turned on fine and i was able to use it, it was only until i restored the last backup that it had an issue...
i'll reply when i get that finished.
i was so excited about AptBackup too - would have made it so easy to get up and running - maybe that's what caused it?
then stays on the connect to itunes screen
i would search google to see if anyone else is having the same problem.
good luck.
You all rock. Without you guys Iphone experience would have been as fun. Keep up your great work. You guys all are doing an awesome job.
I just wanted to say the something really weird happened to my iphone. I own a 2g iphone (8gb). I pwanged it using the 2.0.2 custom firmware fw recently. It was all working fine with some glitches here and there which didnt bother me a lot. I then decided to upgrade to 2.1 today so I backed up my iphone and downloaded the new pwange tool. I also then upgraded to 2.1 original firmware from itunes. But the strange thing is I still have my phone unlocked and all apps have been restored by itunes itself. Though my vodafone sim was already in the phone (am in UK) the itunes have detected as the sim not recognised but it said nothing... I checked the fw info it says I have 2.1 (5F136). Dunno whats going on. All my applications are still there but not cydia and installer. Whats going on?
Do I need to build a custom fw to get the cydia and installer back? Is my iphone permantly unlocked?
Any thoughts would be great.

Many thanks for helping us out!!!!

Much mahalo to the devteam!
Will the 2.1 Pwnage tool allow me to use a 3G phone with T-Mobile?
Thanks!

Hope someone answers!
I did a quickpwn to 2.1 repairing permissions on my ipod with the bossprefs didn't help.
Any idea?
The whole jaulbreaking gives me (and a lot others) somthing the app store could never do.. we love you guys, don't listen to the people telling you that you aren't relevant.. you VERY much are!

Rock on Dudes
Don't throw in the towel. Stuff like BossPrefs, Winterboard, BiteSMS and others too many to mention, would be sorely missed, although Bitesms seems to be causing problems right now. Hope it's fixed soon, although I did find a work around that works.

It is Apple that has to keep up with you and not the other way around.
You are the one's that are keeping the bastard's honest.
Aflter DFU mode the screen turn in white (without de apple logo), the app continue with the process but the phone not.
Why? O_o
When its made your custom firmware and you have put your password it will ask you two question.
1. do you have a itunes account that assist ( something like that) click no.
Then put it into dfu mode and load it on itunes like normal it should work.
1. General > Enable baseband update
- should I enable? Why? What exactly does it do? Why is it not enabled by default?
2. Bootneuter > Update bootloader
- should I enable? Why? What exactly does it do? Why is it not enabled by default?
2. Yes, you should. Check out http://wikee.iphwn.org/sgold_bootrom:bootneuter
i had already powned my phone...so at first i answered YES and followed steps and i got error 1600
in order to avoid this...when it says, have you every powned your cell phone before, SAY NOOOO...even if you have...and it worked perfectly...dont know why, just do it...
Thanks again Dev Team! I'm going to go kick engadget in the balls!
Short Version:
1600? Use Quickpawn.
Thanks devteam!
Confirming what Bö said 7 hours ago
swapped out local Virgin Oz SIM for original (unactivated) AT&T, ran normal update thru iTunes 8 Mac
after update was complete, swapped Virgin SIM back in, all works fine, no need to re-pwnage or anything.
NOTE: Installer and Cedia have vanished, for the moment presuming I am unocked but not pwned anymore but everything works 100%, setting intact etc etc
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! and Dont listen to idiots who dont think pwnage is needed anymore!!!
THERE ALWAYS WILL BE!!!!:D THANK YOU SO MUCH!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!
I had a pwnd 2.0.2 iPhone, then I updated to 2.1 via iTunes 8, then used QuickPWN. I couldn't SSH into my phone so I used PwnageTool to load a new, clean firmware onto it. Somehow in the process, my phone became unpwnd, and now it tries to get me to activate it in iTunes. I don't have the proper plan for this.
QuickPWN always freezes... any help?
Downloaded both Quickpwn and Pwnage Tool, download firmware 5F137.
I tried everything and all the helps available here in the comments, I'm getting always error 1600 and error 6. I can't use Quickpwn because I doesn't detect the firmware, If someone could teach me how to use I would be very pleased.
Since now thanks
good Luck PascualCM
Windows users are people too, we require jailbreak))))))))
I even tried deleting iTunes 8 and pwning back to 2.0.2 (with iTunes 7.7) and restoring to my backups, but no luck.. I get hung up at the boot screen every time...
I had the same problem, ended up setting it up as a new phone.
next time i will uninstall all that stuff bevor i backup my phone and put new fw on it.
Thanks before hand.
your comment about bite sms sorted my problem!
Massive thanks to dev-team:-)
Kindly let us know when can we have Windows version for iPhone 2.1 Firmware?
T-zones hack works
Many of us still are wanting Sim-Unlock. If you are not close, can we help by using a distributed brute force attack?
You have thousands if not millions that are willing to help.
Thanks again.
im a noob with this, i just bought my phone a couple of weeks ago, and i have now firmware 2.1 on my phone, is it safe to quickpwn it?

This is a great update!
The only thing, that won't work for me is the ipod function of my iPhone 1G...
Everytime, I try to start the Music Player, the App just crashes and the phone returns to the main screen!
Any hints?
Thanks!
srslythx!
I try with anySIM and without anySIM. Its not working -(
I cant fix it and i do downgrade 2.0.2 version.
I was just charging my old Nokia E70 after attempting to update to 2.0.2. I ended up with an unlocked but jailed 2.1 phone with no email capability. Then after attempting to roll back to my Pwned 2.0 firmware i received dreaded 6, and 16xx errors!
NOW I HAVE 2.1 PWNED! THANKS~!!
100% DEV TEAM SUPPORT............
If you're gettin "1600" messages..or your phone keeps showing the apple with a spinning wheel hovering over it that eventually freezes....do NOT put the phone into DFU mode (where you hold power/home for 10 seconds and then release power and hold for another 10 seconds)
Turn the phone off..(hold power/home for 10 seconds until the phone goes blank, and let go immidiately after it does. if you hold too long the phone will reboot) once the phone is shut off, restart itunes or start it up if it's not already.
Your phone will restart automatically with the launching of iTunes, and it will go to the apple with the spinning wheel...BE PATIENT!!! itunes will eventually bring up your phones information. On this screen, you can do a legitimate restore, or you can hit Option+Restore (on a mac) and load up your custom firmware made from the new Pwnage tool. Once it restores successfully, you HAVE to set it up as a new phone. Restoring from backup will put you back in the endless loop of frustration.
5 hour fight on my end, but i FINALLY got it. I hope this posts helps out...
Good Luck everyone!
THANK YOU DEV TEAM!!! You Rock..Keep up the fight!!
I had put it in DFU mode and I couldn't even see anything on the screen on. your tip helped a lot, but I want to post my own experience so it might help some people as well
If you are already in DFU mode (black screen on iPhone and 1600 errors on itunes), hold power + home at the same time during 10 seconds and then release both imediatelly).
Now restart itunes, plug iPhone in and turn it on (power button). After some time the iPhone will be recognized by iTunes, but it wont go trough the apple (pineaple) logo, and it will keep vibrating every 10 seconds.
Hold alt and click on the restore button, chose the firmware file you made with pwnage. Now everything is working fine, I will post again if the problem happens one more time.
Thank You again
It is very great job
I have upgraded to 2.1 and everything works fine except my phone i cant call or text anyone because the iphone for some reason cant pick up the network.
someone help please
And in answer to the update question, hell yes, full speed ahead!
Thank you dev team, you really rock.
Everything works fine on my "old" 1G iPhone upgraded to 2.1
Installing apps and the (never ending) backup is now finally fast.
Great work, keep it up!
Thank you
Any solution please?
I have a 1st gen iPhone in an unsupported country, and I want to run 2.1, particularly since 2.0 is so buggy. This is only possible because of the Pwnage tool. Without it, I'd be out in the water (and angry at Apple). I am not alone either, there's half a million others in the same situation.
Is the Pwnage tool still relevant? 500,000 say yes, it is. Even if they don't read Engadget.
thank you
1) Use pwnagetool to make 2.1 customer firmware as usual.
2) Go into itunes and click "Restore" (do not use option, just click the restore button). It will start to download the official 2.1 software update. As soon as it starts to download (it will say "downloading" in the bottom of itunes), cancel the download/close itunes. DO NOT ACTUALLY RESTORE.
3) Go to the folder ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Update/. This folder will prob be empty, but if there is already a "iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw" file in there delete it. Now, copy your custom firmware file to this folder. Next, rename the custom firmware to EXACTLY "iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw". [[Note: the ~ sign means go to your user folder. Do not use the Library folder that's under Mac HD.]]
4) Go back into iTunes and click restore (again, now option key or anything, just press the button). iTunes will now use the custom firmware you copied into that folder and no 1600 error! Once it's done you should be good to go.
Hope this helps. And, THANK YOU DEV TEAM!!!
But if you hava an unjailbroken iPhone you have to put it in DFU mode...
has still the issue with "iPhone cannot by synced. The required disk cannot be found" after I copied 8GB of data(music, videos)
and then restore again with no succes(error 6) (need do downgrade 1.1.4 and again)
it is crazy.
thanks for you guys, you do great work! but there is a mess i think in secret memory in iphone ... i dont know wha could be wrong...since 2.0.x i have this problems with iphone:(
thanks again
Should we call YOU a looser?
I wont. I don't believe you are, but I do believe you have a problem with not believing in yourself which turns into anger, which you let out here and probably other places. Get some manners man--take a Xanax, shoot some heroin, just be nice. We are all just people.
But now I'm in some sort of conundrum... what should I do next? I looked for instructions and guides on the web, but they don't seem to apply to what I now have on my iPhone. Anyone care to point me to some up to date guides or instructions?
Can anybody tell me something about the 3G-unlock??? When will the DevTeam release the 3G-unlock???
GREAT WORK DEVTEAM!!!!!
Thank you for publish PwnageTool2.1 so fast, and I have already update my iphone,it's awesome.
However,I can't use Wi-Fi and Bluuetooth,could you plese teach me how would I be able to fix the problems?
For Wi-Fi, tap Settings, and then Wi-Fi on your iPhone. Slide/tap the Wi-Fi switch to ON. In the Choose a Network section, will show all available Wi-Fi networks. Tap on any to join that network.
The iPhone's Bluetooth only connects to the wireless earpiece. You can't connect to other Bluetooth-embedded devices. It's Apple's way of preventing people from transferring harmful files between iPhones and sharing music files bought from iTunes.
I hope that helps.
i got this 1600 error ! and this solution worked for me too...... when it says, have you every powned your cell phone before, SAY NO ! and enter in Restore mode with the help of pwnage tool and restore the costume firmware..
thank you Dev Team :)
Again thanks for your brilliant work!
I'm still saving to afford a Mac (It's quite costly here in DK) so could someone pls. post a custom.ipsw for the 2.1 FW ? ..or maybe tell me when my Wintendo will be supported.

When I download the restore.ipsw file to modify, I unzip it and it shows as a folder on my desktop instead of as the correct format... Tried to use it in Pwnage Tool but it is rejected.
What am I doing wrong there?
Thanks for you help and a big thank to the Team for the amazing work (I have an unlocked/jjailbroken G2 2.0.2).
The option is called "open 'safe' files automatically", turn that off and you're winning.
I use an iPhone (non 3G) in an unsupported country and wanted to run 2.1...
Just ran QuickPwn and the Magic Happened !!!
FANTASTIC !!!
Where Apple most certainly makes this World more miserable as it needs to be with all their tricks trying to prevent Open Use of this fantastic device, YOU GUYS MOST DEFINITELY MAKE THE SUN SHINE FOR ALL iPhone USDERS LEFT IN THE DARK !!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE EFFORTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS !!!
windows version anytime soon for quickpwn?
And then I tried to activate+jailbreak with the quickpwn version released for Windows (I got it from hackint0sh) but it seems to jailbreak 2.1 only (not activate) so I had to restore back and I can only make and receive calls now.
I'm not panicking, I just don't like to see the iPhone sitting there useless !! :(
Grateful to anyone who helps...
works perfect with mine!!

thanks a lot! For me everything works perfect:

SIM Cloned --> everything works very very well!
I had 2.0.1 before and now 2.1 with cydia and co!
I downgraded back to 2.0.2 and jailbroke + activated it. It worked.
I updated to 2.1 to be able to restore from backup using iTunes but it was unactivated :@
But here's what to do.
Enter DFU
in iTunes : shift+ restore and choose the 2.0.2 firmware.
Wait for the iPhone to restore and then quickpwn it...
I've got the same 1600 error on iTunes 8 using a mac under leopard.
After the restore say that you will register a new Device (even if you take the old name) you will loose all settings like language etc but nothing synch from iCal AddressBook etc.
After this step you can newly QuickPWN your Device...
Have a Good Day

I guess u r a mac user
dload the official ispw and use the quickpwn [follow its step by step instructions] to create a new ispw.
Then use itunes (alt+restore buttin) to upload the new FW
ENJOY!!
REMEBER TO WAIT AS LONG AS IT TAKS TO COMPLETE THE UPDATE DO NOT DISCONNECT!
And i might add, i've been using the new 2.1 jb for about a day now, with no problems at all. Much faster than 2.0.1.
1. Upgrade with iTunes 8 to Firmware 2.1 (you only loose cydia apps)
2. Pwn with Quickpwn
3.Reinstall your cydia apps. (All my gba's still where on the phone)
4.You're done
Keep up the good work.. love you guys.!
or just remove the line that contains your iphone ip
upgrade to itunes 8
connect the iphone ( normally , no need to put it in dfu mode )
click shift+restore ( windows ) or alt/option+ restore (mac)
select the custom firmware
wait and watch
What elese can I do.
(Thanks for the reply)
upgraded itunes on windows to 8
tried the dfu mode install and got 1600 error , after getting frustrated i did a normal restore in non dfu mode using itunes 8 and it worked like a charm for me
This is a great update!
The only thing, that won't work for me is the ipod function of my iPhone 1G...
Everytime, I try to start the Music Player, the App just crashes and the phone returns to the main screen!

I will patiently carry on waiting for the baseband hack, thus I can upgrade my I-Phone Pod (without telephone function) to a full- working telephone. Thanks so far for your excellent work...
That'll work

Phone boots up with no problem
I have used the tool with 2.0 and my iPhone works now except that i cannot use the celluar provider for data, it says that the phone cannot detect data service or that i am not suscribed to it. It did work before with the old software.
do you have any suggestions, should i do it now again with 2.1 ?
Thanks
all workes except the data service.
thanks
Thanks for sharing with all of us.
iPhone 2.1 firmware
iTunes 8
I've received the same errors (6), (2001), over and over again...They come up right after I make the custom restore.ipsw file and I try to restore with the file.
I'm doing this is Simple mode in PwnageTool 2.1. Should I try expert mode?
Any advice and suggestions would be VERY appreciated.
Ok, then I restored to official 2.1 (downloaded and installed via iTunes), after that I tried using QuickPwn again, and EVERYTIME after entering DFU mode and when is ready to Pwn I get a message from iTunes with ERROR 1621, and then QuickPwn STOPS at this point:
"Sending WTF.s5l8900xall.RELEASE.dfu ..."
57 KB / 57 KB
Please guys, what is happening? If I try with Pwnage Tool I can't even upload the firmware (error 1600 or 6)
Some questions: 1- When QuickPwn prompts me asking if i want to replace the original boot and restore logos, should I say Yes or No? 2- To quickpwn, I need a jailbroke firmware installed on the iPod touch before?
Since now thanks a lot guys =)
Use pwnage 2.1 to create custom firmware
Select "No" when it asked if the iphone has been pwned before
Go through the steps to enter "deep" restore mode
After you get the ok from pwnage, open iTunes and restore the firmware using the alt key and selecting the new firmware
If you get the error message, the iPhone should have a white background
Remove the iphone, wait 5 seconds, and plug in again and try restoring firmware again
If you pressed the home or power buttons to restart the iphone, you'll need to try the process over again
This worked for me, hope it helps someone else out
Thank you.
ask the question which SHA1 it should be..
then find the file with the SHA1 that it must be
that will work
when quickpwn will be released for windows??
um, i know this is all straight forward for OSX mac users but what about 2.1 jailbreaks for windows users? thanks!
-- official update to 2.1 via itunes and QuickPwn
-- Pwnage tool with activation enabled
-- Pwnage tool without activation enabled
without success. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything special that needs to be done to make 2.1 work with i-smartphone? Any help appreciated.

I laughed at how you tried to bypass rapidshare's wait time.
Copying the link isn't going to make it direct.
LOL
I've read that it could be probably because the DFU mode wasn't done properly... don't think so because iTunes recognize it as an iPhone on DFU.
Other users said that you don't have to be on DFU to restore... just alt+click ( on a MAC ) and select the custom firmware.
I don't know what to do.....
can anyone tell me what i'm i missing??.
Thanks guys and Dev-Team... your work is amazin and cydia / installer are needed to boost the iPhone experience.
:)
The phone cannot be in DFU mode when you restore to the new custom firmware.
Shut down itunes and turn off your phone by holding power/home for 10 seconds. release as SOON as the phone shuts off..do not hold it any longer or else the phone will reboot.
With iTunes closed, and the phone turned off, plug your phone into your computer if it isnt already, and start itunes. This will automatically turn your phone on, most likely putting it to the apple screen with a spinning wheel..vibrating every 10 seconds or so. BE PATIENT...soon enough itunes will recognize the phone, and display its information as usual..once it does... Opt+Restore (Mac) and load up your custom firmware.
When it shows a success message (and it better! heh) ..you HAVE to set up as a new iphone. this sucks, but restoring from backup will only send your phone back to an apple logo with a spinning wheel of death. (SWOD??)
Hope this works for you!
I've tried pwnage tool 2.1 and quickpwn 1.1. both screw up the legit app store apps. I've restored and jailbreaked with both applications at least 6 times. At the moment i'm actually using apple's 2.1 firmware because it really does fix what they say it fixes. my signal strength has improved tremendously and battery life seems to be longer. no lagging. no app crashing. but like i said, when I jailbreak with 2.1, the cydia and installer apps work fine, the stock apps work, but the apple app store apps don't launch at all. i click one, it starts to launch, then it goes back to the home screen. Help! please! i want biteSMS back! and i don't want to revert to 2.0.2!
Try to set them to 775 using cyberduck or WinSCP.

I'd really like the update, is there any chance that anyone out there can assist us novices with some gentle and polite instruction. Please help.
Thank you for your great work! :)
As for those of you getting Error 1600, use PwnageTool again, but this time select "no" when you're asked if your iPhone has ever been Pwned before. For some reason you will not get the error if you allow the application to guide you through the process of putting your phone into DFU mode. I don't know why... but when I put it into DFU mode myself, everything appeared to go correctly, then I received the error. After restarting the app and following the DFU mode prompts and countdowns, everything went perfectly.
Also, if you didn't know, Customize doesn't yet work with 2.1.
What????
1) Turned off itunes backup feature, took 4 hours and still didn't complete 2) Used ibares to do a backup, works great! 3) iTunes update, The phone actually saw me as still on t-mo with the sim card and everything 4) QuickPwn 5) Put openssh on 6)ibares restore, noticed that my space was lower then before update so I thought that apps were just hidden 7) installed bosspref, after this and the springboard was relaunched all the cydia apps were there. all working
Took a total of 20-30 min for everything and it was so painless I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. Everything works perfect and I believe I am getting better signal on my 1st gen.
My fix based on suggestions here:
1 - create custom firmware as desired
2 - install custom firmware
3 - when rebooted, use cydia to download and install bossprefs, winterboard and five-icon dock if you had those already installed
4 - order your dock icons as they were, use boss prefs to fix dir permissions
5 - reboot and restore from your old backup.
That should do it.
If you wish to go legal, I will soon be getting my official 3G 2.1 firmware and plan to see if deleting winterboard and five icon dock makes any difference (I suspect it will).
Hope this helps somebody get some sleep!
Saqib.
All apps crash.
Will there be a simple fix or is there something I have to do?
If that is the problem then I am kind of screwed, no?
I've a iLibertyX+ed iPhone 2G on 1.1.4. I upgraded to stock 2.1 via iTunes.
I tried Pwnage to create a custom 2.1 FW, and I tried QuickPwn to create a custom 2.1 FW.
I'm unable to get into DFU mode! No matter how long/short I press for the combination, it always goes into Recovery mode. I tried Alt+Restore too, but it always exits at error 6 when I'm restoring a custom 2.1 from Pwnage/QuickPwn. But restoring from a stock 2.1 is fine.
I can't seem to get into DFU mode no matter how many times I tried. Did I do something wrongly? Do iLibertyX+ed phones need to do something more? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'll try on on another new account, but how does this affect actually?
Please help!
This DFU mode is not working well for me. My friends are experiencing this problem too. I tried invoking DFU mode through iLibertyX+ but it isn't working too! Is there a way to do this without DFU mode?
I tried to restore my phone to other 1.1.4, but I get a error 20 while restoring a stock 1.1.4 from iTunes. Any idea?
I am having problems with disk on iphone(disk failed, timed out..dont know what the hell is doing to me since 2.0.x)
but restroe is needed
i put on second mac, with iT 7.6.2 and do restore in DFU mode...on second time it succes with 1015error, then I can restore to 2.1 with Pwned firmware without any dfu mode and it works...
hope if anybody could help me with the "iphone cannot be synced", "attempting to copy to the disk -1426 error)
i recommend setting the phone up as a new phone, so no applications settins are copied over.
off the phone, restarted, reloaded apps and then they work, actually,
better than before.
Thanks!
Can Netatalk help somehow by afping into the phone and deleting and or swapping some file?
Thanks in advance if anyone knows this answer.

Please someone help me out, after open the QuickPwn, appear an warning that says: the firmware installed on your iphone its not soported by QuickPwn" What should I do?

FYI: I installed from the latest, PwnageTool 2.1 on Mac OS 10.4.11 in Expert mode, adding lots of cool apps in the process, so anyone of those could be to blame, i guess.
that's the answer to the poll
BUT......while | was out, it installed and for some strange reason, it is not simlocked. Could somebody explain why my iPhone is still working without a crack? But now iTunes is asking me if I want to update the "carrier settings". Should I do it? Will that lock my iphone.
maybe I did not read carefuly enough but:
I have a strange behaviour on "Notes" that crashes whenever I try to use special characters... both on iPhone "Original" and 3G ... ö ä ß and others are not available but are inserted by auto-correction...
Any ideas??
Thanks a lot...
abdul.hassan
PS it is every app that uses the keyboard... simply stay on a key and the app crashes ...
hast du schon mal wiederhergestellt? ge-googlt?
3g is legit
"original" is unlocked
done under mac os x 10.5.....
any Ideas? in Goggle I did not find anything relating to this strange behaviour
abdul_hassan
so you DID try a fresh restore...?
does it happen if you restore WITHOUT pwnage? or only pwned?
let's see ...
Update #1 a fresh restore brought a working keyboard .. I will now quickpwn ..
Update #2 after quickpwn app store apps still there and keyboard still working...
trying to restore the cydia's apps now ...
Update #3 iBaRes restore my user settings, keyboard still working ...
trying to use AptBackup to get back my apps for the jailbroken part of the 3G...
Update #4 AptBackup frightened me nearly to death, when it said it was rebooting it did not come back... it took 3 times to try to reboot manually... but voila
THE BEST CELLPHONE (it is a pity to call it like that ;-) ) IS BACK AGAIN
showing all character etc ...
Thank you so very much zini :-)
UPDATE #5 Finally everything worked ... untill I tried to sync with iTunes ... it didn't find a phone ...
I think the problem was with iBaRes or AptBackup ...
I restored again manually "by force"..., made a new custom ipsw, got my missing characters back, am syncing AppStpreApps now and after this, I will install a few things manually...

dev team can u help?
cheers to all involved, nice one
I am using my iPhone with my Windows-PC, but I have a MacBook and I am thinking about to do the jailbreak with the Mac.
After the Jailbreak I will use the iPhone again with my Window-PC - Anyone here who tried this??
Whats wrong?
- download the new 2.1 software
- start pwnag and make a custom
- restore the custom with ALT in itunes
- restart the phone and no service :( (3g in the settings is not activate)
try to restore the phone with normal apple 2.1 firmware file.
then try to use quickpwn (visit quickpwn.com for windows instructions) to pwn the device.
then do ANOTHER restore, but just put the phone in the plain old recovery mode, and put your custom firmware on (this part may be optional depending on your setup).
hope that helps. but somebody like MuscleNerd will be able to answer for sure and likely reply within a few hours.
ok i will make the steps you wrote...!
thanks for the very quick answer...
..i work only on mac ;)
ok thanks for your good support - i must search a new card :)

Is there any way whatsoever that you could build in a way to automatically save and then restore all your jailbroken apps and themes before and then after the upgrade? And keep the SSH settings in place ? That would be truly awesome as it's such a ball ache having to go through the process everytime! Essentially doing this (http://www.modmyi.com/forums/pwnage/343821-guid...) but automatically....?
Thanks again to the dev team!
- Backup iPhone in iTunes 8;
- Update with official Apple 2.1 Firmware
- QuickPwn iPhone
- install ssh
- ssh into iPhone
- replace mobileinstallation file
- Restore iPhone
Everything running sweetly
Hope this helps
So I tried with quickpwn instead, this time it says that it doesn't support the firmware installed on my iPhone. Anyone know what's the problem here?
I previously used pwnage to update from 1.1.4 to 2.0, then updated through iTunes with pwnage for 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. So my phone remain unlocked but installer and cydia is gone.
update to 2.1 via itunes 8
use quickpwn and IGNORE everything itunes says... just wait until the iphone has reebooted.
everything works fine then.
I made de root-file 1000MB and upgraded my baseband; you might beforehand, copy your
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework/MobileInstallation-file, just to be sure
If itunes (8) says it doesn't recognize your phone reconnect your iphone and it should be ok
The only thing is, after upgrading your firmware, you can't install cracked ipa's, because the iphone got stuck at the standard logo, buzzing twice every 6 or 7 seconds
If you, however, rename the .bak-file back to MobileInstallion and trow the copied one away, the iphone starts up normally again. You can ssh into your iphone, even if it got stuck at the standard logo
any news yet regarding the latest models ( 2nd generation ) Ipod Touch ?
someone know how to figure this
thanks
The only thing that doesn't work is, when you copy a Mobileinstallation-file to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework
It looks like 3rd party applications can be installed but after rebooting it stuck with the standard logo
I can ssh into the iphone and rename the .bak-file; trow the copied one away and the phone will startup normally
For the rest it works like a charm and the iphone 2G (which I have) is running much much faster!!
that was very fast.
For all those who are struggling with pwnage and itunes 8.0 -
hack it over quickpwn, works like a charm!
Thanks to the dev team again .

I have quickpawned my phone to 2.1 and it all looks fine. Updated now have the app store etc
EXCEPT....THERE IS NO SERVICE from my phone network provider. It just shows one bar of reception all the time, and after 3 hours it turns to say no service. Can not make calls, receive calls, SMS....but the wifi and everything else works fine...
Can someone help?
I have restored it and pawned 3-4 times, same result.....
tried installing bootneuter all day and it always manages to cut off 70% of the way through the process. I will try it at home tonight with a more dependable WIFI connection. Is there anywhere else I can get bootneuter?
Mario: Did you try yet?
But Service is BACK to normal ! Here's what I did, in 4 steps, I'd say give a try to the 4th and if it doesn't work, try the others:
1- Reset all settings on phone. -& Restore to 2.0.2 Apple, to start afresh.
2-Restore to a 2.0.2 Pwnage custom ipsw, done in expert mode, erasing all data option enabled. (requires the previous Pwnage tool, 2.0.3.1.) Still had no service.
3- Restore (or QuickPwn) to a custom 2.1
4- I had almost given up. So I decided to synchronize anyway. iTunes asked me if I wanted to revert to a backup made last week, prior to 2.1 release. It was late, I was tired, so I sais yes thinking "at least I won't have to set everything again. BINGO. ! 5 bars service (still in 2.1) .
My guess is that it was one or some of the apps loaded with Cydia or Installer. I'm gonna stick to only one for a while, Cydia. I reloaded Winterboard, no problem. Hope this helps ! Good luck. Give feedback.

Mario: Did you try yet?
Everything worked fine, but when i tried to upload my custom ipsw, iTunes check it first and ends up with an error 21. By the way, my iPhone was already activated.
I noticed something strange, a few days ago i downloaded iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw from apple and it was about 225 MB, today (October 21) it is 237.8 an keeps being (Theoretically) the same file and version. Oops! is finally writing new rules for 'Cats and mouses'?
Who can give me a little hand?
My iphone is 2g and i didn't know the baseband would be updated so it is now Locked...I can do anything except for making calls...
If I get this working, I will be releasing the plans under a Creative Commons license, so that all can enjoy.
Cheers
Since a few days my iphone 3g does some really strange things:
At first it started to press the sleep/wake button by it own. Often I could see the shutdown window on it (the red slider).
But the sleep button wasn't pressed. I could press it and fell that it wasn't stuck or something like that.
And then another problem started. The volume adjust buttons did the same actions. There was always a window with the current volume visible. When I tried to adjust the volume down it automatically adjusts the volume up again. Like the volume up button is pressed and hold. But I also can press the volume up button.
First I thought about a software bug. So I did a Firmware Recovery through iTunes. But the error still exists. But now another error comes along. If I press the the volume up button nothing happens. :(
---------
The only thing what I want to know is: Can I send my iphone to my provider? My iPhone seems to be untouched but are there any clues of a jailbreak left? I want to get my iPhone repaired.
and, restore a non-jailbroken firmware before sending your phone in, always. Then they can't tell..
But thanks for the quick answer. So im glad to hear that there are no marks left after I did a restore with an official firmware trough iTunes. So I'm going to send my iPhone to my provider to get it repaired.
Sounds like you got it wet at some point! is there any chance that could have happened?
Followed all the steps..
When I upgraded to 2.1 through iTunes everything went smoothly.. showed the device and everything.. however my screen was stuck on the boot logo with the spinning cog OVER the apple. So I decided to quickpwn, did a hard boot to turn it off and went through everything, now I am stuck at the boot screen with the pineapple..
Any ideas as to why?
Not a registerd user there so i cannot get the firmware! is there anywhere else i can get it??
The DEV Team is very relevant!
Maybe post some of your visitor numbers again, just form the day pwnage tool 2.1 was released. that ought to shut them up ;-)
btw. not the place to ask for that ;-)
Jr
can soembody help me? i tried jailbreak my iphone with QuickPwn and all applications hang. :( Now i tried to reset the settings and till now, only the black screen with pineapple logo is seen and this has been like this for more than half an hour now. im going crazy., please help! :(
I have now unlocked my 1st gen iphone and jailbroken my 3G. its simple to use and works great!! You guys are legends!!!
Hope you score many hot chicks !!
Peace brothers!!
Having options keeps Apple on their toes
Please?
WINDOWS VERSION PLEASE NOT MAC, MAC SUCKS
Is there a way to downgrade to 2.0.2? I tried using an old Pwnage Tool version in both Itunes 7.7 and 8, but I always got error 1023. Any suggestions?
if it's not unlocked, download bootneuter from cydia.
enjoy.
anyway, he can follow the directions on quickpwn.com and make it work.... if it's so important.
Sorry diego
Let me spell this out a bit more.. Without Apple, and Mac, there would be no applications in question. Think about what you're saying before you speak.
I screwed up my phone my upgrading my 3G iphone from a jailbroken 2.0.2 to 2.1. Now activation is lost and it can't find any carrier. I also tried Pwnage Tool with the activation switch, but it still won't find any carrier.
Any help appreciated
your phone is not screwed up. it is impossible to brick the iphone, you can always fix it (short of breaking it with a hammer, then youre fucked)
Then reading this site for 100 times and strictly following it : http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=..., I was able to go through all of the process quite smoothly.
Thanks DEVTEAM for all of your hardwork! We all hope u guys never get tired of doing these wonderful things! Don't be discouraged by all those haters who post negative stuff about u. I bet they all have their iphones pwned using this method. lol Thanks again!!!
it can be done or no?
help pleasee!!!
I guess 'wannabes' like myself want to know what's happening. (Even if we don't understand it half the time! ;-) )
There are tons of torrents and server-shared files with already pwn and customized *****2.1.ipsw firmwares. For instructions just go to winpwn.com
The methods on other sites are nowhere near as good as here. So give people a break.
Yesterday my signal disappeared and after restart the IMEI number of the phone changed to 00 499901 064000 0. since that point Itunes would not let my restore to any Pwanged firmware version only original ones, and then of course would not let me activate the phone because it did not recognize it.
I only managed to load a pwanged 2.02 firmware via an older itunes installed on another system, but still the IMEI number did not change back. the only way to use the phone is with a Turbosim adapter.
Any help on how to revert to the original IMEI number so my phone is sim free again as I bought it will be greatly appreciated.
I want to thank you guys for doing such greate work for the community.
So, please, anyone, is there even going to be a windows quickpwn version??
Don't let me be misunderstood; thank you sooo much DevTeam for all your efforts!!!! ;)
Just wondering, when fooling round trying to get into DFU without the help of PwnageTool it just never seems to work error 1600. Does Pwnage tool do something special?
Thanks again,
Joe
As always, it just works fine.
Keep your good work up, love you rocking guys.
Thanks
Thanks in advance.

Anyway I have a little story:
As you released the Pwnage 2.0 Tool is immediately downloaded it. After creating a pwnaged 2.0 image i restored it onto my iPhone 2G. Since yesterday I used the 2.0 FW on my iPhone 2G. Yesterday I visited your blog to see whats new... and as I saw that you released the quickpwn tool for the FW 2.1 I decided to update the iPhone directly by using iTunes (you must note that I updated a pwaned 2.0 iPhone 2G). So I downloaded the FW 2.1 by using iTunes and installed it onto my iPhone... And now .... the weird thing is: it is unlocked!!!!!!! (directly after the update the iPhone was unlocked, so it wasn't necessary to use the Quickpwn). I thought you'll may be interested how this worked...I surely don't know but it is like say... so if you wanna more information or the pwnaged image please let me know...
I am from Germany and I am using O2... Did you already encounter this behavior?
Please let me know if someone else encountered this before ...
When I tried your new pwnage 2.1 tool to update my iPhone 2G, iTunes did not restore my iPhone with the customized firmware ... an error 1600 occured1?
Can you help?
Thanx for all you did for us!
Greetings from Germany, Kelte
Hey Galaxar, which System do you use, Mac or Windows?
I used a Mac and iTunes 8 to update my jailbroken and unlocked (pwnaged 2.0 image) iphone 2G. After iTunes downloaded the Update I installed without using either Pwnage nor the QuickPwn tool... After the data backup made by iTunes it installed the update in a regular way. Afther the reboot the iPhone was activated and unlocked... without using any kind of tools!
Do you still have a pwnaged 2.0 FW and the old version of iTunes?
Greets ....
Galaxar
hat mit dem erneuten herunterladen der bootloader-Datei geklappt... mit sendowski.de
Danke trotzdem, Kelte
I have a similar Problem. When I try to update my new iPhone 3G within iTunes 8.0 with the customized firmware, I also get "an unknown error occured (1600)"
I can restore the iPhone with the original firmware, but still locked.
Anyone any idea?
Thanks a lot,
Greetings from Switzerland,
Daniel
pwnage for 2.1 in this short time - great work
In due of your tool i am not bounded to the german telekom which even inhibited great apps like sipgate voip
your tool is a nightmare for the monopoly operators, for apple it is an other sold iPhone.
regads from germany
And you do it free of charge for every body to use it easely.
Thank you so much :)
A small thing that would make hacking the iPhone even easier...
If you guys could link to the extra packages needed to run pwanagetool or quickpwn
or maybe even let the tools find the needed packages them selves at startup.
Another thing... I run a website called Chaosprojects.com and would very much like to credit you guys on it,
by posting a banner of some sorts...
Thanks agin for all uv'e done
Many thanks for the fabulous Pwnage Tool 2.1 its awesome,worked like magic....no issues my iphone 2G is now upgraded to version 2.1 and everything is working fine.As far as the poll conducted by Engadget its absurd there's no competition Dev-Team Rulz hands down . Keep up the Good Work!
Best regards from Czech rep.
Is it possible to downgrade to the 2.0? I was using it and when I tried to upgrade to 2.1 I just receive the error (6).
I did everything they say here on the posts but seems to me that nothings helps.
Thanks!

Well, I first dowloaded Pwnage Tool and immediatly went to install it on my iPhone 3G. Followed all instructions and didn't work. By this time, I had installed iTunes 8 and never thought on downgrade it. So, I went into QuickPwn at worked just fine, even I has recently downloaded the 10.5.5 OS Update.
This is really fun.
What I wonder is... what will happen when the iPhone updates comes? Will QuickPwn still working?
I always update the iPhone software, and when 2.2 comes, I will too... But, the Dev team will come with an update for the 2.2 of iPhone software version?
And above all: Does this converts into a brick my iPhone the next time I want to update it into a, let's say, 2.1.1 iPhone update?
Thank you all of you!!!
Although im a big fan of engadget dont think those guys should say that jailbreaking is no longer needed. Not everyone can afford the high monthly contract price that apples suppliers demand of people if they want an iphone, i for one couldnt afford it and therefore appricate all the work that u guys do.
Please keep up the good work and thanks for everything.

A mate has also done the same! Everything is functioning normally and the Apps are updating.
(note:i am using the modded mobileinstallation for 2.1. could this be causing my problems?)
I've had the well-known wifi-problem since I restored to 2.0 with PwnageTool 2.0. Now I'm on 2.1, and still have this problem. Do you know how to solve it? Do you know anything useful about it? Do any other persons here know anything about it?
Thanks for your great work!
-mpitof
Only Q outstanding, can I hack the phone to as I am moving country and would like to switch to a local service provider when I do? any ideas out there?
A;; pointer appreciated
I i jailbroke my iphone 3G with with itunes 8, and QuickPwn. Everything works great except that my dialer doesnt work. Any help on how to fix this please?
Thanks Dev Team for all your work, we really appreciate!
Great work, i have unlocked all previous version easily, but to day with 2.1 I have problem in restoring. iTunes give me error 1600. I have tried to rebuild Custom restore file several times, same error. My iPhone is first generation! Can someone give me a hint how to overcome this?
Ciao from Vienna
please!!!why do you separate mac users from windows users...cmonnnn!
STOP BEGGING, THERE IS NO WINDOWS VERSION YET, CAUSE NOBODY CARES FOR US M8.
4 DAYS AFTER MAC USERS GOT QUICKPWN AND NO EVEN ANY INFO ABOUT WINDOWS AND WHAT IS GOING ON, HMM...
I THOUGHT WE SUPPORT DEV TEAM, JUST LIKE MAC USERS, AND DESERVES ONLY SOME INFO UPDATE IN 4 DAYS. i DON'T SAY WE MUST HAVE WINPWN, BUT ONLY INFO IF IT WILL BE AFTER 2 DAYS OR 1 MONTHS.
OF COURSE, WE HAVE CUSTOM IPSW ON TORRENTS, BUT I DON'T WONT IT CAUSE LAST VERSION PRETTY FUCKED UP MY IPHONE. WE DON'T KNOW WHO CREATED THOSE IPSW, MAYBE SOME NOOB OR ECT. YEA, IKNOW I KNOW, DEV TEAM WORKS FOR FREE, YES WE ALREADY KNOW THAT, BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR US (THEIR JOB OR SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE, OF COURSE), LOYAL USERS WHO ALWAYS SUPPORT THEM , THEY ONLY COULD MADE THEIR OFFICIAL CUSTOM IPSW, WHAT WOULD BE SAFE TO RESTORE OUR PHONES, CAUSE WE WOULD KNOW FROM WHERE THAT COME FROM. I THINK THAT IS NOT SO BIG REQUEST!!!!!
<CapsLockMode_Off>
Ok, let's spitting over me begins.
personally, I think they should try to finsih one project before starting another.
I thought so.
I saw a tutorial only use the pwnageTool to jailbreak the iphone.
Then what's the use of QuickPwn?
Thanks
Guys just want you guys to know that after several tries I finally figured out why I couldn't get any carrier signal. My iPhone now works!
Dev Team you Rock!
What about us Windows users? QuickPwn for Windows please please please?
i used quickpwn 1.1 mac for 1st gen iphone 8gb was runing 2.0.2 upgrading 2.1
whatt can i do, i had to back up form 3 weeks ago.
Second, I am about to jailbreak my iphone, but I do have a major concern:
As I know I can jailbreak the iphone by either QuickPwn or PwnageTool, and the difference was that the PwnageTool requires install.app beta was installed before the process, but QuickPwn does not require this.
1. The question is that how to have the installer.app beta installed on the iphone even before the jailbreak?
2. what's the advantage from jailbreaking by PwnageTool comparing doing that by QuickPwn?
Any clarification or comments will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Do u have any comments or answer for my questions which I posted a while ago.
Thanks
BUT....I did purchase 2.0 and have since upgraded to version 2.1. The firmware bundle is in ~/Library/iTunes, but Quickpwn can't find it and there is no option for me to tell it where to find it.
Totally stumped.
1) Download QuickPwn 1.1 using torrent (SHA1 sig verified)
2) Connected iPhone
3) Launched QuickPwn and started the process, get phone DFU mode, etc., etc.
4) QuickPwn UI is very nice (great job guys). Automagically downloads 2.1 firmware for me.
5) I ask to keep original icons and it proceeds to mod the 2.1 firmware and after a while we are off to the races.
6) Uploads new firmware to the iPhone and then QuickPwn reports success.
7) Now the process continues and it's all up to the iPhone (nice informative installer app on the iPhone)
8) I walk away for a minute and come back and I'm stuck at the pineapple logo, sits there, sits there, I wait for 10 minutes until I reset (power + home buttons). Clearly something was amiss.
9) iPhone stick at Pineapple logo on reboot and I now get the dreaded 2 buzz debug alert (been there done that). Phone is basically in a loop at the spring board app. Been down this road before with 2.0.x.
10) Time to restore, again, from my Sept 14th backup.
11) Not going to try this again until perhaps someone has some insight. Restore worked, but icons were all over the place and I have 5 screens of apps now. Not fun.
Anyone else experience this behavior? Please advise. Any insight would be appreciated.

And for all you idiots that think everyone should have a mac, you must not live in the real world. I need to sync my smart phone with my WORK computer, which I have no control over...
thats what i did..... living in the real world..... lol... have a nice day....
I just Jailbroke my 3g phone, and everything goes well, i get to the point where my phone only allows emergency calls, and asks me to connect USB, i presume to activate.
I plug the USB in, itunes fires up and the IPhone is listed on the left side, at the top its saying "Accessing ITunes Store", but just times out and crashes.
Any ideas?
I was using PwnageTool 2.1 in simple mode.
It was ITunes 8 that crashed on me, with an exception.
I have been able to successfully restore back to the factory 2.1, so i shall try Pwnage Tool 2.1 again, see if the same happens.
I opted for a Advanced install this time, and de-selected the activate option, and now my 3g Pay and Go IPhone is jailbroken! ;)
Thanks guys.
QuickPwn sees it as a 2.1 device, installs the firmware, runs all kinds of programs on the phone and then reboots only to result in the same result as before.
What is wrong here?
Thanks,
Ton.
And thats all your fault.
As far as i am concerned you guys suck big time.
And all you needed to do was communicate.
Iphone2G used Pwnage and upgrade from 1.1.4 to 2.0 after a month upgrade to 2.0.1 and now 2.1
It is the best tool ever created.Not even one crush.I have T-mobile and I have signal in Mexico,Grand Caiman,Belize and Honduras.Cant wait to get home in Romania and try Vodafone.Internet signal is the best with 2.1 as well the Phone.You are the best Dev Team
No publicity, no "important devs". Maybe it's better they try to develop to their close friends.
Now I see, ZIBRI was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are ignorant and we don't need them. They only want it popularity.
So who cares...
ZIBRI was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZIBRI is an idiot!
Thanks
Having this tool would have made it easier, but it can be done, to the ass insulting the
Dev Team, he's probably 12 and doesn't know better. Poor Baby
Ich flehe euch an bitte releast die windows version
Je vous en prie ! SVP faites sortir la version windows!
Khahesh mikonam versione Windows dorost konid!
Jailbroke my 3G 2.0 (and updates) when you first released the QuickPwn and I am loving it.
Now, I am on my toes for the 2.1 QuickPwn GUIbased for Windows...
Thx for the goodwork and making the most out of my/our Iphones!!!
/cheers!
Will work with itunes 8?
I read once that is not music to ipod could add then to 2.1 in Jailbreak is it true?
please answer my mail: javierfiru@gmail.com
thank you very much
I feel better. Moms and Dads, please take their computers and iPhones away.....
if there is comming a version for windows yes or no please...:)
THX
Cheers.
2. put in this directory the bootloader files - BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin
3. in this same directory unzip the PWnagetool.app
4. and the follow the instractions
P.S. Be sure that your iPhone is restore with the firmeware 2.1
Use this url as an tutorial http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
Thanks dev team regardless keep up the good work!
I had no problems installing 2.1 on my iPhone Classic. The only thing that is not working is "GPRS" with the new version. I have reinstalled 2.0.2 and "GPRS" is working fine again. With 2.1 I'm getting a networkerror, saying no network available.
otherwise than that, great work.
cu,
Steve
At the device test it is not recognized. Is it so much different from the other version?
Well it is great, the design is better and you must be careful not to have it slipped through your fingers...... if there is anything I can do to help - i am not a programmer unfortunately - then let it know.
my data connection is lost and i cant setup and APN.. cant find it in the settings menu!!!!
I've tried everything, from resetting my phone to re-pwning to using bootneuter to restoring from a backup my iphone still says l have no networks available. Everything else works fine though. Is there anything else I can do?
So later today I'm going to a T-mobile store and having a new SIM card made for my iPhone. Did my SIM card die (it's five years old)? Or did something else related to Pwnage happen to it? I'm just grateful to have a semi-working iPhone right now!
-installed firmware 2.1
-used pwnagetool 2.1 osx with bl3.9 and bl4.6 in same dir
-when restoring i get the 1600 or 2100 error...
is there anyway to downgrade to previous firmware versions? (i trashed my older ispw's, stupid i know)
Do a little searching for sleepers
After reading all these comments, I'd like to offer the following.
Please no windows version. In exchange, setup a paypal and we (i hope) will gladly support you guys with a little beer money.
The windows users are retarded belligerent children who don't deserve to be supported, so fuck those whiny bitches. So keep up the excellent work, you guys rule.
what would u say if the DevTeam released a Win version only? Ofcourse we are eager to get ours Pwned etc, plz dont bring the Mac vs Win shit into this forum, especially when you've QuickPwned/Pwned yer Apple hardware, hence pissing on whatever rules/restrictions yer precious Steve Jobs has created. Moron
Keep it up DevTeam, love yer stuff!!!
Iphone 2G version 2.1
First Download Itunes 7.7 from here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes77...
Then in order to install it you'll have to delete the Itunes 8.0 application and Library in your itunes folder.
Then install Itunes 7.7 and restore your custom ISPW for 2.0.2
Once this is done the phone will work but you won't be able to sync your contacts (I'm sue there is a way aound this probably by deleting more then just your Itunes App and the Library ie going into the system files and finding the syncing files for Itunes 8.0- It seems when you re install 7.7 it leaves the newer files alone and doesn't overwrite them causing communication errors between the 8.0 files and the 7.7 ones- like I said I'm no expert on this stuff)
However once the custom ISPW is installed you can upgrade to Itunes 8.0 again and the mail/calender/contact syncing will work again.
It's a bit of a pain but it'll get the phone working again...
For those of you who deleted your custom 2.0.2 ispw I'm uploading one to sendspace now...
If anyone has a more elegant way of downgrading to itunes 7.7 that would be good too
Hope this helps I know I was freaking out last night!
My question is: is there any ways to avoid having duplicate applications.xxx folder? is this created when installing cydia? what should i do with the old one? can i delete it? if so, how do I go about doing it? I try to delete it but everything was removed except the folders that comes pre-installed with iPhone (i.e. stocks, calendars, etc...)
You make bill gates cry...please make Bill and seinfeld happy again.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is:
QUIT WHINING AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT WORKING!
How hard is it to think for yourself?
if I dial *#5005*7672# it does return the correct Service Center Address, but nevertheless SMS is nto working
any ideas or pointers on how to fix this?
Thankssss

bitte um rat oder hilfe_________grüsse N I C O
2G/pwnagetool/iTunes8/2.1
my mail was not working in 2.02 anymore, is fine now! very happy with that!
Leaves one problem only: is there a way to save movies from Cycorder or MxTube to my computer for backup?
Great work dudes! Thnx!
I couldn't get PwnageTool to work via this method but QuickPwn did without any problems.
After upgrading to 2.1 my iPod Touch hung on the pineapple logo. The spinner would come up for a few minutes, then freeze...then it would reboot and do it all again.
Here's what I did to fix it:
1. Restore to stock Apple firmware (2.1)
2. configure as a new ipod
3. jailbreak it (I used quickpwn...freaking awesomeness)
4. go into cydia and install winterboard - that was the key, it kept hanging trying to start winterboard, which isn't there after a fresh restore
5. that reboots you and may kick you into 'safe mode' - so I used aptbackup->restore to reinstall all the other stuff I had
6. I'm now enjoying my iPod in all its beautiful jailbroken glory
I will try again, in perhaps a month, but I need a tool that is reliable and not something that I have to spend multiple hours on; restoring repairing and resetting, time after time.
If it helps any one, all worked fine after jailbrake.
Then installed essentials from Cydia, Bossprefs (a must to stop your non-approved apps from being automatically deleted) OpenSSL and some others I can't name now. And then the next time I tried to use the phone it would not work.
Sees to me there needs to be some sort control & conflict checking, with the apps on Cydia and Installer.
Still, I fully support open apps and freedom, in general, not only for my iPhone, so will continue to work with those making those things possible. And to that end, should wish to discuss further, let me know.
good luck
A simple GUI user
I am running the stock 2.1 for now, keep up the great work, I'll check back in later!
still waiting for the windoze version
:-)
Good work guys...
or maybe they havent got the power to make it^^
but if you bring comments like from Dezioo (or maybe they havent got the power to make it)
then this great people dont give a shit about the win version i am windows user too but wait you know
they can make it..................!!! :)
Also set the "root partion size" under general menu to 700 MB. Remember this option will be only available if you choose Expert Mode.
I still baffled by the fact that me cell provider works but the data part is not, it says that i am not suscribed to the data service. it did work before, all that happened when i pwnaged my iPhone with 2.0
the rest works well.
can i update my iPhone now to 2.1 without putting it into recvery mode ? i made a custom file with the pwnagetool and i am wondering what would happen if i just use restore and the alt key in iTunes when the iPhone is connecetd.
any ideas ?
I have 2 SIM cards, one VF UK and VF EG (default).
When I use VF UK the APN option appears but when I switch back to VF EG it disappears again!!! any help is much appreciated,
Under Cydia. go to Utilities-> BigBoss Prefs and install then go to Tweaks->Re-enable editing APN and install..
it is working fine now.. I discovered that Apple has hardcoded the APN settings for each operator but it seems the addresses are not correct for VF EG their,
good luck and hope this helps,
I just upgrade to 2.1 and received the same 1600 error with iTunes. I tried like it's written here with iTunes 7.7 but it was not working. I did all the same story again but everytime the 1600 error.
Then i tried to QuickPwn the iPhone over again, and wow it's working now.
lol jk im not a noob
thanks guys :P

Thank you in advance!
Keep up the great work
david
please dev team.
are you working on the error?
beautiful guys, gret work
I am trying PwnageTool now and hope it works better!
Thanks Guys :)
>.>
Hope this helps.
thanks anyway!!!
One thing, though, I'm missing cydia and installer which is not a big loss, since I didn't use them very much anyway. I think that may be the key to upgrading smoothly. If you haven't done it yet and you've got a lot of 3rd party (i.e., non-official) apps installed, go in and un-install them all (you'll lose them anyway during upgrade). I suspect many of the errors are due to conflicts with certain non-official apps.
Still, I will kind of miss Qik.
Thanks dev team, these apps really help me out since I'm using a first-gen iphone in Holland which I otherwise wouldn't be able to use.
I am a very happy user fo you app. In Fact I used four days ago and update and unlog my 1.1.4 iphone to 2.0.2 firmware.
But i Have a doubt, If I update to itunes 8, will it recognaise my pwnaged iphone 2G 2.0 ????
You guys are like the Da Vinci of software!
1 - Use Pnwage Tool to create custom firmware
2 - In iTunes, option-click restore, select custom firmware, restore phone with it
In particular: You don't need to go into DFU mode if the phone has already been pwned. You can't use QuickPwn on an already pwned phone. You can use iTunes 8.
Itunes 8 is giving me a "needs to check for carrier updates" Can I hit "CHECK"? or is this a no go? I just hit cancel for now and Itunes opens up and working fine, Has anyone else got this? is the fix out?? anyone??Dev Team???
I see so many people having problems. WHY? no really...
if you used PwnageTool before then,It is so easy...
1) Pwnage 2.1 build custom fw with Iphone 2.1 fw
2) Use Itunes 8 to restore custom fw (option-click restore)
the one you just built and thats it,,,
these are the same steps I have done each time since I first used Pwnage 2.0
each time,, Same results. 8g unlocked..jailbroken t-mobille Iphone,,got to love it!!!!
anyway to say one more time,,YOU GUYS ARE OFF THE HOOK,,,REAL TALK... DON'T STOP NO MATTER WHAT THE HATERS ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! DO YOU,,LIFE UP!!!!!!
windows heads please chill-lax you guys went a little crazy on here before the windows tool came out..show some respect.
No errors, no problems.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES IT MEANS?
THANKS!
http://www.baydownloads.com/search.php?a=smartt...
Otherwise GREAT soft ! Well done guys !
Help please.
But with the Tmobile Sim Card in it, It locks you out to emergency call only. and iTunes says SIM card not accepted.
Please find a fix or work around ASAP. I really want to use my new phone. :)
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/unlocking-activati...
I think this solved the problem for me. I can use the SIM card from my current AT&T iPhone 3G (I wasn't able to before) and I'm gonna test a buddy's T-Mobile SIM card tomorrow. Good luck!
Don't give up!
I recently found out it wasn't jailbreakable yet.

I have downloaded several programs which I love. Now there is the new 2.1 firmware. How can I upgrade to the new 2.1 without losing everything I have already downloaded? I understand that letting Apple install the new firmware I will erase my version. Please help!!!
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

on iphone 1st generation with 2.0 trying to upgrade to 2.1,of course.
well do i upgrade to 2.1 from itunes, the authentic firmware from apple, then restore using the custom firmware from Pwnage tool.
o r do i just Pwnage tool it from 2.0?
but i still have a problem with my network i cannot call anyone
my iphone just appear no service and no signal of my broadband network
u know how to figure this?
thanks a lot
iTunes version in use is still 8.0 rather then 8.01.
Just before I was going to run quickpwn i noticed that my phone was still working, running 2.1!
The cydia was gone and all my hacked software but it works just like a legal iphone.
So i updated in itunes without having to pwn again, is that normal?
I've been trying to pwn an iPhone 3G with a MBP but have been getting 2001 errors in iTunes all the time. And putting the iPhone into DFU mode (either via iTunes or with PwnageTool/QuickPwn open) was a no-no...
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
and followed the instructions and now all i get is the black screen with the apple logo in the middle.( like when its starting up) nothing happens past that and now i cnat even connect it to itunes or anything. when i plug it in its my computer doesnt pick it up and nor does itunes. some1 pls help me and just to clarify its the old iphone bit the 3g one
I had the same problem as most. I upgraded my iphone 2g to the newest firmware in itunes 8, then got kicked out. I have tmobile. I spent 12 hours trying to unlock my phone again.
Heres how
1 In i tunes 8 i put my iphone 2g into dwf mode and restored it to factory settings (i had installed other versions of software and you have to restore the settings in order for it to unlock again)
2 run quick pwn 2 minutes later hurray!
Now i just have to figure out how to unlock my iphone 3g
thanks guys
i used quick pwn
if you are reluctant to do it, just follow the website instructions that are linked to this page, im sure you can find them in the comments below. i did!!!!!!!!
thanks guys
my email is booyahhwee@yahoo.com
hope you can help thanks
But for full pwnage with custom IPSWs, the only port we maintain is for OS X.
they all skip how to get this software how to download a torrent and get it working and nothing make any sense
I can control the iphone via the Headphone just fine. It only gives me a constant noise to listen. But no music.
Don't know if this is an issue only with this special adapter, but it works on the same device unlocked and non-jailbroken.
Any ideas. Just want to avoid spending money for other adapters which won't work either.
i have tried whit 2 pcs.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I have been checking around and no blog has been helpful yet. I wouldn't mind losing the apps I have now, which were acquired by the previous phone owner. I do also have a go phone att sim. WHAT TO DO!
Thanks in advance, and let's keep amerika free!
I restored my unlocked iPhone with iTunes latest 8.0.1 version and kept getting errors 21 etc.... running PwnageTool...
Hope this may help someone as searching Google is a nightmare.. Far to much different information all over the place..
Hi I am getting error 2001 in ITunes.
I tried it with Version 8.0 and 8.0 .
Same problem.
The problem occurs when Pwnage says "DFU Modus" Okay. I am in .
If I close iTunes and restart it . Same problem :-(
Any ideas?
Keep up the good work. Although I like all things Mac, I would swap my iphone 3g for a Blackberry tomorrow if it wasn't for your hacks. I am amazed that Apple get away with what Microsoft clearly haven't. Why shouldn't I be able to use any phone I choose to purchase on any network and install any programme I like? The phone networks that Iphone officially supports have created special tariffs that are much higher for the iphone with no speed increase. If I couldn't unlock and hack my phone I'd be paying through the nose for something anyone without an iphone can get cheaper!
Keep up the good work!!
Got through the bootload issue but stuck with a new one! Pwnage ran smooth till the end. But after, i put the new sim that i intend to use, annd it went into emergency mode???
{Gathering it never unlocked (did jailbreak though)}
Anyone?...

you guys working on this one? ^^
i need help how i can crack ipod touch 2ND generation (5F138 2.1.1) for installing new software are you know any program that i want to use it also i use jailbreak and quickpwn but not work with this firmware and can not down grade my ipod firmware to 5F137
I'm guessing that's because it's Pwnage Tool 2.1 not 2.1.1 right? What'd happen if I just got the 2.1 firmware and tried to downgrade my ipod touch (2nd gen) with the jailbreak. Pleeeeease help me! I can't keep buying apps! They cost too much! =P
I have installed .NET files, downloaded different QuickPwns, I have rebooted computer and also tried a different computer. I restored my iphone again but I'm unabled to get passed this first screen.
Any help would be appreciated
quickpwn at step 8 just stays in a blank progress bar I am currently in that state and have been waiting for about 10 minutes now and i have no response.
MAC OSX
IF YOU COULD HELP THAT WOULD BE GREAT...i HAVE BEEN TRYING DIFFERENT WAYS FOR TWO DAYS NOW!
PLEASEEE
thank you kindly
I know the network is working (a whole other learning process...ask me) because I can surf and download with no problem. When I use Terminal to ssh into the phone, this is what I get:
Last login: Fri Nov 21 17:44:01 on ttys000
mobile-166-217-042-032:~ macperry$ ssh root@192.168.10.1
root@192.168.10.1's password:
localhost:~ root#
I enter the correct password (alpine) and then I get the above. I have no earthly idea what the correct response is for that prompt
Can ANYONE PLEASE tell me what to do to ssh into my phone???
Thanks in advance...macperry
OK

However iTunes does not let me do this without phoning home.
I never got an error with iTunes.. =/
Then restore it in iTunes normally with the custom restore from the drop down menu.
This worked for me just fine.

thanks!!!
I wish I could donate or compensate you guys for all the work.
What is the bat way to update an already jailbroken 2.0.2?
Do I have to lose all of my jailbroken stuff, and redownload, or is there a way to keep it?
This is my first time updating a jailbroken iPhone.
In case it's relevant, this is for first yen iPhone with Mac. :)
2) With Quickpwn, no you wont
thanks.
However, I first updated via iTunes and then ran quickpwn, after the processes were completed, I lost all my jailbroken stuffs and had to reinstall them. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks.
All help appreciated. Thanks much.

THANKS DEV TEAM!!!
Thanks Dev team!
That is just 2.1 firmware. Nowhere did he say it was already pwned
Nice can't wait for you guys to jailbreak the 2G in windows!!
It does not contain Installer.app or the custom logos
