Whoever have purchased the V3 device form any-network.com will never recieve the device - the company have scammed you!!
They will take your money but will never send you anything, most likely because they have lied and do NOT have a working solution for V2.2 I live in the UK and purchased it on 27/11/08 - as soon as it came out. As the company is based in the UK I should have been the first to recieve it - but its now 03/12/08 and have not recieved anything!!!
They will not reply to your e-mails and whenever you call the support team your call just get forwared to a voicemail. I advise nobody to purchase through this website and if you have already try and get a refund through paypal or your credit card company!
hey, don't forget to update itunes first, if not already. Also, not mentioned during the process--but you must hold down alt/option then click 'restore' during the final step and select the rejiggered firmware off your desktop, otherwise it will just restore the original 2.2 firmware. PS thanks to iclarify for the tutorial which mentions this (though it was for 3G, the vital info, holding down the alt key, was there) and of course thanks to the dev team for their generosity.

Hi Dev Team. I recently purchased a 3G iphone 16gb from Singapore an was told that it was unlocked. I manage to insert my foreign sim card in and it worked straight away. playing with the wifi internet, i went into installer and decided to download a game. Next thing i know i have a blank screen with the apple logo and Salvo56 written below. I cannot determine if my phone is factory unlocked or just unlocked by other means. I just want to clarify- do i just use the PwnageTool_2.2.1.dmg, i.e. open it and follow the instructions? Thanks in advance for your help, Cheers
echo
· 1 year ago
Did installer come pre-installed when you bought your iPhone? If it did means its been jailbroken. The 3G cannot be software unlocked at this time. The only way you can unlock it is with SIM proxies/emulators (TurboSIM RebelSIM, YesSIM). If you did not have to use a SIM proxy with your foreign SIM, ten chances are its factory unlocked. If it is factory unlocked then you can just restore your iPhone through iTunes.
As for Installer, I wouldn't use it as its still buggy. It froze me 2G when I updated Installer. Use Cydia instead. There are much more software available on Cydia and its way more stable.

Dev team, correct me if im wrong:)
i think i once heard you guys said that any baseband in the firmware will be flashed if the baseband in the iphone appeared to be corrupted.
I think this is the only solution to those(not including me:D ) "accidentally" update their baseband to 2.28.00 since you guys said there is no exploitable hole now.
well, how do you think?

I have read the instructions above. I have an iPhone 2G running v2.1 that I have unlocked using Quickpwn. When the nstruction say "Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said" - what does this mean exactly? It's the restore with iTunes part that has me questioning which direction I should go - Do I create a custom .ipsw using QuickPwn 2.2, apply then restore? Sorry for sounding particular, but best to be safe than sorry. The instructions are pretty vauge...
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
QuickPwn doesn't create custom IPSWs. It requires you to be already updated using iTunes to the stock Apple firmware. For iPhone 2G, and iPod Touch, there is no problem doing this. For iPhone 3G if you don't care about any potential future unlock, there's no problem doing this. It's only if you need to disable the baseband update (iPhone 3G users who want an unlock in the future) that you need to create a custom IPSW using PwnageTool.

so i was on 2.0.1 an had it unlocked i think with winpwn then i updated via itunes to 2.1 and was still unlocked then i jailbroke the phone via quickpwn so here i am with an unlocked 2.1 wanting to go to 2.2 unlocked and then jailbreak Warning: my phone will not work if its not unlocked so this is the most important thing jailbreak second

i have another situation/question:
if you have an iphone 3G and you upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 via itunes, and your "about" menu says "modem firmware: 02.11.07"?
a) you are screwed because of the baseband upgrade on 2.1 b) your iphone is still able to run the unlock whenever it is released
thanks in advance guys!!
and keep going iphone dev team!!!

I would also very much like to know this. If I am already screwed as far as an unlock goes, I might as well just install v2.2 and QuickPwn it.

Quick question - I'm going to make an ipsw with pwnagetool.. is there any chance that a custom ipsw created with pwnagetool WILL contain the baseband update and not strip it (is it an option, or a checkbox, or whatever?)?? or can I be 100% sure that a .ipsw made with pwnagetool will NOT contain the baseband upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
p.s. since a ipsw is basically a glorified .zip file, can you say which files in it are responsible for the baseband upgrade? I want to be REALLY sure I won't be upgrading my 01.45 iphone 3g baseband.

I mean, I have an original iPhone, unlocked for one carrier. Would like to test more carriers as well...Really no chance anymore? I think the last word is not said yet...
if i have a jailbreaked iphone and want to unlock it with devteams software in the future can i then use this to update:

Dear Dev Team
You never cease to amaze me with the speed of your 'cat and mouse' updates to keep us users free from control by Big Brother. If I wore a hat I would take it off in respect :-)
I wonder if you could kindly tell us if this Jailbrake Pwnage Tool Update will allow those of us with locked 3G iPhones can continue using the 'TurboSim' which I know you guys hate and deplore, BUT unfortunately, in order not to have a permanent desk brick, some of us have to resort to this 'half way house' solution until the 3G baseband unlock is unveiled?
I know from the reports on this great blog that many have been unable to continue using their TurboSims because of Big Brother's 2.2 Update (I otherwise refer to as 'Lockout'), so will the Pwnage tool help solve this issue?
Guys ( & Gals) !, thanks again for all of your great work !!!

No. There is no Windows version of a custom IPSW creator that works for firmware 2.2. You'll need to use a Mac to create a custom IPSW.

I have not used this latest pwnage tool, but in previous versions if you left 'activate' checked somewhere in the advanced mode it would not pick up any signal. I'm curious, did you upgrade the baseband or preserve the previous version?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you leave "activate" checked on a phone that can normally activate through iTunes, you'll get that issue.
"hacktivation" and "activation" are mutually exclusive. Only one will work, depending on whether you can normally activate through iTunes or not.

Has it been tested on 1st gen O2 devices? Leaving out the activation option in Pwnage Tool, has itunes prompts for a valid (O2) SIM, even if an O2 SIM is used. Does it fool the device thinking it's a yankee model? Selecting the hacktivation solves the issue, when before (2.1 and prior) I didn't have to hacktivate. No big deal, it's running fine now.

So can you jailbreak a [locked] 2.2 3G with quikpwn? Was that yes for this question?
Thanks gang,

If I am in the "SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G" category, phone is already officially unlocked by Apple, want to update the baseband and new 2.2 with PwnageTools instead of Quickpwn. Can I create a custom IPSW with the one iTunes downloaded?

Great job!
I'm just wondering one thing - If i go from 2.1 to 2.2 with my iPhone 2G, will the Cydia apps still work in the 2.2?
Many thanks, Jacob, Sweden

Hi iPhone Dev guys!
Great job! Just want to thank you all for your dedication and hardwork! V.Cool guys. I've read all the comments - and still have some questions.
I've got an iPhone 3G - which I QuickPwned on my MacBook. I have iTunes 8.02 installed. The iPhone 3G has a modem FW of 02.11.07. The phone itself has no hardware modifications. I'm getting round the SIM Lock using a YesSIM - similar to TurboSIM. (I know you guys don't recommend them - these SIM hacks! I'm hoping that with your pending SIM unlock I can bin the YesSIM)
I've read your blog post and I know for 2.2 I need to use your PwnageTool to create a custom 2.2 .ipsw file preserving the existing 2.1 baseband. But here's where I get confused:
a) Do you think the baseband in my iPhone 3G will be eligible for the software SIM unlock ?
Thanks guys! And once again really appreciate your efforts and hardwork! Thanks from all the way from the UK.
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
We'll be able to find that out after (and if) the potential soft unlock becomes a reality. All we know for sure is that it wouldn't work on 2.2's baseband.
In the meantime, you'll be fine in your current setup if you keep the baseband where it is.

My iPhone 2G updated first without problems and stayed unlocked on the baseband. Then I used QuickPwn to jailbreak it. Creating files went fine, moving files as well and updating on the screen, but then it had to restart, and my trouble started.
It have now been trying to restart for 20+ minutes and just has the Apple logo and nothing happens.
What to do?
Ideas very welcome...
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Since you're on a 2G, this method is the best to unstick yourself: With USB connected, hold both buttons forever...until you see the restore logo. Then open iTunes and restore to official 2.2. Then run QuickPwn again.
Lars
· 1 year ago
Phew!
After 30 minutes of "Apple logo screen" and serious nailbiting, the phone suddenly showed the login screen.
I guess updating for me has to be a nervewrecking session pretty much every time.
Anyways, thanks, and keep up the good work!

ok for all of those who are getting the i haz failed click on log, if it states no free space on root partition then what u should do is go to expert mode and continue until u come to where there is a selection screen, choose general and increase the size of the root partion , i increased it to 1040 and it worked

corkman

OK reading this carefully fixes the problem with creating the restore file:
NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool foriPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the “General” window and change two things: Deselect “activate” ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool leave it selected, you will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).

So is it okay to update iTunes to 8.02?????
And do I understand correctly that the way to upgrade an already jailbroken 2.1 phone to 2.2 is by letting it apply the update to 2.2 in iTunes first (thus UNjailbreaking my phone), then running QuickPWN to RE-jailbreak my phone in 2.2? Will it keep my old 3rd party apps and settings or do they have to be re-installed? (And yes, I'm fine with the baseband update--I'm not leaving my carrier)

Just curious though, I have an iPod Touch 2G and (no no no don't stop reading I'm not going to rant!) since they both have the same operating system, does this mean that you can modify the unlocking program so that it works for the Touch too (if it's even available XD I can't even tell lol)?

The 2G can't be jailbroken, it has special hardware that hasn't been hacked yet. Could be quite a while for that.

Plz help me muscle nerd!! PWNAGE isnt recognizing the 2.2 firmware at all(either the 3g firmware nor the 2g firmware)!!! it recognizes the 2.1 firmware though!!! Is anyone having this problem, or is just me??!! Im using expert mode, here is the log of pwange:
Small bug. If you chose in Quickpwn 2.2, for example 2.2 FW, and your iPhone still got the 2.1. This message will appear:
The IPSW file you selected (iPhone 1,2_2.1) does not match the firmware version of your device (iPhone 1,2_2.2). Please note that QuickPwn does not upgrade your firmware you currently have on your device
Shouldn't it be vice versa. Anyway, just thought to inform you. Amazing Work by the way, Goooo Dev Team, I admire your strength, and your fighting spirit. By the way, I think the baseband update was done by Apple, especially because of your hard work, in unlocking the old version

Unless you want to roam in your own city, you're SOL. BTW, even if you turn off location based services and wi-fi, the iPhone always calculate your position from cellular, gps and wi-fi. Malicious code could send your position all the time.

For all you already unlocked 2g Iphone users, you don't have to select unlock when you run quickpwn for windows. At least I didn't have to anyway. I don't know what would happen, if anything, if you selected this. Beautiful thing, worked flawlessly. Thanks Dev-Team!

If you're already unlocked and you choose 'Unlock' in QuickPwn for Windows, BootNeuter will run upon the reboot of your phone but it will detect that nothing needs to be changed, so it's harmless.

Hello Dev-Team, I downloaded the Windows QuickPwn and tried to jailbreak my first generation iPhone on 2.2. I restored it to 2.2, and went through the QuickPwn process, but when I have to put it in DFU mode, QuickPwn just says "Preparing your device - Please follow the instructions above", and goes no further. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I've tried numerous times and they've failed each time. Thank you for your time.
Braden
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Hi Braden, a little more info please. It should highlight the individual instructions that you are to follow - for example, the first one is that you must wait for the device to connect in Recovery mode. If it doesn't detect this, be sure that you've updated to the latest iTunes, and rebooted afterwards. Also, try changing USB ports.
Braden
· 1 year ago
QuickPwn puts my phone into Recovery Mode fine, but once it gets into Recovery Mode, "Wait for iPhone to connect in Recovery Mode" stays bold while the other steps stay light, and QuickPwn doesn't move onto the next step. I tried going onto the steps myself, without QuickPwn's prompting, and I get my phone into DFU mode. But QuickPwn doesn't react to this, and no matter how long I wait, nothing happens.
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Right, I see. Occasionally this happens and we haven't really found a cause - it could potentially be certain USB chipsets etc., or a faulty iTunes install. Your best option (if changing USB port and reinstalling iTunes didn't help) is simply to use another Windows PC.
iginla
· 1 year ago
I'm having a similar problem but with a 3G iPhone. I just got it and I just updated to 2.2.
I have tried the 2.2 pwnage for windows 4 or 5 times and failed each time. I had to do 4 or 5 restores and I crapped my pants on the last one because I got a "iphone can't be restored. unknown error" message. I fixed that, but what gives? When I run pwnage, I don't see the black iPhone logo in the pwnage window. When I get to the "hold power for 5 seconds" step, none of the directions are highlighted. I have the latest iTunes.
Could it be something as simple as switching USB ports? That has helped me before.

Suggestion:
In Pwnage Tool, rather than the apps searching for an IPSW by default, it would be handy if I could choose to browse OR search. I have a great deal of disk space 2+TB and the search takes forever. Search always finds the IPSW, but it would be quicker if I could just browse and tell the app where it's at.

Here is the problem I ran into using the pwnage tool. I was able to fix it however, here was the problem.
I ran into some problems when upgrading. The pwnage tool says that I needed to put phone in DFU mode and then connect and select my new ispw and it would work. Doing it this way kept giving me a 1600 error. So I tried a previous version of iTunes but it still didn't work. What finally worked was, I kicked it out of recovery mode and went back into iTunes and just skipped the DFU mode and directly option clicked on the restore button and selected my new ispw and bingo. It worked. Fabulous. Now I am on 2.2
foudordi
· 1 year ago
I've got the 1600 issue. What's weird is, everything worked fine but then I messed up my sys files and had to restore. Since then (and itunes update), impossible to restore anything but the official version (1600 error). I don't have a ATT sim card, and if I borrow one I still have to go though the activation process. How to you restore without going through DFU? What worries me is that it worked fine at first. I don't get it.
suresh

im in the same situation.... my iPhone is permanently in Recovery Mode and whenever i try to Restore the Pwned image i get the 1600 error...
In fact whatever firmware i Restore back to i always get the 1600 error.
So the question is do i need to get it into DFU mode? because when using the pwnage tool to get it into DFU mode it doesn't seem to make a difference...
any suggestions anyone? :(

Thank you very much!!! I just created the new Firnware Version 2.2 using PwnageTool. I own a iPhone 2G with Firmware 2.1 and other Provider than T-Mobile. Everything was running quickly and very well. But only if i only check on Cydia for my new Firmware. When i click on Cydia and ->Installer<- creating the new Firmware is failing for some reason. Anyway... i always use only Cydia because i have more trouble with 3rd Party Software when Installer is on my iPhone too and therefore i'm very very happy now!
Thanky you so much Guys!!

Yes, deselecting either Cydia or Installer will give you enough room. Or you could increase the partition size at the bottom of the "General" menu and fit both.

Increase the PArtition size? What does that mean for me? So if i would take 750MB or 1000MB if possible instead of 500MB would do what for me? Do i have more room for 3rd Party Software? Sorry for my maybe stupid question.

We'll now search for the firmware bundles. If QuickPwn cannot find the correct file, we'll try to download them automatically.
I look in ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
... and find: iPod1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw
QuickPwn eventually times out and says:
We can't fond the iPod Touch firmware bundle! Please buy this from iTunes and restart QuickPwn.
At this pont I am totally lost.

2G iP/Un/Ac/JB/Mac. It could be too late at night for doing this. I see something different every time I read the instructions - and the various posts of delight and despair. Previously, it has been nice and simple. Just create your custom ipsw using Pwnage Tool then hold the option key in iTunes whilst pressing update and select the custom firmware you just made. Sit back and let the magic happen.
I think the only difference this time is you need to use the Expert mode, General settings to adjust the Root partition size to 1000Mb. (Can't everyone just hacktivate and not worry?)
Oh, just remembered I use the 5 icon dock that caused hanging with the last update - guess that will have to be uninstalled first. Think I will wait till morning and read it all again.

I have 2G iPhone 1.1.4 - Used ZiPhone to unlock/jailbreak on T-Mobile. Can I just "Update" then run QuickPwn, or do I have to "Restore"?
MuscleNerd

There's no way to update from 1.1.4 to 2.x, even in Apple's flow. You need to restore.
Kevin

Damn. As I understand, QuickPwn will both Jailbreak and Unlock, so I should be fine with T-Mobile? At any time do I have to swap out my T-Mobile sim to the original ATT one that came with the phone, or can I do everything without any swap?

QuickPwn for Windows will unlock as well as jailbreak 2G phones. In your case, be sure to use your T-Mobile SIM when using QuickPwn to ensure 'hacktivation'.

For the 2G iPhone and iPod Touch 1G, QuickPwn is certainly the most rapid way of jailbreaking the 2.2 firmware. However advanced users may appreciate the greater level of control and lower-level settings that PwnageTool exposes.

Not huge benefit, except that you can pick your own boot logos and also preinstall Cydia packages. But for most 2G users, QuickPwn is probably better choice.

If you use an iPhone 2g you have to restore from itunes the official 2.2 firm. (First you have to hold power boton forever and when you see the restore logo you leave the boton) then conect to itunes and restore. Ones you restore,close itunes and go to QuickPwn 2.2 and follow the steps.
YOU DONT HAVE TO RUN PWNAGETOOLS IN 2G IPHONES!!!!!!!!

Just jailbroke and unlocked my iphone 2G a couple of weeks ago. I don't have a contract with anyone and am using the iphone for VOIP and as a iPod.
Just so I'm clear. I've already downloaded the 2.2 update via iTunes.
Do I update choose update via iTunes, then perform a backup. Then launch Pwnage 2.2 and create the custom IPSW file and go through the same steps I did before?
Sorry for the lame question, I just don't want to screw my iPhone up. Thx

Got it going! iPhone 2g (1st gen)
Used Pwnagetool to make a custom 2.2. - Used Expert mode, Failed a couple times but finally worked when i changed some options - Unchecked activate - since i use AT&T - Changed the partition to 1047MB (first mark on the line) - Unchecked Nooter - im on at&t, don't need unlock. - Set my custom logo.
Was unable to restore with the phone in DFU - kept getting error 1600. I'm using a 20in iMac with OSX 10.5.5 and itunes 8.0.1 (12)
So I left the iphone connected and turned on like normal, option-Restore to select the custom firmware. (is that status bar on the iphone during restore new? I don't remember it in the past)
It restored just fine, No errors, has my custom logo and all. Activation was successful.
Cydia works fine. (have not tried installer as I don't use it much)
Used Cydia to install a few apps before I restore my old data- 5 icon dock, SSH, Aptbackup, sbsettings.
Then restored my most recent backup. Looked like everything came back except the stuff i had installed from cydia. Tried to use aptbackup to restore those , but it tells me that I never had done an aptbackup - It lies, I used aptbackup just before my last sync/backup.. so not sure what's up with that but i can reinstall what i want from cydia manually.
WooT for JB 2.2 :-)
Thanks Dev-Team, BB, and anyone else who helped along the way. Props from Washington State!

Trying to Quickpwn my previously jailbroken 3G. I'm on Vista. First did update to 2.2 in iTunes. That worked. Then did Quickpwn which seemed to work great.

Hi, I would like to try and jailbreak my iPhone 3G. It is currently at 2.2 with modem fw 2.28.00. I am using windows, but it is a hackintosh so I can also access a mac but my iPhone is sync'd with windows. I don't need to change carrier or anything as I have it on AT&T "legally." My goal is to simply upgrade to 2.2 using just windows if possible. But it seems 3G users should "shy away" from using QuickPwn. Could anyone help me find the best way to jailbreak?

Joe Bob Buck

Ok there's a lot of chinese here. :o)
I have an iPhone 3G *jailbroken* with firmware 2.1. It's been running pretty darn well and I'd hate to piss it all up with 2.2 but I'd really like to try the new firmware. My main concern is losing PdaNet which I use on a regular basis (and the main reason I jailbroke in the first place.) How can I safely update to 2.2 and retain my cydia applications and what not? I could care less about the baseband thing - I'm on AT&T and not going anywhere else. No worries about some soft unlock for carrier in the future, at least not with me. So what's the process I need to take here? Do I just hook it up and update to the stock 2.2 via iTunes, then hit it with PwnageTool? I have both Mac and Windows machines available. I have been syncing with a Vista box but am looking to switch to syncing with my shiny new MacBook anyway; However, I hear the new MacBook doesn't recognize DFU mode (chee, Apple, how sly) so I suppose I need to do the update/jailbreak/etc on a Vista box first?

I am in the same boat as you are Bucky and am currently trying to jailbreak my recently upgrade 2.2 iPhone 3G (was, like yours a jailbroken 2.1) and am currently in the process of trying to successfully build with Pwnage on a PowerBook G4. Unfortunately, I keep getting a failure message just at the end of the IPSW (without activation, 1000mb mod), but from what I understand MuscleNerd says that this *should* work, even on the upgraded baseband.
bemental
· 1 year ago
Alright, managed to get things working again although I can't seem to get aptbackup to do its job so I'm installing things by hand through cydia. Shouldn't take very long plus there's nothing wrong with a fresh start. The functionality of a jailbroken phone is worth the hour of re-customization in my opinion.
Procedure was as follows: -updated previously jailbroken iphone 3g ver. 2.1 --> 2.2 via itunes. -pwange tool'd in expert mode via instructed settings the 2.2 update. -jailbroke 2.2 via pwange. -restored iphone with pre-2.2 update backup (the one stored in itunes) -reinstalled cydia apps.
A few reasons I updated early even though the dev team said not to: 1) I'm impatient. 2) I'm with AT&T and don't plan on needing a soft unlock. 3) I have great faith that the dev team will be all over continuing their amazing work and will be able to fix the majority if not all of my screw-ups in the future.
So the moral of my story is, upgrade if you'd like because it's possible to jailbreak 2.2. But as the dev team says, if you're at all interested in the soft unlock or are just a bit concerned about upgrading that baseband then wait. I was satisfied with 2.1 and honestly, 2.2 isn't anything crazy!
Kudos to the dev team for their hard work. I'm behind you 100%.

What did I do wrong???
MuscleNerd

With most of these hacks you want to stay away from the "restore from backup" that iTunes offers when it sees you're at a new version. Always select "treat as new iPhone". Most everything like your Music and Contacts will sync up properly anyway, even if you treat it as a new iPhone.

10x for that really fast reply, and I also wanted to know if it is the right place to ask this question...

I have always seen people recommend this but I have restored from backup several times and have gotten my phone working fine. Sometimes it took a few restores but I was able to do so with a backup. I'd really be annoyed to put in all my settings all over again, along with losing text messages, etc by setting up as new.

Dev-Team. It might be useful to post up in your note that users need to unhide Cydia/Installer. I had (have) them hidden before the restore/pwn (iPhone 1st Gen) and now they are missing. And I can't get into SSH to restore them. *head bonk*
Or perhaps pwnage tool can be set to make sure they are not hidden? I don't know. My fault. Thanks for the great work!

Question for 3g iPhone and point about Cydia Apps:
First: THANK YOU! If I'm having some issues with my current Jailbroken 3g (i.e., apps opening slowly, etc.) would it be better to do a "new" setup or is it safe to let iTunes do the upgrade and restore from backup? Obviously this is before I Quickpwn, because I would like to use aptBackup which uses the iTunes backup system.
Second: For everyone asking about losing Cydia Apps. If you do restore from a backup, BEFORE you update, install aptBackup from Cydia. It won't restore all of your settings, but at least it will be a one swipe install of all of your Cydia Apps.

Something is drastically different about sync: I restored my previous settings after the firmware update, but the apps weren't restored (that's normal, right?), so I clicked on the sync button and it seems to be going OK, but the iPhone display no longer says "sync in progress" or anything. I just see Springboard.
Is this to be expected from firmware 2.2?
Brandon

yep, its a new feature! The apps just appear!
Odysseus

I had some problems: after the update, iTunes gave me the choice of restoring settings or treating the iPhone as a new phone, and I chose to restore (iPhone 2G). Then I did a sync to restore my apps, but not all of their settings were restored. Should I have chosen to treat the iPhone as a new phone?

Hi, I have a question, I have the 1st generation Iphone(2G) and I'm still using 1.1.4 version upgraded by ziphone (I know.....) .

So will this new relaese help me, please advise!!!

Since you have a 2G iPhone, the fastest way to get what you want is to use iTunes to do a legitimate Apple restore to 2.2. Then run QuickPwn 2.2.

Thanks for cranking this stuff out so fast!! Question for you: I'm on Windows Vista and I've run Quickpwn on my previously jailbroken 3G after upgrading to 2.2 in iTunes. Quickpwn ran through just fine but I've got no Cydia, Installer, or SSH. Any ideas?

I have a 1st Gen iPhone and an '07 MacBook and before I update my phone I want to get this clear. I understand the iTunes 2.2 and the QuickPWN to re-jailbreak it but for ipa's will we need a new mobileinstall (i.e.Mobileinstall 2.2)? Also, I see someone else has asked about the restoring from previous backup on iTunes. I have also used that before but are you saying that because this is a hacked 2.2 that restoring from the 2.1 files wouldn't work properly? I would hate to loose all of my game saves and have to redo every setting but if that is the only option I understand. Sorry for another question musclenerd, I see you have been doing a lot of work answering all of these questions so far. Thanks again for all of your guys' hard work. I really appreciate it!

Is this the right procedure for an iPhone 3G with 2.0 firmware?
Download aptbackup and click backup Go into iTunes and backup iPhone Restore iPhone 3G to 2.2 firmware Quickpwn it (I have windows, not MAC) Go into iTunes and restore settings Download APTBackup and hit 'restore' Stick my Vodafone SIM card in it when I get it (probably Tuesday) and it's ready to go..
Is this right? Do I need the SIM card to activate it or anything? (PS it's locked to Vodafone)
Thanks! :-)

Yes you need the simcard to activate the phone. To get around that use PwnageTool and hacktivate the phone, it doesn't affect the vodafone sim at all.

rac3r

Sounds like you have AT&T and don't plan on changing that. As stated above, just update on iTunes and then run quickPWN. And since you have a jailbroken 3G you must have used quickPWN before (i'm assuming) so you already know how to do that.

Please help this newbie. I would love to upgrade to 2.2 tonight but I am really confused as to which steps I should take.

beautiful, thanks guys for the hard work and answering questions here.
if this helps someone in the same situation as me, going from a stock week old 3g (at&t) iphone with 2.1 to jailbroken 2.2 i dloaded the iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw from the apple link posted below, ran PwnageTool_2.2.dmg in expert mode setting 1000MB partition and unchecking "activate". all fine and dandy. don't forget to option-restore in itunes to choose the custom .ipsw created by PwnageTool, and voila!
I did the restoration fine. Then I messed up with my files by accessing the iphone with FTP. I accidentally deleted files of the system. Around the same time, I did the update of itunes to the lates 8.0.2 Since then, I can only do a restauration with the official update, not the cracked one. Every time I go DFU mode, iTunes does recognize the iPhone, but if I try to restore a modified system, it says "Error 1600" (just after file extraction). If I restore the officiel, it works, so I did't think it could be related to missing DFU files, could it? Could it be itunes 8.0.2 that block the process? I tried many times, even re-creating the file with PwnageTool. Doesn't Work. So now I'm stuck with a locked and jailed iphone.

OK I'll reply myself : unlocking with quickpwn eventually worked. I have no idea how or why. I did the exact same process at least 3 times before and I still got and error. By the way, I did get an itunes error this time too, but somehow quickpwn launched the process anyway. Go figure. This allowed my to restore new firmware without going through FDU. But it's scary! I hope I won't have to use FDU any time soon!

Same problem here after an upgrade, did the full restore, let it sync and tried QuickPwn 2.2-1 on Windows again, and I'm getting the same symptoms.
Very frustrating, especially since the last several versions had gone so smoothly.
I'll go for MuscleNerd's suggestion of waiting 1/2 an hour, but I'm not hopeful.
Diablo451
· 1 year ago
Just keeping my own little attempts log here in case it helps others:
1) Tried Upgrade and Restore under iTunes 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 2) Re-downloaded QuickPwn via the torrent vs. the mirror - byte-for-byte the same .exe 3) Currently trying the "wait for 1/2 an hour of reboots and maybe it'll magically stop rebooting" trick
Next up:
Since the PwnageTool instructions ask for a 1000MB root partition to fit both Installer and Cydia, and QuickPwn doesn't (afaik) mess with the partition table, leaving it at 500MB, after the next restore I'll try QuickPwn without icons and Installer.
Diablo451
· 1 year ago
After > 25 mins, back to restoring. This time I'm also going to try QuickPwning _before_ restoring the backup, just in case that makes a difference.
Diablo451
· 1 year ago
Success!
So one of: 1) Don't try to jam both Installer and Cydia in there with QuickPwn or 2) Don't let iTunes do the settings restore before QuickPwning after a restore

Any information on what the new baseband update fixes? I know a lot of folks don't want to upgrade the baseband because they want the possibility of a 3G software unlock in the near future, but I wonder what you are missing if you don't update that baseband as well (besides the obvious, perhaps losing unlock capability down the road.) Have they tweaked the modem etc and is performance superior to the previous baseband....has anyone done any testing?
chromedome
· 1 year ago
Great question... But we still only have 2 choices
1. older baseband but ability to unlock 2. newer baseband but no possibility of unlock
I agree that more info regarding baseband features would be nice... maybe it would tip the balance on which direction some of us go. I am sure that once dev-team has time they will investigate. I don't see them trading an unlock for a performance hit if the hit is really big. But then again, the need for an unlock may outweigh the baseband features.....
jay
· 1 year ago
Wrong.
The dev team never said that if you upgrade to the newer baseband that you would have no possibility of unlock. They simply said that you wouldn't be able to unlock it in the near future, meaning a couple of months or so. In the distant future soft unlock will still be possible on the updated baseband iphone 3g, if not, then those people who buy the iphone 3g after today that will be shipped with 2.2 firmware would be screwed, basically pointless.
Seamus

Not quite either. Apple patched holes since the first build. Always working on ways to block modding of the BB. With BB 01.45 there *MAY* be some hope. With the later ones, maybe..maybe not. Nothing is certain in life...except taxes and death, right mate? If it's not a hobby or a passion, don't look in hacking for redemtion or miracles. Go to italy, france or Australia and buy the damn thing unlocked of you're too poor, just shut up and enjoy your luxury paperweight.
chromedome
· 1 year ago
I guess it depends on what your definition of "near future" is. It is possible that at some point all holes will be closed and 2.2 baseband could be that point.
I asked MuscleNerd in the previous blog entry and this is his reply:
"But the baseband from 2.2 (baseband 02.28) closes up all the holes we know about that would have allowed a potential soft unlock or at least a downgrade. And they closed up the hole that the carrier simcards were using too."
So at this point, Dev Team IS telling us that 2.2 is a dead end for now. Will they find a new exploit? Maybe. But anyone that knows anything about hacking this stuff knows that there are no guarantees in finding an exploit.
Up until a month ago, the Dev Team was talking about a 3G unlock as "IF" not "When". 2.2 Firmware based unlock could take a year or more.
So yes, if your phone ships with 2.2 you are screwed as a brand new hole and exploit needs to be found.

And do I need to have iTunes 8.02? Someone please post step by step instructions for those who are a bit slow.

Hi all, I have just upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.2, I am on Windows XP. I upgraded using iTunes, and pwnd with the QuickPwn22.zip file. This has worked fine, however my phone does not activate properly.
I have a ATT sim card which I used before in 1.1.4 in iTunes to activate which always worked, now it seems to work. When I put back my T-Mobile sim card the phone complains about the SIM Card and locks up again. I can put back the ATT sim card, and load up iTunes and the phone unlocks and I can use it.
Any suggestions?

Ok I solved my problem...
Mistake on my part was that before I ran the QuickPWN tool, I had activated my iPhone in iTunes using my T-Mobile SIM Card.
To solve my issue, I have restored my iPhone again from the downloaded file from iTunes, and before doing anything, while leaving my T-Mobile SIM Card in, I ran the QuickPWN tool which then 'hactivated' my iPhone. Now everything is working!
ChildOTK
· 1 year ago
The thing is, the phone has been unlocked as far as working with T-Mobile. I see at the top it shows the name T-Mobile with all the bars...so it is connecting to the service provider...but the phone 'deactivates' rather. Not really 'locking up'. And because it 'deactivates' I can only make emergency calls.

i'm just afraid of the quickpwn... it has never worked for me
when i was updating to 2.1 i jsut found a custom firmware online and then used shift+restore on itunes and that was it.

Note, if you run an older software build of the OS/iTunes (or a newer update after it is released officially) instead of the default OS/iTunes installation on the "Late 2008" MacBook Pro (only example) you can use PwnageTool to build the IPSW, put an original iPhone into DFU mode, and unlock, jailbreak as normal. Haven't yet tried with a 3G, but looks to be software specific to those machines, nothing in the hardware...good to have bootable drives around...

Ok you have one extra step to do.
Go into Cydia->Sections->All packages and install BootNeuter. Launch it and turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock". Then tap "Flash". It'll ask you to reboot first, then you'll need to pick the same settings. Tap on "Flash" this time around too.
The iPhone will reboot and flash a new bootloader and baseband. Don't interrupt that process. After it finishes and reboots you should see your signal again.

STILL having big problems. installed BootNeuter. set Autolock to never, when i open BootNeuter it just freezes the phone entirely, and I have to hold home/power to reboot. boots up just fine, everything works, but Boot Neuter just freezes. Also, if i keep trying and get it to go, do i do version 3.9 or 4.6? im assuming just keep it at 3.9?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
You can keep it at 3.9, sure.
If you try it again and BootNeuter freezes (it's not really meant to be used outside of PwnageTool and QuickPwn), then you have two options:
1) if you have a Windows box, remove BootNeuter via Cydia but then go run QuickPwn for Windows. It will give you the option to install BootNeuter, so check that box (lower right).
2) Otherwise, use PwnageTool for OS X. Create a custom ipsw in Expert mode. In the General menu, keep the "Activate" box checked and change the partition size to 1000. Build the ipsw then use iTunes to "restore" to it.

i have an iPhone 2G. i updated it from 2.1 to 2.2 in iTunes, but when i start quickpwn in windows from the desktop now and select "iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw" it says "firmware error string". i also downloaded the .ipsw again and rebooted a several times. what is wrong?
Breno
· 1 year ago
I got that error after trying to quickpwn again, because I had set installer and cydia to be hidden, and without bossprefs I couldn't get those back.
Apparently, I restored using iTunes to 2.2, and then I ran quickpwn again. It's working!
Restore bugs me, I hate and takes ages, but solves most of this problems!

Me and 12 of my friends did a small test. 6 of us didn't change anything, just kept the 2.1 non-jailbroke iphone 3g. The other 6 of us did the update, with 3 of us doing it through itunes regularly and 3 of us doing it with keeping the old baseband with pwnage first then pwnage upgrade. The results were disturbing because the ones that got the updated baseband how some significantly better call quality/signal in areas that are known to be crappy where we live and those who didn't upgrade the baseband saw no change, just same poor quaility in that exact same area.
So my question is what does the baseband upgrade do as I see it being extremely useful in call quaility? Secondly, luckily most of us had a mac to upgrade with pwnage tool, how do we do that in windows to surpass the baseband upgrade if we wanted?

Use the "Check for update" button on iTunes and select "Download only". Then use the Search feature on your computer to search for the ipsw you just downloaded. that way you don't actually update your phone, you just get the software on your computer.

iTunes asks if you want to download only or download and install. Choose download only, if that's what you want. If you'd like the 2.2 without using iTunes, download it from a lot of different iPhone websites. Google it.
Download it in Itunes. connect your iphone, and click check for updates, and click download only. hope that helps.

for iphone 2G whats the point of upgrading baseband to 4.6 or downgrading to 3.9 what is the original baseband version?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
The 3.9 / 4.6 refers to the bootloader version, not the baseband version. Early iPhones shipped with 3.9, later ones with 4.6. ziphone forced a downgrade without warning you, so unless you knew what version you were at when you bought it, it's a tossup.

when i was updating to 2.1 i jsut found a custom firmware online and then used shift+restore on itunes and that was it.

Pwnage just failed to make my custom fw. I have seen other people reporting this. I made several cistom fws since april, this is the first time Pwnage fails (I set a 1000 Mb partition, btw). Do you know why?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
The log would help figure it out.
marcoiac
· 1 year ago
The log showed that Pwnage failed right after a Cydia-related step. I reran pretty much the same custom firmware, with only 2 changes: first, root partition at 600 Mb (the way I wanted it to begin with), and Installer checked. It worked. In the my previous failed attempt, i had unchecked Installed (since I never really used it). Maybe Pwnage fails if either Cydia or Installer are unchecked? Just a thought. Hope this helps
marcoiac
· 1 year ago
1000 Mb partition? But why? When I made my custom 2.1 I used a 750 Mb partition but for 2.2 I planned a smaller partition, I realized I don't need 750 Mb. And you guys tell me I need 1 Gb? Can you at least explain us why? Thanks!
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
1000 is just easier to remember :) If 750 works, go for it. An alternative is to remove either Installer or Cydia and keep the partition at 500MB.

If your 2g isn't on a carrier that already activates through iTunes, you need to jailbreak. There's no other way.

I know I'm not a dev, but I had a similar problem a while ago. If you have changed any of the system files it can happen. I did a dfu restore to 2.1 and then tried it. You might want to try it with 2.2 if it fails. Or hold down power and menu and try to QuickPwn it anyway.

Obviously Cydia and everything I installed with it are no longer there... but it's the fact that I didn't need to activate the phone what's making me wonder.

Hello, i am not sure about this. If i update through itunes to stock 2.2 firmware, then use it for a while while it is unjailbroken, then later use pwnagetool to restore to a jailbroken ipsw, will it downgrade my baseband to the one i have right now(2.1's)? i know if i just use quickpwn, it will ignore the baseband update, but will pwnagetool downgrade my baseband firmware back to the previous one that came with the stock 2.2 fw? i own a iphone 3g with USA AT&T. thanks in advance!!!!

Small issue. Upon updating and running 2.2 and QuickPwn (Mac) there is no installer or Cydia and I can't SSH into the phone.

My issue, was that before the update I had cydia and Installer "Poofed" by BossPrefs, and it seems that updating to 2.2 erased BossPrefs.

i have a 2G iphone. you said restore from iTunes and quickpwn. which ipsw do i direct iTunes to during the restore? i am downloading the 2.2 restore ipsw but last time with 2.1 i used pwnage to create the ipsw i restored from. should i do that again this time?
I'm having some issues though... creating my custom ipsw works fine, but as soon as I boot into DFU mode and try to option-click restore and select the custom firmware, I get a 1600 error code. After reverting back to the genuine Apple 2.1 update and trying to option-click restore without going into DFU mode, I get the same error. I have just tried to use the Pwnage tool and clicked "no" when asked if I had pwned my phone before, and after getting into DFU mode I got error code 21. I've put genuine 2.1 software back onto my iPhone but am not sure why it's not working?
Any ideas?

I seem to have, somehow, got it working. Restored 2.1 genuine using iTunes and then restored a backup of my phone. When that was happy I ran Pwnage and created a new custom firmware, selected "no" when asked if it had been pwned before, and off we went. Once I had put the phone into DFU mode I did get an error code 1... unplugged my iPhone and plugged back in, to which iTunes told me the phone was in recovery mode. Selected my custom firmware and hurrah - it seems to be doing it's thing now, nice status bar on the restore too.

In my case, when I got the "1600" Error I did the following very easy thing... I found out that there seems to be no reason for a "DFU/Restore/Whatsoever"-Mode
I simply switched my I phone back to normal mode... and then pressed the option key and told iTunes to restore my iPhone with the custom FW and... it worked. After this, iTunes asked to configure as a new iPhone or to restore from backup - I choosed from a backup.
Now I am going to restore my apps from cydia AND: ONCE AGAIN: Thanks for your work!!!!!!

You would have paid a very hefty premium for it. And sim cards from multiple carriers would work.

I have a suggestion folks. First I would say a big thanks to Dev Team. They are the best, no doubt. And we need to support them even if it's not financially. These guys rock!
The reason why we are all have the problem is because of the over zealous Apple team. these guyz make a killing on people and the would, if given a chance, monopolize the phone industry. but at least we have Dev Team.
my suggestion is this: We can force these as$ holes to reprice their pricey phones and free them to the public. We can do that by sealing the loop holes that make them benefit from locking these phones. We can bankrupt that silly apps store that milk cash from us by creating similar applications on Cydia or installer. I cant stand the apple guyz they truly get into my nerves.
Also we need to listen to the Dev Team. When they say DO NOT do xyz, please let us stick to that these guys wish us nothing but the best. I realized that a lot of people refused to listen to them.
Any suggestions on how to force apple to bankruptcy....?

While I agree that it is dumb they lock their phones to this extent and do not allow 3rd party apps, it really is not that big of a deal. We have nice people like the dev team to help us out. As far a monopolizing the phone industry that's funny. Innovating yes, most definitely; monopolizing, watch any phone ad, they all try to be the iPhone. Bankrupting Apple, not possible unless you get an accountant position a cook their books. Their market shares in everything is constantly growing and they are constantly creating new markets (see iPhone and iPod) and innovating the others. If you don't like Apple don't buy their products...and don't buy Pixar films

You probably failed to install the latest PwnageTool try downloading 2.2.1 again.

If you have the 2.2 baseband (02.28.00) on there... Jailbreak: will work sim proxy or potential soft unlock: won't work
Ozzi

yea i got baseband 02.28.00 so there is no way to downgrade the baseband ? And when u say wont work, is that just for now or forever.
Rekoil
· 1 year ago
They have stated at this time that they can not see a hole in the 02.28.00 baseband. That doesn't mean there isn't one. But updating to 02.28.00 after all their warnings was a foolish move if you were hoping to unlock.

but how much time it will take you to get 2.2 baseband unlocked? just estimated time if u can please, cause i use sim proxy now, and after u release soft unlock for 2.1 i can't decide to use it or wait for you to release 2.2, it would be foolish to reinstall all the progs using 2.1, if u release 2.2 unlock in a week after 2.1 unlock, so please answer just an estimated time?

Hello guys, i have one question: Apple updated the bootloader for the 3G, so what does that man? Do you have to hack the bootloader again, and all your work youve done the last months is useless (i mean the work on hacking baseband and try to unlock the 3g). Do we have to wait another 4 months or longer, till youve hacked the baseband again, or how should i understand that?
greetings from austria fat_toni

· 1 year ago
I'm thinking about just waiting a little longer. I mean whats so good about 2.2 anyway... anything??? I have a pwnagetool'd 3G 2.1 running perfectly. When Apple comes out with something new we all feel like we NEED to get it. Maybe instead of risking a bricked phone or invisible cydia, or future soft unlocks, maybe just wait a little longer for a better pwnage tool. Because for real is there anything in 2.2 that is that great? I like my pdanet (tethering), 5 icon dock, and the best 3rd party app, the flashlight. Thats all I need for now, good luck with everyone

This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.". then if with can't use quickpwn how we do it

First: You're ingenious, Dev Team, thanks a millions.
I have a few questions because I am new to the process of jailbreaking: When I jailbreak and later on, there is an update from apple - will all of my apps be gone, when I update? Will they continue to exist just like the Appstore apps do, when I update?
Are you working on the iPod Touch any time soon now?
Thanks again

thanks to the dev team for all their hard work!!!
but im a bit confused by some of the choices on offer.
I currently have a jailbroken 3g iphone running running 2.1 fw. i am looking to update to firmware 2.2 but am unsure what i should do. what are my choices or what do i need to do? do i update via itunes then run quickpwn or do i just run quickpwn. and what will this mean in the longterm in terms of unlocking? and what is a soft unlock (and therefore hard unlock)? please advise. thanks
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
A soft unlock means removing the carrier lock via software. If you update to firmware 2.2 on your iPhone 3G without removing the baseband update, you will lose this potential ability in the future should a tool become available.
So, if you don't care about this and are happy to stay on the official carrier, update to firmware 2.2 using iTunes and then QuickPwn to jailbreak.
If you do want the potential ability in the future to unlock the phone via software, use PwnageTool to create a custom firmware file, removing the baseband update, that you can then restore using iTunes.

Ist there now way for a Windows-User to build a right one or is the WinPwn2.5ß2 the right one 4 it ?

Hey Guys,
I got a problem pwning my 2G iPhone on a late 2008 MacBook :-/ Previously, it was a QuickPwned 2.1 (Win) working perfectly. What I did: - Restore to 2.2 in iTunes (8.0.2) - Try QuickPwn -> got stuck where DFU Mode get's activated (of course...) - Try PwnageTool -> Created Custom IPSW (increase Partition size, tried with and without Bootneuter (I guess I don't need it as my Phone still seems to be unlocked?)) -> Recovery Mode -> Restore to Custom FW -> Error 21
Does anyone have an Idea how to unbrick? I can still Restore to Original FW in iTunes, but whenever I wanna use Custom FW, I get Error 21 after a while... No other machine available over here.. :-/
Is it an issue with Itunes 8.x? Does a USB Hub really help with DFU mode?
Thanks for ANY help!
sami
· 1 year ago
you have made a horrible mistake, i dont know why u ppl dont read instructions, first baby, u had to just create custom ipsw, then restore your iphone with this file that u have created with pwnage tool, u can restore it in itunes by just coping this file in the update folder where itunes is supposed to look for any new downloaded firmwares, i think what i have done is so stupid, u've updated the baseband firmware by using itunes original firmware. thats what iphone dev team confirm it over and over u have to just update the iphone os without the baseband ....i really have no idea how to down grade your baseband and i think the error is comming from there.

As I said -- iPhone 2G -- NOT 3G -- no baseband update in 2.2 -- no stupid mistake. Stop blaming ppl for not reading the instructions before reading their posts properly please. Thx.

You must use QuickPwn with your unofficial SIM in at the time. This ensures the phone is 'hacktivated'.

it worked for me. right after the restore to 2.2, iTunes will say that you have an unsupported sim in. Just close iTunes, and open Quickpwn (with your sim inserted). Run Quickpwn, and if you haz succeeded, when you plug up to iTunes, everything should be just fine. At least, it was for me.

Seems that, generally, the unlock proccess not works with SIM pin locked, I just remember to have had read this some time ago from some hackint0sh thread (sorry not to locate it for now). Suggest you to try one of the follow: (a) try to clear the pin password from your SIM, in another phone set, or (b) try to repeat process in your iPhone with another, non-pin locked vodaphone SIM.
Just tryin around...

For iPhone 3G, if you want to retain your current baseband, you cannot use QuickPwn.

For some reason the unlock hasn't held. Google 'DFU mode', and restore your phone to stock 2.2 firmware. Then re-run QuickPwn, selecting the Unlock option. Note that only QuickPwn for Windows supports unlocking.
Any other problems, jump in the IRC channel and ask for help unlocking your iPhone 2G.

It worked!!! Anyone else having the same problem, you need to do two things..
1) Make sure you remove the lock from your sim card using another phone. 2) restore using DFU mode. I couldnt get it into the right mode until I watched this video: http://www.appstoreapps.com/2008/09/22/iphone-t... Then it finally went into restore mode without the USB icon coming up. I restored, reQUICKpwnd and whammy.

Im thinking of getting a Mac Laptop. Please tell me which one would be best to unlock / jailbreak and use Pwnage with no problems.
Im confused on what you folks meant: The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.
What is Stock to Pwned? Could you explain this?

It means if you've already pwned your iphone, no matter what laptop you buy, you'll be fine. However, if you buy one of the new laptops you can never pwn an iphone that has never been pwned on that laptop. If you have a virgin iphone (never been pwned) you could pwn it on a different machine or your current one and when you get a new macbook you'll be fine.
summary: you can't pwn an iphone that's never been pwned on a new macbook, but you can upgrade if it's been pwned before

Could we change bootlogos in the data folder (in quickpwn ?) Thnaks !
PoorladRob

If you extract QuickPwn22-1 there is a Data folder, yes, and if you change the boot logos in there they will be applied. There's no GUI option for this however, so you're on your own.

Well, actually I take that back. I quickpwn'd just fine. Then decided to do custom boot logo with quickpwn and it didn't work. I had to do as someone mentioned above and restore with iTunes and then quickpwn. Never could quickpwn to work with custom image. It would load the image and display it, but would get stuck and never completely boot past the image

For anyone interested, I updated (not restored) a 2G iPhone that had previously been activated, unlocked and jailbroken with QuickPwn. After the update it is still activated and unlocked. I have not yet jailbroken it.

God, I cant wait for the 2G ipod to get jailbroken, its driving me nuts, I bought the new one and gave my 1st Gen away, now I'm stuck with no jailbroken ipod! I'm guessing the 2g jailbreak will be out pretty soon though considering it hopefully doesnt have the problem that the 3g had and will hopefully be a little easier to get into, i have no iphone, but great work, great software, and thank you for all the hard work!

Already pwned (activated,unlocked,JB iphone 2G) to 2.1 using pwnage.
Didnt want cydia or installer for the time being.
Just followed the following steps.
1. Open itunes 2. Connect iphone 3. iphone prompts that 2.2 firmware is available. 4. Hit restore 5. Done 6. Simple !!!!
Can always use quickpwn (windows) later if I want cydia/installer, no ?
thanks dev-team.

Need Help. Sorry for such a basic question but I don't understand how the software works. I have a locked iPhone 3g, I downloaded PwnageTool 2.2 for Mac OS X, when I run it and click on iPhone 3G, it searches and finds these Restore ipsw files. Where are these? How do I know which file to use so as to preserve my baseband? Thanks for any help...

Creating custom firmware 2.2 worked fine. Set iPhone 2G (original firmware 1.1, running 2.1) in DFU mode and got error 1600 after trying to alt-install custom firmware (just after extracting). Alt-install from normal mode (no DFU, no restore) just worked fine as others have stated above.

I restored my iPhone 3G from 2.1 to 2.2 (with firmware downloaded from apple servers), then tried running QuickPwn2.2 and on the second screen where it checks for correct firmware and hardware versions, it said with red letters that I have 2.1 on my iPhone (but both iPhone 'about' screen and iTunes says 2.2) and that it can't continue. What can I do now?
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Try restoring again I would think, as it seems it hasn't been completed successfully.
pyro
· 1 year ago
So, downloaded firmware and quickpwn again. Restored with downloaded firmware, restored backup of my settings, synced appstore apps. Opened quickpwn, and still the same "selected firmware does not match firware on your device" error.
First difference from quickpwn2.1 is that when I ran it, it didn't allready point to firmware witch was in the same directory as quickpwn. 2.1 was very nice with this thing. oh, whell - so I hit browse, pointed to firmware (thinking that it's pointing to the same directory with that browse screen), and it gives me the same "wrong version" message. Then I noticed that when I press browse on quickpwn does not 'point' to the same directory - instead it points to some weird itunes firmware update folder. I switched it to the 'right' one, and bingo - it works!
bottom line - be very careful, and just don't click next-next-next as usual in windows, but pay attention. and - why doesn't quickpwn point to firmware in the same folder as it is located (as was in 2.1)?
p.s. - big thanks - everything is working perfectly!!!
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
The behaviour hasn't actually changed - it always looked in your iPhone Update folder first, and if none were found it defaulted to QuickPwn's working directory. The difference this time is that you DID have something in your iPhone Update folder so it went for that by default.
pyro

oh, i didn't know that. well - still thanks for this wonderful tool. got back all my cydia apps, so i'm happy. and thank's again! you guys still amaze me - you pretty much must be geniuses!

I haven't actually changed any code relating to detecting firmwares so I would guess it's simply an iTunes bug - try restoring again.

I have an iPhone 2G and I've been using pwnage for mac since the very beginning. Since the update to 2.1 (or was it 2.0, i dont remember) my calls have become very quiet. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding my friends when they're calling me. I thought maybe it has something to do with the bootloader. Do you guys think it would help if I restored my iPhone with a completely new custom Firmware using the PwnageTool, instead of relying on QuickPwn?

You very possibly chose the 'Activate' option when one wouldn't be needed if you were on an official carrier. Recreate a custom IPSW without this option and restore again.

PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Heh ooo you should never see 'firmware error string', that's a development thing. I'll look into it. However I suspect the issue is that you're providing an incorrect firmware to QuickPwn.
Edit - yes, while I made a mistake not having a 'nice' error message, it basically means the firmware isn't recognised, or it's corrupted somehow. Redownload it.

Guys can I just clarify something. Have an iPhone 3G, with 2.1. Want to install 2.2 - but need to preserve 2.1 baseband. My iPhone is 3G is locked to the UK O2 carrier and I'm using a YesSIM to use the iPhone on my own VodaFone carrier.
a) Run Pwnange Tool 2.21 b) In simple mode - select iPhone 3G -> Select the 2.2 ipsw (DL from Apple) c) When prompted "Do I have a iPHone 3G contract and normally activate through iTunes" -> Select NO. d) Type in Mac OS X admin Password e) Done - iPhone custom ipsw created. f) In iTunes - use Cmd-Restore and manually select the custom ipsw that just been created.
Is that all correct ?

Hi! This is just hypotetical question, but if i get custom 2.2 ipsw from somewhere to my hand, can i verify that the ipsw doesn't include baseband update. The reason why i'm asking is becouse i have only windows machine, but i still like to update to 2.2 without losing chance to soft unlock later.

Hi. I have a 3g 16 gig iphone, which half an hour ago had a activated jailbroken 2.1 on it. In the meantime, I found that there is a custom firmware for the 3g 2.2 (without baseband update) and I decided to give it a go. I had iTunes 8.0.1.11 (im updating to 8.0.2 right now, im curious if this version prevents use of custom firmwares, or messes any part of the jailbreaking process up). I tryed everything. Sending my iphone into DFU mode (not recovery mode) and it gave me error 1600. I tried recovery mode restore, same thing, I tried normal restore mode, same thing. I decided to get it into DFU mode again, and install a clean non-custom 2.1. It then took me all the way through errors 9, 1062, and 6. So now, I have an unactivated, locked 2.1 that I am trying to update to the custom 2.2. I already tried that, and it still gave me error 1600. I just updated itunes to 8.0.2, (Vista 32bit) and Im curious of how things will go................... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The custom firmware did not include the 2.2 baseband THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you please send us the link to that custom firmware without BB update?
Thanks to the Dev Team for your hard work and dedication. Amazing stuff.
After having read through about 750 comments here, I would like to ask for a clarification about the 3G iPhone network unlocking. I understand that updating the baseband to 02.28.00 will damage my prospects of using a Dev Team software unlock in the future. My question is slightly different.
I have a 3G iPhone which is currently locked to the Optus network in Australia. I do not have a Mac, and therefore cannot use PwnageTool to jailbreak firmware version 2.2 while preserving the 02.11.07 baseband. Regardless, I would like to upgrade to the new baseband to take advantage of whatever improvements have been made to call quality / dropouts / etc (if any).
So, my questions:
a) If I update the baseband to 02.28.00 using QuickPwn, would Optus still be able to unlock my iPhone? b) If I have Optus unlock my iPhone first, will the iPhone remain unlocked after updating the baseband to 02.28.00?
Put another way:
c) Will updating the baseband to 02.28.00 prevent me from ever unlocking my iPhone, or will it only prevent me from using a Dev Team soft-unlock?
Thank you.

I did the same thing with the exception that I first did a stock update ( because I wanted the baseband update ) and then used the custom firmware. My YouTube is working. Maybe that's the difference, although I can't imagine YouTube being dependent on the baseband. Did you try simply redoing the restore and checking YouTube before installing all the third party apps again? ( Maybe there is a conflict with something you install )

ok.. maybe I am missing something here.. i have scanned this blog, but so many posts and not seeing answer so far....
i had a 2.1 jailbroken phone, then i downloaded the latest quickpwn for 2.2, i chose the UPDATE option as it shows I can do above in iTunes, and then I ran the new quickpwn tool and i am now successfully back at a jailbroken 2.2 fully working phone, HOWEVER......
all of my installed cydia apps /themes/icons are gone from the home screen, but still are on the phone's hard drive....
is there a way to make them appear again? or am i stuck restoring to delete it all and having to reinstall EVERYTHING all over? i tried to SSH back in with no luck....
Maybe the ability to retain customizations and cydia programs are lost with every upgrade and I just havent seen anything that states that yet...
thanks to anyone who can answer this question for me....

You're correct - third-party non-AppStore applications break with Updates. You need to restore and reinstall.

PoorladRob

"Firmware error string" will be replaced in an update, but it basically means QuickPwn couldn't verify that the firmware was supported, or that one of its internal files has become corrupted.
Re-download the firmware, and re-download QuickPwn and try again. Also, what operating system are you on, just for reference?

I unfortunately got the warnings too late and updated my previously jail-broken 3G to 2.2 using itunes. Then, of course, I realized all my apps were gone and after doing some research I finally got the warning. I tried to use Pwnage anyways with no success. What happens is it builds the file and then goes "I haz success" and makes me put it in that weird mode thing and after that I go to itunes and it makes me restore the phone.
Do any of you think you can help me out? I've tried downgrading to 2.1, but no methods seem to work. Will the devteam come out with something in the future to jailbreak 2.2?
Thank you do much -Emma

Success! Here's my stats: 2G iPhone, previously unlocked & Jailbroken. Was running 2.0 with T-Mob as carrier.
Here's my experience: Started process last night. "Update"ed through iTunes to 2.2. It started to add 2.2 to my phone, then went into it's normal "Backing up iphone," which took so long I went to bed. When I woke up, my iPhone was on 2.2, and it still showed t-mobile (I left my T-Mob SIM card in the whole time). I made a call, and everything was fine. Then ran Quickpwn on my Mac Pro (intel - quad-core). Took a few minutes, but everything went perfect. I now have cydia, installer, my old cracked apps (had to SSH them again - but worth it), and phone works flawlessly on t-mobile.
Hope this helps a few of you.

since its a factory unlocked one, you can easily upgrade and use the quickpwn and cydia will be brought on the springboard. the previous jailbroken will work but will not stay.
anyone knows a easy method to backup jailbroken apps... please share...

Thanks for your answer. So you have to reinstall the apps. Just to be sure...

Updating your phone with iTunes will usually screw with any non-appstore Applications. Better to restore and then reinstall. Or research an app called 'aptbackup' which is supposed to allow backups of jailbreak apps.

I'm confused. I ran Pwnage Tool successfully. Now it says "use iTunes to restore". Can this be the way?
PoorladRob

PwnageTool creates a custom IPSW file that you then use iTunes to restore with.
drrules
· 1 year ago
You're thinking of QuickPwn. Pwnage Tool creates a custom ipsw that you need to restore with through iTunes and an optional ipsw search. (Hold down option on a mac when clicking restore and select the custom firmware

Yes, I have aptbackup installed, but never try to restore. This will be the first restore atempt (after upgrade to 2.2, which I should do later today).
I'll post a followup as the proccess ends..
MSiqueira
· 1 year ago
but remember, aptbackup does only a backup of jailbroken apps sourcers and install info, does not backup apps data as of it. It means that, if you have apps like iLog or something, it will not preserve the data, you should do this manually for every 3rd party app
I learned that the hard way, my wife used to control periods with iWoman, now (after loosing all data after 2.1 upgd.) she's pregnant....owch.

PLEASE HELP AND AWNSER MY QUESTION!! ITS A SIMPLE ONE!!!!
Hi i have a question. i have a custom iphone 3g running fw 2.1
I have a windows xp system so i cant use the Mac PwnageTool to create a custom .ipsw to preserve my baseband.
Will the non updated winpwn tool preserve the baseband too? or wil it just create a custom firmware?
The winpwn tool does have an option for the custom 2.2 ipsw
Anyone???

I have a late 2008 MacBook and an iPhone that has been pwned before. After the pwnage Tool process, iTunes no longer sees the iPhone.
fordred
· 1 year ago
I had the same sort of problem. Everyone knows the new laptops can't do anything to the iPhone when it's in DFU mode, but I'm even having trouble doing stuff to it when it's in Restore Mode. I've tried using some custom firmware made by Pwnage, but I get Error 21 after it's finished extracting in iTunes. I've managed to restore (using the official firmware) to 2.2, and when I restored the phone from backup, I managed to save a few changes (like the SMS Status notification, as well as all my other settings) However, I can't get Cydia on the phone because of the problem restoring using anything but official firmware

I update the iphone 3G on itunes to 2.2 on an official phone. But when using quickpwn for MAC (in a new macbook pro) and after entering dfu mode, quickpwn for mac just hangs wothout sending anything to the iphone?!!!! How should I turnaround this?
Adam

if you don't care about the jailbreak at the moment, you can unplug the iPhone and press and hold the home and power button together until the phone resets.
This is what I have to do until someone can help me figure out how to get quickpwn to work with the late 2008 macs

I'm having an issue, before it was saying invalid sim...now iTunes is telling me it cannot recognize the iPhone and to reconnect error 2001.

"The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine. "

I am not sure that I understood. You wrote this...
GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
You've said that we shouldn't use quickpwn, but I do not understand if this affects all fw or just fw 2.2? I have locked 3G 2.1 jailbreaked with quickpwn 2.1. So now I shouldnt upgrade to 2.2 and jailbreak this fw if I want soft unlock, or I already won't be able to unlock my phone because I already jailbreaked it with quickpwn 2.1?
P.

I tried to patch iPhone 3G v2.2, but QuickPwn stays on 'Wait for your iPhone to connect in Recovery Mode' forever. iPhone displays USB plug and iTunes logo and on the system list of USB devices there is 'Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB Driver'. And nothing more happens, it's just stuck there. Any hints?
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Make sure you've updated to the latest iTunes. Also try a different USB port, restart your computer etc. Things to try that could stop QuickPwn from detecting your device once booted into recovery mode.

If your phone is jailbroken then you probably have Cydia installed. Open Cydia, go to Featured Packages and install Winterboard. Restart your phone.
Now I don't know how to install a theme from a file on your computer but to install them directly on your phone do this:
Open Cydia again and go to sections where you can choose from plenty of themes.

If you have no desire to potentially unlock your iPhone 3G in the future, you can safely use iTunes to update to firmware 2.2 followed by QuickPwn to jailbreak.

If I use PwnageTool, will I be able to UPDATE the firmware and keep all the 3rd party apps? Or will it be a RESTORE to a jailbroken 2.2 with only Installer and Cydia?

On the 3g unlock issue, is it not possible to copy the complete baseband from an unlocked iPhone 3G and use it to overwrite the baseband in a locked 3G? Just wondering how this all works.
Once the unlock is eventually released, will we be able to do firmware updates in iTunes like any other factory unlocked iPhone or will the apple software still be able to tell that it was hack-unlocked and re-lock it?
When eventually I do upgrade to 2.2 by using QuickPwn, will it just upgrade my phone without any changes to any of my applications or will format the phone and install as a complete new rom?

I ,after many failed attempts, got my iPhone 3G on AT&T into 2.2 jailbroken. My only problem is now i have lost signal. I may have accidently left the activation box checked, but I believe i did this on the 2.1 and it still worked. Anyway i can fix it, hopefully without having to restore again.

I have a problem that I've spent several hours already searching for and found no answers. Any help is appreciated. I have a new iPhone 3g with the latest firmware installed, 2.2 -- attempted to jailbreak with QuickPwn -- all goes fine until the program reaches the point where it asks you to wait until the iPhone connects in recovery mode. It never proceeds to tell me to "Hold the home button for 5 seconds" etc etc. My iPhone goes into recovery mode, it shows the USB Plug pointing to iTunes on the screen, but the program never continues after that first line of Bold text. Tried restart, tried a different USB port, tried every common sense tactic I can think of.
Thanks for the great work guys.... When will quickPWN for mac work on the new macbooks pro??

Having some trouble upgrading, jailbreaking and unlocked a 1G iphone on Mac, but it succeded at last.
First attempt: Upgraded with iTunes 8.0.1. Firmware upgraded successfully. Unlocked with signal. Quickpwnage for Mac completed succesfully, but iphone keept on rebooting, saying a buzz sound once a while. Watched at least 5 reboots
Second attempt: Upgraded to 8.0.2 (perhaps a mistake?): Got into Restore mode (DFU?) after building a custom image with PwnageTool 2.2.1 (saying Yes to already pwnage) built in expert mode, but this keept on failing with error 1600.
Third attempt: Downgraded to iTunes 8.0.1 and built a new image saying no to already pwnaged, this time in simple mode. This worked!

you should deactivate the Activation in the Pwnage Expert Mode if you use your phone with the standard carrier.

ALLRIGHT! Thank u very much. I use PwnageTool and make a Custom Firmware with the Activation hack UNCHECKED and let iTunes activate the iPhone. Now it works! :D
Don't understand why DevTeam checked it/don't inform about that. :(

With respect, I think things are not detailed enough. A lot of us can handle all this, but it takes a little hand holding. Today's blog was detailed, but not detailed enough. I finally did it today. It took 5 hours. I don't want the pineapple, but I'm stuck with it. I followed the minimal directions for a late 2008 MacBook, but still, the MacBook iTunes wouldn't recognize the iPhone after pwnage. I switched to an older Mac and after some real stress, was able to get it done. I think the Dev Team does phenomenal work. I wish there was a more step by step approach to this.

I really need help......how do you downgrade to 2.1?
David
· 1 year ago
This is great! THANK YOU!
Just one question. I get the whole concept of upgrading via Pwnage vs. Itunes. BUT, aside form that, is it safe to get iTunes itself upgraded to 8.2? Must it remain as 8.0.1 for use with Pwnage? No one seems to be addressing this.
Thanks.

same problem. Case of not reading instructions for the 2.2 release. Looks like it may have been fixed in the 2.2.1 but anyways... The little bit of instruction up there (now crossed out) says to uncheck the hacktivate box and increase the partition size to 1000 for 3G. I did that and network came back. Use advanced mode

Below, step-by-step instructions on downloading & installing new 2.2 firmware update & pwnage. Links included.
Some friends and I seem to have the same problems with 2.2.
We can`t access the BigBoss-Repo - We can see it in Cydia, but there are no packages in it.
Neither a new installation of the source nor a complete restore of the phones did help.
We all have the 2G iphones.
Another friend wo has the iPhone 3G has no problems at all with 2.2. and BigBoss-Repo

I believe the new Cydia and Installer versions have a version flag on apps. The app info may have to be updated to say that they support the new Apple software. (not that the apps actually have to be updated)

I may be experiencing the same problem. Several apps that I try to install via Cydia keep throwing an error that the package cannot be found within my current sources. I've been using the same sources as always and this is the first time I've seen this. Maybe one of the souces is offline?

Hi Guys,
I am new to JailBreaking and I have few doubts:
I am using iphone 3g Locked and I don't have MAC machine.Also I upgraded to 2.2 firmware
1) I can use QuickPwn for jailbreaking in windows. 2) QuickPwn will not unlock Carrier. 3) I dont want to unlock carrier now but may be 3 months later. 4) Is it good to jailbreak now? 5) What extra I will get after jail breaking? 6) How is performance impact after installing cydia , installer and other jail broken applicaiton.?

Hi Dev Team! I have a question I am hoping that someone can answer.
When one Jailbreaks a phone, does the jailbreak modify/add to the existing firmware, OR, does it replace some of the new firmware files with some older files from previous firmwares that have been modified before.
My reasoning in asking is this: does a Jailbreak, in any way, revert the firmware back to previous versions of firmware, and in doing so, carry along the bugs of the previous firmware.
My 2.1 jailbroken phone felt buggy and sluggish compared to a clean formatted 2.1 phone. Thanks for your time, and your work is greatly appreciated.

I just ran quickpwn22 on my 3G iPhone purchased in Belgium, it is unlocked for all providers out of the shop. After running quickpwn22, I got "No Service". After a restore to factory settings and a restore of my back up I am back to where I started.
I had upgraded the iPhone first to 2.2 using iTunes with whatever it downloaded from Apple When running Quickpwn22, I pointed it to the same ipsw file it used for upgrading
Should I have used an ipsw file like the one I grabbed from iClarified.com? Or is there something different?
All help appreciated

Why can't I get a stable install of Cydia? All it does is crash on startup. I've tried everything, including building the IPSW with ONLY Cydia and no other applications.

Gee, that was helpful. Did you spend much time writing that so informative reply?
For what it's worth.. if others are having issues with Cydia crashing on launch, here's how to fix it....
Build a new IPSW and ONLY CHOOSE THE CYDIA package to install. Do not install any other software in the ipsw, just Cydia. You'll then have to download and install the other items from Cydia after the restore is complete.

** ISSUE SOLVED ** Not sure if my post made it: I used quickpwn22 on a 3G iPhone purchased in Belgium (=it is officially unlocked for all carriers out of the box) and after the quickpwn22 run that otherwise worked fine: "No Service". I got normal service again after a factory restore with iTunes. The steps I used:
Upgraded to 2.2 with iTunes and file downloaded from Apple site Used quickpwn22 using that same ipsw file I followed on-screen instructions and all worked fine it seemed, except ...
Anything I missed? Well yes, I have to use the proper ipsw file like the one I downloaded from iClarified .com ... I got fooled by the fact that the original and modified ipsw files have the same name and the quickpwn22 as a default pointed to the iTunes upgrade directory rather than somewhere else.

Neither QuickPwn 2.2 nor PwnageTool 2.2.1 will work on my previously Jailbroken 1G iPod touch uder MacOS X 10.5.5 and iTunes 8.0.2. Once started, neither can be quit normally and neither is able to locate the ipsw file (iPod1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw) which I can see is located at:
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
Eventually, Pawnage Tool 2.2.1 lets me locate the .ipsw file and defaults to the correct directory (raising the question of why it couldn't be found in the first place). So I'm building a custom ipsw file and wondering why QuickPwn didn't work for me.

if you end up with no service after a jailbreak just do a search for bootneuter with cydia, and download it to your phone, bootneuter settings, should be Neuter On, FakeBlank Off, and Unlock On. Do not interupt, wait till its finished and you'll have service again.

If you knew to come here and post a question, you knew to come here and check for information before you "accidently" upgraded. To date devteam has stated they do not see a hole in the newest baseband. We can hope they find one, but don't hold your breath.

iPhone 2G worked without a hitch (I wonder why people are having so trouble with this).
On a Mac - itunes 8.0.2 + IPSW 2.2 + PwnageTool 2.2.1 = create custom IPSW > move to library/itunes/iPhone Software Updates - Plug in iphone & click Restore.

According to the Dev Team you will not be able to use the Soft Unlock when it is released. The current way in to achieve an unlock depends on 2.1 or previous baseband.
Maybe after the first soft unlock is out, they will find a way to break the 2.2 baseband, but it is unknown at this point.

There is a problem with the 2.2 version of the jailbreak that existed in the 2.1 jailbreak (I am using quickpwn for windows). Once jailbroken and when location services are off, you can no longer automatically turn on location services from the pop up in Maps, or any other program that requires location services. When the window comes up asking if you want to turn on location services, and you select "OK", nothing happens and location services stays off. I have tried to find anyone who has a workaround this, but it does';t appear there are any

This is not a jailbreak bug. I was running 2.1 without jailbreak and it behaved exactly as you describe. Prior to 2.1, selecting oK would take you to the settings menu.

Please help I bricked my iphone. I successfully created a custom firmware package and upgraded my 16gb 3g iphone last night. Everything went smooth until the phone rebooted itself and would not go back into springboard. I rebooted multiple times and all i got was the steve jobs russian recovery screen. I tried restoring from there with both custom and official firmware and continue to get error code 6. I tried this on my mac running leopard and a windows xp machine with no luck. DFU doesn't work either with the same error code or sometimes i get 1601 error.

well DFU mode has been making some problems on my Mac OSX 10.5. Try recovery mode (plug-in your USB, turn off the phone, hold just the home botton, unplug USB) you should be in recovery mode with the USB and the apple sign.
Now option+resotre and test it out.

This has to be the shittiest firmware that I have encountered on a phone. It is buggy, effing slow and Safari crashes regularly.

I have just used Quicpkwn22 to upgrade it and what a breath of fresh air. The device is twice the speed it was, if not more, and is a joy to use.
Thanks Dev team for your continued work and Jobber the Tosser for a half decent firmware AT LAST.

Another possibility is plug it into the computer with QwickPwn Running and when it tells you to go into DFU mode do it then.
I've, for some reason, had situations before where QuickPwn, was trying to do something when my iPhone wasn't working, suddenly shocked the iPhone back into working order. I don't attempt to explain it... it just works sometimes.

Read how to jailbreak Firmware 2.2 with QuickPwn for Windows at Hack the iPod touch.
Cydia not showing up! 1)you have it hidden. 2)you need to quickpwn
Solution1: 1.Make sure you install SSH on your iPhone when your running PwnTool 2.2 (OpenSSH) 2.Upload BossPrefs.app and unhide cydia or installer 2)Upload Categories.app and take those files out of the folders Soluction 2: 1.QuickPwn the phone after you make a custom IPSW and there ya go..

Thanks to the Dev Team for your hard work and dedication. Amazing stuff.
After having read through about 750 comments here, I would like to ask for a clarification about the 3G iPhone network unlocking. I understand that updating the baseband to 02.28.00 will damage my prospects of using a Dev Team software unlock in the future. My question is slightly different.
I have a 3G iPhone which is currently locked to the Optus network in Australia. I do not have a Mac, and therefore cannot use PwnageTool to jailbreak firmware version 2.2 while preserving the 02.11.07 baseband. Regardless, I would like to upgrade to the new baseband to take advantage of whatever improvements have been made to call quality / dropouts / etc (if any).
So, my questions:
a) If I update the baseband to 02.28.00 using QuickPwn, would Optus still be able to unlock my iPhone? b) If I have Optus unlock my iPhone first, will the iPhone remain unlocked after updating the baseband to 02.28.00?
Put another way:
c) Will updating the baseband to 02.28.00 prevent me from ever unlocking my iPhone, or will it only prevent me from using a Dev Team soft-unlock?
Thank you.

Hi matthawke. I'm not working with the dev team, however i can assure you that the only reason why Apple updated their baseband is to prevent unlocking.
Have a pleasant day
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Daniel, well that's not true. It's one of the reasons. But not the only reason.
Matthawke, an official unlock by a legitimate iPhone carrier, such as Optus, will always be fine whatever the baseband version is. This is an unlock that's done through your carrier and iTunes and is entirely legitimate.
The soft unlock, an unofficial unlock in development for those that don't have the privilege of having a carrier who will unlock, is what's affected by the baseband update in 2.2.

Right, so I upgraded my 2g iphone to 2.2 using quickpwn but now none of the online functions recognize my network. For example, my screen shows that wireless is available (all 3 bars are lit up) yet safari says I'm not connected to the internet, and itunes store has the old "cannot connect to itunes store". same problem for every application with online functions.
I've tried rolling back my install to version 2.1 but it still has the SAME problem. I will try rolling all the way back to 1.1.4 and see how we go. but has anyone come across this before? Itd be great to have a working iphone again..... please help me Devteam!

Please help me out - Cydia is now crashing back to springboard upon selection of filter - GUI, etc. I just upgraded to 2.2 using Pwnage 2.2.1. I used the "correct" firmware - NOT from Itunes. I used expert mode, etc. Followed directions on iClarify to the letter. It was previously Jailbroken as 2.1. So, where do I go from here?

Im soryy, I dont quite understand.
"GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool."
isnt pwnage tool already a soft unlock?

I have 2G 1st gen iPhone and used PWNED to get it to 2.1 and before I apply the Firmware 2.2 I checked to see if QuickPwn will work and if I to the test I get the error message: The firmware installed on your iPhone is not supported by QuickPwn, Please check our web site for further information.
Is this the expected message I should get since I am still on 2.1? Please clarify. Thanks.

I have a 3G version 2.1 which was jailbroken about 2 months ago using Pawnage....my question is, if I update the firmware to version 2.2 and jailbreak again now, will I be able to do a software unlock when one comes available (hopefully in the near future) ?...or should not update to firmware version 2.2 and wait for software unlock?
terry
· 1 year ago
Call me stupid, but i updated a jailbroken 3g from 2.1 to 2.2 with items still in folders created with Categories. Now, itunes thinks they are installed but they don't show up. I did a restore firmware after update with full sync and watched as it reinstalled the missing apps from itunes but they are not there. Did a full power down and back up to no avail. I tried the new quickpwn 2.2 but once it determined the type of phone, it didn't do anything. didn't quit, just didn't do anything i could see. ideas?? if i get it jailbroken again, will Categories see the missing folders and apps? any way to make the apps visible again?

First off thanks for the hard work! Now, has anyone else SSH'd into their phones yet? I just went to /private/var/stash to copy my Themes back, and noticed that everything in the Themes folder now has a double with a different extension. It looks like the old contents of the Themes folder are still there alongside the new versions form this current jailbreak. I'm on a 1st gen iPhone, previously running jailbroken 2.1 with QuikPwn, now updated to 2.2 and re-jailbroken. I've copied the contents of the original folders over to my pc and will delete the old folders. Then I'm going to put the old themes in the new Themes folder.

MuscleNerd

The OS X version of QuickPwn doesn't give you the option to unlock via BootNeuter but the Windows version does.
For OS X users, it's probably easier just to restore to a custom ipsw created via PwnageTool 2.2.1.
If for some reason you don't want to do that, you need to run BootNeuter after running the OS X QuickPwn. Look through my other replies on how to do this, though really it's easier on OS X to just let BootNeuter do it's thing automatically via PwnageTool.

Download and update with itunes then create a custom firmware with quickpwn and then use itunes to restore with quickpwn firmware??? Right?
Could I just download 2.2 with itunes then go directly to quickpwn and select the freshly download firmware and do it that waY?
ta
PoorladRob
· 1 year ago
Totally wrong.
QuickPwn doesn't create custom firmwares. PwnageTool does. In addition, neither PwnageTool nor QuickPwn actually update your phone to a newer firmware; you still need iTunes to do this.
yoda
· 1 year ago
thanks for the info! Still a bit confused here (sorry I am stupido) Once I download and update the firmware my iphone is locked again right? So how does quickpwn work if it does create a custom firmware cause it still wants asks for your firmware and the directory its in right?
nl2008
· 1 year ago
2 solutions: Download only(not update) firmware v2.2...Then use pwnage tool to jailbreak that firmware, it's then put your phone into DFU mode..then you RESTORE that custom firmware with itunes
You can download 2.2 directly from ituens and use quickpwn to jailbreak it. This way will update your baseband and can not be unlocked later on
flowney
· 1 year ago
Where does QuickPwn look for "the firmware bundles" (plural)? On my previously jailbroken 1G iPod touch, QuickPwn thrashes for quite a while and then gives up advising me to buy the firmware bundle (singular) from Apple and try again. This seems inconsistent with the message displayed while searching which is:
If QuickPwn cannot find the correct file, we'll try to download them automatically.(another plural reference)
How many firmware bundles are there, one or more than one? I believe that they are located at:
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
... and that the file QuickPwn is looking for there is named, "iPod1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw"
Am I mistaken about that?

I know you guys have probably answered this question already some where within the 1500+ comment. But it will be quite long for me to look through all so let me please apologize now.
My question is, will you guys ever work on making the soft-unlock possible on the new baseband for the 3G model.
Any answer will be very welcomed as it will determine if i chuck my iPhone in the bin or not.
p.s. i know i was very stupid to update without checking first. No one can hate themselves more than me at this present moment
Thanks and keep up the good work

Need some help here.
Okay so im trying to fix a 3G iphone that has been upgraded to 2.2. Prior to the upgrade it was Jailbroken. The user was using a GEVEY Turbo Sim prior to the upgrade, which i understand you dont reccommend.
I currently use a PC and i think this is my problem, but if someone can confirm - let me know.
I tried to Restore to 2.1 but everytime i try - i get error 1013. I also tried to restore to 2.0 and i get the same error. Im guessing apple was smart and I cant downgrade the Baseband on this phone. Weird thing is that even with the error 1013 - the Firmware says 2.1. I jailbroke it, but now the phone gets no Service using the Unlock Sim. Im assuming there is currently no fix for this - right?
I know on the 2G phones the baseband has no problem since its not upgraded during 2.2 .
Is there anyway to get the 3G baseband back prior to the 2.2 Upgrade? Or is it stuck for now?
MuscleNerd

The main firmware is revertible. The baseband isn't (at least not from 02.28.00 which you're at now).

iPhone 2 G (1st generation) and iphone 2.2 your tip "Update or Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything." does not appear to work. I updated from 1 to 2.2 on iTunes (latest version) on my iMac then used the quickpwn and while all apps work fine, the phone (unlocked several months ago with AnySim) does not work any longer. the carrier shows "no service" and under "settings" - network or general, I do not appear to be able to set my phone carrier..
MuscleNerd

Use Cydia to download BootNeuter and run it as follows:
Turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock", click flash, let it reboot once, run BootNeuter again, turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock" again, click flash. Don't interrupt the flashing process. When the iPhone reboots again, your carrier will be there.
In 2.2, BootNeuter has a bit of a conflict with CommCenter, so it sometimes freezes. If it does, try it again. Alternatively, run it as it was "meant" to be run: as part of a custom ipsw from PwnageTool or as one of the options in the Windows version of QuickPwn.

This may be due to a CommCenter Collision So BootNeuter will exit.

The only thing stopping me from upgrading via PwnageTool to 2.2 - on my SIM locked, QuickPwned, 2.1 iPhone 3G is ... is the scary thought of bricking it! I'm not the most technical person.
Is there anything in 2.2 that is must have ?
I know www.iclarified.com have a tutorial for upgrading & jailbreak of an iPhone 3G using the PwnageTool - which updates the FW but preserves the existing baseband. B
But has anybody actually followed it and can verify that they are no missing steps etc.

Restore again and don't restore from backup yet. Open Cydia and reinstall Five Icon Dock. Then you can right-click your iPhone in iTunes and restore from backup.
The problems seems to be that the springboard backup file can't be understood because it's telling it that there should be 5 icons there but there are only 4 slots.
If that's not the problem, try reinstalling any other apps that you used to have that might have altered the springboard.

Was wondering if anyone was experiencing problems with quickpwn for windows? Never had a problem in the past but the app continues to run "waiting for device ... restore mode" just before your to hold the the "home button for 5 seconds". Been jailbreaking the phone since quickpwn was released and never experienced this in the past. Windows Vista, iTunes 8.02 upgraded to the latest ipsw 2.2, it's that QuickPwn just sit's in this state endlessly until I cancel it and restore with iTunes. BTW: the iPhone screen is showing the USB with iTunes directly over the USB I don't seem to remember this in the past but I maybe mistaken. After 3 attempts, I'll try it tomorrow on the Mac and see how things go.

I am relatively new to the iphone world, I got my 3G in September and pwned in October. I have been following Dev Team developments very closely ever since as I wish to eventually unlock my phone. I use Windows and wish to quickpwn to 2.2 but need a custom ipsw so as to not upgrade the baseband.
My question is does anyone have a reliable source where I can get a custom ipsw so that I can update?
As for the Dev Team, keep the good work

Help! Stuck at the end where the pineapple appears and I'm waiting for my phone to reboot in its "Modified State".
I have 2G Updated to latest Itunes Upgraded to 2.2 QuickPWN'd (Windows)
All went well until this last part where it just hangs. I even helf the home and power button to reset and still nothing. (Every now and then I get two short vibration alerts)
Please help!

Im having the same problem, it kept vibrating and nothing was happening. Were you able to fix it? Did you upgrade through itunes? AHH i dont have a phone ... if you get it working please email me ablelaz17@yahoo.com Thanks

See comment above. I found this link and it allowed me to restore to a backup.
Forced to do a restore. I ended up getting some cartoon caricature on my iphone of Steve Jobs saying npebea which apparently means "Check" in russian. I found out by googling.
Sigh.
Think I'll wait a day or two before trying again.

My T-mobile+turbo sim card is not working after I quickpwn my Iphone3G... it says no sim.. I updated to 2.2 yesterday and then my it was locked... then I quickpwn it today and everything works fine now except there is no calling function... anyone have any ideas?... pls thanks x 1999

Unfortunately, 2.2 will not work with any SIm emulators (TurboSIM, etc.). If you updated to 2.2 without using Pwnage, then your baseband has been updated and your SIM emulators will not work with it. Essentially what you have now is an iPod Touch. READ the FAQ's/instructions posted above.

· 1 year ago
Is that permanent though? Or is it possible another piece of software will come out to remedy it in the future? I'm in the same dilemma :(
echo
· 1 year ago
Unfortunately for now its permanent. The makers of SIM emulators like TurboSIM may come out with a new work-around. This will probably mean that you will need to buy a new SIM emulator, but don't quote me on that. Also, the Dev Team may come out with their own work around but I would imagine this would take some time. Its taken them this long to finally crack the Original 3G baseband (2.0-2.1). However, keep the faith, anything is possible.
Julian
· 1 year ago
OK, thanks for the quick reply dude.
echo
· 1 year ago
As of now, there's nothing you can do about it. A work around may be released by the makers of SIM emulators (TruboSIM, etc.) but I suspect that you will have to buy a new SIM emulator if and when they do. The Dev team MAY come out with their own solution for the new baseband but don't hold your breath. Its taken them this long to crack the 3G baseband (2.0-2.1) so it will probably be a while before they crack the new baseband. However do keep the faith, as you never know what happens next in this cat and mouse game.

please someone answer, i have an iphone3g, 16gb, 2.2 version, so far nothing has been done to the phone as in jailbreak or anything. I had a friend tried to downgrade it but to no avail and i read that though the firmware can be downgraded the baseband cant, so my question is as follow, will my phone work with a Turbosimcard? my friend tried but it keeps saying No Service and doesnt recognize the carrier, as i said it has never been jailbroken or unlocked or nothing, i just wanted to use it with a Turbo Sim card because i'm not in the US and can't use ATT.

Hi, i have factory unlocked iphone 3g( i mean i directly put my chip in and get service... There is no need for any xtra attachment.. I was told its never locked... So i assume it has no operator specific lock on the baseband ) My question is can i upgrade my phone to 2.2 from 2.0 without getting it locked or bricked. If yes pls tell me the simplest way possible( with or without baseband update)... Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated...

Make sure it is indeed factory (Apple) unlocked. If it is for sure a factory (Apple) unlocked iPhone 3G then you can update with no problems. Just update through iTunes.

post, i guess i have a factory (Apple) unlocked iphone 3g( i mean i directly put a sim without using any sim adapter and i get service.) can anybody tell me how to be 100% sure whether my phone is factory ( APPLE) unlocked.
Also if i try updating with the custom 2.2 firmware, will this lock my iphone( iphone 3g, 2.0 ), if NO pls send me the link to download custom 2.2 firmware.
And if i have a factory unlocked iphone 3g, i can directly use itunes to upgrade to 2.2 without locking my phone.
if anybody can spare few valuable minutes, i'd really appreciate

NO, if you use Qucikpwn, it means you have updated your baseband to the new 2.2 version. SIM emulators will not work with this new baseband and there is no way to downgrade at this point in time. The only way to upgrade without touching your baseband is with Pwnage. You essentially have an iPod Touch now. READ the FAQ's/Instructions posted above.

Hi, Since the last time I posted my question I have not received any answers, so I decided to Quickpwn my ipod touch instead of my iphone to see what happened, and its a total disaster, because I followed the process, and I have being waiting for the ipod touch to restart for about 40 minutes, and the only thing I can see is a pineapple that flashes from time to time, and nothing happens, and I can not restore it because itunes does not recognizes it. What is the problem what can i do. Please help

UPDATE:
I originally did the upgrade without baudband and now decided to go ahead with new baudband. IT IS CONFIRMED at least between me and 5 other friends that the NEW BAUDBAND IMPROVES INTERNET AND CALL QUALITY DRAMATICALLY, so the question is if you want that or not. :(
Avoiding upgrading the baudband is only for anyone that is not on AT&T anyway though, so those people are very few in number.

Really?! WOW. I didn't know that, omfg. FIRST, you will never be able to accomplish a soft unlock in the future anyway, so it doesn't really matter. AGAIN, those who buy a phone from now on are most likely gonna have 2.2 firmware installed from factory anyway, so unless you got your phone already, the portion of persons that will have this option are, heres that word again FEW in number.
Always remember that APPLE will pwn you in the end. TRY AGAIN, because thats all you can do.

Use Quickpwn if you are on windows. BTW, it clearly states what you need to do in the above instructions...

Old iPhone 2G: I updated from 2.0 to 2.2 (5G77) via iTunes, but then the Sim Lock was removed. No Cyntia, but no Simlock either. Did Apple remove the registrations? I didn't use QuickPwn. Phone works fine (in Germany).

Wenn Du nur ein update gemacht hast, ist das normal, es ist nur das jailbreak entfernt, telefonieren kanst Du, weil dieser Vorgang nicht das unlock berührt. Für cydia etc musst Du ein neues Jailbreak machen... siehe macbug.de oder sendowski.de fuer Anleitung
because of the update the jailbreak is lost and has to be done again (quickpwn) while the unlock remains

during this update only the jailbreak is removed (with all the cydia apps and cydia itself) the unlock stays ... you simply have to do quickpwn again

After I've upgraded to 2.2 (iPhone 2G), I got Grey WiFi. Unfortunatelly I cannot run BootNeuter (+swifi fix), since it crashes when I start it.
Is there going to be BootNeuter for iPhone 2.2?

We can port the swifi family of fixes to 2.x if there's a demand for it. Really the only difference between 1.x and 2.x swifi suite is the need to do so without CommCenter running.

I upgraded to 2.2 all went well. When I went in to Cydia it kept crashing. Deleted the Custom Pwn built another one and tried again. Still crashes.
Also what gives with the Apt Back-up program. That does not work. I found out the hard way. ( I know, wrong website to ask this question)
Borsty use ALT and the restore key once the phone is in recovery mood from a Mac. That should do the trick

Alright, for those of you looking for clarification:
I have the iPhone 2G with firmware version 2.0.2.
I was able to just plug it in, click update, and let iTunes install the 2.2 firmware. After that, just run QuickPwn and let it run. Easy as hell due to awesome work by the dev team!
On a side note, I use Categories from Cydia to put apps in folders, and the Poof! option in BossPrefs quite frequently. I had put the Settings app, Bossprefs and the Categories launcher all in folders that ceased to exist after QuickPwn. I could not launch any of these apps! I had to find and download 5 or 6 different app launchers before I could get to any of these programs, which was tiresome and frustrating. If you use Categories or Poof, its a good idea to unhide all of your icons and remove at least the system critical apps from folders before doing ANY of the updating/pwning.
On another side note, I'm an AptBackup user - a must have for anybody tinkering with updates. Make a backup with it on the phone before updating, and after Pwning, re-download it with Cydia and run the restore. It not only found every Cydia app I had, but it even checked the right items in Winterboard along with downloading and installing every app! Don't leave home without it, folks!

Hi DevTeam -
I updated my unlocked (T-mobile) first-gen iPhone to 2.2 using the latest iTunes (8.0.2.20), then ran QuickPwn to jailbreak.
As usual, everything worked as expected (no problems whatsoever)! Thanks for all the hard work!!!

like many people around here i have stupidly updated my 3G as soon as the update came out and got the unwelcomed baseband update. I do understand that currently there is no way to revert from the 2.2 baseband
All i want to know is, is it being worked on? Should I expect a Baseband downgrade option for the 2.2 anytime soon?
or should i just settle for the ipod touch that my 3G has been converted to and just go out and by a new cell..
Thanks

Hi guys,
what if I buy a new iPhone 3G now and it has already 2.2 installed?
Is there any chance that this 2.2 iPhone will be unlockable in a near future like the older 3G seems to be or does the baseband update lead to an "unlocable forever" status?
thanks Lion

It's not likely that if you buy a new iPhone today it comes with FW 2.2. All the stores have stocks and first they need to sell them all. But all the orders going into Apple will, most sure, be answered with iPhones FW 2.2.

I'm downgrading Back to Version 2.1 again because with Version 2.2 i've got to much problems with E-Mails and some other things. As soon that i receive new E-Mails the Mail.app is crashing. Sometimes it works but mostly not. I had to reinstall my iPhone 2 times in 1 Day because no restart or anything else works anymore. So my conclusion is that there are too much (maybe new) Bugs in Firmware 2.2. I rather can work and have Fun with my iPhone than beeing up to Date. Sorry.

Not a problem I have with 2.2. Try restoring, it's certainly not a common problem you are having. Most people say 2.2 iss more stable in Safari and no other problems.

HI guys,
i have a firmware of 02.11.07 which i assume i got from the 2.1 software upgrade. Does this preclude me from any potential soft-unlock? If it does, i shall just go ahead and install the official 2.2 upgrade. If not i am going to play it safe and wait for the (fingers crossed) soft-unlock to be released.

All the BB, until the 02.11.07 can possible be soft-unlocked in the near future. The new BB that comes with FW 2.2 cannot.

NOTICE: For those of you experiencing a crashing Mail app after the 2.2 upgrade - disable IntelliScreen's Taskbar Icons under the IntelliAlerts section of the IS app, until the IntelliScreen devs release an upgrade.. This resolves the Mail app crashing. See http://www.modmyi.com/forums/native-iphone-ipod... for more info.

hi, I´m owning a custom 2.2 firmware for the iPhone 3G. Now my question is: do I have to either update or restore my iPhone with this firmware (by Shift+left click)???
Can I restore my 2.1-backup with the new firmware (options, savegames, wifi-hotspots etc.)?

First I would like to thank the dev team for getting this up so quickly. I just want to know a little more about the increasing the root partition size. If I increase it to 1 gb, will that help larger apps from running out of memory and crashing? Also, does quickpwn increase the partition size or is it only possible in pwnage tool? Thanks

For those out there that can make Cydia to run after Pwnage, like me, I found in another site telling me that doing a Quickpwn after will fix it, and it did. Here is what happened to me. First I upgraded with Itunes, then Pwnage as instructions said to normaly do, and the obvious restore. One problem I have everytime is that if I do not put back the AT&T oiriginally sim it will not activate, so I did that. Once the phone was up Cydia wasn't working. I went crazy looking for fixes and found a lot of people on the same boat, mind I have a 2G iphone that I was updating and pwnage since 1.1.4. So I did the Quickpwn after hours of going crazy and voila!!! Cydia works. Be patient, Quickpwn is very slow looking for the Restore file and actually mine didn't find it and downloaded automatically. Advice? have this incredible AptBackup program, it will put back your Apps, not the Apple but the other ones. I also have AppBackup (one letter different) that claim to backup the appstore apps, but this one does not store them in Itunes so, I lost all the info on those apps that I got from Appulous, sad. But for the rest...all great. Thanks Dev Team, thanks Saurik for being such a genius.

Just thought I would add for those people who dare to risk the sim-proxy route whilst waiting. Used pwnage tool on mac to create custom firmware then used itunes to restore the custom firmware (without the baseband upgrade). After restore my sim-proxy still provides me with perfect working results. Just as a side note I do understand the Dev Teams views as there are many people out their with bricked Iphones and knackered trays etc, I was one of the lucky ones, if you do your research and check out every blog you can find the right place to buy. Still look forward to a soft unlock so I can get rid of the chip, keep up the good work lads!

Now i cant do anything, cant switch it on, cant put it in another mode, cant Quickpwn/PwnageTool it, so im pretty much f*****ed or what?

I was restart the network settings... the network was recognized for a seconds... in that seconds i start bootneuter.. it wasnt crashed and i turn 4.6 bootloader and FLASH... was restarted and now i havent signal again.. i like to enter on bootloader but it probably will crash...
i will restart the network settings after signal work and then enter on bootloader..
is ok?

If BootNeuter successfully reads the current status and the "Unlocked" switch is "On", then that's all that matters. The bootloader version won't matter, so I wouldn't go and reflash needlessly.

Since you're not on a 3G, it's probably worth just doing it all over from the beginning. Do a full "restore" to real Apple 2.2 first, then run QuickPwn again.

We won't be looking for ways to get turbosim working again (those proxy sim companies are big enough to look on their own).
Although if we eventually find a way to revert down from 02.28.00, that would also happen to be useful for turbosim users.

In his point of view my case as updated by itunes that the original firmware upgrade the baseband have chances that in future I can unlock via software and if the Devtara ready or have any application in order to make a downgrade baseband or to be able to take to latch on AT & T?

Guys, I'd really appreciate it if you answered. :)
Is 2.2 the only non-unlockable firmware? 2.1 is fine? (Plus will you release the unlock in the same way as for the first iPhone via QuickPwn because that was really easy for me to do plus I don't have a Mac so can't use PwnageTool.) And is 2.2 impossible to unlock or would it just take you guys a few days longer to do it (after you finish the 2.0/2.1 unlocks.) Asking because might be getting a 3G soon and it might come with 2.2 preloaded
Do you guys think you'll have the unlock finished by Christmas?
Thanks :)
Keep up the GREAT work. I can't tell you how glad I am that you guys do this. You're really unbelievable.
MuscleNerd

Jimmy

Well, makes sense, but even the 2.1 unlock? You guys don't know if that'll work? Damn I better hope the iPhone comes with 2.1 at the max...
I know this may seem a bit annoying, but any estimate at all as to when the unlock's coming? Really need to know cause it's the deciding factor in buying the 3G or not... Rough estimate would even do... ;) (though I understand if you say it might cause people to start nagging in case you don't meet that date as if it's a deadline, so can you at least confirm that an unlock is coming sooner or later? ) Preferrably sooner ;)
Okay I'm just nagging now so I'll stop. Thanks again.

QUESTION FOR DEV TEAM MEMBERS (please forgive the caps and possibly answer): Those of us with previously pwned 1st gen iPhones have both the option of upgrading to 2.2 and then QuickPwn or made a new custom 2.2 fw with Pwnage Tool and then restore. In my previously pwned firmwares, I have always opted for a custom firmware because I like to preload it with all sorts of Cydia apps. However, I wonder if there is any theoretical reason for having a faster machine (all the other things being equal) if you update and then QuickPwn. If there is no reason for thinking that a custom firmware may be somewhat slower than a QuickPwned one, I'd rather go for the custom firmware. Thanks for any answer you can give me on this

These two will behave exactly the same: - iPhone via PwnageTool with Cydia apps preloaded - iPhone via QuickPwn and those same Cydia apps loaded manually later

"Locked iPhone 3G
If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer." Just to be absolutely sure. The statement above is for A 3G phone that has already been jailbroke 2.1. Right??
I am with AT&T and have a 3G iPhone. I jailbroke it a coupke months ago with 2.1. So, If I want to update to 2.2 all I have to do is go ahead and update through Itunes to 2.2 and then use the new 2.2 quickpwn to jailbreak? Will I loose all the apps I have installed when I update. Is there anything else I need to do first like restore or delete any of the apps I have now. I saw something in the post about taking ALL apps out of folders before updating, which I have already done even deleting the Categories App altogether just to be safe. Is there anything else like this I shuld do before I start? Sorry to ask something that seems to have an obvious answer but I'm not real techy and I can't afford to turn this thing into a paperwight. Thanks.

Hi All. I have a 2G iphone which has been rendered useless by itunes upgrading it to 2.2 I know there was plenty of warning about it but I read then after i tunes updated the the device. Is there any way to roll it back using a windows PC and then updating using the pawnage tool. I managed to upgrade a different device last week using 2.1 which is working fine but 2.2 ruined everything!
Please help!
echo
· 1 year ago
If your iPhone is a 2G iPhone, then updating to 2.2 should not have screwed it up. The update DOES NOT touch/alter the baseband for 2G iPhones. When you say your iPhone has been "rendered useless" what exactly do you mean? Phone part not working, iPod not working, wifi not working, GPS not working, everything not working, etc.
What you can try is to restore your 2G iPhone to the 2.2 FW using iTunes, and then QuickPwn/Pwnage it again after.

I understand that the Pwnage tool creates a custom ipsw file which can be restored - I have done thi successfully in the past. My query relates to Quickpwn as I have never used this before,. If I take a Pwnd/jailbroken 2.1 iPhone 2G without any apps (app store or Cydia) and use iTunes to update to 2.2 I end up with unlocked, activated blank 2.2 iPhone 2G but it is no longer jailbroken. I then install lots of app store apps and use it like this for a few days, syncing and backing up etc via iTunes. If I then decide I want to jailbreak the iPhone using QuickPwn what state will the iPhone be left in once Quickpwn has been run?? Will it be as it was before the Quickpwng but jailbroken or will it be a blank 2.2 jailbroken iPhone? My question basically is, therefore, to achieve a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone 2G that is already 2.2 but without losing information or apps, can i use Quickpwn or not?? Thanks so much for the tools and keep up the good work

One more question for Dev Team members: What if I want to change the boot and recovery logo after having already executed either QuickPwn or Pwnage tool? There should be a way of doing that, correct? After all, the machine is jailbroken and with root privileges I should be able to simply swap files. Where are located the boot and recovery logo? Thanks P.S. BTW, the quickPwn question on those files is a bit misleading. QuickPwn asks whether you want to 'keep the files that are on your iPhone.' However, if you say yes QuickPwn installs official Apple logos. But if you had already pwned your phone and are happy with your logos, your answer may be yes because you intend to keep your own logos, not the official ones.

any chance of getting such a tool? or, for now, Windows users like myself are stuck?

Why is the option to "enable baseband update" grayed out and can't be selected in pwnagetool? Does this mean you have to use quickpwn if you want to update the baseband? I want to customize my ipsw and I want to update the baseband. Is that possible yet?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
That combination isn't supported by PwnageTool, which forcibly prevents baseband updates for 3G. But if you're already at 2.2's baseband by virtue of Apple's official ipsw, then it makes no difference. Just use your custom ipsw after the Apple one.

hey guys...help....I used the Pwnagetool for 2.2 and followed instructions but now it seems I cannot see the AT&T network...I have always been AT&T. I Qwkpwn and that did not help either. I am not getting an activation screen on Itunes so that is not the problem. What should I do to just activate the device?

Does anyone really know what fixes/benefits the baseband upgrade really offers?
I have a 3G 2.1 jailbroken iphone. I'm still stuck in my contract for about a year and a half, so I'm in no hurry to software unlock the service provided. That said, I like to keep my options open. If I decide to upgrade to 2.2 MINUS the baseband, does anyone know what I'm really losing? I heard on person anecdotally mentioned the baseband upgrade did improve dropped call problems. However, I feel like it's too early to really know that... anyone know the official changelog of the baseband update?

major doh. Can someone clueful confirm that, although I thought I followed all the latest instructions, if I restored to a Custom 2.2 that somehow got the new baseband, I am now stuck with that baseband and can do nothing to activate my iPhone 3G, with or without jailbreak?

using iPhone 3g locked to ATT non-contract on pwned 2.1 OS and Yessim. Using MacBook earlier 2008 version, iTunes 8.01.
Jailbreak a success!!
Pwned the current iPhone 3g ipsw to create the custom firmware (activate ticked in pwnage tool). iTunes would NOT allow me to update and instead the iPhone went into 'Steve Jobs' recovery mode.
After retry, the restore of the iPhone began to load the new custom firmware and precariously, the Apple logo started to run. After nail biting +++, the Apple logo progress bar got only half way and the iPhone rebooted into a fully working OS 2.2 running Yessim.
Reloading the Backup on the Mac restored all of my Appstore data, music, pics etc and importantly the settings!
3rd party apps I had to laboriously reload as AppBac (cydia) did not restore any of the previous setting suggesting that iTunes may not be backing this up as it is supposed to do.
However, after this little blip, I have an OS2.2 fully working with AppSore apps and 3rd party Apps. Mobile installation patch 2.2 works a dream.....catch my drift :-)
Catch u later Bro's and Sis's
Dev Team Rock!!!
Please get the Soft 3G unlock sorted ASAP so I can bin Yessim !

I have a factory unlocked 3G. I have a custom (pwnage) ipsw firmware on the phone currently.
I understand the baseband is not an issue and that I can simply use quickpwn, but I only have a mac, so I just use pwnage and create a custom ipsw again, with installer and cydia (if that's what I want, which it is) and hey presto?
I have all my AppStore apps backed up in iTunes, but will this update loose me all my cydia and installer apps etc?
I've read a heap of the posts so far but can't find a clear answer on my question - sorry if I've missed it and am wasting anyone's time.
Thanks in advance and thanks for all the efforts DevTeam!

i had that issue with 2.1 and 2.0 before, not sure why it happens, but i tried two things and it worked for me. first go to settings, then switch airplane mode on for 1 minute then off and let it find the service provider, if that doesn't work then go to carrier and let it search, then select the one you want. That should fix the problem. also you might want to go to General, then Settings, then Network, then Cellular Data Network and make sure APN is in there correctly.

I'm currently running a 2.1 2G iPhone on the Tmobile network. From some of the comments I read and on the post, am I safe to assume that I should use iTunes to upgrade to 2.2, and then run QuickPwn?

Is there any tool that allows quick installation of all the apps I have on the phone? The biggest nightmare about iPhone version updates isn't waiting a few days until you guys bring out another jailbreak, but the day or two I spend until the phone is roughly configured as it was before.
We need some tool that allows us to save all the Cydia and Installer state, and restore that after the upgrade. I'm aware of one app that tries to do that for Cydia, but according to some, that state isn't backed up by Apple, and is thus missing after the restore (I guess I could save that manually with sftp). Still, for Installer, an equivalent solution is missing... Or am I missing something?

if your iphone does this the fix is plug your usb cable into your pc with itunes on...hold the home buttone down on your phone down for about 15 seconds or so then plug your iphone into the cable while still holding the home button for about five seconds or more ( I wait until the itunes will not let me click on it so I know it is loading up the phone) then the iphone resets and turns back on. It works for me! Should work for you!

Hi, I need help. I have an iPhone bought January 2008 in the US, I unlocked it with ZiPhone, and it has been working great. However, many of the programs I use say that they won't work anymore unless I upgrade to 2.x software. I came to this website and downloaded QuickPwn, and I'm about to update the sfotware in iTunes and then use QuickPwn... but I also just read some of the users who couldn'g get the iPhone to work after doing this. Is there something I have to consider before doing this? I'm in Italy, TIM sim card, my current version is 1.1.4, and the model firmware is 04.04.05_G Please help!!!

You're on an iPhone 2G which means you're absolutely fine. If you're on Windows, update to firmware 2.2 using iTunes and then run QuickPwn to unlock and jailbreak your device. If you have any problems, google 'DFU Restore' and do that with your phone to mitigate any ZiPhone crap.

So, if I upgrade to the latest software in iTunes (I guess it is 2.2) and then use QuickPwn will it go ok? From what I read before, it seemed to me that if I upgrade to 2.2 I won't be able to unlock my phone or jailbreak it... Thank you for your help.

Roman,
Is your iPhone a 2G (Original/First Generation) iPhone? If it is the 2G iPhone (judging from your comments about unlocking it with ZiPhone, I figure its a 2G iPhone), then you can update to 2.2 using iTunes and then unlock and jailbreak using QuickPwn or if you are on a Mac, Pwnage. If it is a 3G, then don't upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes.
karups
· 1 year ago
Yes! Upgrade to 2.2 from 2.1(Pwned!) using iTunes. Launch QuickPwn.exe (from Windows) and follow the steps. Done!

Hi everyone I just activated my Vodafone SIM, and threw it in my 2G iPhone which is unlocked and jailbroken, and it works fine.
I put it in my iPhone 3G which is locked to Voda (confirmed by Vodafone representative) and it doesn't work.. The iphone 3G was updated to 2.2 firmware and jailbroken two days ago.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to activate it with iTunes or something?.. When I connect it to iTunes nothing comes up, and when I click 'check for updates' nothing comes up..
Is it because I jailbroke it before activating SIM?..
Thanks Jonno

Hey there,
I want to upgrade my 1.1.3 2G iPhone, but this version of QuickPwn (2.2) says it can only jailbreak versions >= 2.0. How can I upgrade to 2.0 if QuickPwn won't let me do it? =(
Thanks.

Since you're on a 2G, you should do an official Apple restore to their real 2.2, then run QuickPwn after.
Are you on Mac or Windows?

Thanks! I have one huge problem tho.. I updated with itunes, and when I run quickpwn it tells me something like: "this version of quickpwn can only jailbreak devices with versions >=2.0"
I am on FW 2.2, Windows Vista 64-bit... What could possibly be wrong? Any way to make it understand that I actually got greater than 2.0?

Here is how i fixed it: I logged on the computer as a domain admin, and everything worked like a charm.
The problem was that quickpwn and the iphone was on different users since quickpwn needs admin access when logged on a normal user.

How did you upgrade to FW 2.2? If you did it by iTunes using the official 2.2 FW from Apple than you will not be able to get signal by the use of a turbo chip. One of the things the new Baseband, that comes along with the official Apple FW 2.2, is that it stops the ability to use those chips in order to get carrier signal.
So by the time being, with that kind of chip, sorry to say this, but you're stuck.

Hi Guys I have a late '08 MacBook and an iPhone 2G pwned. Q1 Can I simply update to FW 2.2 via iTunes and run QuickPwn after? Q2 Is it possible to create a custom FW 2.2 using the PwnageTool on an other Mac and keep my former data? After updating the FW when it comes to restore my settings and data I would unplug the iPhone and connect it with my new MacBook (which contains my actual backups). Thank you for your help, DevTeam or other people who have the same hardware (I just want to make sure everything works out the first time), Yves
echo

Q1: Yes you can just update your 2G iPhone through iTunes and then run QuickPwn after. Q2: Make sure you sync your iPhone before you do anything. Use another Mac to build custom FW. Bring that custom FW to your new MB. Restore you 2G iPhone using the custom FW on your new MB (that you had synced your iPhone with earlier). When asked by iTunes, select restore iPhone from whatever your iPhone profile was called INSTEAD of "Setting up as new iPhone". All your settings and data should be left intact (except for non-AppStore 3rd party apps).

So here comes a little feedback: - As I have an iPhone 2G and was on a Pwned+Jailbroken 2.1, I updated using iTunes to 2.2, the official 2.2. The update went fine and the restore of the settings was a snap. I thought: "hey, the update went fine". So I was happy with the Official 2.2, at least I was until I got a call, which I couldn't answer (slide 2 answer didn't work)... So my guess is, if we come from a pwned OS and put the official over it, it doesn't delete what you had there, leaving a lot of mess behind... I used then PwnageTool to reinstall everything from scratch and here I am, with a jailbroken+unlock iPhone 2G 2.2 :)
Thanks for your hard work!

I tried using Quickpwn and PwnageTool on my new Unibody MBP to upgrade my iPhone 2G but I keep getting error 21 and when I restore using the unaltered firmware, I end up with an unactivated iPhone. I used the same files and and created a new custom firmware on an older Powerbook and worked flawlessly. Just thought I'd report this. My iPhone was on Pwned 2.1 before I upgraded. Must be something different on the unibody Macs.

Also if i try updating with the custom 2.2 firmware, will this lock my iphone( iphone 3g, 2.0 ), if NO pls send me the link to download custom 2.2 firmware.
And if i have a factory unlocked iphone 3g, i can directly use itunes to upgrade to 2.2 without locking my phone.
if anybody can spare few valuable minutes, i'd really appreciate
echo
· 1 year ago
What country did you buy your iPhone from? Only certain countries sold the iPhone factory unlocked. Also the price you paid for it might be an indication as to whether is factory unlocked. Try different SIM's from different carrier's to see if it all works. If it does and you aren't using any SIM emulators/adapters then its factory unlocked.
You can also go to Settings>General>About, and under "Carrier" it should say "Carrier 2.x" (mine says Carrier 2.9 and I'm on FW2.2). If its locked it will say the Carrier's name (AT&T, Vodafone, etc.). I haven't fully verified this yet so if anyone knows otherwise, please add to this.
If its factory unlocked, then yes you can update through iTunes.

i bought my iphone 3g in dubai, i have used it in dubai on etisalat and now i'm using it in India on Airtel and i do not use any sim emulator or adapter.
iphone is not officially launched in dubai, so while buying it i had 2 options one was with sim adapter and was slightly cheaper and the one i bought was without any such adapter and they told me it was NEVER Locked, i got it for dhs 3300 ( USD 899 approx )
and as far as my iphone goes it works on almost all the chips i tried.....dubai, bahrain, india ( i have tried my phone in these 3 countries and it worked perfectly )
Now i checked under Settings>General>About, and under "Carrier" ( NETWORK ) it currently shows airtel and when i put etisalat it shows etisalat. so i don't really think this is the authentic way to check whether it is factory unlocked. wat say...
Also now i have downloaded a custom 2.2 firmware without baseband update.....and right now i'm on 2.0...will 2.2 version work with 1.45 baseband.
i'm being so specific coz i don't want to turn my 900 dollar iphone into a mere music player :-0 hope u wuld understand...

No-one can confirm the authenticity of that custom FW. The best thing is to make your own FW via Pwnage tool, following the steps described by dev team in the beginning of this post, in a friends MAC computer.

echo
· 1 year ago
I'm no Dev Team but I'll take a stab at it...
Its because it has nothing to do with the FW but the baseband of your iPhone and how it was programmed. We are all getting the same FW when we download and update through iTunes. Yet the factory unlocked iPhones remain unlocked and the non-factory unlocked iPhones get "re-locked".
My sister lives in Australia is getting an iPhone through Vodafone and for a small fee (AUD75), they will send her unlock codes over the internet to unlock her 3G iPhone. This will probably only work with iPhones locked to Vodafone in Oz and not all locked iPhones. Again, this is just a guess.
Jimmy
· 1 year ago
iTunes can detect what iPhone you're using (or else it wouldn't be able to download different firmwares for the 2G and 3G iPhones)... maybe it downloads a special firmware when it detects a factory unlocked one? Plus isn't the baseband part of the firmware anyway? It got updated with the 2.2 one...
But if it isn't as easy as just restoring to the firmware, does that mean that the unlocked ones are hardware-based unlocks?
Damn I wish I was in Australia right now (or had someone I know there)... cheap unlocked iPhone 3G, contract cancellation after one month, then import to here. Unlocked and would still be pretty cheap...
echo
· 1 year ago
I don't think its got anything to do with iTunes detecting its a factory unlocked and downloading a special firmware. In fact, when I upgraded my factory unlocked 3G to 2.2, I actually downloaded the 2.2 FW separately and then in iTunes used the alt+update to manually locate the 2.2 FW file. I don't think the baseband is part of the firmware. It just gets flashed an update when you update to the 2.2FW. If it was part of the FW, then you wouldn't be able to update the FW to 2.2 while leaving the baseband untouched (like Pwnage does).
As for the unlock being hardware, I also don't think that's the case. My sister's iPhone will just require a unlock code (provided by Vodafone Australia) to be entered for it to be unlocked. Doesn't sound like a hardware unlock to me.
As for contract cancellation in Oz (or any where for that matter), you would have to pay for the remaining time left on your contract. So not much cheaper.

Hello. The only thing you downloaded from this page is the torrent file that enables you to download the actual program. For that you need a bittorrent program like utorrent or a similar one. So do like this: 1 - Search and install a bittoreent program like utorrent (free of charge). 2 - Download the file from this page and utorrent (or similar) will automatically open and start the download 3 - Unzip the program from the zip file and run it.

Its a bit torrent file, not the actual executable. Either download it from some other site or install some kind of bit torrent utility.

I have a request for the dev team. Could you make quickpwn a little more customizable. I love the ease of use of quickpwn but I really would like some of the advanced options that pwnage tool provides. Like for example I've only had bad experiences with installer and I don't like having it in my phone. Cydia on the other hand is great. I only want cydia but I don't want to go through all the hassle that is pwnage tool.
Hey I know, why don't you guys just combine the apps together into one clean package. So depending on what the user wants out of it, he'll be set.

I've upgraded my 3G iPhone to 2.2 using PwnageTool. It took a while to get Cydia working, but I finally managed to do so. The trick is to install only Cydia & Installer in PwnageTool... add the other packages afterwards.
But now I have another problem... an issue with the Phone application... when I launch it, it starts up but there are no titles under the icons (ie. Contacts, Recent, Favorites & Voicemail), after about 1 second it crashes & goes back to the home screen. I'm not able to dial any number, check recent calls or voicemail.
I can receive calls though, but when I'm on a call I no longer see the 'current call' screen (W/ photo, phone number, hold, time of call, etc). It stays on the home screen with the green 'Touch to return to call' bar at the top. But when I click that green bar nothing happens, making it impossible to end a call.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

A question regarding maintaining the old baseband while upgrading the system software. Doesn't this combination allow Apple to easily/automatically detect whether the phone has been jailbroken and allow them to block the phone for updates etc...
Is the baseband easily upgradable after the 2.2 software has been installed? thanks!

Yes. Just make a restore of the iPhone with the original FW from Apple.

Last time I updated my iphone 3g to 2.1 I had problems with itunes 8.0 updating the phone with custom firmware. I ended up using quickpwn and that worked perfectly. I was wondering if I need to do anything to itunes to make it accept the custom firmware in order to upgrade to 2.2. I assume to upgrade with all my current data intact I must update by creating custom firmware with pwnage tool then DFU restore the custom firmware and then restore from a backup of all my data. Is this correct?

i bought my iphone 3g in dubai, i have used it in dubai on etisalat and now i'm using it in India on Airtel and i do not use any sim emulator or adapter.
iphone is not officially launched in dubai, so while buying it i had 2 options one was with sim adapter and was slightly cheaper and the one i bought was without any such adapter and they told me it was NEVER Locked, i got it for dhs 3300 ( USD 899 approx )
and as far as my iphone goes it works on almost all the chips i tried.....dubai, bahrain, india ( i have tried my phone in these 3 countries and it worked perfectly )
Now i checked under Settings>General>About, and under "Carrier" ( NETWORK ) it currently shows airtel and when i put etisalat it shows etisalat. so i don't really think this is the authentic way to check whether it is factory unlocked. wat say...
Also now i have downloaded a custom 2.2 firmware without baseband update.....and right now i'm on 2.0...will 2.2 version work with 1.45 baseband. i download the custom 2.2 firmware from http://www.ilikemyiphone.com/?p=539 pls confirm authenticity.... also it says that the iphone should be on 2.1 version and pwned and mine is on 2.0 and is pwned. will this custom firmware work on my iphone 3g 2.0
i'm being so specific coz i don't want to turn my 900 dollar iphone into a mere music player :-0 hope u wuld understand...
thanx in advance for ur time echo....

Sounds like you have a factory unlocked 3G. If all your different SIM's are working with the iPhone and you are not using any SIM emulators/adaptors/etc. However, in your post you said "it works on almost all the chips", were there ones that didn't work?
As for downloading custom FW, I find that a little dodgy and would be cautious to install anything like that on my iPhone. Use a friend's Mac to build your own custom FW with Pwnage if you only have a PC.

Hello,
I am in the same position but I already upgraded to 2.2 via iTunes 8.0.2. I bought my 3G in Dubai too but now the Phone is Locked. In fact, when you upgrade via iTunes, it shows the message "Simcard installed cannot activate (sorry my itunes version is in French so I translate) the iPhone etc..." and the 3G is on Emergency call. When you quickpwn it, the iPhone become unlocked but you see a "No Service" message (you have a beautiful Ipod Touch !). I re-upgraded and re-QuickPwn 5 times with the same result. The bosses from "www.frenchiphone.com" cannot explain this fact. They told me that is unusual. I don't know what to do.
echo

When you bought your iphone what version did it have on it (2.0, 2.0.1, 2,1)? Do you have to use any SIM-emulators with your iPhone (TurboSIM, StealthSIM, RebelSIM, etc.) or was it working with just a SIM? If it was factory unlocked then it would work with just inserting any SIM and you should not be having any trouble after updating to 2.2.
Sounds like you may have an iPhone that is not factory unlocked and by upgrading to 2.2 you have locked your iPhone.

It seems you know about the subject. I have a doubt. Is it possible to unlock an iPhone 3G that is bought with the 2.2 firmware bundled?!!
Anyways, is it possbile to unlock an iPhone 3G that was bought on 2.2 already or that was simply updated to 2.2?!!
echo
· 1 year ago
It is NOT possible to software unlock 3G iPhones at present. You can only jailbreak it at this time but the Dev Team is close to a software unlock for 3G.
There was another way people were getting around the SIM lock on 3G iPhones. The were using SIM emulators/proxy/adapters (such as TurboSIM, RebelSIM, etc.) but this method is buggy at best. Now with the 2.2 FW update, the baseband is updated and as a result these SIM proxies/emulators do not work on 2.2.
So, the only way at this point in time to have an unlocked 3G iPhone running 2.2 is to buy a factory unlocked one. This situation may change very soon.
mentalgeller

Thank you for the answer,
No there is no Sim-emulator. My carrier Sim is inserted as is. I tried few other Sim that worked before upgrading. Note that I upgraded from 2.1 and before from 2.0.2. Note also that in 2.1 when I put the phone in Airplane mode, I could not recover the signal when put it in Airplane off again.

So you are not sure whether your iPhone is factory unlocked or not? How did you do the upgrades? Was it through iTunes?
Did you jailbreak your 3G? If you did, did you make sure the "activate" was unchecked? Did you try resetting your network settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings)?

I know my iphone is factory unlocked because I put a foreign Simcard in it and it worked. As far as I know, the unlock is not yet possible so by deduction...
echo

Yes, you are right. By deduction your iPhone is factory unlocked. However you should not be having these network issues if its factory unlocked.
If you are confident that it is a factory (Apple) unlocked iPhone, then try doing a restore to 2.2. Don't jailbreak, and see if these network issues still persist.
I have a factory unlocked 3G and when I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 it went off without a glitch. No network/connection issues whatsoever. I just did the update through iTunes. Good luck.

How are you intending on upgrading to 2.2 while keeping the old baseband? The only way to do that is to build your custom FW using Pwnage or download a custom FW and update it through iTunes using alt+update and choosing the custom FW.

i have downloaded a custom firmware...but it says to quickpwn the device at 2.1 and then restore to 2.2....but i have 2.0 already pwned but not 2.1....if i use this custom firmware will it upgrade my phone.... I downloaded this firmware from http://www.ilikemyiphone.com/?p=539
i think it shud work as the problem is only with baseband update and here we r not updating the baseband. but if 2.1 has a differet baseband then 2.0 which i think it is, then it might get stuck....
pls assist whether i shuld go ahead or wait for somebody to upload custom firmware that can upgrade 2.0 to 2.2 directly.

Help Please! I restored my 2G iPhone with 2.2 iTunes firmware. Then I used QckPwn for Mac to unblock it. It all went ok, then I connected it to iTunes again and ask it to set up as a new phone and sync with my music and contacts, which it did but I don't have a signal from my carrier!!! What do I do? During the process I never took the SIM out! Please help me! I can't afford to be iphone-less!!

Sorry I am a little confused here with the variety of comments and warnings...
I have an iPhone 3G with O2 UK and have no wish to use any other carrier now or at any time in the future, I use Windows XP and have already jailbroke with 2.1 and just simply like to download unoffical apps using Installer and Cydia etc.
Now are we saying that I can or cannot upgrade to 2.2, given I only have windows, and currently have a jailbroke 2.1 installed?
And if I can how should I do it, should I use iTunes then QuickPwn2.2?
I do appologise if this post annoys some of you but I am very concerned by some of the comments here that say 'If you have an iPhone 3G and upgrade to 2.2 its all over and you may as well bin your phone' do I assume this only applies to people who wish to use a non standard carrier.
Also am I right in sayin that i will have to re-download and install all my unofficial apps? I have seen some utilites that claim to save and retore these apps or their settings etc but can anyone reccomend something, would I need different utilities for Installer apps and Cydia apps or is there something that suits all?
Cofi

Hello.
If you have your iPhone locked to O2 and you dont wish to soft-unlock it, then you should just upgrade to FW 2.2 and then do the quickpwn. All the warnings goes to the persons that want a soft-unlock in the near future. Along with the new FW 2.2 comes a upgrade to the Baseband that, for now, dev team is saying that all the vulnerabilities they found on the previous Baseband don't apply to the new one.
In concerne to the apps the only thing you can do is install a app called appbackup that you can use to restore the apps after the FW update and the quickpwn.
Greetings from Portugal.
Dino
· 1 year ago
Thank you very much indeed for your quick reply
So to clarify, if I did want to keep the ability to soft-unlock at some time in the far off future (perhaps when I get a new phone and wish to use this iPhone 3G as a backup on a pay-as-you-go sim or something) then I would have to wait until a Pwnage2.2.1 tool is availiable under windows, and use that to create the neccesary firmware file, or alternatively download a firmware file that someone else has created with a Mac specifically for an iPhone 3G on O2 UK?
Also could you confirm that AppBackUp will only backup and restore Cydia apps or will it do both Installer and Cydia apps?
Cofi
· 1 year ago
If you want to soft-unlock your iPhone in the NEAR future than you should not use the official FW 2.2 from Apple or use the QuickPwn tool without doing the custum FW before by the use of the Pwnage tool. You can only do this process in a MAC.
Like I said before along with the new FW 2.2 comes a upgrade to the Baseband that, for now, dev team is saying that all the vulnerabilities they found on the previous Baseband don't apply to the new one. This doesn't mean that they wont be able to do it in the future, it just says that they wont be able to do it in A NEAR future.
In what concern apps where is the explanation for ApTbackup:
"If you have Apps you've downloaded from Cydia, AptBackup by Chris Featherstone will make a list of all of your Cydia Apps then back that list up. When you restore your iPhone and iTunes, run AptBackup's restore in order to find and reinstall all of your packages."
The ApPbackup does the same thing but to apps you got from the iTunes store.
Greetings from Portugal.

if you *don't* want the option of unlocking to another network in the future, then it is ok to update to 2.2 (with itunes) and then run quickpwn with your PC. It wont harm the phone/jailbreak etc.
You probably will have to reinstall your apps manually. 'Aptbackup' in cydia was the solution to this - it didnt work for me during the 2.1 --> 2.2 update though, I don't know if anyone else had problems with it.

Cofi
· 1 year ago
If you do the upgrade to the oficial apple FW 2.2, that you will get by iTunes, than that will upgrade your Baseband and you wont be able to soft-unlock it in the near future. You have to use a custom FW following the steps provided by devteam on the beginning of this post.

Hello,
I bought my iPhone near a Dubai related shop that told me that the phone was factory unlocked. I bought it in a closed box with a strip around that shows it has never been opened. When I upgraded from 2.0.1 (initial fw) to 2.1, the phone became locked and when I QuickPwned it, it re-became unlocked but with no wifi. I brought the Phone to the shop and they replaced it. I upgraded (from 2.0.2 to 2.1) and the same problem occured but when I QuickPwned it, I had my carrier and my wifi (except when I put it in Airplane mode, I did not recover my carrier signal). Now I upgraded to 2.2 and the phone is Locked. I QuickPwned it and it became unlocked but no carrier signal. I reinitialized the carrier settings but the problem is not solved. I brought it again to the shop and they don't understand. Seems like the Dubai iPhone have some problems. Did you hear about that ?

Can I upgrade the firmware to 2.2 using itunes and then use quickpwn (windows version) to do the jailbreak? I heard that some people were having problems with non jailbroken phones with similar situations, if so should I jailbreak the 2.1 firmware first, then upgrade to 2.2 using itunes, and then use quickpwn 2.2?

Dearest Dev. Team, I happen to have misunderstood your warning and thus believed that I could update to 2.2 and still use sim proxies. I know I did not do enough research before starting, but now I need your help. I know Thanksgiving is coming up, but your help would be greatly appreciated. I know that everything is possible with the right software and so the must be a way to downgrade the 3gs baseband. How can I do this? Is it possible that you could release the method you used to "unlock" that 3g the other day to restore the 2.02 baseband instead of the 2.2 baseband? This phone belongs to my mom, and it would be great if I could get back and running for her again since she spent over $1000 on it. Thanks!!

I`m one of the unfortunate to have updated to the new 2.2 firmware. Thing is I tried to revert to 2.1 with the old baseband, and I saw a command in the log saying :
force_baseband_update = 0.
Anyone know to turn that to 1 ? I`m pretty sure that would allow downgrading the baseband.

The unlocked iPhone 3G is available from a few select countries. I think one or two in Europe and definitely Hong Kong, where it sold for around $900 when first released a few months back. In North America, all iPhones are locked to the carrier of purchase (i.e. AT&T or Rogers/Fido). If you do buy from Hong Kong, make sure you purchase the unlocked version, because they sell locked iPhones also.
echo

You can buy legally unlocked 3G iPhones from these countries... Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Its because the law requires cell phone makers to provide an unlocked version of their products to avoid monopolies. The factory unlocked iPhones will be more expensive when bought without a plan as they are not subsidised by the cell provider. Most of these countries (like Singapore and Australia) you will have to sign up for a 2 year plan. However, for countries like Hong Kong you can buy your unlocked iPhone directly through the Apple online store without a contract.
There are enterprising people out there who are buying factory unlocked iPhones from these countries and selling them online. These would probably be the most expensive option usually costing more than USD1000.

I had upgraded my 3G to 2.2 using pwnagetool, and lost all my non-default apps (both from Cydia and from the App Store). So I restored from an old 2.1 .ipsw (yay! my apps and their related data are back!) and tried again. Downloaded aptbackup from Cydia, and ran it. Then upgraded to 2.2 using iTunes, and all my non-default apps are gone (both from Cydia and from the App Store). Ran pwnagetool; now I have Cydia and Installer, but still nothing else. Restored from three different backups, and my apps are still missing. Tried to download aptbackup from Cydia to restore (some of) the apps, and now I can't even find aptbackup.
AptBackup would be a whole lot more useful for upgrades if it still existed after an upgrade :-)

I figured out that I PwnageTool only jailbreaks the phone. Sorry am very new to this.
However, I'm hearing that those of us that upgraded their iPhone 3G to the new firmware 2.2 won't be able to use Proxy SIMS for the time being. Unfortunate for me, but I had already upgraded before looking into unlocking the phone :(
So there is no way to get unlocked iPhone 3G service with firmware 2.2, correct? If someone could confirm, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!

yes, if you upgrade to 2.2 through iTunes, you will not be able to use your proxy SIM as the baseband has been updated. If you updated using the Pwnage method, then you can still use your proxy SIM as the Pwnage method does not update your baseband.

I have not read anywhere or can find anything related to which sim card to have in the phone while doing the jailbreak. I have a 1st generation Iphone with 2.2 firmware. My boss gave it to me with his old AT&T sim in it. I simply want to use it on T-mobile's network. Which sim card do I put in the phone before jailbreaking it? or do it with no sim card? or does it matter? Currently I can't access anything except emergency calls with the Tmobile sim card installed. I have tried repeatedly all combinations but nothing is working and all the tutorials i have found mention nothing of the sim card installed. Thanks

i m using iphone 3g 2.1.using proxy sim.i updated it to 2.2.worked fine.looked everything OK but.......it said no signal.tried hard rest but still same.displays signal for 5 seconds then again no signal.then i tried to do the reset from settings and it said it will wipe all data and will take 1 hour did it.after that i tried downgrading to 2.1....itunes said needs to restore .did it but now its asking for the original sim to inserted.now its not jail breaking or downgrading with proxy sim.i read on internet on so many websites 99% people who upgrade were using proxy sim and all have different kind of error.mainly missing applications or no service.so now the devil (apple) played its role......waiting for the angel (you people) to help us. thanks

Same here, I have three 3G iPhones and 3 sims.
one is on 2.0, one is on 2.1 and one is on 2.2
the sims are all fine as I have tried them in other phones
I think Apple must have done a sly tweak

unfortunately quick pwn failed and you now have the new baseband, so your illegal sim will not be picked up.

I am confused. I pwnd my phone a few months ago with the Pwnage tool. Now it says to just use the QuickPwn. I connected my iphone as per the instructions and it says that the firmware is not compatible with the QuickPwn. I am scared to run the update first for fear that I will brick this thing. What is the exact protocol that I should be following? Is QuickPwn saying this BECAUSE I have never used QuickPwn before, just PwnageTool? Could someone answer this? I am soooo confused.

DEV TEAM members, please help: I have been pwning since 1.1.4 and I must say that this update has been the smoothest ever. However, I made a tiny mistake while running QuickPwn and I am now stuck with official boot and recovery logo, rather than my own. I SSHed into /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app and found two .png files, applelogo.png and Activate.png, which I assume are the official logos. Can I simply replace those files with the Pwnage logo files? Please answer. Thanks a lot

I have a 3G iPhone and was using a byoass sim, I upgraded to 2.2 and bam it has stopped working. like helphelp below I get signal for all of 5 secs and then no servic all the time.
I have annother iPhone 3G in my office and (I think this is 2.1) and now the same thing happens this one too.
it is not the bypass sim as this works in other handsets so what has Apple done and how can i make my phones work??
Finally when will we be able to unlock the 3G iPhone using Windoze?

Your SIM emulators/proxies/etc. will NOT work on 2.2 because if you updated through iTunes the baseband has been updated. They will only work if you updated to 2.2 using Pwnage as with this method, the baseband is not updated.
There is NO unlock for the 3G at this point in time however the Dev Team is very close.

Factory unlocked iphone, itunes installed 2.2.... If you get stuck in the reboot stage at the end of the quickpwn process, then try restoring the original software using itunes and set up as new iphone, then retry quickpwn. Worked for me.

What's the status of the baseband reversal? Can you go backwards to the 2.1 baseband if you've already installed 2.2? And then use QuickPwn on the 2.2 FW to unlock without the baseband?
echo
· 1 year ago
NO. 2.2 Baseband is not hackable and will not be for sometime. READ the instructions above as it clearly states what you need to do if you want to unlock your 3G iPhone in the near future. Upgrading to 2.2 will render it unlockable as it updates the baseband and you will not be able to downgrade at this point in time.

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 1st Gen (previously PwnageTool'd with firmware 2.1) to 2.2 using iTunes... and rather strangely I've found it to still be unlocked without having to use QuickPwn or PwnageTool again! Anyone else found this? Or is it normal behaviour?!

Great work dev team. Still amazed you guys keep on top for the benefit of everyone - for free!!
Had a few hiccups on the way, but knowing is pretty hard to brick the iphone, i was confident i'd get there in the end. - was at 2.1 so after downloading the 2.2 firmware and bootfiles i installed latest itunes and when it asked I shift+click the restore button and used the 2.2. I then got stuck for an hour with the usb=>itunes graphic, but managed to kick it out again and used quickpwn on windows - everything worked!!!
Thanks again Scarab

Hey guys, I also need advice. I have a 2G iPhone which had previously been unlocked and jailbroken and was running 1.1.3. Upgraded the FW in iTunes to 2.2 and ran QuickPwn2.2 on my Intel Mac and now everything works except for the phone.

I don't know where to post this but here it is: I used pwnagetool on mac to jailbreak(previously jailbroken 2.1 3g) and it went through. however, I didnt get any signal(failed) I redid it on another windows xp(i restored it back to 2.1 using a normal restore) then quickpwned it. then i restored it again to 2.2 using ITUNES.
however, after i restored it to 2.2, it was working fine!!!!! I don't know why but i believe the phone should be locked as i used the itunes updater.
Hey guys --- I started doing the Pwnage tool, and during iTunes restore, the phone went off. As soon as it went off, I turned it back on, and now I get the pineapple for about 2 seconds and then a CARTOON image of Steve Jobs with 6 Russian letters on it. What's up with that?

When my phone was doing a similar thing (I had an apple symbol and my iphone was buzzing) I was able to prevent this by holding the home button while itunes was up on my pc. then while holding the home button I had to plug in my iphone to my usb cable that was connected to my pc and keep holding my home button until my pc recognized my phone. it took a few seconds or so but it reset my phone and fixed this error for me. then my phone was fine. perhaps this might be of help to you. My iphone works perfectly now! ;0)
the iphone is still unrecoverable, wih the itunes and usb cable on its screen, and itunes giving me errors like 20 (restoring original 1.1.4) 60 and stuff

All the features work but if i insert any sim it says no service or it doesnt show any signal bars. Firmware version is 2.2 and the sim that is being used is from India.
How do i make my phone work within India using any sim. Currently there is no 3G in India only GSM.

Dev team,
I attempted to use 2.2.1 Pwnage tonight on my AT&T 3G iPhone (whicjh was at 2.1). All seemed to work fine, but after the restore, the phone starts up the pwnapple image and then restarts after about 5 seconds. I have tried several times to restore, each time creating a new custom restore filer. No joy. I checked and rechecked the instructions and the process and didn't miss anything.
I attempted to restore with 2.1 in iTunes (8.0.2, as instructed) but got got the dreaded unknown error(1)) failure.
Also, I noticed that while the standard 2.2 ipsw is 246.4MB in size, the custom restore ipsw out of PwnageTool 2.2.1 is only 236.3 MB. Is this correct?
Any suggestions?

If you do a 2.1 restore it will give you the failure error and put you back into restore mode.
You can get out of restore and you WILL have 2.1
I know so because I just happened to me. Then you can jailbreak and download a custom 2.2 firmware and you got it made.
well.... l updated my iphone to the 2.2 firmware... and followed all the steps as you list them...and l jailbreak the iphone, installer works properly...but cydia DOES NOT work anymore...and a'm sad 'cause l thoungh l could have the same as the 2.1 firm.... l just want to know what could l do to make cydia work again. just appears the page that says (graphic ....)

Well 8th time is the charm. I only changed to NOT activate the iPhone and re-built one last time. This time the "DFU mode" screen appeared from Pwnage and the restore worked and all is running!

Hi,
After spending quite a few hours on the phone with my GSM carrier and Apple, I've decided to write here hoping that someone might be able to enlighten me. Here's the scenario:
Carrier X in country Y offers the iPhone 3G from Apple. Johnny doesn't want to get stuck with carrier X for two years (iPhone contract) so he decides to buy his iPhone off a dude from craigslist. Now, Johnny is pretty impressed because the iPhone comes brand new, sealed, never touched by the actual carrier on which network the device is locked. Johnny gets super excited and he buys it. After he goes home, he pulls out the phone just to find that it comes with a SIM card that is not activated but it belongs to carrier X. Now, he's not able to make phone calls with that SIM card. He throws in his good old Prepay SIM and voila, it works.
Now, this is my case. Any idea how that guy might have gotten his hands on those brand new, sealed (I'm dead serious, those boxes were not resealed or anything, they came directly from Apple) devices? Aren't those supposed to be retailed in the store and when Jack drops by to buy one, the sales person will open the package and follow whatever activation procedure they have? The GSM provider on which's network my iPhone is locked was not able to give me any information in regards to my GSM terminal. Initially they told me that based on my IMEI they can track it down but that's it. They gave me a number, I called they told me that's not possible, they can't do it, they never heard about it but they can sell me a plan for only 29.99 (mecries) Where can I get information about my device based on its serial/imei/whatever number?! Is it the GSM carrier that locks the device on their network or is it Apple that ships them already locked? would it be possible to image the baseband firmware from a factory unlocked iPhone (Belgium,France,Italy,Hong Kong) to a factory locked iPhone? I'd really appreciate some concrete answers to my questions. Yes I googled around. No, I was not satisfied with the answers. Thanks in advance.
Confucious

A very long post giving almost no details and I still don't know what you are actually asking? What network are you on. What network was the SIM that came with the phone? What country are you in? And WTF do you actually want to know?
In what baseband in concerned the thing you said drives to nowhere. If you put a Baseband from a factory unlocked iPhone in a locked one, this last will remain the same... locked.

Hi Andrei. It is not my case, but some questions you are proposing are interestings. I thought my iphone was not carrier locked when I bought it. I was using the Gevey turbo sim, and don't worried about this. But now, with the baseband updated and my iphone in "not service" mode, I'm not sure if this is true or what. I think Apple and the telephone companies are not doing good policy. But is his bussines.
I am also interested in your questions. If I found new information, I will post here. Enjoy your toy.

i havent been able to get the answer for this. By not updating the baseband using JB 2.2, if there were any fixes for dropped call in the official 2.2 release, we would not benefit from that?

Hello,
I think the real question you have to make is if you are having any problems with the dropped calls till the FW 2.1. In my case I don't even remember of having a dropped call, so I rather wait for possible soft-unlock made by de devteam in my FW 2.1.

If I just want to jail break I still need the ipsw correct? and If so is it in a itunes program folder or do I need to download it from a site? Any help thanks.

I have a 16GB 3g 2.1 modem 02.11.07 and was wondering if it was possible to unlock by downgrading to 2.0.2? Is that possible and or advisable?

You're welcome and for the record, I'm not part of the Dev Team. Just someone who has been hacking his iPhone since it was first released almost 2 years ago, and doesn't mind sharing some of my experience.
As for 2.2 FW, it adds stability to Safari, with enhancements to Mail, & Maps (Google Street View). Decrease in drop-calls and set-up failures (I've had no problems with dropped calls pre-2.2) Also you can download podcasts, and AppStore has had a bit of a facelift. All-in-all, not anything that you will sorely miss if you forego the update for now.

Hello folks!
Here's my situation, I'll try to be as concise as I can:
Bought my iPhone 3G via contract on Irelands O2 network.
Ended up moving back to the states a few weeks ago.
I have an old account with AT&T that was still active, and I had them put all the iPhone data plan stuff on. (UNLIMITED DATA, VisVoiceMail, etc)
Bought a TURBO SIM for the 3G.
Now here's my issue:
I can make and receive calls AND texts, but I have intermittent EDGE access. (rarely) And NO 3G access. (WiFi works fine...but you know...data would be sweet when I'm out the house)
Keep in mind it is TURBO-SIM'd.
AND another 3G phone of mine, (a Samsung Blackjack, and my friends LG Shine phone) both get strong 3G signals. And both are on the ATT network.
When I take OUT the AT&T card, and place the old Irish O2 NETWORK SIM in, AND turn on ROAMING, 3G turns on like a champ.
Any ideas, workarounds or solutions guys? Feel free to email suggestions to McLanguage76@Gmail.Com

Why do you expect people to email you when you post in a forum?
Why do you expect a European iPhone, designed to work on 2100Mhz as this is the Frequency used for 3G throughout Europe, to work on AT&T which uses 850/1900 for both GSM and 3G?
JP
· 1 year ago
Well Confucious,
First of all, if you don't want to email me. Then don't. It's your option. Some people prefer to help on the sidelines. Accept it, there's no need to nit-pick all that you don't like in the world.
Re-read what I wrote. When I use my O2 Ireland sim card in my O2 purchased iPhone here in the states, 3G works fine over the American AT&T network. So it's obviously not a hardware issue of not being able to TX on a proper RF, as opposed to using a 3G iPhone on T-Mobiles 3G network.
Thanks for playing. Goodnight!

Hey JP,
It doesn't sound like its the iPhone but actually your TurboSIM. in my experience, unlocking with a TurboSIM or any sort of SIM proxies/emulators, is sketchy at best. I've had friends who used them when OOTB 1.1.4 came out and you couldn't soft-unlock. I also have friends that are using them to unlock 3G and they tell me their iPhones often hang and a whole host of other problems.
How long have you had your Irish iPhone? Maybe if its less than 3 months old you could talk to Apple explaining your extenuating circumstances and they might swap it out for a Yankee iPhone. Then when the software unlock is released you can unlock it that way instead of farting around with SIM emulators. Either that or hang on for a bit as the Dev Team will soon be releasing their 3G unlock. Just my 2¢

Try to reset your network settings and then restart the phone. Maybe that will do the trick. Keep in mind that after this procedure you'll need to retype all your wifi keys.

You're welcome.
At this point dev team is close to soft-unlock of iPhones that have the baseband up to 2.11.07. They looked at the new Baseband, 2.28.00, and found that all holes they found in the previous one don't apply here.
I can only say the same thing I write previously to another user:
You have two hopes: 1 - The dev team figures out a way to revert the baseband upgrade made by Apple. As they already posted, they will not, actively, be looking for this. 2 - The companies that sell the sim proxys work a way around, so these type of solution begins to work with the new Baseband 2.28.00.

This is the second time the QuickPwn for Mac failed for me. I tired once when QuickPwn 2.1 came out. While the initial installation of the modified image appeared to function properly things break down after the install process completes on the iPhone. Once complete the iPhone rebooted, but it returned from boot with the dreaded double buzz and was stuck in a loop. Had to restore from backup. Not a quick task.
So, when QuickPwn 2.2 came out, I was ready to try again. I swear my iPhone must be cursed because the same thing happened last night. The only thing that was suspicious is that during the QuickPwn process (once the phone was placed into recovery mode) iTunes opened. Is this why the final install process failed? I had to restore from backup again last night and I am loath to try this again until I understand why it keeps failing. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Had same problem with QuickPwn for Mac. Decided to use PwnageTool for 2.2 and it works like a charm. I have a iPhone 3G unlocked. See www.hackthatphone.com for a great tutorial on using Pwnage. Best of luck.

If you have too many apps then iphone crashes, uninstall some apps then pwn then reinstall apps.

I'm totally relying on one of the SIM proxy companies to come up with a solution to the baseband update in V2.2....does anyone know of any sim proxys that have solved the baseband 2.28.00 problem in FW 2.2....and if not which is the most likely company to find the solution first!..

Hello,
If I sent my iPhone for a repair to apple, will they update it?!!! Or if they decide to send me a new one, will it be a 2.2?!!! And if they send me an new one could it be possible that it's an unlocked one? (Ahah, why not?)
That doesn't say it supports the new FW2.2. Its only the presentation to their simcard programer. I gave a quick look and they don't even reefer to the new 2.2 FW anywhere in the site.

Hello.
So, I have a locked, jailbroken iPhone 3G FW 2.1 from Orange, a french carrier. They are, by law, obliged to unlock my iphone after 6 months, and so i'll want them to unlock it. I'm supposing that'll be a factory unlock, and doesn't concern the baseband version... But yet, I'd like to know if I upgrade my iPhone 3G to FW 2.2, with the baseband upgrade, will my carrier be able to unlock it after this 6 months have passed?
Thanks a lot
Felipe.

I have the iPhone 3G... love the phone... finally got the SIM card bypass and now it works perfect with any SIM card I put in it... very handy as I work in the Caribbean and travel to different islands and have different local cards for each island.
Question is... I don't care about most of the extraneous features for browsing, games, email, etc... just using the phone, music, movies, and some of my own applications... problem is with iTunes... it locks out the phone saying it has an invalid SIM card and won't allow me to access the phone through iTunes anymore unless I put the original card back in... Don't want to have to do that all the time and risk damaging the shadow card, so is there something I can do that will allow connectivity to iTunes again?
PS... every time I try and connect to iTunes, it does want to upgrade the software in the iPhone but I've denied it every time... current software version is 2.0.1 (5B108)
Thanks in advance. Captain Rick

hey same thing used to happen to me before I bloddy updated to 2.2 without following the golden rule... (no service for me...)
well!
what I used to do is plain simple, just set airplane mode on plug in your iphone to your computer and itunes will recognise it ;-)
be sure that you set airplane mode before running itunes or pluging your iphone to your computer...
you are welcome in advance.
Capt Rick Moore
· 1 year ago
Thanks Ender, that worked... only problem is if I leave it on the dock for any amount of time while using it through iTunes, I can't receive any calls on it in airplane mode... and when I just removed it from the dock and tried to turn off airplane mode I got a SIM failure.
I also forgot that iPod's will only sync with one computer and I just switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro, that's why I want to get everything set up as well as possible. I must admit the only thing I'm disturbed about with Apple so far is they are so intent on locking us exclusively to their devices in so many ways. Ended up wiping my iPhone clean so I can start fresh with the new Mac, but now I've even lost my ringtones that I had to generate with special software on my PC because Apple feels I shouldn't even be allowed to use my own music for ringtones... what's up with that???
These unlocks that everyone keeps talking about, will they help me get around some of these problems so I can at least put what I want on the device I paid so dearly for? I'm must admit to being reluctant to wanting to do anything with a danger of damaging the phone... living on a sailboat in the Caribbean, I'm not exactly in a place I can run to a cellphone shop for help if it goes down. I already have the SIM bypass, I'd just like to be able to unlock some of these features that keep me tied to them exclusively... is that what the jailbreak I saw mentioned is about, and will it let me hook up to iTunes with the shadow card installed on a different SIM? Is there any risk of losing the phone service when using any of them? Sorry for all the newbie questions, everything Apple is new to me, and now I'm in deep! Thanks again. Capt Rick

Hi. I jailbroke my iPhone using quickpwn 2.1 a while back. Loved it. The freedom it gives me to customise my iphone is out of this world. I have everything set up how I want and would LIKE to upgrade to 2.2 but worried about losing everything. Is there a step by step for noobs. I'm seeing a lot of routes to jailbreaking to 2.2 but none of them look foolproof. Basically Id rather not use iTunes because whenever it tries to restore a backup it bricks the phone and I have to restore. Can I just use quickpwn2.2 and keep everything I have or do I have to restore using iTunes and if I do that will I lose everything, cos it looks that way.
Thanks.

Hello,
Then only chance is to getting your hands on a MAC and do your custom ipsw. Than you can go over to your PC and do the rest os the procedure from there.
But if you want a soft-unlock in the near future DON'T use QuickPwn without previously updating your iPhone with a custom FW that carries the old BB 02.11.07 (But this step you can make in a Windows PC).

Cofi

Hello,
Sorry. Nothing you can do for now. You have to wait for dev team find some hole in the new BB or a way to revert the new Baseband to the old one. But until now there is no way to downgrade the Baseband.

I have a 2G iPhone that I had unlocked previously with PwnageTool. It had firmware 2.0 and I simply hit 'update' on iTunes and it went to 2.2 no problem. Everything is working and it is still unlocked. Is there any need to run QuickPwn on it, other than to put Cydia and non-AppStore apps? I have no interest in those, so I can just skip that step, or is there any thing else that QuickPwn does?

Perfect! I have an iphone classic, that was running 2.1, and unlocked. I updated itunes to 8.02, updated iphone through itunes to 2.2, and used the new quickpwn to jailbreak and unlock it. Flawless, worked first time, took about 15 minutes total.
Thanks Dev Team!!!

As dev team said that we must preserve the old baseband to keep our hope for software unlocking the iphone 3g. Which "old baseband" version will likely be supported by dev team? When I got the phone, I have 2.1 firmware with 02.11.07 baseband. There are several baseband before 02.11.07 that come with previous firmware release by Apple. I hope someone can answer my question.
Thank you
Cofi
· 1 year ago
Hello,
As far as we know all the BB up to 02.11.07, witch means all official FW from Apple until 2.1. Dev team is working on 1.45.00, but the holes they found on that BB go all the way up to the 02.11.07. According to them the new 02.28.00 has that holes already covered by Apple.

· 1 year ago
That's a good thing to know because, it will be difficult for someone want to buy a new iphone 3g with BB 1.45.00. It is impossible because the new iphone in the store will have the newest BB from apple.

I wanted to ask something...hopefully this could be understood...supposing that apple unlocks iphones depending on their IMEI is there a way to fool itunes into thinking that the phones imei is from one of the countries where the phones were unlocked such as belgium but still keeping your own imei...i dont think this is too complicated...i doubt apple unlocks depending on the country wer the phone is being unlocked so i doubt a proxy server would make a difference and i doubt they check the sim card.

Any way to upgrade to 2.2 while preserving baseband of 2.1 without using a Mac cause I don't have one? Does anyone know how close the dev team is to unlocking the 3G? It would be a GREAT help as I'm about to shell out $600 for a no-contract iPhone 3G, and I won't be able to use it here without the unlock. Estimated time of arrival: Dec 18th. Any idea if the unlock should be here by then? That's three fundays...
By the way, if I were to pay $200 plus contract, then a month later cancel the contract for $175, it would be cheaper than paying $600, but I've heard it affects credit history! Is that at all true??? Thanks guys we owe you :D

Ladies & gents, Just what is the rush to go ahead & upgrade to 2.2? Obviously for the vast majority of us, 2.1 has worked just fine. Most of the tweaks & improvements that 2.2 offers can be found/downloaded from Cydia, except maybe GoogleMaps Street View. I think that it would be better just to wait until all the kinks are worked out with that new update before subjecting yourselves to all the pain & suffering that we've been reading about the last few days here. I think that the Dev Team are second to none, but on the flip side, the came out with with the Pwnage Tool & QuickPwn in a very short amount of time. They even had to issue updates because of all the hiccups that this upgrade creates. Don't be hasty, remember, less is more. Instead of jumping @ the opportunity to upgrade for no obvious benefit, I think it'd be better to wait & see what else comes up. I'd rather wait for them to develop the soft unlock for the 3G & even then I'll wait @ least a couple of weeks before I install it on mine. I'd rather wait & see what the guinea pigs in this forum experience before I go ahead & mess up an otherwise pretty much working iPhone 3G...just my 2 cents. On that note, Thank you for all your work, diligence & patience Dev Team; it is very much appreciated.

Don't' forget that people mostly post when they have problems here. I see no more posts than with any other update. If it helps, I've NEVER had a problem with a jailbreak from the dev team and this was no different. I did two G3 phones and they are all happy with 2.2 and all my apps back and running. Only intelliscreen is still having a little trouble ( intellidial is not working )
Most people that I see having problems are the ones that did not read how they would lose the hardware unlock, which they now lost. That has nothing to do with PWNAGE.
On the other hand, yes ... you can wait and play it safe, but from my point of view, it's safe already.

Hello everyone.
So, I have an locked, but jailbroken iPhone 3G FW2.1 from Orange, a french carrier. Here the carriers must unlock the phones 6months after we bought it, and so i'll make them unlock my iphone. I think this is a "factory" style unlock, and so, not affected by the baseband upgrade, but i'm not sure.
If i upgrade my iphone to the FW2.2 with the baseband upgrade, will they be able to unlock it?
tks in advance.

Hello,
If the carrier is obligated by law, like in Brasil, to unlock the phone, than doesnt matter what FW or BB you have in your phone. If you are sure that they have to unlock your iPhone than just upgrade with the officlal FW from Apple and then use the QuickPwn is you want third party apps.

Have just successfully installed 2.2 via PwnTools to my 3g.

Hey ... I have a 3G iPhone FW 2.1, locked but jailbroken ... and in no rush to but very interested in updating to fw2.2! Question (dumb or not, just give me a quick answer pls.): - will all my non-native apps (not from Apple) be preserved once/after I update it?! Or are they a goner and I'll have to reinstall them one by one (after re-jailbreaking the phone)?! Thanks a lot! ... SIG

SiG, yeah it will remove all your third party apps. After upgrade to 2.2 itunes will ask if you want to restore, contacts, messages, and some settings. During this process, it will also try to restore your apps, the third party apps will get errors "could not be verified", after you jailbreak 2.2 you can reinstall your 3rd party apps. I haven't tried it yet so don't know if it will for sure.

Thanks guys!!! I'll definitely install aptbackup and try using it ... once i do this! Kinda' ready to now, but I'll wait a while longer ... 'Cause what I'd really like to know is, I guess, how close these "geniuses" really are to unlocking the 3G?!! ... Lots of optimism in here about it happening soon I see ... but no definite answer on that from anybody in charge, I reckon! It would be nice to unlock the phone first ... and then maybe (by a miracle) the upgrade will still keep it unlocked, as i read some comments below of people that had that happen to them (albeit with 2G iPhones apparently) ... I have no clue how the locking of this devices really really works and no one says much about it in here either! It's a big mastery ... ;) wtf!

There's also an app called aptbackup from Cydia.
You can install that first then run a backup within that.
That will create a catalogue of your installed Cydia apps and back the catalogue up into itunes. When you upgrade to 2.2 and jailbreak, install cydia then install aptbackup. Run the restore from there and as I understand it, your apps will be backed up.
That's my understanding anyway. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong.
I'm in the process of trying it as I type!

Hi guys, I'm having a problem I hope you can help with. I am updating from 2.1 jailbreak to the 2.2 jailbreak. I went ahead and updated using itunes 8.0 on a windows vista machine to the 2.2 firmware. Then I downloaded the quickpwn torrent and ran it to install cydia and installer but no custom boot logo. Everything was fine, looked like I remember it from last time until I got to the line asking me to release the power button and continue holding the home button for 30 seconds. I did this but it only took about 10 seconds before it went to the next step to install the jailbreak. I thought nothing of this but then after it was finished and said it was successful during reboot I just got the apple logo and it froze. I figured maybe my timing was off a little so I put it into DFU mode and did a restore from itunes to the pre-jailbreak 2.2 FW and tried quickpwn again, but got the exact same result. I even tried once more with no luck.
Can someone help? I think this is a different issue but I also had categories installed from jailbreak 2.1 and didn't realize I needed to "unhide" apps listed in there, so I am missing some apps that were in folders, but not settings and I think this is an issue that I can fix once I have jailbroken 2.2.
Thx.

Can someone help me out?
Is there anyway to create an .ipsw on a Mac with Pwnage and use it on a Windows PC to upgrade the 3G iphone safely without it having the Baseband updated?
Also - when using Pwnage, is there anything special that i would need to do in order to make sure that the Baseband is not updated? Or do i just run the simple mode with the new 2.2.1 pwnage and it shouldnt update the Baseband?
Thank You!

You can use an ipsw created on a Mac over on a Windows PC.
PwnageTool automatically removes the baseband update from all custom 3G ipsw's.

Hey MuscleNerd thanks for the answer. Got one last question for the day.
FOR 3G IPHONE So after i create a custom .ipsw on a Mac using Pwnage - Are these the steps for me to use on a PC? 1. Restore using Custom .ipsw 2. After Restore use QuickPwn 2.2 to Jailbreak? 3. Thats it?
Thanks Again!
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
You don't need to do step #2 if you're restoring to a custom ipsw. That ipsw will already create a jailbroken system.
Just be sure to hold down the Shift key (in Windows iTunes) when you click "restore". If you don't do that, you'll end up with the Apple one, which you want to stay clear of.

Hmm. Not needing unlock (I expect to unlock my phone from vodafone for a nominal fee in a few months anyway) I went ahead and did a Pwnage upgrade as follows: - download but not install 2.2 firmware via itunes - download pwnage, make custom firmware via expert mode with 1024MB root partition - enter DFU mode (sanity check please: power off, power on with home button held down) - restore using itunes with custom firmware via option-click on Restore - restore from backup, _not_ as "new iphone"
and I had "No Service" for the phone. It is jailbroken etc. It is _not_ using a unlocked SIM/turboSIM etc.
I'm now doing a DFU ordinary restore with the standard Apple firmware as a _new_ iPhone instead of restoring from backup and I have my VodaAU logo back and full signal; it's still doing the sync of the standard apps so I have yet to verify this. If ok, I'm going to proceed to try a DFU restore with the custom firmware again as a new iphone and report.
I know that this is changing several things at once, and hope to report back with more data soon.
meanwhile, can someone please clarify to me what the "new iPhone" option in the restore menu means, versus the restore from backup approach? Exactly what gets done differently in these two routes? - Cameron

When you restore your iPhone as a "New Phone" you are basically resetting it to factory default settings and wiping all user settings and data. If you restore from backup then you are restoring all you user settings, and user profile of your iPhone from a backup file.
When I got my factory unlocked 3G in Hong Kong, I just synced with iTunes and did a restore from backup so that all the user settings from my 2G iPhone would be transferred to the 3G. This worked flawlessly for me and it even "remembered" my "hacked" carrier name as opposed to the actual carrier name (I changed the carrier name to "echo" using Erica Sadun's MiM on my 2G).

Hi I have an apple unlocked 3g iphone from italy and I want to jailbreak 2.2 using Quickpwn but I am unsure what might happen as it seems to browse to a firmware and I am unsure if it will do a restore or just jailbreak. Anyone else jailbroke an unlocked 3g and selected the firmware from the gui? I noticed too that the one from apple I downloaded today is named iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore but this doesnt match what is on my iphone (downloaded last fri and installed ok) according to QuickPwn. (iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore) I downloaded the matching version also which Quickpwn is happy with but still not sure I want a restore done.
Cheers in advance to anyone offering advice and help

Hello,
If you have bought your iPhone in Italy then it comes factory unlocked. If this is correct you can just upgrade your FW to 2.2 using iTunes and the official Apple FW. Your phone will still be unlocked.
Quickpwn doesn't install any FW, it only searches your current FW in order to jailbrake it. The program that instals the FW's is iTunes and the one who builds them is the PwnageTool.
If you want to upload a different FW to your iPhones than you should just click SHIT+RESTORE (from inside the iTunes and after you connected your iPhone to your PC) and choose the FW you want.

Huh? If you are using PWNAGE - that app is for building ipsw's. If you already have a "perfectly good one", then use itunes to install it. If you are using QUICKPWN - it does it's own thing from scratch to your phone and doesn't use any custom ispw's that you've made.
Am I missing something?

I am in the US with locked Iphone 3g with AT&T. I am currently running F/W 2.1 and Modem F/W 02.11.07. I have two questions:
1) Is there any way to SAFELY downgrade from Modem F/W 02.11.07 to 1.45.00? Given that I dont think you can,
2) Can I SAFELY use PWNTOOL 2.2.1 and keep Modem F/W 02.11.07? The documentation I have seen says the Modem F/W should be at 1.45.00 when using pwntool 2.2.1. I think this is because this is the version that the dev team is working to unlock. I'm okay if I have to wait to unlock 2.11.07, but I do want to jailbreak my phone and move to Iphone version 2.2, and keep Modem f/w 2.11.07.
Will this work?
Thanks

Hello,
You can use Pwnagetool with the Baseband 02.11.07. It will perserve your BB and enables you to do a new ipsw file with the older BB.

Success. I used PWNTOOL 2.2.1 to upgraded and jailbreak my 3G to 2.2, and left my BaseBand @ 2.11.07. Everything worked perfectly.
Now, my only hope is that I will still be able to soft unlock the 2.11.07 baseband at somepoint. Does anyone know how likely it is that the solution they come up with to unlock baseband 1.45 will work with bb 2.11.07?

I'm hoping I can get this clear. I'm understanding that an unlocked iPhone 3G and a jail broken one are different, right?I got the iPhone 3G that I bought at BestBuy and use with AT&T. Being ignorant I updated to OS2.2 with iTunes and then jailbroke with QuickPwn2.2 - went without a hitch even recovered old video from cycorder. Then I read all the warnings in cydia about baseband preservation but only applied to unlocked iPhones and not jailbroken. I have never unlocked my phone and am happy with just jailbreak. So what Im asking is did I do anything to my baseband to effect the service I'm recieving from AT&T? Like a poor signal.

Hello,
No. You just upgraded the Baseband, witch means you won't be able to use the soft-unlock dev team maybe releasing in the near future in your iPhone. In what performance is concerned with the new Firmware and the new Baseband, that comes with it, wont be affected.

Or better leave it on 2.0.2 as long as it works..? Never touch a running ... ;-)

I have a 2G iphone that I have been updating wiouth problem from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 Yesterday I have updated to 2.2... used thed quickpwn 2.2.dmg... and guess what... now I have a just a iPod Touch (litthe heavier anyway). Is not giving any sim error... but not working the phone part. I guess the baseband it's also an issue in 2G iphones and not as easy as told here:
"Update or Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything."

The QuickPwn for Windows will do the extra Unlock/BootNeuter step for 2G iPhones if you select its checkbox.
The QuickPwn for OS X currently doesn't offer that so you're better off going with a full custom IPSW via PwnageTool if you're on a Mac and upgrading your 2G from 1.1.4 to 2.2.

I understand that the Pwnage tool creates a custom ipsw file which can be restored - I have done thi successfully in the past. My query relates to Quickpwn as I have never used this before,. If I take a Pwnd/jailbroken 2.1 iPhone 2G without any apps (app store or Cydia) and use iTunes to update to 2.2 I end up with unlocked, activated blank 2.2 iPhone 2G but it is no longer jailbroken. I then install lots of app store apps and use it like this for a few days, syncing and backing up etc via iTunes. If I then decide I want to jailbreak the iPhone using QuickPwn what state will the iPhone be left in once Quickpwn has been run?? Will it be as it was before the Quickpwng but jailbroken or will it be a blank 2.2 jailbroken iPhone? My question basically is, therefore, to achieve a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone 2G that is already 2.2 but without losing information or apps, can i use Quickpwn or not?? Thanks so much for the tools and keep up the good work

Hi,
im searching since a couple of days right now and i cant find ANY working solution to the 2.2 incl. Hardware Unlock Card (i-smartphone). I did the big mistake uprgrading to 2.2 with Quickpawn, now my iPhone is a iPodtouch. Everything works except that i have "no signal" My provider pops up, stays for about 5sec than i get no signal.
Did anyone hear of a working solution (downgrading) or an new hardware unlock card than please tell me. I'd like to use my iphone again:(
Thanks for all your help.

hey i really need help. i live i dubai and i have a locked iphone 3g 16gb from canada. i was currently using a turbo sim to over ride the phone and alow me to access the local network.this was working perfectly. stupidly i connected the phone to itunes and it updated it to firmare 2.2. now the turbo sim doesnt work and i have no network coverage. is there anyway to downgrade to version 2.1 again and revert the baseband back to that version. please help, help, help. im so screwed

apparently not ... as said over and over in here! You may downgrade the whole fw version to the previous or whatever ... but the baseband part will remain the same, so it won't do u any good .. Either wait for a future hardware unlock that works with the new baseband or ... sell it!!!

Solved!!
if you have a 1st gen iPhone (originally 1.1.2 OOB) updated to 1.1.4 (in my case using Ziphone)
don't use Quickpwn 2.2! will kill the Phone features (just disappear)
use Pwnage tool, and if like me you're not a hacker, computer geek, etc. and just a plain user,
The QuickPwn for Windows will do the extra Unlock/BootNeuter step for 2G iPhones if you select its checkbox.
The QuickPwn for OS X currently doesn't offer that so you're better off going with a full custom IPSW via PwnageTool if you're on a Mac and upgrading your 2G from 1.1.4 to 2.2.

Actually i didn't ask the question Jimmy did :) I guess what i am getting at is that we would all like to know what actual progress has been made? Perhaps a roadmap of what has been done and what is left to do with estimated times to complete those tasks? I get confuzzeld when I read posts on this blog from several months ago that say things like "soon" and "near future" when refering to the unlock.
Please take these questions in the spirit that they were asked. I am not complaining or whining, i really appreciate that you guys are doing this as a hobby and as such the work will get done as and when you find the time. I am probably not alone when i say that i am blown away by what you have already accomplished with the Quickpwn and Pwnagetools.
Keep it up guys i'm sure you'll do it!!

Hello,
At this time there's nothing no-one can do. With the new FW 2.2 comes a new Baseband (02.28.00) that cannot be hacked now or in a near future. You will just have to wait.

Hello, I have an iPhone 3G, locked to a carrier, running it with a turboSIM now, my firmware is 2.0.2 with a 01.48.02 baseband. Is it safe to update to firmware 2.1 or should I better not touch it ? I don't know if pwnage avoids a potential baseband update in fw 2.1
Thanks in advance Happy Thanksgiving

The latest baseband is 2.2. But if you use PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW and then use that (and *not* the Apple one), your baseband will be safely kept at whatever version you're running now. (However you can't use QuickPwn to do this...only PwnageTool).

Hi,
I've just updated my iphone 3g to firmware 2.2 and after that my phone suddenly went into emergency calls only. Then a friend tried to quickpwn it and it didnt really worked. After that, I restored it back to ver2.2, and everything went back to normal except that it didnt have any signal. Then I tried to quickpwn it again and this time it failed, and i restored it back to firmware 2.2 again. It's back to emergency calls again. Any solution to this? Please i need help.

Yes. That's how I first did it with my new (unibody) MacBook Pro. Once your iPhone is already Pwned, then just create the custom firmware on your new MB and then alt+restore to select your custom FW to restore to your iPhone.

If you have upgraded to version 2.2 and want to downgrade your firmware again to say 2.1 or 2.0 you do the following you can download all old versions of software by clcking on this link http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 what you need to do then is move the downloaded file in to the iphone software update folder in itunes to do this you need to do the following. if you have vista click start then in the start search box type in %appdata%\apple computer\itunes click on iphone software updates remove the software you have in there and replace with the download version then close the page down open itunes and then click restore your iphone will now download the the firmware to 2.0 / 2.1 etc. for xp do the same click start but then click run and then copy and paste %appdata%\apple computer\itunes and follow the above information.

Hy everybody and first of all: THANKS FOR YOUR PRECIOUS WORK!!!
Now to my question: got my iPhone 2G with FW 2.0.1 (done with pwnage, NO quickpwn). I'm a MacBook user (actually got my new Alluminium one and sold my MB white). As from point 6 reading: "... While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.", I'd like to ask: am I safe if I try to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.2 on my OSX 10.5.5 on Alluminium? Or would I encounter the "no-DFU" problem?
Which is the best way, in my situation, to step to 2.2 (and I'd also like to get rid of "Installer")?
Thanks in advance!
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Since you're already pwned and jailbroken, you won't get hit by the DFU problem in the newer MacBooks. Just use PwnageTool to create your ipsw and do an Option-Restore from iTunes and use that custom ipsw.
If you use PwnageTool in "advanced" mode, you can prevent Installer from being installed.

Back again, now with FW 2.2 (thanks for your answer). Now I've *not* installed the Installer (I only selected Cydia to be built into the FW). When I start Cydia I get asked what kind of user I am, and after I tap on "User", Cydia closes and I get back to SpringBoard: what's wrong here? Thanks as usual ;-)

MuscleNerd

For iPhone 2G or iPod 1G you can go right from 1.1.4 to 2.2 with an official Apple restore then QuickPwn 2.2 for Windows. Be sure to click that lower right box for the Unlock/BootNeuter.
If you're on a Mac, the QuickPwn for OS X doesn't yet include the Unlock/BootNeuter step so you'll want to use PwangeTool instead.

I lose carrier signal (2.2 upgrade on 3G iPhone). Any suggestions? I have a iPhone 3G (on contract with Movistar in Spain). I followed your recipe for upgrading from 'factory' 2.1 to 2.2 with Pwnage (thus preserving the baseband). The phone has NOT been upgraded to 2.2 by iTunes. After using the custom firmware to let iTunes upgrade to 2.2, the phone did not activate. Thus, I end up with no carrier signal ("no service"). I have then downgraded to factory 2.1 using unmodified Apple firmware. The phone then activates properpy and the carrier signal is healthy again. I have since twice attempted the 2.2 upgrade (each time letting Pwnage create a new custom firmware package), but the carrier signal still fails to materialize for me under 2.2. Which I suspect is for lack of 'activation' by the phone. And each time, I can successfully downgrade to factory 2.1. Any suggestions/comments?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you're using simple mode, answer the "official carrier" question opposite how you did before.
If you're using advanced mode, change the selection for "Activate" under the General menu.
Christian Quaade
· 1 year ago
Thanks for responding. I have always been using the advanced mode, but, as you hit on, never clicked on the 'General' menu. So I have now tried this. When I open the 'General' menu, however, the "Activate" check mark was already on (or it was off and then turned on because I opened the menu?). Nevertheless, I made a new Pwnage firmware for 2.2, and installed it via iTunes. But, alas, the phone still does not activate and I get "no service". Again, I successfully downgraded to 2.1 via stock Apple firmware. Odd, no? Any more suggestions? Should I attempt take the path from stock 2.1 to Pwnage 2.1 to Pwnage 2.2?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
The default for "Activate" in advanced mode is checked, so I would create one with it unchecked. Unchecked means you don't need fake activation and that iTunes would normally activate you.
Christian Quaade
· 1 year ago
Thanks, that did it. Maybe a less ambiguous choice of words in the 'General' menu (instead of simply "Activate") could be a helpful touch to PwnageTool. Also, I would suspect most 3G users would wish NOT to "activate", as most still rely on a contract (and as there is no unlock yet). So the default under Advanced may be a bit misleading to the casual user (like me).
Christian Quaade
· 1 year ago
Maybe I should note that I'm using a MB Pro (2 years old and not a new unibody MB Pro). I have not attempted going from factory 2.1 to Pwnage 2.1 and then on to Pwnage 2.2.

Hey dev team
If you actually read these posts then I would like you say that we really want to donate something to you rather than paying those guys who just sell us proxy Sims. Your work is genuine work towards our people who are using iphones. I read that u people are just part timers in this but ur like god to us. u people don’t accept any donations. That means you only work when you are actually free from other things. After reading all this and replies from muscle nerd and echo who claims that they are or they worked for you or vice versa. The thing i noticed after reading all this is that you people are working on iphone 3g 2.1 to sim free it. So that we people don’t have to buy those proxy sim cards. So that we save money. And you are about to launch that software before Christmas. Thank you for this. But what about iphone 3g 2.2 users? what i think is that after doing this u might be working to help we people who are stuck on 2.2 who have upgrade the base band without looking at your warnings.means that we fucked our iphones and we are expecting you people to help us. We don’t doubt ur capabilities but it will take about 30 to 50 days for you to get out of this misery. So 2009 should bring us all good news from Ur team that u broke apples fucking plan and base band thing and we all can use our sim locked iphone 3g with proxy Sims or may be we will not use any proxy Sims after Ur effort. I’m telling you. I have packed my iphone 3g which is locked to uk o2 and I was using it in Dublin with o2 Ireland with proxy sim.so im using now nokia the beast every we can get. After that im buying theirs 5800 music express…..will use it until you get out of this ditch. I think nokia is far far far better than apple. but apple was the first so we have to respect them and still they are ahead in their game. So im anxiously waiting for you guys to help us who are using proxy sim and updated to 2.2.
thanks

Am I missing something? Please bear with me, I am doing it first time. Do you have some kind of step by step guide for unlocking first generation iPhone with firmware 2.2?
Due thanks in advance, you guys are doing a wonderful job.
Ok im coming to the main source here. Im getting really Frustrated at Pwnage and Trying to Create a Custom Boot Logo.
I have watched videos, looked up instructions and the darn thing wont WORK!!!!
Please someone tell me what im doing wrong. Im using Photoshop CS3 Did it 2 Ways. First i created a New Layer - Placed the photo and saved as PNG 24 with Transparency checked. - No Luck Then i opened the jpg file and did the Magic Eraser to create the Alpha Layer and saved it as a PNG 24 with Transparency Checked.
Both times image was less than 100kb and the size 320x480 Im usng RGB
Pwnage keeps telling me: Sorry that doesnt appear to be a Proper PNG File.
Any Help would be much appreciated. Thank You!

DO NOT CHANGE THE BOOT LOGO.
By doing so, if you need to take the phone to an apple store or AT&T for any reason (such as having the battery replaced) they won't touch your phone and you will be screwed. Twice.
MuscleNerd

As long as the iPhone can still accept an iTunes "restore", the original boot logos can be restored. But yeah if your iPhone gets so bent out of shape that it cannot even be "restored", the boot logo you're using is the one they'd see at the store :)

With the cable connected, try holding down both buttons for a very very long time, up to 30 seconds. Also sometimes the screen is black but the phone is on, so make sure iTunes is running to see if it detects it even though the screen is black.

Its just 2.2 cause it updates your baseband to 02.28.00 which is the one you DON'T want if you want to soft-unlock your 3G.

Pwnage is to keep the baseband. Quickpwn won't work for that particular function.

Upgraded to 2.2 on iTunes 8. Ran Quickpwn 2.2 to (attempt) jailbreak/unlock.
My phone has been stuck on the load screen for 4 hours now. It resets about every 15 minutes only to stay on load screen. iTunes does not recognize my phone. What do i do?
Jake
· 1 year ago
You did not follow the directions properly. You now need to restore the phone. By doing so, you are now going to overwrite the baseband, that is unless, you revert back to 2.1 and follow directions correctly when attempting to jailbreak.
The only time I had an issue like this was when I jailbroke the first time earlier this year and installed winterboard, a bunch of themes, and tried using them one after another before rebooting the phone.

Same as Basil here. Phone was pwned for 2.1 and now I just clicked on Update in iTunes 8.0.1 and it loaded 2.2 straight from Apple. After it was finished, phone starts as normal, 2.2 is on, activated and works with a foreign sim and network. Only thing I noticed, is that the Installer and Cydia are gone. I think I'll leave it at that.. as long as it works, good stuff.

Hello,
Of course, but in Brasil, as in Italy, all the phones must be unlocked by the carriers if the clients want to. That's the law over there. In most of the countries around the world the iPhone comes locked to a carrier and there's no way to gou around that. At least until the soft-unlock by dev team.

Dude, I have a G2 iPhone bought in the Applestore in NY in Nov 2007, so it should be locked to the ATT carrier. How do you get the BRasil idea anyway? I was seconding Basil, the guy below who observed the same. I'm using it in Switzerland...
MuscleNerd

Your 2G baseband was still unlocked because there was no reflashing of the baseband for 2G phones going from 2.1->2.2. Your existing hacked baseband wasn't touched.
You didn't have to activate because you did update instead of restore.

MuscleNerd sayd "Heh but you asked that specific question, I was just replying :) (By the way I should amend that answer with"for the 01.45.00 baseband", since that's all we've looked at so far).".
Here's some question:
1 - Will that work apply to all BB's up to 02.11.07 ? 2 - Will there by a way to downgrade from BB 02.11.07 down to 1.45.00?
I'm using the 02.11.07 as a reference because of the obvious. The holes you guys found on the new BB doesn't apply to all the previous ones.
Thanks in Advance.

Very good job devteam ! Now the 2.2 is broken ! All are waiting the day where you'll release the 3G unlock !

"SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too."
Which phones are these? I bought one from 02 in the UK WITHOUT SERVICE PLAN. Is this "factory unlocked?"
thanks.

Try putting in a SIM from a different provider/carrier to see if it works. If you can't get a SIM from a different provider, then I would verify with O2. I know some service providers (like Vodafone in Australia) will sell you the unlock code for AUD75 after you have signed a 2 year contract with them. The iPhones they sell are locked but they will unlock it for you.

First try inserting a SIM from a different provider/carrier. If it works, then you probably have a factory (Apple) unlocked 3G. If you don't have access to a SIM from a different provider, then I would verify with O2.
Also, I know some companies (like Vodafone in Australia) will sell you an unlock code if you have a contract with them. Legally they have to provide that as that's the law in Oz. I doubt you can get that option as you bought your iPhone without a plan (not sure if UK telecommunications law is the same as Osz where you have to provide an unlocked version).

It depends. What's the Baseband on the iPhone?

I don't know what the baseband is. I just updated to version 2.2

You have conflicting info here. You said you bought your iPhone with 2.2 already installed. Then you said you upgraded to 2.2. Which one is it?
To find your baseband: Settings>General>About>Modem Firmware.

Need some help guys...
I had previously upgraded to 2.2 on iTunes (before I discovered this forum).
I used QuickPwn last night to jailbreak my 3G iPhone (using the QuickPwn for Windows links on this site), and received the final screen that says it was successful (and was waiting for the phone to boot up to confirm).
Unfortunately, my phone is stuck in a reboot cycle. It will boot with the apple logo on the screen, vibrate twice from time to time, and then finally eventually reboot again.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

There is nothing wrong with the phone. You did not follow the directions properly when attempting to jailbreak.
Restore to factory, and then try Quickpwn again. It's VERY simple.

Sorry to say, but you should have listened. There's NOTHING you can do at this point in time. However, I heard a RUMOUR that there is a SIM proxy/emulator (like your TurboSIM) that works with 2.2. If not, I'm sure one of the SIM emulator companies will come out with a solution soon enough. In the meantime, Nokia!

Retry Pwnage in "Advanced Mode". In the "General" section make sure you have "Activate" checked/selected. Also in the Bootneuter section, make sure you have "Neuter bootloader", "Unlock baseband", and "Auto delete Bootneuter.app checked/selected.
If you used PwnageTool, it looks like you either answered the "Do you have a contract" question wrong (in simple mode), or had wrong setting for General->Activate (in advanced mode). Create a new ipsw with that changed and try that one.

You want a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone and you want to stay with AT&T?
Here's how (And I'm sure some of you idiots will STILL SCREW IT UP)
Download Quickpwn. Download the latest 2.2 Firmware. Updateiphone to 2.2 using itunes. When done, run Quickpwn. While in Quickpwn, check Cydia for installation. Don't bother with Installer. It SUCKS. Follow tragically simple onscreen directions. Bam, you're effing done.
If you still screw this up, get rid of the bloody iphone and get yourself a motorolla razor. It's right up your alley.

Update to the lastest version of itunes. If that doesn't work, I assure you, you're doing something else that isn't right among the simple steps required for a successful jailbreak.
However, you aren't providing enough information to anyone in order to properly troubleshoot the EXACT problem you're having. If you need help, please be more specific.

Hi,
I am running on windows :( and I have an iPhone 3g on att which I would like to update to 2.2 but I read that I am not supposed to use QuickPwn if I want to have a potential soft-unlock in the future.
Is there anything I can do? Are there any reliably custom IPSW's that I can get?
Jake
· 1 year ago
Did you go ahead and read the directions on how to jailbreak it without overwriting the firmware? I'm guessing the answer is a big, fat bloody NO.
It's quite simple, actually. The directions that the dev team took their time outlining clearly state the method for doing this.
Please, for the love of father christmas and virgins, read the dev team's description for jailbreaks/unlocks for version 2.2, THEN, if you still have questions, by all means ask them. This site is already cluttered to hell from thousands of people asking questions that have already been answered countless times.

Clearly you misunderstood this original peron's comment. I do agree it was a rather disjointed and fragmented post, but his question deals directly with the lack of a Pwn tool for windows. So, perhaps I can ask the same question and hope for a response and not a flame...
Is there a way a Windows user can update and Pwn their Iphone while keeping the downgraded baseband? Is there an ipsw we can download? There doesnt seem to be a Pwntool for windows... Which means I cannot update my iPhone to version 2.2 and preserve my baseband, correct?
Thanks for those who actual contribute and especially thanks to the dev team!!
echo

No, there isn't a PwnageTool for Window... yet. you'll have to download a custom FW which can be rather dodgy as there is no way to verify the FW. Otherwise, find a friend with a Mac to help you out.

When I download quickpwn and extract the files, there is no arrow at the bottom right of quickpwn and it will not detect iphone. I've tried rebooting both PC and iphone, connecting iphone first and then launching quickpwn, the reverse of that, I've tried it on firmware 2.1 and 2.2. I've also tried downloading quickpwn 2.2 multiple times, re-extracting, etc. I think it has something to do with windows XP. Here is what I'm working with, any help would be greatly appreciated: Iphone 3G PC, Windows XP Itunes 8.2 Firmware 2.2

Just bought a 3G 2 weeks ago. Prior to knowing about 'jailbreaking' or having the potential opportunity to unlock the 3G's in the future, I updated the firmware/baseband to version 2.28.00 via iTunes, which I'm assuming is the "2.2" update everyone on here is speaking of. Having that said, it seems to me that I can still surely jailbreak my phone but now I will not be able to use the soft-unlock procedure that may be comming out soon? Can someone verify this for me? I searched this whole page, sorry if I missed it somewhere.

So, i finally got brave enough to try a jailbreak on my 3g iphone, followed the excellent stepo by step tutorial on http://www.hacktheiphone.com/ got to the stage where i use iTunes to restore the custom ipsw file created by Pwnagetool and i get an error from iTunes saying seomthing like "Iphone could not be restored due to an unknown error". I tried several times on my Mac and got the same results. So i thought i'd try and run the update on my Windows PC. Same error was returned.
Any Ideas guys?

It depends on the error number....but in general: either you're not at the latest version of iTunes, or you didn't enter DFU mode via the button presses correctly.

The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1604).

Update, Well after hours and hours of trying 3 different computers 2 different pwnage ipsw's i had absolutely no luck trying to get my iPhone out of the restore mode, or applying the custom ipsw's. I felt like i had no choice but to try the official 2.2 software update. Lo and behold it worked straight away...*blink*....horay!!! Unfortunately this was my only course of action and it of course excludes me from any potenial software unlocks in the near future.
I guess you guys can reads this as a potential "WARNING". Although i followed the steps listed here and at other sites step by step i was not able to get a jailbreak to work and potenitally had bricked my iPhone.
Dev Team, any suggestions to what i had done wrong?? i read multiple sites all refering to the dreaded 1604 errors, it appears i am not alone!!

Hi guys!
I'm still alittle confused. I have an iPhone 3G 2.1 - it is locked to the UK carrier O2 - but I'm using a YesSIM to get around the SIM lock - and use my personal SIM card on VodaFone.
I know that upgrading to 2.2 via iTunes will
a) Stop the YesSIM from working b) Make any chance of a Software unlock on the iPhone 3G - pretty much impossible.
However, I'm using Mac OS X. What is not clear to me - is if I use the PwnageTool to create a custom 2.2 firmware - preserving the Baseband of 2.1 - will my iPhone 3G still work with the YesSIM ?
Thanks guys hope you can point me in the right direction.

Hi MuscleNerd,
Sorry to bombard you with questions again. I've read your post regarding late MacBooks 2008 - have a problem in iTunes that an iPhone cannot be detected when in DFU mode.
I bought my MacBook in February 2008 - but I do remember when I first tried to Pwnaged my iPhone 3G with 2.1 - I remember iTunes reported an error when attempting to load the custom 2.1 ipsw file. So, what I did - is QuickPwned my iPhone 3G - FW 2.1 .. and that worked.
Now, I don't know if the iTunes error I got was a result of another problem - or this MacBook modification - that Apple introduced to stop the Jailbreak procedure.
Without actually going through the PwnageTool jailbreak method - is there a way of determining if my MacBook has this hardware modification that Apple introduced ?
Thank you very much and your patience.

Then, I still keep going to pwn it
With this Custom-ipsw, I [option]+[restore], everything goes fine, only Cydia get crash(back to Home screen) after I select whatever mode in Cydia.
Any solution to solve this problem or it is the traffic jam of the source?

"SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too."
I did exactly the above and now my iphone is locked!!!! Please, Dev Team verify these instructions because my iphone no longer has service and itunes says i don't have a valid sim. I am writing this for the benefit of others who might have bought a factory unlocked phone and might want to upgrade through itunes. Any ideas?

i guess it was factory unlocked when i bought it cause i was able to use sim cards from different countries when i travel and they all worked. There was no sim adaptor at all.

I have an iPhone originally offered with 1.0.2. I upgraded the baseband and updated to 1.1.4. Using QuickPwn, I then upgraded to 2.2 and the phone is bricked. Sigh. Now to dig out that baseband patch...
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Are you on a Mac or PC?
For iPhone 2G or iPod 1G you can go right from 1.1.4 to 2.2 with an official Apple restore then QuickPwn 2.2 for Windows. Be sure to click that lower right box for the Unlock/BootNeuter.
If you're on a Mac, the QuickPwn for OS X doesn't yet include the Unlock/BootNeuter step so you'll want to use PwangeTool instead.
Dougx

Further info: When I upgraded to 1.1.4, I installed Modem Firmware version 4.04.05_G. NewPwn installed 4.05.04G, and the phone now doesn't work as a phone (it gives "No Service" on the top LHS of the screen). I wonder if 4.04.05G is compatible with 2.2?

I found a link to a 2.2 Firmware that has been customized with the baseband of the 2.1
I don't have a Mac to customize my own Firmware. I have Iphone 3G running on 2.1. will it work fine when I use the Firmware I found? or should I wait for the soft unlock?
Thanks

i download quickpwn and try to open it and it says
The application faile to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Clock on OK to terminate the application.
if on windows, download and install .NET Framework 2... it's a requirement for QuickPwn to run and it will fail on initialization if you don't

Hi I just pruchase a 3G unlocked phone. When i purchase the phone i could immediately insert my sim card and everything worked fine until i tried to download a game using installer. Now, i have the apple logo staring at me with Salvo56 at the bottom of the screen. I have looked at the options that you have which i assume most suited would be Pwnage Tool which i have downloaded. However it has ask me for IPSW so i am at a lost. Can you tell me which procedure would be best suited for me. I use a macbook and have the current version of itunes - Thanks
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you have an actual unlocked phone and not one that works because of an external or internal sim proxy, then your phone is virtually indestructible and you're in good shape.
If PwnageTool can't find the IPSW on your Mac, you've probably never downloaded it from Apple. Download it via iTunes or find the direct link to it early on the tutorials out there like at http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
After you've got that ipsw, you're better off (because you have true unlock) just using QuickPwn instead of PwnageTool (they both ask for that ipsw though). In your situation, do a full restore using Apple's ipsw first, then follow up by running QuickPwn.

Thanks - a point of clarification before i get excited about having an unlock phone, how would i know for sure? Not to put a damper on things but how do i know that it is unlocked or already been jailbroken? I also have a bunch of applications installed when i purchase the phone, would all of those application be wiped out? Finally i have dwnloaded the ipsw file from iClarified, latest version using firefox so your advice would really start the process for me
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you had more applications on your 3G than just the standard 16 or 17, then it's probably not directly from Apple. Was it wrapped correctly in cellophane?
Can you go to Settings->General->About and find the "Version" and "Modem FIrmware"?
3Gnightmare
· 1 year ago
That's just it - i got it from a seller that says its unlocked, ask me if i want applications on it and puts in 50 applications though it did cost me an extra 100. No cellophane just that neat box with the respective cables Unfortunately i can't get into the phone at all and when i hook it up thru USB, itunes does not recognise that it is there
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Well then there's good news and bad news.
Good news is that your phone works (it does, right)?
"Bad" news is that you aren't really Apple unlocked. But that's okay *as long as you don't update using official an official Apple ipsw, or through something iTunes offers you*.
Stay away from QuickPwn and from iTunes updates and you should be good to go.
(Also, I think if you launch iTunes with your iPhone connected but in Airplane mode, you may have more success with iTunes. To get around that, use the Mac PwnageTool 2.2 and create a custom ipsw. In simple mode, tell PwnageTool you are not normally able to activate through iTunes. Then restore to that custom ipsw (not the Apple ipsw!))
3Gnightmare
· 1 year ago
well it use to work but now it does not since i tried to download an application thru installer, i.e. currently not working: Now just that apple logo and salvo56. I presume then that i have to use the Pwnage tool and ipsw, i.e. follow the tutorial on iclarified? Also am assuming that i will loose all those applications?
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Yes you'll lose the apps because of the "restore" (you don't want to do an "update").
Hmm have seen reports of that salvo56 thing before...do you happen to know what Installer app you installed just before that started happening?
The most critical part of what you'll be doing is restoring to your own custom ipsw. Please be sure to stay far clear of the real Apple one. If you stay clear of that, any other mistakes you may do can be fixed.
3Gnightmare
· 1 year ago
ok so avoid the update and just do restore with pwnage tool and customize ipsw, i.e. follow the tutorial How to Jailbreak Your 2.x.x 3G iPhone (Mac) from iclarified exactly correct? I got the Salvo56 trying to install backgammon from installer.
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Yep the Mac iclarified tutorial should work well for you. Thanks for the info about the backgammon installer app.
(If you remember the names of a few of the apps that you'll find you've lost, that would be good info too (was "Monkey Ball" one of them?). If a sim proxy installer was also installing cracked apps, that would be pretty bad.

- when i started the itunes it told me the sim card not supported and i searched online to solve this issue i found that if i put the phone airplane mode the itune will read it and it worked for me ... after that i registered my phone on itune it said there is anew version 2.2 would u like to download i clicked yes ( i wish i didn't ) then it downloaded and i clicked on it to set it up and started setiting it up and on the phone also i saw the white loading after that i got the new version but with no service i waited for a littel but nothing came .. ( on the old version which u sent it with i used to wait a littel then it shows the network and it workd fine ) so i decided to restor the old version taking in consideration that the itune already took a back up from the phone and i think it used it in restoring for seconde time the itunes loading and the phone loading also and after it finished it restarted after restarting it showed the graphic picture an usb on it above it a white arrow pointing to itunes ( which i think it needs me to connect the phone to itune ) and when i connect the phone to itune it give me sim card not supported ... now i am stuck and i do not know what to do .. i have good experince with computers and internt but if u can tell me in steps what i shall do to make the phone work again that will be awesome... i just want get my app back like before ( find the attached file to know what i mean ) and about unlocking the phone i can try to figure that out but first i need to make the phone work i need it to start the application and that graphic picture about the usb go away .... do u think u r able to help with this ??? the phone now is like it just came out of the factory it has no OS installed

I've been reading all the comments and from what I see I dont think its a good idea to upgrade whatsoever. I have a US jailbroken (through PwnageTool_2.1) but locked 3g, on USBfever proxy sim using T-Mobile, fm 2.1, baseband 02.11.07. Had it for few months and everything works perfectly including edge internet, cydia, and reception along with my 1000 $40/month minutes. I've seen that ppl still loose either networks or Cydia or screw up their phone completely even tho they follow instructions and use PwnageTool2.2 which omits toxic 2.2 baseband update. Does the street view on google maps is that critical in jeopardizing your phone? I'll hold off for a while and see what new developments will come along and maybe BIG maybe will update once its absolutely necessary. Better safe than sorry.
Rich
· 1 year ago
Alex, Maybe you can give some pointers? My 3g is at 2.2 and I have not jailbrokin it yet nor do I want to, I just want to use cydia and winterboard. I plan on stayin with AT&T for a while so I don't want to risk bricking my phone. What can I use to get cydia on there and the other tools? Do I have to jailbreak it? Please clear up my confusion... Thanks in advance!!! Rich
alexlate
· 1 year ago
Hey Rich,
In order to get Cydia and Winterboard you'll have to jailbreak - that is the only option you got. Since you are using AT&T the whole 2.2 upgrade does not apply to you. The only thing you should be cautious is when you jailbreak it, either PwnageTool or QuickPwn - does not really matter since you are on AT&T anyways, is that the warranty might get voided since you altered the software - whether its true or not I dont know - I never was AT&T customer so I wouldnt know. Some people say a simple restore will be sufficient if you are planning to use warranty for something. Double check on that and everything is fine go ahead and jaibreak - its super easy.
Rich
· 1 year ago
Alex thanks for the reply...it seems they are few and far between for some. One last thing that I saw was on engadget mobile the dev tech team warns "if you have any interest in unlocking your iPhone 3G in the near future, only use PwnageTool, not the more painless QuickPwn. You've been warned! " so can I still use QuickPwn and if so which version? Linky: "http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/22/iphone-2-2-gets-quickpwn-and-pwnagetool-of-course"
alexlate
· 1 year ago
No prob man, Well don't read other websites for this info go straight to the source which this site. Engadgetmobile is correct tho. Basically if you want soft-unlock in the future you have to use PwnageTool if you dont (which I thought was your case since you have AT&T) then you can use QuickPwn. But let me get this straight: you have AT&T correct? Have you upgraded to 2.2 already through iTunes? Because if you did you upgraded you baseband to 2.2 as well and that eliminates your soft-unlock chances for the future. Now if you havent upgraded yet then go ahead and use PwnageTool2.2 and it will upgrade the firmware w/o the baseband AND jailbrake it so you will be able to soft unlock your phone in the future. As you can see it all depends where you stand with your phone, company, firmware version, etc. For example I use proxy sim with T-Mobile - it works perfectly but if I will upgrade to official iTunes 2.2 firmware I would be screwed as it renders proxy sims unusable.

Hi guys!
I was attempting to upgrade my Locked iPHone 3G from 2.1 -> 2.2 .. and preserving the 2.1 BB. I got the device successfully into DFU mode. iTunes 8.02 successfully detected the phone and told me I had to restore it.
Great! I thought. I have a Mac. So, I held down the "cmd" button - which as far as I know is the option button - then clicked restore. iTunes instead of displaying a dialog box - it said "Extracting software."
In a panic - I disconnected the iPhone - rebooted the device - and all was well. I still have GSM service via my SIM Proxy (YesSIM) I disconnecting it - because I was thinking "Oh crap! It's going to upgrade to Apple's 2.2 - & not my custom IPSW build."
What's going on ? I thought holding the "cmd" button (the one with the clover) & clicking Restore was the same as Option + click Restore
What gives guys ? Cheers

Hi there,
I don't have a Mac, but from what I have read "http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1558" you should hold the Alt/Option button and click Restore, as it;s mentioned in step ten. After that a dialog window will appears where you can select the custom IPSW, (and here you know you're in the right way) hopefully ;) good luck.

I have updated my iPhone 3G to 2.2 by mistake (the baseband too, grrrrrrrr). Now my turbo sim is not working. I have downgraded the firmware to 2.01, but my SIM is still locked. Actually I did all kind of downgrading to 2.0, 2.01, 2.1, but baseband remains 02.28.00.
I am asking your advice, weather to wait for you to break the baseband downgrade lock process (not to unlock the baseband, but to downgrade it to a previous version) or I shall buy a new "turbo" SIM for 2.2 firware?
Thx

Neither will work. You are stuck with the new baseband and will have to wait until one of the SIM proxy makers come out with a solution,

hey echo, that is what my son came up with, do you think that would work?

The new baseband (02.28.00) CANNOT be downgraded and proxy SIMs (like your TurboSIM) will not work with it. Buying a new TurboSIM will not unlock the new baseband until TurboSIM comes out with a unlock solution for 2.2.
All you can do at this point is wait and hope that one of the proxy SIM makers (TruboSIM, RebelSIM, YesSIM, etc.) will come out with a work around for the 2.2FW (02.28.00 baseband) soon.

I upgraded quick QuickPwn 2.2 on Windows but when my phone was in the final reboot phase, it seemed to get stuck on the Apple logo (I chose not to replace the logo). I could hear the connection sound that windows makes when you connect a USB device, and after about 25 mins, nothign more happened.
I ended up restoring my device to revert the jailbroken state. Anyone else have this issue?

2. Could you give us (the great 2.2 unwashed) any indication of when you might start work on the 2.2 firmware? If ever? I short yes or no would be good :)
3. Was my 2.11.07 going to be unlocked in this potential unock? Or is it only the 1.45 one that this one applies too?
Thanks Guys

Biggus,
1. Did you restore to the official 2.2 thru iTunes? If you did, then your baseband has been upgrade too. Try this link to shed more light on your error... http://www.simonblog.com/2008/10/07/iphone-jail...
2. I have a feeling it won't be anytime soon.
3. I believe the pending soft-unlock is for the 02.11.07 baseband as that was the last baseband before the 2.2 upgrade.
P/S Keep the faith and feel the "love" again.

Hey guys,
Juist wanted to say Keep up the good work, and also to ask a pretty simple question:
Currently im using the windows QuickPwn tool, and every time i want to restore my phone with a custom IPSW, it has to rehash the entire IPSW. Then QuickPwn gets a fatal error, crashes just before uploading the IPSW, and i have to Shift-restore the custom firmware in itunes,
Now, my question is, Can you add a function to the next version of quickpwn, that allows you to completely skip the creation of a new firmware, and use a previously created Custom.ipsw? I know it would make my life easier.
Thanks guys, Keep up the good work!!

You don't have to restore your custom FW thru Quickpwn only. If you restoring a custom FW that has been built to a Pwned iPhone, just do it through iTunes by pressing alt+restore and then choose your custom FW when asked by iTunes.

Ok so i have come into an issue and have a solution but not the one i would like. When using pwnage tool to update to the new 2.2 firmware i get the 1600 or 1601 error. This is the case for both mac and pc, my mac has the latest version of itunes so i decided to install itunes 7.7 on my pc attempting to exploit any safegaurds with the newer itunes. This idea went down in flames with the same error. i attempted swapping files and other various pointless things that were a great way to waste my time. In the end i just updated through itunes with the actual software. this will eliminate any chance of a soft unlock, but im not concerned.
My question is how do i fix this problem for future use and what is causing this problem.

If you want to unlock the phone (somewhen), then download 2.2 from iTunes but don't update, use Pwnage to create custom IPSW file, and update your phone with this file. If you want to jailbreak only, then just update to 2.2 in iTunes, and then use QuickPwn

So, to be clear. Those of us who are late comers with new iPhones AND have ALREADY updated to 2.2, before using PWNage tool are SOL(that's Shit Out of Luck for multi-lingual folks) for soft unlock AND for using current universal SIM. Is that correct?

At this point in time, YES. However, knowing this cat and mouse game of iPhone unlocking, SIM proxy makers (TurboSIM, YesSIM, etc.) will probably come out with a solution so that you can use a SIM proxy with 2.2. its just a matter of time.

YES, unfortunately you are "SOL" until one of the SIM proxy makers come out with a way to unlock 2.2 using a SIM proxy. SIM proxies DO NOT work with the new baseband (02.28.00) at this point in time.

I remember having to back up and restore my iphone, but i don't want to go ahead and do it until i feel confident.
Hey MuscleNerd - chicken out and when back to the retailer where i got the phone from. figure i could sort it out before i leave. he unlocked the phone for 50 bucks, donwloaded the same applications. if you need a list i can pass that on. Now that it is unlocked or jailbroken, can you tell me which is which. The version is 2.2 (5G77) and the Modem Firmware is 02.28.00. Model is MB496T

The MB496T is one of the true unlocked ones from Italy or Turkey, according to:
That is good news, so with the version and modem firmware could you tell me how i could download applications without the same thin happening like the last time, i.e. doing it through installer and then it locked up on me. What was that then, a virus?

So if my iPhone 2G was previously unlocked and jailbroken and I updated to ipsw 2.1 with PwnageTool 2.1, is this post simply saying just use Quickpwn this time to update to 2.2 ipsw or should I continue to use PwnageTool 2.2.1 as I have in the past to update my phone?
Tim

Hi,
OK Hands up - I can't seem to follow instructions!
Updated I tunes, updated phone to 2.2 (I have no problem with provider so baseband not an issue). Followed all instructions using quickpwn 2.2 (nice looking tool!) got to the last bit when it said wait for the phone to re-boot, waited for about half an hour listening to occasional buzz, in my infinite wisdom (stupidity?) decided something must be wrong, killed processes off restored phone using itunes to 2.2, tried again.
Unfortunately every time I now try again I get to the USB/Itunes screen on the I phone (waiting for phone step one on the quickpwn tool) and it just sits there. Then I have to restore 2.2 back from itunes and re-activate.
OS: WIndows Vista 64 (tried running it in XP compatability mode too!) Itunes - up to date iPhone 3g (2.2) never been jail broken before.
Any ideas? I have an old MacG4 I could try or I could try to boot up into XP or Vista (just need to find those old HDD's) But if I do this will it affect the sync with itunes on my original Vista 64?
Cheers

Somebody knows why Cydia doesn't open after upgrade to iPhone v. 2.2. It's an iPhone1 (2G) upgraded (from v.2.1) with PwnageTool_2.2.1 & iTunes 8.0.2 (Cydia shows but doesn't open). I tried QuickPwn_2.2 with same results Cydia shows but doesn't open. Thanks & regards, Puchito

I solved problem my self. Apparently I did a mistake: At the PwnageTool in the steg Cydia Settings i added Cydia. As it's going automatically in next step it has to be a crash. Then when I used QuickPwn_2.2 to repair it apparently QuickPwn took the wrong iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw. SOLUTION: I started the upgrade from the begining with PwnageTool_2.2.1 & iTunes 8.0.2... Now both iPhone and Cydia work fine!

You guys do awesome work! QuickPwn has made life on a US T-Mobile iPhone easy and conveniant.
I have one request though. I used to use a workaround to put in my own logo's buy replacing the ones in the "\Temp\7ZipSfx.???\" directory with ones I made. I have always wished that QuickPwn would allow you to choose your own. However, now it seems that workaround no longer works. Is there a way? I like the PwnApple logo just fine but I like mine better. ;)

The DFU timing in Pwnage Tool is horrible. I was able to jailbrake my iPhone 3G, but I think it was almost a miracle I was to sift through the confusion of it all. What I mean is that iTunes tries lunch at the same time that the Pwnage Tool is attempting to put the iPhone in DFU mode. It gets very chaotic and scary. What I did is ignore the PT and just concentrate on iTune doing its part. Anyways, all is working fine, phone, wifi, and of course cydia.

PwnageTool's DFU exploit step should be run without iTunes running.

Well, it (at least on my machine) launches itself.

I think that's configurable via iTunes itself. Also if you manually kill iTunesHelper it should prevent the auto-run.

Create and then use a new ipsw, but this time answer the "Do you have a contract" question opposite how you answered it before. Or if you're in "Advanced mode", uncheck the "Activate" option under the General settings.

Please read this as a comment only :-)
Isn't this a fraud? When I was upgrading to the new 2.2 firmware my iTunes informed me that I may restore previous state of my iPhone if something goes wrong.
But this is simply a lie. A very strict legal category. A part of it cannot be downgraded, restored, the baseband. Can Apple actually do something like that? I do not care about their warrantee. But can they make such a desperate move to openly lie and go on without any consequence?

Question: as far as I have learned from the discussions here, the firmware does its job fully separated from the baseband... so theoretically every firmware works with any baseband that is witten for this device generation?
That is why one may have a 1.45 baseband or whatever and still use a custom firmware 2.2 without any missing functions?!
And it is why a turbo sim will still still work as long as you don't update the baseband !?!!
Abdul_Hassan
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
Yep pretty much.
There were only a few times where a basic feature of the main firmware was somehow tied to the baseband. One of the more recent ones was when Google's "locate me" feature was added to Maps.app. That feature required the newest baseband at the time to work...older basebands would just result in a constantly spinning locate me button.

Am i the only one that believes excluding everyone that has upgraded to or bought their iPhone 3g to the 2.2 firmware cuts out 90% of the potential users of the software unlock?
It seams to me that a lot of people have upgraded either unintentionally or have bought their phone with this update already on. Yeah i know, i am one of those people (/faceplam) but reading the comments on this page it seems to me i am far from alone, infact it it looks like we are the majority.
Whats the dev teams view on this? Is the new firmware a brand new challange i.e starting from scratch with the process of hacking?

2.2's baseband is a brand new challenge. It's not necessarily unbreakable -- that's still TBD.

Question: I have updated an ipod 1G 16GB from a working jailbreak-ed 2.1 directly to a jailbreaked 2.2 'using PwnageTool 2.2.1 . There was an error while upgrading the firmware via latest itunes and now my ipod does not allow any more update. It starts always in recovery mode and even in DFU it finish with error 14 (itunes 8.0.2) or error 6 (itunes 8). I tried on a MAC, on a PC, changing USB cable, trying to download firmware official 1.1.2, 2.1, 2.2.. But nothing worked.
ANY IDEA?

do you have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed? if not, try first installing the 2.5 one and then check QuickPwn again. It should work.

Thanks for all your jobs, Dev Team. They works very well.
But I'm in trouble. I've downloaded the new 2.2 firmware via iTunes. I've installed it on my iPhone 2G bought in Miami on 7 March, 2008. After the installation, I have Pwned iPhone with your QuickPwn for Windows. After that, iPhone works well and recognises the sim, but there is no signal. I can't make calls or send sms or receive calls. I have a telephone that doesn't work as a telephone. I tried and re-tried to install the firmware and do the Pwnage, but it still doesn't receive signal.
Do you have any tip for me?
Thanks

I have a problem and I'm not sure if I'm in the right place. I have a jailbroken Iphone with 2.1 firmware, which will not allow me to access my 3G network. It works fine with any wifi network, I've tried everything that the support guys at virgin have suggested, they said that my last option is to upgrade to 2.2 (which I'm trying to avoid at the moment). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
MuscleNerd
· 1 year ago
If you do that, you definitely won't be able to eventually use a soft unlock.
ToddJG
· 1 year ago
If you are using a SIM proxy, you cannot upgrade to 2.2 right now - period. If Virgin is an official iPhone carrier, then use PwnageTool and create your ipsw there with no baseband update and RESTORE from it using iTunes. Let it officially activate through your carrier. Again - only do this if you are not using a SIM proxy.

I just bought the 3g iPhone (1 hour ago) it's at version 2.1. The baseband is 2.11.07. I want to jailbreak the phone but I DON'T want go to version 2.2 with its new baseband. I want to stay at 2.1. Can I download the 1.2 ipsw somewhere? Or will PwnageTool 2.2.1 make a backup of this phones version (2.1) so I can use it 's again?
kaj1
· 1 year ago
Well, with clammy hands and trembling fingers I PwnageTool(ed) my new 2 hour old 3g iPhone. WITH GREAT SUCCESS. I stayed at version 2.1 with the baseband still at 2.11.07. This is sweet stuff and everything seems to work just fine. I think I will keep the phone version right here until the DevTeam gets the 2.2 Baseband stuff workin. Thanks a bunch guys.
ToddJG
· 1 year ago
You need to read some guides. Check out iclarified or thebigboss.org. You will find what you need. I did the exact procedure as well. You don't need 2.1 ipsw. PwnageTool (NOT QuickPwn) uses the 2.2 and simply does not do the baseband update - leaves the current one on the device.

It sounds like you are not connected to any network. That is what Cydia does if you are "offline". Can you make and receive calls? Can you browse the Internet?

So, is a way for a Windows user to upgrade to 2.2 while retaining the 2.1 baseband going to be developed (soon?), or do I just have to put up with Safari crashing constantly? My understanding is that there is currently no way for me to do it except on a Mac.

Hi Dear Developers,
I'm just totally new to this, I got my iPhone and really extremely depressed from it, it's locked to our network here (MoBinil, Egypt) that's if you know about Egypt :). Moreover the GPS is disabled :(. Once I have plugged it with iTunes I have updated to 2.2 :( (I was dummy enough I didn't read anything about the hassle of PWN...etc) So now can you tell me if there's any chance to have this one unlocked, and have the GPS enabled again.

Very possibly you chose the 'activate' option when, in fact, you don't need to as I believe O2 is the official carrier in Ireland.

I had my 16 gig Iphone and I had it jailbroken and when I updated it to the new 2.2 version i was only able to view the scree with a USB cable and ITUNES CD AND can mae emergency call call which flashes in different language . please help me fix or restor
from there if you can't let it finish by coming back to that screen i don't how to proceed but re jailbreak and WAIT till it has fully finished all installations
They will take your money but will never send you anything, most likely because they have lied and do NOT have a working solution for V2.2 I
live in the UK and purchased it on 27/11/08 - as soon as it came out. As the company is based in the UK I should have been the first to recieve it - but its now 03/12/08 and have not recieved anything!!!
They will not reply to your e-mails and whenever you call the support team your call just get forwared to a voicemail. I advise nobody to purchase through this website and if you have already try and get a refund through paypal or your credit card company!
Also take a look at this link: http://www.hi-tech-it.com/gadgets/httpwwwany-ne...
I just want to clarify- do i just use the PwnageTool_2.2.1.dmg, i.e. open it and follow the instructions? Thanks in advance for your help, Cheers
As for Installer, I wouldn't use it as its still buggy. It froze me 2G when I updated Installer. Use Cydia instead. There are much more software available on Cydia and its way more stable.
i think i once heard you guys said that any baseband in the firmware will be flashed if the baseband in the iphone appeared to be corrupted.
I think this is the only solution to those(not including me:D ) "accidentally" update their baseband to 2.28.00 since you guys said there is no exploitable hole now.
well, how do you think?
*sent from the apple store =)
congratz guys
ever in bangalore or even in india i would love to buy u guys a beer
CHEERS
Both OSX versions downloaded and i'll leave Seeding at max upload speed!

You guys are awesome!
Thanks dev-team
then i updated via itunes to 2.1 and was still unlocked then i jailbroke the phone via quickpwn
so here i am with an unlocked 2.1 wanting to go to 2.2 unlocked and then jailbreak
Warning: my phone will not work if its not unlocked so this is the most important thing jailbreak second
if you have an iphone 3G and you upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 via itunes, and your "about" menu says "modem firmware: 02.11.07"?
a) you are screwed because of the baseband upgrade on 2.1
b) your iphone is still able to run the unlock whenever it is released
thanks in advance guys!!
and keep going iphone dev team!!!
Ha!
I never got that before. It seems obvious now...

Thanks in advance!
p.s. since a ipsw is basically a glorified .zip file, can you say which files in it are responsible for the baseband upgrade? I want to be REALLY sure I won't be upgrading my 01.45 iphone 3g baseband.
waiting for 3g soft unlock

You never cease to amaze me with the speed of your 'cat and mouse' updates to keep us users free from control by Big Brother. If I wore a hat I would take it off in respect :-)
I wonder if you could kindly tell us if this Jailbrake Pwnage Tool Update will allow those of us with locked 3G iPhones can continue using the 'TurboSim' which I know you guys hate and deplore, BUT unfortunately, in order not to have a permanent desk brick, some of us have to resort to this 'half way house' solution until the 3G baseband unlock is unveiled?
I know from the reports on this great blog that many have been unable to continue using their TurboSims because of Big Brother's 2.2 Update (I otherwise refer to as 'Lockout'), so will the Pwnage tool help solve this issue?

Get an error using Pwnage Tool - whenever building a custom firmware on the Mac - it asks for user/pass for admin and then just errors - saying it has failed.
I have tried 3 or 4 times and still doesnt work ?
Just letting you guys no!
Just the damn annoying "haz fail"-message, remove that stupid shit!
something wrong with the pwnagetool
the first and second fails i got were when i used expert mode.
is each .ipsw unique? if not why doesn't devteam just put out a patched .ipsw and skip the whole bundle building process all together? c
ide realy appreaciate if somerone could answer me
I'm having a problem when using PwnageTool in a 2.1 3G iPhone (with proxy Sim): the firmware bundle it "detects" by itself is iPhone1,2_2.1_5F135, instead of iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77 as described below.

I'm currently on a 3g jailbreak iphone using 2.1 firmware.
thanks dev team
one question if i have a locked iphone 3g to at&t and im using turbosim to work on 2.1
if i made a custom ipsw with the old baseband
should it work or not thx
you guys rule!
so just to repeat you were asked in itunes if you want the 2.2 update said yes and it did its thing when you finish the cydia and installer are gone but you are 100% unlocked
I used quickpwn for windows to upgrade to 2.1. The unlck for 2..0.2 was kept.
Please help people, im using a windows machine. Should i upgrade to 2.2 through itunes, will it keep my iphone activated. if not will quickpwn unlock and activate it again.
Thanks
10x DevTeam
Thanks.
Will quickpwn for windows re activate it fo me.
Thanks
Can some make a package for us "non macers"?
Ruben
Also, where can I obtain the custom 2.2 firmware?
hit the update button from itunes ? or wait for the mac users to upload a custom firmware for iphone 2g ?
i could use a hand.pls :D
"hacktivation" and "activation" are mutually exclusive. Only one will work, depending on whether you can normally activate through iTunes or not.
Anyony else getting it?
which is the correct firmware to use?
i used iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw - is that right??
what will you gain from 2.2 wait for a week or 2 maybe a month
not big of a deal
what i understand is that if you wanna update to 2.2 wait for some mac user to pwnage 2.2 and remove baseband in custom ipsw otherwise if you update your screwed
people chill out read step 1 million times
correct me if i am wrong

Great job! Just want to thank you all for your dedication and hardwork! V.Cool guys.
I've read all the comments - and still have some questions.
I've got an iPhone 3G - which I QuickPwned on my MacBook. I have iTunes 8.02 installed. The iPhone 3G has a modem FW of 02.11.07. The phone itself has no hardware modifications. I'm getting round the SIM Lock using a YesSIM - similar to TurboSIM. (I know you guys don't recommend them - these SIM hacks! I'm hoping that with your pending SIM unlock I can bin the YesSIM)
I've read your blog post and I know for 2.2 I need to use your PwnageTool to create a custom 2.2 .ipsw file preserving the existing 2.1 baseband. But here's where I get confused:
a) Do you think the baseband in my iPhone 3G will be eligible for the software SIM unlock ?
Thanks guys! And once again really appreciate your efforts and hardwork!
Thanks from all the way from the UK.
In the meantime, you'll be fine in your current setup if you keep the baseband where it is.
Most appreciated guys! Big Thumbs up to you!
And it smells good!
Then I used QuickPwn to jailbreak it. Creating files went fine, moving files as well and updating on the screen, but then it had to restart, and my trouble started.
It have now been trying to restart for 20+ minutes and just has the Apple logo and nothing happens.
What to do?
Ideas very welcome...
After 30 minutes of "Apple logo screen" and serious nailbiting, the phone suddenly showed the login screen.
I guess updating for me has to be a nervewrecking session pretty much every time.
Anyways, thanks, and keep up the good work!
I did not tried it yet, i hope it works....but you did it in a quite little time...
Thanks from Brazil!!!!!
its baseband is 2.2
would my iphone then be eligible for the sim unlock?
NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool foriPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the “General” window and change two things: Deselect “activate” ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool leave it selected, you will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).
And do I understand correctly that the way to upgrade an already jailbroken 2.1 phone to 2.2 is by letting it apply the update to 2.2 in iTunes first (thus UNjailbreaking my phone), then running QuickPWN to RE-jailbreak my phone in 2.2? Will it keep my old 3rd party apps and settings or do they have to be re-installed? (And yes, I'm fine with the baseband update--I'm not leaving my carrier)
Just curious though, I have an iPod Touch 2G and (no no no don't stop reading I'm not going to rant!) since they both have the same operating system, does this mean that you can modify the unlocking program so that it works for the Touch too (if it's even available XD I can't even tell lol)?
Well, no hurry; I don't use my iPod that often so it doesn't affect me much. :D
Keep up the good work Dev-squad. ^^

If you chose in Quickpwn 2.2, for example 2.2 FW, and your iPhone still got the 2.1. This message will appear:
The IPSW file you selected (iPhone 1,2_2.1) does not match the firmware version of your device (iPhone 1,2_2.2). Please note that QuickPwn does not upgrade your firmware you currently have on your device
Shouldn't it be vice versa. Anyway, just thought to inform you.
Amazing Work by the way, Goooo Dev Team, I admire your strength, and your fighting spirit.
By the way, I think the baseband update was done by Apple, especially because of your hard work, in unlocking the old version

I downloaded the Windows QuickPwn and tried to jailbreak my first generation iPhone on 2.2. I restored it to 2.2, and went through the QuickPwn process, but when I have to put it in DFU mode, QuickPwn just says "Preparing your device - Please follow the instructions above", and goes no further. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I've tried numerous times and they've failed each time. Thank you for your time.

I have tried the 2.2 pwnage for windows 4 or 5 times and failed each time. I had to do 4 or 5 restores and I crapped my pants on the last one because I got a "iphone can't be restored. unknown error" message. I fixed that, but what gives? When I run pwnage, I don't see the black iPhone logo in the pwnage window. When I get to the "hold power for 5 seconds" step, none of the directions are highlighted. I have the latest iTunes.
Could it be something as simple as switching USB ports? That has helped me before.
to go from a stock, locked (at&t) iphone 3g 2.1 -> jailbroken (preserve baseband) iphone 3g 2.2
i can update itunes to the latest version
i simply use PwnageTool_2.2.dmg and follow the "intuitive graphics" to create an .ipsw, except switch in expert mode as described in the "note:"
i'm lucky that my macbook is early 2008 not late 2008
and that's it, did i get it right? thanks!
keep working at the sim unlock and if possible also with the windows version.
Thx Thx Thx.
Im waiting to the win vers. to update.
Kamui
I've tried several different ones and am now downloading a different .dmg of the pwnagetool
Any ideas ?
What's going on?
In Pwnage Tool, rather than the apps searching for an IPSW by default, it would be handy if I could choose to browse OR search. I have a great deal of disk space 2+TB and the search takes forever. Search always finds the IPSW, but it would be quicker if I could just browse and tell the app where it's at.
thank you guys, saved my life and my pocket :D
keep up the good work, you did an do best ;)

xxx <3 Dev Team!
1. That was fast
2. Hurry up with the 2G touch jailbreak
3. There seem to be A LOT of problems with jailbreaking after reading the comments
4. I guess lots of people are going to want the iPhone unlock for the Christmas holidays as that's when people will be traveling a bit. (not me as i have a touch which still needs a jailbreak!)
Still dissapointed that your not able to hakzor the touch.......
I ran into some problems when upgrading. The pwnage tool says that I needed to put phone in DFU mode and then connect and select my new ispw and it would work. Doing it this way kept giving me a 1600 error. So I tried a previous version of iTunes but it still didn't work. What finally worked was, I kicked it out of recovery mode and went back into iTunes and just skipped the DFU mode and directly option clicked on the restore button and selected my new ispw and bingo. It worked. Fabulous. Now I am on 2.2
What's weird is, everything worked fine but then I messed up my sys files and had to restore. Since then (and itunes update), impossible to restore anything but the official version (1600 error).
I don't have a ATT sim card, and if I borrow one I still have to go though the activation process.
How to you restore without going through DFU?
What worries me is that it worked fine at first. I don't get it.
In fact whatever firmware i Restore back to i always get the 1600 error.
So the question is do i need to get it into DFU mode? because when using the pwnage tool to get it into DFU mode it doesn't seem to make a difference...
any suggestions anyone? :(
I just created the new Firnware Version 2.2 using PwnageTool. I own a iPhone 2G with Firmware 2.1 and other Provider than T-Mobile. Everything was running quickly and very well. But only if i only check on Cydia for my new Firmware. When i click on Cydia and ->Installer<- creating the new Firmware is failing for some reason. Anyway... i always use only Cydia because i have more trouble with 3rd Party Software when Installer is on my iPhone too and therefore i'm very very happy now!
Thanky you so much Guys!!
Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.
... but this no worky for me. QuickPwn says:
We'll now search for the firmware bundles. If QuickPwn cannot find the correct file, we'll try to download them automatically.
I look in ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
... and find: iPod1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw
QuickPwn eventually times out and says:
We can't fond the iPod Touch firmware bundle! Please buy this from iTunes and restart QuickPwn.
At this pont I am totally lost.
great work dev team!
i have a sp/factory unlocked iphone 3g .. i can use any sim on it.. but i first need to jailbreak it to activate ```otherwise itunes tells me it cannot be activated... what can i do ?\
thanks
But when I used pwnage to upgrade to 2.2
shows no service!!!
anyone has the same problem?
I think the only difference this time is you need to use the Expert mode, General settings to adjust the Root partition size to 1000Mb. (Can't everyone just hacktivate and not worry?)
Oh, just remembered I use the 5 icon dock that caused hanging with the last update - guess that will have to be uninstalled first. Think I will wait till morning and read it all again.
used quickpwn for the first time now im stuck on apple logo :(
help i might have no choice but to update to 2.2 with a restore
Its you're, not your. He doesn't own stupid.
Also, stop being such a baby, that is ridiculous. They do this stuff for free, and have no responsibility to you, me, anyone else. Just be grateful for once in your miserable life.
There r many windows users out there... just stay calm, ur not alone...
else use mac... Ur already a half mac.

What are the steps for me to put 2.2 on it?
The same way I put 2.1 on or do I have to do something different now?
I read that I can just upgrade in iTunes... is it that simple?
YOU DONT HAVE TO RUN PWNAGETOOLS IN 2G IPHONES!!!!!!!!
Bye!
Now one two part question.
QuickPwn 2.2 Windows = Unlock and/or Jailbreak
QuickPwn 2.2 Mac = Unlock and/or Jailbreak as well? Or Just Jailbreak?
QuickPwn 2.2 for Mac - Jailbreak iPhone/iPhone3G/iPod Touch.
Actually, upgrading to 2.2 a iPhone 2G unlocked (SFR network).
And of course, seeding for leechers !!!
-Still have a recurrent error when searching the firmware on my HD with QuickPwn 2.1 and 2.2 : always need to redownload the .ipsw.
May be shoulde use a special folder location ?

UNless a custom ISPW is available with 2.1s baseband i have no choice but to update through iTunes
Now i have to keep paying AT&T home wrecking prices :(
HELP
someone please post a link im bricked and cant stay that long!!!
what do i do?
am i supposed to download firmware 2.2 and then select that?
and if i am supposed to download 2.2 how do i do so without updating my phone?
thanks a lot for your help,
and great job.
?
Is this the right procedure?:
(backup already created of my first gen iPhone and 2.2 firmware downloaded)
Restore 3G iPhone to 2.2 (shift + click restore in iTunes)
jailbreak with quickpwn for windows
Install all my stuff from Cydia, and then it'll be ready to go for when I get my SIM card on Tuesday..
Also, someone said there is no wifi toggle in 2.2, did Apple remove this feature?..
Thanks :-)
Just so I'm clear. I've already downloaded the 2.2 update via iTunes.
Do I update choose update via iTunes, then perform a backup. Then launch Pwnage 2.2 and create the custom IPSW file and go through the same steps I did before?
Sorry for the lame question, I just don't want to screw my iPhone up. Thx
iPhone 2g (1st gen)
Used Pwnagetool to make a custom 2.2.
- Used Expert mode, Failed a couple times but finally worked when i changed some options
- Unchecked activate - since i use AT&T
- Changed the partition to 1047MB (first mark on the line)
- Unchecked Nooter - im on at&t, don't need unlock.
- Set my custom logo.
Was unable to restore with the phone in DFU - kept getting error 1600. I'm using a 20in iMac with OSX 10.5.5 and itunes 8.0.1 (12)
So I left the iphone connected and turned on like normal, option-Restore to select the custom firmware. (is that status bar on the iphone during restore new? I don't remember it in the past)
It restored just fine, No errors, has my custom logo and all.
Activation was successful.
Cydia works fine. (have not tried installer as I don't use it much)
Used Cydia to install a few apps before I restore my old data- 5 icon dock, SSH, Aptbackup, sbsettings.
Then restored my most recent backup.
Looked like everything came back except the stuff i had installed from cydia.
Tried to use aptbackup to restore those , but it tells me that I never had done an aptbackup - It lies, I used aptbackup just before my last sync/backup.. so not sure what's up with that but i can reinstall what i want from cydia manually.
WooT for JB 2.2 :-)
Thanks Dev-Team, BB, and anyone else who helped along the way. Props from Washington State!
Any thoughts on what I can try next?
Fight the good fight,
DEV-TEAM you are great！！！
I would like to try and jailbreak my iPhone 3G. It is currently at 2.2 with modem fw 2.28.00. I am using windows, but it is a hackintosh so I can also access a mac but my iPhone is sync'd with windows. I don't need to change carrier or anything as I have it on AT&T "legally." My goal is to simply upgrade to 2.2 using just windows if possible. But it seems 3G users should "shy away" from using QuickPwn. Could anyone help me find the best way to jailbreak?
I have an iPhone 3G *jailbroken* with firmware 2.1. It's been running pretty darn well and I'd hate to piss it all up with 2.2 but I'd really like to try the new firmware. My main concern is losing PdaNet which I use on a regular basis (and the main reason I jailbroke in the first place.) How can I safely update to 2.2 and retain my cydia applications and what not? I could care less about the baseband thing - I'm on AT&T and not going anywhere else. No worries about some soft unlock for carrier in the future, at least not with me. So what's the process I need to take here? Do I just hook it up and update to the stock 2.2 via iTunes, then hit it with PwnageTool? I have both Mac and Windows machines available. I have been syncing with a Vista box but am looking to switch to syncing with my shiny new MacBook anyway; However, I hear the new MacBook doesn't recognize DFU mode (chee, Apple, how sly) so I suppose I need to do the update/jailbreak/etc on a Vista box first?
Procedure was as follows:
-updated previously jailbroken iphone 3g ver. 2.1 --> 2.2 via itunes.
-pwange tool'd in expert mode via instructed settings the 2.2 update.
-jailbroke 2.2 via pwange.
-restored iphone with pre-2.2 update backup (the one stored in itunes)
-reinstalled cydia apps.
A few reasons I updated early even though the dev team said not to:
1) I'm impatient.
2) I'm with AT&T and don't plan on needing a soft unlock.
3) I have great faith that the dev team will be all over continuing their amazing work and will be able to fix the majority if not all of my screw-ups in the future.
So the moral of my story is, upgrade if you'd like because it's possible to jailbreak 2.2. But as the dev team says, if you're at all interested in the soft unlock or are just a bit concerned about upgrading that baseband then wait. I was satisfied with 2.1 and honestly, 2.2 isn't anything crazy!
Kudos to the dev team for their hard work. I'm behind you 100%.
:)
Is this supposed to happen where if I use the 2.1 baseband on 2.2 I cant get any service, or did I just brick my phone??!?!?!
Thx for the fast reply, MuscleNerd ;-)
The IPSW would be for an iPhone 3G w/ AT&T service, Cydia, no custom boot logos, and no Installer beta.
What did I do wrong???
I had a problem with my apps, only the directly downloaded from the appstore sync'd not the other ones, Itunes says "The application cannot be verified" or something like that and I lost my critical tool GPS Kit.
Or perhaps pwnage tool can be set to make sure they are not hidden? I don't know. My fault. Thanks for the great work!
Is this the right procedure?:
(backup already created of my first gen iPhone and 2.2 firmware downloaded)
Restore 3G iPhone to 2.2 (shift + click restore in iTunes)
jailbreak with quickpwn for windows
Install all my stuff from Cydia, and then it'll be ready to go for when I get my SIM card on Tuesday..
Also, someone said there is no wifi toggle in 2.2, did Apple remove this feature?..

Incompatible with 2.2??
AWESOME!
Thank for this DEV Team
I have a problem with my 3g Iphone
1- Orginally unlocked with GPS
2- I live in egypt where GPS are panned with the 3g Iphone and don't ask me why because it is selly and everybody has GPS devices in thier cars.
3- Shipped orginally with 2.0.1 and GPS was working fine.
4- Updeted to 2.1 Lost GPS
5- Dowengraded by QUIKPWN TO 2.0.2 GPS WORKS AGAIN but has a problem with my car Uconnect bluetooth devise
6- updated to 2.1 using quikpwn agin work fine for the bluetooth but no GPS again
7- waited for long for 2.2 and then updated using Itune with no Luck with my GPS
8- is there any way to make my GPS working back again, it is not phone fault I am sure, it is rather that apple made something through itune that lock the device in egypt and I don't know what, or how it was working on 2.01an 2.0.2 need some help here I have been reading onlone for ages and I can't restore my GPS, please read this too from apple site http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2432
First: THANK YOU! If I'm having some issues with my current Jailbroken 3g (i.e., apps opening slowly, etc.) would it be better to do a "new" setup or is it safe to let iTunes do the upgrade and restore from backup? Obviously this is before I Quickpwn, because I would like to use aptBackup which uses the iTunes backup system.
Second: For everyone asking about losing Cydia Apps. If you do restore from a backup, BEFORE you update, install aptBackup from Cydia. It won't restore all of your settings, but at least it will be a one swipe install of all of your Cydia Apps.
Is this to be expected from firmware 2.2?
As always, DevTeam: you guys are my heroes!
Just dont want to lose the unlock.
can you please post a link for all us windows users to an iPhone 3G custom ISPW with the previos baseband please!!!!!
works great!
I would very much like to just go from 2.1 to 2.2 without restoring.
Question for you: I'm on Windows Vista and I've run Quickpwn on my previously jailbroken 3G after upgrading to 2.2 in iTunes. Quickpwn ran through just fine but I've got no Cydia, Installer, or SSH.
Any ideas?
I understand the iTunes 2.2 and the QuickPWN to re-jailbreak it but for ipa's will we need a new mobileinstall (i.e.Mobileinstall 2.2)? Also, I see someone else has asked about the restoring from previous backup on iTunes. I have also used that before but are you saying that because this is a hacked 2.2 that restoring from the 2.1 files wouldn't work properly? I would hate to loose all of my game saves and have to redo every setting but if that is the only option I understand.
Sorry for another question musclenerd, I see you have been doing a lot of work answering all of these questions so far.
Thanks again for all of your guys' hard work. I really appreciate it!
Download aptbackup and click backup
Go into iTunes and backup iPhone
Restore iPhone 3G to 2.2 firmware
Quickpwn it (I have windows, not MAC)
Go into iTunes and restore settings
Download APTBackup and hit 'restore'
Stick my Vodafone SIM card in it when I get it (probably Tuesday) and it's ready to go..
Is this right? Do I need the SIM card to activate it or anything? (PS it's locked to Vodafone)
Thanks! :-)
will i be fucked...
man
For this one do I just restore it to 2.2 in iTunes, then quickpwn it? Will this unlock and jailbreak it?..
Thanks :-)
Are you guys looking into iTunes and why it does not accept the iPod/iPhone when it is in DFU Mode?
P.S. This is me, http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread..... (Thread starter).
Thanks
if this helps someone in the same situation as me, going from a stock week old 3g (at&t) iphone with 2.1 to jailbroken 2.2 i dloaded the iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw from the apple link posted below, ran PwnageTool_2.2.dmg in expert mode setting 1000MB partition and unchecking "activate". all fine and dandy. don't forget to option-restore in itunes to choose the custom .ipsw created by PwnageTool, and voila!
I did the restoration fine.
Then I messed up with my files by accessing the iphone with FTP.
I accidentally deleted files of the system.
Around the same time, I did the update of itunes to the lates 8.0.2
Since then, I can only do a restauration with the official update, not the cracked one.
Every time I go DFU mode, iTunes does recognize the iPhone, but if I try to restore a modified system, it says "Error 1600" (just after file extraction). If I restore the officiel, it works, so I did't think it could be related to missing DFU files, could it?
Could it be itunes 8.0.2 that block the process?
I tried many times, even re-creating the file with PwnageTool. Doesn't Work.
So now I'm stuck with a locked and jailed iphone.
unlocking with quickpwn eventually worked. I have no idea how or why. I did the exact same process at least 3 times before and I still got and error. By the way, I did get an itunes error this time too, but somehow quickpwn launched the process anyway. Go figure.
This allowed my to restore new firmware without going through FDU.
But it's scary! I hope I won't have to use FDU any time soon!
Very frustrating, especially since the last several versions had gone so smoothly.
I'll go for MuscleNerd's suggestion of waiting 1/2 an hour, but I'm not hopeful.
1) Tried Upgrade and Restore under iTunes 8.0.1 and 8.0.2
2) Re-downloaded QuickPwn via the torrent vs. the mirror - byte-for-byte the same .exe
3) Currently trying the "wait for 1/2 an hour of reboots and maybe it'll magically stop rebooting" trick
Next up:
Since the PwnageTool instructions ask for a 1000MB root partition to fit both Installer and Cydia, and QuickPwn doesn't (afaik) mess with the partition table, leaving it at 500MB, after the next restore I'll try QuickPwn without icons and Installer.
So one of:
1) Don't try to jam both Installer and Cydia in there with QuickPwn or
2) Don't let iTunes do the settings restore before QuickPwning after a restore
cant wait until you guys find a 2g ipod touch jailbreak.
keep up the good work
please help! Thanx
1. older baseband but ability to unlock
2. newer baseband but no possibility of unlock
I agree that more info regarding baseband features would be nice... maybe it would tip the balance on which direction some of us go. I am sure that once dev-team has time they will investigate. I don't see them trading an unlock for a performance hit if the hit is really big. But then again, the need for an unlock may outweigh the baseband features.....
The dev team never said that if you upgrade to the newer baseband that you would have no possibility of unlock. They simply said that you wouldn't be able to unlock it in the near future, meaning a couple of months or so. In the distant future soft unlock will still be possible on the updated baseband iphone 3g, if not, then those people who buy the iphone 3g after today that will be shipped with 2.2 firmware would be screwed, basically pointless.
I asked MuscleNerd in the previous blog entry and this is his reply:
"But the baseband from 2.2 (baseband 02.28) closes up all the holes we know about that would have allowed a potential soft unlock or at least a downgrade. And they closed up the hole that the carrier simcards were using too."
So at this point, Dev Team IS telling us that 2.2 is a dead end for now. Will they find a new exploit? Maybe. But anyone that knows anything about hacking this stuff knows that there are no guarantees in finding an exploit.
Up until a month ago, the Dev Team was talking about a 3G unlock as "IF" not "When". 2.2 Firmware based unlock could take a year or more.
So yes, if your phone ships with 2.2 you are screwed as a brand new hole and exploit needs to be found.
SWEET!
Thanks Dev Team
if you guys do come out with a ipod touch 2g jailbreak will it be 2.1.1 software or 2.2 cuz i kinda wanna update to 2.2
help?
If you have, and your 1st Home page of the iPhone is full of icons, try 2nd page, and so on.. You should be able to find it if you have jailbroken it (with the option to install Cydia ticked of course)
I do have a couple of questions foe anyone who has done this and got it all working.
I have a 3G and I used quickPwn on 2.1 when I fiest got the iphone. Is this mean I wont be able to have a chance for the future unlock even if I use Pwnage tool to go to 2.2
Also what are the steps of doing this the right way, meaning do I download and upgrade to 2.2 via Itunes first and then use the Pwnage tool? And do I need to have iTunes 8.02?
Someone please post step by step instructions for those who are a bit slow.
Great work!
ps. let me know if this was wrong way to do it.
if so - that would be awesome
thanks soo much

2G iphone as in (non -3G)
I have a ATT sim card which I used before in 1.1.4 in iTunes to activate which always worked, now it seems to work. When I put back my T-Mobile sim card the phone complains about the SIM Card and locks up again. I can put back the ATT sim card, and load up iTunes and the phone unlocks and I can use it.
Any suggestions?
Mistake on my part was that before I ran the QuickPWN tool, I had activated my iPhone in iTunes using my T-Mobile SIM Card.
To solve my issue, I have restored my iPhone again from the downloaded file from iTunes, and before doing anything, while leaving my T-Mobile SIM Card in, I ran the QuickPWN tool which then 'hactivated' my iPhone. Now everything is working!
its maybe because i didnt download itunes 8.0.2
i have Windows Vista with a 2.1 unlocked/jailbroken iphone using t-mobile
from my understanding this is what i do
1.connect my phone
2.click UPDATE on itunes and let it updates to 2.2
3.open quickpwn and lost the 2.2 firmware and customize it
4.use the shift+Resore method on itunes and it should work?
i'm just afraid of the quickpwn... it has never worked for me
when i was updating to 2.1 i jsut found a custom firmware online and then used shift+restore on itunes and that was it.
AFTER UPDATE iTunes 2.2 can not use the phone coded TO ORANGE AND I use TURBOSIM WITH VODAFONE
THANK
please help
Go into Cydia->Sections->All packages and install BootNeuter. Launch it and turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock". Then tap "Flash". It'll ask you to reboot first, then you'll need to pick the same settings. Tap on "Flash" this time around too.
The iPhone will reboot and flash a new bootloader and baseband. Don't interrupt that process. After it finishes and reboots you should see your signal again.
If you try it again and BootNeuter freezes (it's not really meant to be used outside of PwnageTool and QuickPwn), then you have two options:
1) if you have a Windows box, remove BootNeuter via Cydia but then go run QuickPwn for Windows. It will give you the option to install BootNeuter, so check that box (lower right).
2) Otherwise, use PwnageTool for OS X. Create a custom ipsw in Expert mode. In the General menu, keep the "Activate" box checked and change the partition size to 1000. Build the ipsw then use iTunes to "restore" to it.
Thanks
Seeding now, to do what little I can to help.
Were that the misfits were as helpful as you...
Tambem sou de Portugal e tenho o iphone 3G jailbroken com o quickpwn e firm 2.1

Apparently, I restored using iTunes to 2.2, and then I ran quickpwn again. It's working!
Restore bugs me, I hate and takes ages, but solves most of this problems!
the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (2005)
now i am stuck in DFU mode, every time I attempt a restore it says Preparing iPhone for restore... for like 10 minutes when it finally gives up and gives me the above error.
then my phone appears to be off, and i turn it on, it goes directly to DFU mode.
any tips?
Thanks.
Windows: Press and Hold Shift, then click on restore, do the same as described above.
So my question is what does the baseband upgrade do as I see it being extremely useful in call quaility?
Secondly, luckily most of us had a mac to upgrade with pwnage tool, how do we do that in windows to surpass the baseband upgrade if we wanted?
In case I didn't say it yet, thank you to the entire dev team for doing this. It is insane you guys are willing to do such a great update, so quick, and so effective...all at no charge. You guys truly rock!
I really appreciate the hard work and long hours you've put in for the community
If the Pwnage Tool exists only for the Mac, and I only have access to a Windows machine, how can I upgarde to 2.2 WITHOUT altering my baseband (a.k.a Preserve Baseband ).
Thanks doesn't cover it...how about "...with a cherry on top" :)
I would realllllllllllllllllllllly like to know the answer to this. I have a custom firmware a friend of mine sent me and want to put it on my iphone. But I only have a windows machine.
Shift+Restore didn't work it never got passed the preparing your phone bit, kept getting errors. I think iTunes needs to be pwn'd or something. I even had my phone in DFU mode
I'm also on a pc and my friend created a custom ipsw for me.
How do I go about putting this on my phone?
I don't want to update the baseband.
Hopefully someone sees this and helps us poor windows users.
I'd like to ask you How to download only iPhoneOS 2.2 FW .ipsw without upgrading through iTunes?
Please help!
Had a 2.1 3G handset with offical carrier just want cydia and installer!! Quick and painless thank you very much!!!
The iPhone "untitled playlist" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1602).
Now the only thing I see on my iPhone is a picture of the USB cable pointing towards ITunes icon and it just reboots by itself to that same screen. I've already tried rebooting and it doesn't work.
What do I do? Please respond either on this forum or to madman59@hotmail.com.
Many thanks!

I read :
"The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine. "
part above, but wasn't sure of the direction to do so.
Do I have to go through the process of creating a custom firmware again or...what do I do?
Thanks.
i didn't do anything yet....
i will read all comment first.......just to see where others failed...where succeeded .
will comment again after done with upgrade and jailbreak.
most..and first: thanks Dev-Team ...you the greatest
what should i do?please please help me!
Did 1048 for partition size
I did included openssh in my firmware. (Should not matter??)
I used the Pwnage Tool on 2g iPhone from 2.1 to 2.2.
no issues with the latest nov 08 release macbook pro
Just wanna have some explanation : Iphone firmware 2.2 comes with a baseband update, we already know that it fix the hardware unlock but what we don't know is if it 'll harden the work of your software unlock and if it comes with more functionalities and improvements ?
can you provide us with some explanattion ?
thanks a lot.
Small issue.
Upon updating and running 2.2 and QuickPwn (Mac) there is no installer or Cydia and I can't SSH into the phone.
I've run QuickPwn twice.
My issue, was that before the update I had cydia and Installer "Poofed" by BossPrefs, and it seems that updating to 2.2 erased BossPrefs.
I know if I open Safari and type beejiveim://
then Beejive will open.
I have a 2G iphone with software v. 2.0(5A347) custom firmware running on FIDO. Software unlocked...
Do I seriously just upgrade to 2.2 with itunes and then use winpwn?
http://thebigboss.org/guides/how-to-upgrade-in-...
I'm having some issues though... creating my custom ipsw works fine, but as soon as I boot into DFU mode and try to option-click restore and select the custom firmware, I get a 1600 error code. After reverting back to the genuine Apple 2.1 update and trying to option-click restore without going into DFU mode, I get the same error. I have just tried to use the Pwnage tool and clicked "no" when asked if I had pwned my phone before, and after getting into DFU mode I got error code 21. I've put genuine 2.1 software back onto my iPhone but am not sure why it's not working?
Any ideas?
D
Thanks guys!
I simply switched my I phone back to normal mode... and then pressed the option key and told iTunes to restore my iPhone with the custom FW and...
it worked. After this, iTunes asked to configure as a new iPhone or to restore from backup - I choosed from a backup.
Now I am going to restore my apps from cydia AND: ONCE AGAIN: Thanks for your work!!!!!!
YOU ARE THE GREATEST
Any Workaround?
upgrade from JB 2.1 FW -> JB 2.2 FW
on a 3G iphone that activates automatically
using 1000MB partition and various cydia apps preloaded (one of them being sauriks 5 dock icon)
and my now my springboard only shows the basic iphone apps, no installer/cydia/terminal/etc...
bugs?
Now what?
Oh and when i restored , iTunes said i had to activate.
Shit, i guess i shoulda just left it alone in 2.1.
When I tryed just doing a regular restore with no pwn, it activated. and so I made a second ipsw and made sure to click "activate" in the pwn tool. but still no luck..
I am in Canada using a 'Roger iPhone' 3G with a Fido SIM...
:(
I wil try again tomorow morning, with a new custom restore.
10 000 Thanks devTeam :)
First I would say a big thanks to Dev Team. They are the best, no doubt. And we need to support them even if it's not financially. These guys rock!
The reason why we are all have the problem is because of the over zealous Apple team. these guyz make a killing on people and the would, if given a chance, monopolize the phone industry. but at least we have Dev Team.
my suggestion is this: We can force these as$ holes to reprice their pricey phones and free them to the public. We can do that by sealing the loop holes that make them benefit from locking these phones. We can bankrupt that silly apps store that milk cash from us by creating similar applications on Cydia or installer. I cant stand the apple guyz they truly get into my nerves.
Also we need to listen to the Dev Team. When they say DO NOT do xyz, please let us stick to that these guys wish us nothing but the best. I realized that a lot of people refused to listen to them.
Any suggestions on how to force apple to bankruptcy....?
As far a monopolizing the phone industry that's funny. Innovating yes, most definitely; monopolizing, watch any phone ad, they all try to be the iPhone.
Bankrupting Apple, not possible unless you get an accountant position a cook their books. Their market shares in everything is constantly growing and they are constantly creating new markets (see iPhone and iPod) and innovating the others.
If you don't like Apple don't buy their products...and don't buy Pixar films

2008-11-23 03:06:48 - Can't recognize .ipsw file.
But when we'll see software unlock for 3G?
Jailbreak: will work
sim proxy or potential soft unlock: won't work
so there is no way to downgrade the baseband ?
And when u say wont work, is that just for now or forever.
Will I be able to use it after using Quickpwn (Windows).
Does it also activates my iphone as well because I am using it outside the USA and on non approved operator.
i have one question: Apple updated the bootloader for the 3G, so what does that man? Do you have to hack the bootloader again, and all your work youve done the last months is useless (i mean the work on hacking baseband and try to unlock the 3g). Do we have to wait another 4 months or longer, till youve hacked the baseband again, or how should i understand that?
greetings from austria

I have a pwnagetool'd 3G 2.1 running perfectly. When Apple comes out with something new we all feel like we NEED to get it. Maybe instead of risking a bricked phone or invisible cydia, or future soft unlocks, maybe just wait a little longer for a better pwnage tool. Because for real is there anything in 2.2 that is that great?
I like my pdanet (tethering), 5 icon dock, and the best 3rd party app, the flashlight.
Thats all I need for now, good luck with everyone
/Users/username/Libary/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
is this bad if i want to use the software unlock in the future?
Everthing works fine. Now it is 2.2 and Basband still on 02.11.07.
Sim Adapter works an everthing else also.
Many thanks and regards go to the DveTeam
thanks
First af all Big Big Thx to Devteam excellent work ;)
So after that, i use pwnagetool for my 3G custom firware build well , restore good too , but after reboot iphone No Signal with SFR Carrier , So with other like Orange it's good i have signal , ...Any idea please ?
I have a few questions because I am new to the process of jailbreaking: When I jailbreak and later on, there is an update from apple - will all of my apps be gone, when I update? Will they continue to exist just like the Appstore apps do, when I update?
Are you working on the iPod Touch any time soon now?
Thanks again
but im a bit confused by some of the choices on offer.
I currently have a jailbroken 3g iphone running running 2.1 fw. i am looking to update to firmware 2.2 but am unsure what i should do. what are my choices or what do i need to do? do i update via itunes then run quickpwn or do i just run quickpwn. and what will this mean in the longterm in terms of unlocking? and what is a soft unlock (and therefore hard unlock)? please advise. thanks
So, if you don't care about this and are happy to stay on the official carrier, update to firmware 2.2 using iTunes and then QuickPwn to jailbreak.
If you do want the potential ability in the future to unlock the phone via software, use PwnageTool to create a custom firmware file, removing the baseband update, that you can then restore using iTunes.
Something I don´t understand: (WINDOWS/iPhone 3G with Carrier Lock and Simlock-Adapter)
You write: "do NOT use QuickPwn" but with which software should a
Windows User build the new .ipsw without the new Baseband.
Ist there now way for a Windows-User to build a right one or is the WinPwn2.5ß2 the right one 4 it ?
Thxs
thanks.
Muchos Gracias BTW, Great Work!
I got a problem pwning my 2G iPhone on a late 2008 MacBook :-/
Previously, it was a QuickPwned 2.1 (Win) working perfectly.
What I did:
- Restore to 2.2 in iTunes (8.0.2)
- Try QuickPwn -> got stuck where DFU Mode get's activated (of course...)
- Try PwnageTool -> Created Custom IPSW (increase Partition size, tried with and without Bootneuter (I guess I don't need it as my Phone still seems to be unlocked?)) -> Recovery Mode -> Restore to Custom FW -> Error 21
Does anyone have an Idea how to unbrick? I can still Restore to Original FW in iTunes, but whenever I wanna use Custom FW, I get Error 21 after a while...
No other machine available over here.. :-/
Is it an issue with Itunes 8.x?
Does a USB Hub really help with DFU mode?
Thanks for ANY help!
Stop blaming ppl for not reading the instructions before reading their posts properly please.
Thx.
- Restore to original 2.2 in iTunes
- visit a friend and bring a beer (but drink responsibly! ;-) )
- get hold of his pc, run Quickpwn (Win)
- done
is that your best time yet for the update ?
Thanks again for the hard work and dunno about if we can start own irc server ? if yes, then i can help :)
Baseband-less 2.2 Firmware-Version ?
If there´s a way, wich programm can we use ????
If Windows User aren´t able to build a right Firmware-File, perhaps
it´ll be useful to write it in the text above.
Thxs DEV-Team!
I'm baffled! I first restored my 1st gen iphone using itunes 8.0, then ran the quickpwn 22-1 on it, along with the unlock option at the beginning. Everything went great, but I swapped out my Vodaphone SIM and it said it was an unregistered SIM (something like that).
Did I miss something? I'm so close!
Any clues ?
=(
THE IPOD TOUCH DEMONSTRATION GROUP
That made my day: D
Maybe theres hope for a christmas present, or maybe a new years gift, hell maybe a valentines box of pwn :P
Its nice to know that the ipod will still be looked at. Although i think you guys should take a break. You've been working alot on the 3g unlock.
is there a way to get service with my sim??
dont we need it for windows..??? plz clear
Just some feedback. I'm using a 2G phone. Activated using PwnageTool 2.1 then updated to 2.2 using iTunes.
Somehow phone is still working without even using QuickPwn 2.2.
Is this a known side effect ?
Lloyd
By the way It seems you guys are realy good at what you do
Pierre
Never thought this release was coming so early, you ROCK!
Regards from Argentina,
Matias
They're still in sync progress but it seemed to work fine. THANX!
Maybe you should add a short how-to for recovery or DFU-Mode in that blog-entry too. Maybre someone's gonna read it...
Thanks in advance
Thank you so much!!!!!
Best regards from Romania
Did I miss something?>
Curt
Any ideas?
Its telling me
"DIFFERENT SIM DETECTED, please connect to itunes.", then it has me open itunes which then says "THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR OT BE SUPPORTED."
Help me! How do I get into the IRC channel as well?
Thank you guys,
Curt
Suggest you to try one of the follow: (a) try to clear the pin password from your SIM, in another phone set, or (b) try to repeat process in your iPhone with another, non-pin locked vodaphone SIM.
Just tryin around...
Any ideas what I can do?
Do you think I can restore again using itunes to remove the QuickPwn, then RE-QuickPwning with the Vodaphone SIM in it?
For iPhone 3G, if you want to retain your current baseband, you cannot use QuickPwn.
I'm bummed!
Any other problems, jump in the IRC channel and ask for help unlocking your iPhone 2G.
It worked!!! Anyone else having the same problem, you need to do two things..
1) Make sure you remove the lock from your sim card using another phone.
2) restore using DFU mode. I couldnt get it into the right mode until I watched this video: http://www.appstoreapps.com/2008/09/22/iphone-t... Then it finally went into restore mode without the USB icon coming up. I restored, reQUICKpwnd and whammy.
Thank you guys so much for your help, all of you. I love it.
It rocks just fine with swiss carriers to...
Thank you for spending all this time to help us getting a free iPhone in a not so free Word! Just love pineapples every day a bit more ;-)
Im confused on what you folks meant:
The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.
What is Stock to Pwned? Could you explain this?
Thank You From Hawaii.. --- You Guys Rock!
summary: you can't pwn an iphone that's never been pwned on a new macbook, but you can upgrade if it's been pwned before
nothings gonna ever keeeep you dooown
youre the best arooooound
Thnaks !
Works superb on 2g iphone
Already pwned (activated,unlocked,JB iphone 2G) to 2.1 using pwnage.
Didnt want cydia or installer for the time being.
Just followed the following steps.
1. Open itunes
2. Connect iphone
3. iphone prompts that 2.2 firmware is available.
4. Hit restore
5. Done
6. Simple !!!!
Can always use quickpwn (windows) later if I want cydia/installer, no ?
thanks dev-team.
$$$$$$ > /dev/null
cheers.
You guys are just amazing!
Only 2 days to wait for the newest firmware... wow, my 1st Gen. iPhone is now brandnew - since it's your fault! :-D
Many thanks from germany + go on as this in the future!
What can I do now?
Restored with downloaded firmware, restored backup of my settings, synced appstore apps.
Opened quickpwn, and still the same "selected firmware does not match firware on your device" error.
First difference from quickpwn2.1 is that when I ran it, it didn't allready point to firmware witch was in the same directory as quickpwn. 2.1 was very nice with this thing. oh, whell - so I hit browse, pointed to firmware (thinking that it's pointing to the same directory with that browse screen), and it gives me the same "wrong version" message.
Then I noticed that when I press browse on quickpwn does not 'point' to the same directory - instead it points to some weird itunes firmware update folder. I switched it to the 'right' one, and bingo - it works!
bottom line - be very careful, and just don't click next-next-next as usual in windows, but pay attention. and - why doesn't quickpwn point to firmware in the same folder as it is located (as was in 2.1)?
p.s. - big thanks - everything is working perfectly!!!
well - still thanks for this wonderful tool. got back all my cydia apps, so i'm happy. and thank's again! you guys still amaze me - you pretty much must be geniuses!
Edit - yes, while I made a mistake not having a 'nice' error message, it basically means the firmware isn't recognised, or it's corrupted somehow. Redownload it.
Works great!
Thank you Dev Team.
.....awaiting to software unlock....
Works great!
Thank you Dev Team.
i am on orange uk everything works on 2.1 with universal sim
am i right in saying if i dont update the baseband it will continue to work?
Right now my 3G is just an expensive iPod..........
a) Run Pwnange Tool 2.21
b) In simple mode - select iPhone 3G -> Select the 2.2 ipsw (DL from Apple)
c) When prompted "Do I have a iPHone 3G contract and normally activate through iTunes" -> Select NO.
d) Type in Mac OS X admin Password
e) Done - iPhone custom ipsw created.
f) In iTunes - use Cmd-Restore and manually select the custom ipsw that just been created.
Is that all correct ?
Cheers guys for your time and trouble! You rock!!
The custom firmware did not include the 2.2 baseband THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you provide a link for the custom firmware? I don´t know where to download it. And I´m scared if someone just links to a normal 2.2-firmware with baseband-update included.
Thx a lot!
Thanks in advance
Have fun, all windows-users!
After having read through about 750 comments here, I would like to ask for a clarification about the 3G iPhone network unlocking. I understand that updating the baseband to 02.28.00 will damage my prospects of using a Dev Team software unlock in the future. My question is slightly different.
I have a 3G iPhone which is currently locked to the Optus network in Australia. I do not have a Mac, and therefore cannot use PwnageTool to jailbreak firmware version 2.2 while preserving the 02.11.07 baseband. Regardless, I would like to upgrade to the new baseband to take advantage of whatever improvements have been made to call quality / dropouts / etc (if any).
So, my questions:
a) If I update the baseband to 02.28.00 using QuickPwn, would Optus still be able to unlock my iPhone?
b) If I have Optus unlock my iPhone first, will the iPhone remain unlocked after updating the baseband to 02.28.00?
Put another way:
c) Will updating the baseband to 02.28.00 prevent me from ever unlocking my iPhone, or will it only prevent me from using a Dev Team soft-unlock?
Thank you.

Any clues?
u are great,but u allready know that from all this posts
great work,keep on...
i restored my iphone3g with custom firmware of pwnage tool. i now have 2.2 with all my 3rd party apps. but the problem is YOUTUBE won´t work.
any advice?
thx
i can NOT update to modified 2.2 without baseband update using WINDOWS ?!
I have a tmobile locked 3g running on 2.1 .. i need your help guys :(
i had a 2.1 jailbroken phone, then i downloaded the latest quickpwn for 2.2, i chose the UPDATE option as it shows I can do above in iTunes, and then I ran the new quickpwn tool and i am now successfully back at a jailbroken 2.2 fully working phone, HOWEVER......
all of my installed cydia apps /themes/icons are gone from the home screen, but still are on the phone's hard drive....
is there a way to make them appear again? or am i stuck restoring to delete it all and having to reinstall EVERYTHING all over? i tried to SSH back in with no luck....
Maybe the ability to retain customizations and cydia programs are lost with every upgrade and I just havent seen anything that states that yet...
thanks to anyone who can answer this question for me....
that way i only have to recustomize my icons/home screen...
Thanks Rob!
Sorry if it's a stupid question...
Thanks :)
Inconvenience." I've googled for it and no clues please I need a solution

Any advice will be appreciated. I am becoming desperate!
I'd like to update to 2.2 but am on windows and don't have pwnage tool.
I don't want top update through itunes because i don't want to risk losing the ability
to do a soft unlock in the future how do i go about getting to 2.2 without messing anything up? or must i wait for winpwn?
i have always used the pwnage tool/quickpwn and have lost all my cydia, installer and cracked ssh apps.
but i want to keep them this time, how do i do this?
thanks dev team, you rock :)
Do any of you think you can help me out? I've tried downgrading to 2.1, but no methods seem to work. Will the devteam come out with something in the future to jailbreak 2.2?
Thank you do much
-Emma
Any help will be so much appreciated!!
Worked for me.
Thank you and greetings from Germany!
I have a windows xp system so i cant use the Mac PwnageTool to create a custom .ipsw to preserve my baseband.
Will the non updated winpwn tool preserve the baseband too? or wil it just create a custom firmware?
The winpwn tool does have an option for the custom 2.02 ipsw
Anyone???
Please help, thanks.
Thanks DevTeam

i'm a little scared that i download a bogus one
iPhone 3G with PWnage 2.2 updated. Now no calls possible. :(
"Kein Netz" - "No Net"/"NO GSM" (don't know translation in english) instead of T-Mobile.
Please, please help.
Then maybe is it worth taking the risk and updating the baseband as well?
Please email me the response at t3mur@aol.com since i wont be tracking the answers in this commentary wilderness.
Here's my stats: 2G iPhone, previously unlocked & Jailbroken. Was running 2.0 with T-Mob as carrier.
Here's my experience: Started process last night. "Update"ed through iTunes to 2.2. It started to add 2.2 to my phone, then went into it's normal "Backing up iphone," which took so long I went to bed. When I woke up, my iPhone was on 2.2, and it still showed t-mobile (I left my T-Mob SIM card in the whole time). I made a call, and everything was fine. Then ran Quickpwn on my Mac Pro (intel - quad-core). Took a few minutes, but everything went perfect. I now have cydia, installer, my old cracked apps (had to SSH them again - but worth it), and phone works flawlessly on t-mobile.
Hope this helps a few of you.
Here's my question :
I have an factory officially unlocked Iphone 3G. If I do the 2.2 update with Itunes and then use QuickPwn, then Cydia and Installer will be brought again on the springboard. But will the jailbroken apps previously installed on the Iphone with Cydia and Installer also stay as before ?
Thanks for your help !
anyone knows a easy method to backup jailbroken apps... please share...
everything works ok!
because installing all over again using cydia is relatively slow a process. please help
This will be the first restore atempt (after upgrade to 2.2, which I should do later today).
I'll post a followup as the proccess ends..
It means that, if you have apps like iLog or something, it will not preserve the data, you should do this manually for every 3rd party app
I learned that the hard way, my wife used to control periods with iWoman, now (after loosing all data after 2.1 upgd.) she's pregnant....owch.
does the bootloader thing affect me, or just iphone 3G users?
Hi i have a question. i have a custom iphone 3g running fw 2.1
I have a windows xp system so i cant use the Mac PwnageTool to create a custom .ipsw to preserve my baseband.
Will the non updated winpwn tool preserve the baseband too? or wil it just create a custom firmware?
The winpwn tool does have an option for the custom 2.2 ipsw
Anyone???
Thank you all very much for all what you did, you do and will do for our iphone...
Congratulation for your skills about the iphone... and to let us profite...

How should I turnaround this?
This is what I have to do until someone can help me figure out how to get quickpwn to work with the late 2008 macs
I'm having exactly the same problem. How can we use QuickPwn, if to use QuickPwn we need to go into DFU?
GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
You've said that we shouldn't use quickpwn, but I do not understand if this affects all fw or just fw 2.2? I have locked 3G 2.1 jailbreaked with quickpwn 2.1. So now I shouldnt upgrade to 2.2 and jailbreak this fw if I want soft unlock, or I already won't be able to unlock my phone because I already jailbreaked it with quickpwn 2.1?
PoorladRob suggests using the Pwnage Tool on another PC. Has anyone successfully done this? Are there any issues with syncing, etc?
Too many question marks here guys.
but I use all-tone sim card to make it usable in Taiwan.
So could any1 please confirm that with all-tone sim card, is it workable with 2.2 firmware + pwnagetool(my laptop is Ibook G4 lol, an oldie......)?
thanks for your help =)
ive successfully upgraded to 2.2 without modifying the baseband.
now all i wait for is the iphone 3G unlock. you guys are the best.
so i have a question. when the unlock comes out, what do i have to do?
make a custom, unlocked 2.2 firmware again, and then restore my phone again?
thanks again!
Tried with itunes 8.0.1 and updated to latest 8.0.2 (20) and still unable to restore the firmware on my 3G iPhone...
I am using Pwnagetool 2.2.1 on mac osx 10.5.5 with itunes 8.0.2 and each time in DFU mode I am getting the 1600 error, any suggestions?
Great work Dev Team keep the hacks coming
Thanx in advance!
but im thinking that ill get pretty good answers from this group of people.. so heres the question
how do i apply themes on my iphone?
ive downloaded one of the internet on my computer, but i was wondering how to actually apply that..
and if there are other ways to do it, like install an app on my phone, then please tell me.
thanks
Now I don't know how to install a theme from a file on your computer but to install them directly on your phone do this:
Open Cydia again and go to sections where you can choose from plenty of themes.
I downloaded the QuickPwn 2.2, but which do I do first?
Do I update my software, then jailbreak it again? Or do I do the QuickPwn 2.2 then update my software?
I don't want to lose my themes and stuff.
should i use pwnage tool? if not what should i do i cant tell whether the dev team is asking me to not do it or not
thanks
ganef
I found that using a usb hub the macbook late 2008 works just fine with QuickPWN - when it's done uploading those 115 Kb and trying to release to DFU you need to take it out and put it into the macbook directly fast - then it finishes fine :)
Greetz,

Or will it be a RESTORE to a jailbroken 2.2 with only Installer and Cydia?
I got a Custom Firmware, I can use it to restore in Itunes using Shift-Click, it restores fine, but phone comes back unactivated.
Im using Proxy-Sim, so I rely on QuickPwn to activate it, but I cant use QuickPwn on windows with that custom firmware, it just gives me "Error Firmware String"
Thank you DevTeam for all your hard work and dedication.
Once the unlock is eventually released, will we be able to do firmware updates in iTunes like any other factory unlocked iPhone or will the apple software still be able to tell that it was hack-unlocked and re-lock it?
When eventually I do upgrade to 2.2 by using QuickPwn, will it just upgrade my phone without any changes to any of my applications or will format the phone and install as a complete new rom?
I guess it's at least not possible using QuickPWN since I have to update before using iTunes.
But would it be possible with a pwned Firmware created by Pwnange Tool?
I ,after many failed attempts, got my iPhone 3G on AT&T into 2.2 jailbroken. My only problem is now i have lost signal. I may have accidently left the activation box checked, but I believe i did this on the 2.1 and it still worked. Anyway i can fix it, hopefully without having to restore again.
Thanks
I am an AT&T customer and after jailbreaking the 2.2 firmware and updating my phone, no signal :-(.
HTH
Also Congrats yet again Dev team :D.
I have posted about 5 times, and cannot see the posts (:-((
I would need to know - as I am on xp - what would a friend with an apple need?
1. Itunes
2. pwangetool 2.2.1
3. Original fw 2.2
Anything else?
Ruben
What you need is:
1. iTunes 8.01 (or 8.02)
2. Quickpwn 2.2.1
3. An .ipsw (firmware-) file for 2.2. Use Google to find it.
I was asking what a friend with an apple would need to do the job for me !!
Ruben
By the way - is there a quickpwn 2.2.1 -only see 2.2
and I used it with T-mobile
but I updated the firmware to 2.2 thru itunes yesterday which rlly screwed me
so what should I do now??
cheers from switzerland
I have a new iPhone 3g with the latest firmware installed, 2.2 -- attempted to jailbreak with QuickPwn -- all goes fine until the program reaches the point where it asks you to wait until the iPhone connects in recovery mode. It never proceeds to tell me to "Hold the home button for 5 seconds" etc etc. My iPhone goes into recovery mode, it shows the USB Plug pointing to iTunes on the screen, but the program never continues after that first line of Bold text. Tried restart, tried a different USB port, tried every common sense tactic I can think of.

Gracias desde España, amigo.
AN EXCELLENT WORK AND WONDERFUL
I have a 3G phone i AND I'M ALWAYS TO MEET YOUR ADVICE AND ALWAYS WITH YOU GOOD FOR ALL THE COURAGE TEAM
quickpwn says "The Pwnage process appears to have completed successfully. Please wait for your device to reboot in its newly modified state."
How long is this reboot process supposed to take? because I've been sitting here for a good 20-30 minutes
Thank you for your immediate help..
WE ARE WAITTING FOR YOU！！
HAVE A GOOD DAY~~
YOU ARE THE BEST!! dev-team`
Nobody can stop you :D - that's cool ;-)
Pwnage asks me to choose a firmware (in the first steps) and my choices are 2.0 and 2.1 firmwares...Which one do I choose or did I first need to download the 2.2 update? Thanks!
Could you please update your xPWN project? or is 0.3 still the current version? windows and linux users need their pwnage tool :|
waiting for unlocking :)
First attempt:
Upgraded with iTunes 8.0.1. Firmware upgraded successfully. Unlocked with signal.
Quickpwnage for Mac completed succesfully, but iphone keept on rebooting, saying a buzz sound once a while. Watched at least 5 reboots
Second attempt:
Upgraded to 8.0.2 (perhaps a mistake?):
Got into Restore mode (DFU?) after building a custom image with PwnageTool 2.2.1 (saying Yes to already pwnage) built in expert mode, but this keept on failing with error 1600.
Third attempt:
Downgraded to iTunes 8.0.1 and built a new image saying no to already pwnaged, this time in simple mode.
This worked!
The installer did want to downgrade, before deleting the current installed installation of iTunes, but moving it to Trash was enough.

Many Thx
what a bunch of stupid bastards, by the way. It's their fault that stupid mute switch broke off, why won't they take responsibility?!
anyways, great job! GOGODEVTEAM!
godspeed
BUT:
Cant find the aptBackup app in cydia, seems like the whole bigboss repo is down?
Any suggestions as how to proceed from here? I would really love to avoid the hassel of installing all my Cydia apps again.
No bossprefs or aptbackup available in cydia.
May we install them manually ?
Can anybody tell me how to go back to 2.1 firmware?
iPhone 3G with PWnage 2.2 updated. Now no calls possible. :(
"NO Service" in Screen-Headline.
Ideas?
Please help.
I use PwnageTool and make a Custom Firmware with the Activation hack UNCHECKED and let iTunes activate the iPhone. Now it works! :D
Don't understand why DevTeam checked it/don't inform about that. :(
be more detailed you will get help
any idea what to do? I keep getting 'No Service'
Thanx "Just One" - just have to uncheck Aktivation in PWnage. ;)
Just one question. I get the whole concept of upgrading via Pwnage vs. Itunes. BUT, aside form that, is it safe to get iTunes itself upgraded to 8.2? Must it remain as 8.0.1 for use with Pwnage? No one seems to be addressing this.
Thanks.
anybody knows how to deal with this problem??
pls...
it says no service
if I put it in with the turbo sim
it says no sim card inserted........
Perfectly working on my 2G.
Many thanks!
But i do thank you for all your hard work put into the project.
I did this on a previously Pwned 2G at 2.1 and i didn't even need to run QuickPwn
jack
jack
amazing how do this...
if the man from delmonte says yes then it is...haha pine-apple.
someone in a forum said Dev team will unlock 3g before holy days start.
it will be my perfect gift.
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
Some friends and I seem to have the same problems with 2.2.
We can`t access the BigBoss-Repo - We can see it in Cydia, but there are no packages in it.
Neither a new installation of the source nor a complete restore of the phones did help.
We all have the 2G iphones.
Another friend wo has the iPhone 3G has no problems at all with 2.2. and BigBoss-Repo
thanks for your swift answer. How can i update the app info to get BigBoss to work?
Best wishes
I am new to JailBreaking and I have few doubts:
I am using iphone 3g Locked and I don't have MAC machine.Also I upgraded to 2.2 firmware
1) I can use QuickPwn for jailbreaking in windows.
2) QuickPwn will not unlock Carrier.
3) I dont want to unlock carrier now but may be 3 months later.
4) Is it good to jailbreak now?
5) What extra I will get after jail breaking?
6) How is performance impact after installing cydia , installer and other jail broken applicaiton.?
When one Jailbreaks a phone, does the jailbreak modify/add to the existing firmware, OR, does it replace some of the new firmware files with some older files from previous firmwares that have been modified before.
My reasoning in asking is this: does a Jailbreak, in any way, revert the firmware back to previous versions of firmware, and in doing so, carry along the bugs of the previous firmware.
My 2.1 jailbroken phone felt buggy and sluggish compared to a clean formatted 2.1 phone. Thanks for your time, and your work is greatly appreciated.
Please I want it, and I think I'm not the only one.
Thanks
thanks dev team <3
I had upgraded the iPhone first to 2.2 using iTunes with whatever it downloaded from Apple
When running Quickpwn22, I pointed it to the same ipsw file it used for upgrading
Should I have used an ipsw file like the one I grabbed from iClarified.com? Or is there something different?
All help appreciated
Anyone have an issue launching Cydia?
How'd you fix it?
Thanks!
For what it's worth.. if others are having issues with Cydia crashing on launch, here's how to fix it....
Build a new IPSW and ONLY CHOOSE THE CYDIA package to install. Do not install any other software in the ipsw, just Cydia. You'll then have to download and install the other items from Cydia after the restore is complete.
i was hopeful but now dashed as i was basically back to normal only sans cydia (ie sorting through tons bullshit)
I used quickpwn22 on a 3G iPhone purchased in Belgium (=it is officially unlocked for all carriers out of the box) and after the quickpwn22 run that otherwise worked fine: "No Service". I got normal service again after a factory restore with iTunes. The steps I used:
Upgraded to 2.2 with iTunes and file downloaded from Apple site
Used quickpwn22 using that same ipsw file
I followed on-screen instructions and all worked fine it seemed, except ...
Anything I missed?
Well yes, I have to use the proper ipsw file like the one I downloaded from iClarified .com ... I got fooled by the fact that the original and modified ipsw files have the same name and the quickpwn22 as a default pointed to the iTunes upgrade directory rather than somewhere else.
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
Eventually, Pawnage Tool 2.2.1 lets me locate the .ipsw file and defaults to the correct directory (raising the question of why it couldn't be found in the first place). So I'm building a custom ipsw file and wondering why QuickPwn didn't work for me.
I Pwnd previsouly 2.1 to 2.2 and everything is worked fine exept Cydia.
Everytime when I select any option it crashes.
Then I QiuckPwnd my iPhone 2G and now Cydia is working.
A lot of people are not able to install any of the apps in the repo.
Question is, if this is a problem with the firmware or the repo itself?
I fuck off my iphone 3g :-(
Is going DevTeam working to create a procedure to downgrade? please.
Please I really need help, what are the bootloaders?
I couldnt find any answers here.
I have a question regarding to use of GEVEY SIM in iphone 3G with firmware 2.2
I have downloaded PwnageTool 2.2.1, and created my own custom firmware!
Now my question is whether that custom firmware will be fully functional with my GEVEY SIM solution?
Please, i just need some input, I've been browsing all iphone forums since new JB tool released but couldn't find a definite answer! Some says don't update, some says no problem with update...
iPhone 2G worked without a hitch (I wonder why people are having so trouble with this).
On a Mac - itunes 8.0.2 + IPSW 2.2 + PwnageTool 2.2.1 = create custom IPSW > move to library/itunes/iPhone Software Updates - Plug in iphone & click Restore.
Keep up the excellent work /devs
How do yuo open DMG files :P
Patrick
(V1 user)
Thanks.
Maybe after the first soft unlock is out, they will find a way to break the 2.2 baseband, but it is unknown at this point.
Problem 2: Waiting 4 a downgrade possiblity to BB cause i've 2.2 on my new iPhone.
PwnageTool for windows please!!
This is for 3g with Cyndia crashing.
I tried it and it work with baseband still at 01.45.00.
First. Creat IPSW with Pwnage Tool and restore in iTunes. Cyndia crashes
Then. Run QuickPwn. Cyndia works fine and baseband stay at 01.45.00
This process worked for me and I hope it work for you guys.
2.1 (jb) -> 2.2 official (itunes 8.0.2 windows) -> 2.2 jb using quickpwn (windows).
I'm on the official carrier so no need for unlock.
Great work guys!
But this guys are good and soon or later they will "work" this baseband.
Complain to Apple....
i did the expert mode but chose to activate the phone like a moron then when i was done i got NO SERVICE then did the simple mode and got the emergency call only . upgraded to pwnagetools 2.2.1 .... built me a new thingy
this time did it right and now my iphone is working
Try recovery mode (plug-in your USB, turn off the phone, hold just the home botton, unplug USB)
you should be in recovery mode with the USB and the apple sign.
Now option+resotre and test it out.
This has to be the shittiest firmware that I have encountered on a phone. It is buggy, effing slow and Safari crashes regularly.
SHAME ON YOU JOBS AND YOUR EMPLOYEES.
I have just used Quicpkwn22 to upgrade it and what a breath of fresh air. The device is twice the speed it was, if not more, and is a joy to use.
Thanks Dev team for your continued work and Jobber the Tosser for a half decent firmware AT LAST.
I've, for some reason, had situations before where QuickPwn, was trying to do something when my iPhone wasn't working, suddenly shocked the iPhone back into working order. I don't attempt to explain it... it just works sometimes.
Try Recovery mode.
So, summing up, If you were using TurboSIM; You´re screwed!!! At least for a considerable amount of time...
By the way, how did that "ACCIDENT" happened??? We´re all curious... How something so infortunate could happen to you???
http://www.hacktheipodtouch.com
1)you have it hidden.
2)you need to quickpwn
Solution1:
1.Make sure you install SSH on your iPhone when your running PwnTool 2.2 (OpenSSH)
2.Upload BossPrefs.app and unhide cydia or installer
2)Upload Categories.app and take those files out of the folders
Soluction 2:
1.QuickPwn the phone after you make a custom IPSW and there ya go..
i updated it to 2.2 before i found this site and i downloaded quickpwn and ran it everything seems like it worked but its not recognizing my network... what do i do plz assist meeee
Thanks
After having read through about 750 comments here, I would like to ask for a clarification about the 3G iPhone network unlocking. I understand that updating the baseband to 02.28.00 will damage my prospects of using a Dev Team software unlock in the future. My question is slightly different.
I have a 3G iPhone which is currently locked to the Optus network in Australia. I do not have a Mac, and therefore cannot use PwnageTool to jailbreak firmware version 2.2 while preserving the 02.11.07 baseband. Regardless, I would like to upgrade to the new baseband to take advantage of whatever improvements have been made to call quality / dropouts / etc (if any).
So, my questions:
a) If I update the baseband to 02.28.00 using QuickPwn, would Optus still be able to unlock my iPhone?
b) If I have Optus unlock my iPhone first, will the iPhone remain unlocked after updating the baseband to 02.28.00?
Put another way:
c) Will updating the baseband to 02.28.00 prevent me from ever unlocking my iPhone, or will it only prevent me from using a Dev Team soft-unlock?
Thank you.
M
Have a pleasant day
Matthawke, an official unlock by a legitimate iPhone carrier, such as Optus, will always be fine whatever the baseband version is. This is an unlock that's done through your carrier and iTunes and is entirely legitimate.
The soft unlock, an unofficial unlock in development for those that don't have the privilege of having a carrier who will unlock, is what's affected by the baseband update in 2.2.
M
I've tried rolling back my install to version 2.1 but it still has the SAME problem. I will try rolling all the way back to 1.1.4 and see how we go. but has anyone come across this before? Itd be great to have a working iphone again.....
please help me Devteam!
bad news though, i just rolled back to v2.0.2 using a custom ipsw from a few months ago. but now itunes wont even recognise the device...argh!
Thank you for supporting those who wants to keep their iphone liberated.
i want 3g software unlock,i can not use my iphone,i can not find turbosim in my country...
can you say something about when will 3g software unlock be...
thank you.
"GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool."
isnt pwnage tool already a soft unlock?
Is this the expected message I should get since I am still on 2.1? Please clarify. Thanks.
MacFly
I am running under win xp studend edition ... if that matters.... problem is whenever i try to run pwnage it showes an error: " the application failed to initialize properly etc".
I have itunes 8.1 installed but i can not get this program to work.
So anyone .... help.... any sugestion is more than welcomed right now.
10x
otherwise all your apps and cydia and installer disapear and dont return,
im having to resotre my iphone then reinstal the jailbreak. hopefully. that will finaly fix the whole problem.
but no edge connection since updating to 2.2?
(t-mobile d)
any ideas?
thx for help
*tigermurmel*
Now, itunes thinks they are installed but they don't show up. I did a restore firmware after update with full sync and watched as it reinstalled the missing apps from itunes but they are not there. Did a full power down and back up to no avail.
I tried the new quickpwn 2.2 but once it determined the type of phone, it didn't do anything. didn't quit, just didn't do anything i could see.
ideas??
if i get it jailbroken again, will Categories see the missing folders and apps?
any way to make the apps visible again?
I did the same stupid thing as you. Gibbles posted the fix below and it worked great. I couldn't get into ssh either to fix it. Here's what he posted:
"If settings is available, run that. Enable restrictions, disable restrictions. All your apps will be visible. If settings was hidden, SSH into /var/mobile/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.springboard.plist. If you cannot SSH search the internet find and download iPhone Browser. Navigate yourself over to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.springboard.plist... Compliments of BigBoss' Website ..."
i want 3g soft unlock...
i can not use my iphone,and can not find sim solitions in my country...
can you say something about when will 3g soft-unlock be...
thank you...
Upgraded to 2.2 through Itunes.
Lost all Cydia APPS.
In the ABOUT tab it shows the correct new Firmware, but google maps does not seem to show Street View :( Thanx APPLE.
Ran QuickPwn22-1 installer.
The installer finished but Cydia and Installer was not added to the phone.
What can i do?
Then wait a second, disable the restrictions, then go back to home. BANG Cydia is there.
now i have to reinstall allllllll thoes cydia apps i installed a long time ago.
what do i do??
So again, can quickpwn unlock + jailbreak the iphone 1G ?
For OS X users, it's probably easier just to restore to a custom ipsw created via PwnageTool 2.2.1.
If for some reason you don't want to do that, you need to run BootNeuter after running the OS X QuickPwn. Look through my other replies on how to do this, though really it's easier on OS X to just let BootNeuter do it's thing automatically via PwnageTool.
everything works fine apart from when I install new apps it comes up with :
"***** was not installed because iphone could not be veried " im using itunes 8.0 is this the problem or do i need another mobile installation hack to get new apps to install.?
Thanks
Sphang
http://is.gd/ATu
=]
But having another problem. Do you think, it will be üossible in the nera future to downgrade the baseband 02.28.00 to the last one?!
A short feedback would be great! Many thanks to you..
help?
Download and update with itunes then create a custom firmware with quickpwn and then use itunes to restore with quickpwn firmware??? Right?
Could I just download 2.2 with itunes then go directly to quickpwn and select the freshly download firmware and do it that waY?
ta
QuickPwn doesn't create custom firmwares. PwnageTool does. In addition, neither PwnageTool nor QuickPwn actually update your phone to a newer firmware; you still need iTunes to do this.
Download only(not update) firmware v2.2...Then use pwnage tool to jailbreak that firmware, it's then put your phone into DFU mode..then you RESTORE that custom firmware with itunes
You can download 2.2 directly from ituens and use quickpwn to jailbreak it. This way will update your baseband and can not be unlocked later on
If QuickPwn cannot find the correct file, we'll try to download them automatically.(another plural reference)
How many firmware bundles are there, one or more than one? I believe that they are located at:
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
... and that the file QuickPwn is looking for there is named, "iPod1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw"
Am I mistaken about that?
I just upgraded to 2.2 using Pwnage 2.2.1. I used the "correct" firmware - NOT from Itunes. I used expert mode, etc. Followed directions on iClarify to the letter. It was previously Jailbroken as 2.1. So, where do I go from here?
Thanks
I just updated and jailbroke on my 1g iPhone. All of my old data from cydia (themes, tweaks, apps) are classified under "other" in itunes, meaning they are still in my phone, but I can't access ANY of it. Is there anyway I can delete it or make it available to use?
If I used Quickpwn to intially jail break my iphone to version 2.1, have I already destroyed my soft unlock possibilities?
thanks
I know you guys have probably answered this question already some where within the 1500+ comment. But it will be quite long for me to look through all so let me please apologize now.
My question is, will you guys ever work on making the soft-unlock possible on the new baseband for the 3G model.
Any answer will be very welcomed as it will determine if i chuck my iPhone in the bin or not.
p.s. i know i was very stupid to update without checking first. No one can hate themselves more than me at this present moment
Thanks and keep up the good work
Ruben
Okay so im trying to fix a 3G iphone that has been upgraded to 2.2. Prior to the upgrade it was Jailbroken. The user was using a GEVEY Turbo Sim prior to the upgrade, which i understand you dont reccommend.
I currently use a PC and i think this is my problem, but if someone can confirm - let me know.
I tried to Restore to 2.1 but everytime i try - i get error 1013. I also tried to restore to 2.0 and i get the same error. Im guessing apple was smart and I cant downgrade the Baseband on this phone. Weird thing is that even with the error 1013 - the Firmware says 2.1. I jailbroke it, but now the phone gets no Service using the Unlock Sim. Im assuming there is currently no fix for this - right?
I know on the 2G phones the baseband has no problem since its not upgraded during 2.2 .
Is there anyway to get the 3G baseband back prior to the 2.2 Upgrade? Or is it stuck for now?
your tip "Update or Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything." does not appear to work.
I updated from 1 to 2.2 on iTunes (latest version) on my iMac then used the quickpwn and while all apps work fine, the phone (unlocked several months ago with AnySim) does not work any longer. the carrier shows "no service" and under "settings" - network or general, I do not appear to be able to set my phone carrier..
Turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock", click flash, let it reboot once, run BootNeuter again, turn on "Neuter" and "Unlock" again, click flash. Don't interrupt the flashing process. When the iPhone reboots again, your carrier will be there.
In 2.2, BootNeuter has a bit of a conflict with CommCenter, so it sometimes freezes. If it does, try it again. Alternatively, run it as it was "meant" to be run: as part of a custom ipsw from PwnageTool or as one of the options in the Windows version of QuickPwn.
ssh -l root xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
password: alpine
chmod u+s /Applications/BootNeuter.app/BootNeuter
chown root:wheel /Applications/BootNeuter.app/BootNeuter
exit
Thats it! It had worked for me!
See the http://www.modmyi.com/forums/native-iphone-ipod...
Error:
Couldn´t talk to the bootloader.
This may be due to a CommCenter Collision So BootNeuter will exit.
I was restored too times, i was maked the quickpwn 2 times and nothing happend..
I Have NO SIGNAL...
And Bootneuter always crahs.
Someone please help me I want 2.2
Is there anything in 2.2 that is must have ?
I know www.iclarified.com have a tutorial for upgrading & jailbreak of an iPhone 3G using the PwnageTool - which updates the FW but preserves the existing baseband. B
But has anybody actually followed it and can verify that they are no missing steps etc.
Btw iPhone Dev guys ... To do all the stuff you do - you guys are super smart and super talented. A huuuge BIG-UP to you chaps.
simply switch your iphone back on again (normal mode) , then press alt+click in iTunes and choose the custom ipsw... then every thing will work...
The problems seems to be that the springboard backup file can't be understood because it's telling it that there should be 5 icons there but there are only 4 slots.
If that's not the problem, try reinstalling any other apps that you used to have that might have altered the springboard.
Is there something to enable so I can get that feature?
Also, I can't find the option for google street view in google maps.
Note: In System Preferences it does say I am on the 2.2 Firmware and the Safari and App Store have been updated with new features.
Thank you for your support
Have fun.
so.... i am wondering is there any update for the soft unlock?
We know that you guys are almost there, and there is already nothing technical prevents us reaching it.
how is the final piece of work going now?
Please help.
My question is does anyone have a reliable source where I can get a custom ipsw so that I can update?
As for the Dev Team, keep the good work
I have 2G
Updated to latest Itunes
Upgraded to 2.2
QuickPWN'd (Windows)
All went well until this last part where it just hangs. I even helf the home and power button to reset and still nothing. (Every now and then I get two short vibration alerts)
Please help!
Thanks

itunes8.0.1.11
windows XP
iphone firmware:2.11.07
thanks guys u rule!
U ROCK.
My question is can i upgrade my phone to 2.2 from 2.0 without getting it locked or bricked.
If yes pls tell me the simplest way possible( with or without baseband update)... Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated...
I have a factory unlocked 3G iPhone that I just upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 through iTunes and everything is working as it should be.
Also if i try updating with the custom 2.2 firmware, will this lock my iphone( iphone 3g, 2.0 ), if NO pls send me the link to download custom 2.2 firmware.
And if i have a factory unlocked iphone 3g, i can directly use itunes to upgrade to 2.2 without locking my phone.
if anybody can spare few valuable minutes, i'd really appreciate
Will the unlock again requiere a mac? I am on pc, will stay there and all coments of dev team are pointing to - no winpwn - get a friend with a mac or buy one yourself (:-((

What does it mean when it stays stuck on the pineapple screen and it vibrates every 3-4 seconds? Does this mean i didnt have a succsesfull Jailbreak?
Now when i plug into itunes it says im on restore mode. So i tried the shift command and i put the file i grabbed of here. and then i get the emergency call screen.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks
Mine wont move to the next step, it only puts my phone in recovery mode with the itunes logo and plug. and nothing else happends.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Saludos!
Since the last time I posted my question I have not received any answers, so I decided to Quickpwn my ipod touch instead of my iphone to see what happened, and its a total disaster, because I followed the process, and I have being waiting for the ipod touch to restart for about 40 minutes, and the only thing I can see is a pineapple that flashes from time to time, and nothing happens, and I can not restore it because itunes does not recognizes it.
What is the problem what can i do.
Please help
I originally did the upgrade without baudband and now decided to go ahead with new baudband. IT IS CONFIRMED at least between me and 5 other friends that the NEW BAUDBAND IMPROVES INTERNET AND CALL QUALITY DRAMATICALLY, so the question is if you want that or not. :(
Avoiding upgrading the baudband is only for anyone that is not on AT&T anyway though, so those people are very few in number.
IT IS CONFIRMED that you have the INCORRECT name for the TECHNOLOGY that you are TALKING ABOUT.
ALSO REMEMBER that the IPHONE 3G is on SALE in many other COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, so IN FACT there are MANY of 'THOSE PEOPLE'
PLEASE CONFIRM: IS your CAPSLOCK key BROKEN?
your post is sooo funny you should be a comedian
thank you for making me laugh
this would make ppl happy :
ROFL
Always remember that APPLE will pwn you in the end. TRY AGAIN, because thats all you can do.
The firmware installed on your iPod Touch is not sipported by QuickPwn, please check our website for further information.
But where can I check for that information.
The nice thing about the iPod Touch is that it's not brickable.
now the question.. is it possible to revert or any future solution for this? Any hope for the ones that screw it up????
It happened that a couple of times after upgrading the phone if i remove and insert the sim i got signal for several minutes and could make calls.
Jailbroken iPhone does really kick ass!
Is there a way to use it as an expensive iPod Touch until there will be either a software unlock or I buy a "turbo sim" or so?
Thank you in advance
Kindest regards,
Abdul_Hassan
Edit: well, ... should it be that simple? ;-)
Once again I have to say thank you VERY much to the iPhone-dev-team !!!
In the meantime my "iPod"PhoneTouchThing is syncing :-D ready for the unlock
Kindest regards

Please help
I'm having trouble with the custom firmware.
My iPhone 3G doesn't seem to be able to connect to my carrier anymore (Swisscom in Switzerland).
The information screen says Network: Not available
Baseband still 02.11.07
Anybody can help ?
I used PwnageTool 2.2.1 for the custom firmware
It the first time I'm using PwnageTool on my 3G but I had already used it on my 2G
I'll try again after unchecking it.
Thanks
Can you please just confirm, if my understanding is correct:
This is not a 3G unlock.
This is just a tool to update the 2.2 version without losing the ability to for soft unlock?
but I think I shall wait first for unlock, then shall update to 2.2
Think this is more safe for me )))
i have updated my 3G to 2.2
i open winpwn and it works fine throughout the entire process and then at the final step, when it says jailbreaking iphone, i have a window from windows popup that says the program has stopped working and it freezes.
ive done this twice, restoring my iphone with itunes prior to each attempt.
is there something im doing wrong??
using windows vista if that makes a difference....
thanks for any help you can provide
still.. nothing?
"If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer."
Updated my jailbroken iPhone 3G v2.1 to v2.2 using the latest iTunes. Then, jailbroke by the latest QuickPwn. Cydia and Installer are there. I need to re-install iRealSMS and IntelliScreen, but the license information and configuration was preserved. One problem I found was; IntelliDial does not work. Other 3rd party applications worked fine.
because of the update the jailbreak is lost and has to be done again (quickpwn) while the unlock remains
you simply have to do quickpwn again
der unlock bleibt bei den 2g iPhones erhalten, aber cydia und seine apss sind bis Du erneut quickpwn ausführst, verloren
Regards freundliche Gruesse

However, I don't know why, after update following your instruction form 2.2 to 2.2, mail app and safari use to crash. For example, the iPhone tells me I have new emails and, as soon I open the app and receive the message, mail app closes irremediably!
Any suggestion, please?
Thanks again from Spain.
is there a Windows PwnageTool for 2.2
iTunes 8.0.2, Mac OS X.5 (up to date), iPhone 2G with OS 2.1, PB G4...
Enjoy it!
when i install apps now it says the the iphone can't be verified. how do i get that working again ?
thanks
Sim
They said it's more secure jailbreak for many people, are they very big differences between thoses two jailbreak ?
Unfortunatelly I cannot run BootNeuter (+swifi fix), since it crashes when I start it.
Is there going to be BootNeuter for iPhone 2.2?
Also what gives with the Apt Back-up program. That does not work. I found out the hard way. ( I know, wrong website to ask this question)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix5gEKly6fQ
Ive got 3g and Quickpwn after 2.2 update on the itunes. Everything is ok. Apps run great, cydia OK, no problem at all.
Many thks and keep the good work in the " cat and mouse game"
Please, is there any solution to recovery the baseband after the update processo? Is someone working to recovery that?
thank you!
How many times do these guys have to tell you dont update, wait for a fix.
Everyone knows by now every updat breaks unlocks...
How do you guys manage to Jailbreak/Unlock you phones anyway when you cant follow basic instructions?????????????????
I was used to Windows mobile devices where you can always get out of trouble, I didn't realise you can't change the Baseband on the iPhone 3G and a large dose of stupidity led me to upgrade so now I can't use my phone on T-Mobile.
Nobodies fault but my own.
thanks dudes!
and then install your apps again
you the best!
can u help me?
I have the iPhone 2G with firmware version 2.0.2.
I was able to just plug it in, click update, and let iTunes install the 2.2 firmware. After that, just run QuickPwn and let it run. Easy as hell due to awesome work by the dev team!
On a side note, I use Categories from Cydia to put apps in folders, and the Poof! option in BossPrefs quite frequently. I had put the Settings app, Bossprefs and the Categories launcher all in folders that ceased to exist after QuickPwn. I could not launch any of these apps! I had to find and download 5 or 6 different app launchers before I could get to any of these programs, which was tiresome and frustrating. If you use Categories or Poof, its a good idea to unhide all of your icons and remove at least the system critical apps from folders before doing ANY of the updating/pwning.
On another side note, I'm an AptBackup user - a must have for anybody tinkering with updates. Make a backup with it on the phone before updating, and after Pwning, re-download it with Cydia and run the restore. It not only found every Cydia app I had, but it even checked the right items in Winterboard along with downloading and installing every app! Don't leave home without it, folks!
I updated my unlocked (T-mobile) first-gen iPhone to 2.2 using the latest iTunes (8.0.2.20), then ran QuickPwn to jailbreak.
As usual, everything worked as expected (no problems whatsoever)! Thanks for all the hard work!!!
All i want to know is, is it being worked on? Should I expect a Baseband downgrade option for the 2.2 anytime soon?
or should i just settle for the ipod touch that my 3G has been converted to and just go out and by a new cell..
Thanks
“Without the DevTeam’s amazing work the iPhone would be useless!!!”
Keep up the good work... and the Cat and Mouse.
what if I buy a new iPhone 3G now and it has already 2.2 installed?
Is there any chance that this 2.2 iPhone will be unlockable in a near future like the older 3G seems to be or does the baseband update lead to an "unlocable forever" status?
thanks

Greeting from Portugal.
Did you install Kate? If so just change the font that comes by default with Kate. Than it would all be Ok.
Try restoring, it's certainly not a common problem you are having. Most people say 2.2 iss more stable in Safari and no other problems.
i have a firmware of 02.11.07 which i assume i got from the 2.1 software upgrade. Does this preclude me from any potential soft-unlock? If it does, i shall just go ahead and install the official 2.2 upgrade. If not i am going to play it safe and wait for the (fingers crossed) soft-unlock to be released.
Bigguss
According to the information from DevTeam that's the last FW that is can be soft-unlocked in the near future.
I´m owning a custom 2.2 firmware for the iPhone 3G. Now my question is: do I have to either update or restore my iPhone with this firmware (by Shift+left click)???
Can I restore my 2.1-backup with the new firmware (options, savegames, wifi-hotspots etc.)?
Thanks
Seeking an advice for an amator
I have an unlocked 3g 8G iphone , and I am a real amateur, my son accidently pushed the upgrade button that locked the phone with the 2.2, I restored it using Quickpwn, everything is working fine and was wven able to back it up with itunes except the network does not wor anymore it states network not available
I would die for an advice,
Thanks
Also noticed DFU problem on new MacBook Pro. WTF?
thank you.
my process was as follows:
get pissed cydia didnt work.
research for a while
try pwnage again
restore
try quickpwn again
etc etc
get everything Except cydia back to normal
read another post from this blog saying some Other thing works
try said thing
find that it doesnt work
re-get everything back to "normal"
read Ruben's post
be a bit skeptical
try quickpwning
load cydia successfully
WOOOHOO
hope it helps
If you are in dfu and want to get out of it, hold down home button and power together until the phone restarts, it takes quite a while though.
I am using a pwned iphone 2G (2.0 firmware).
I have downloaded the pwngate tool 2.2.1.
So I just upgrade to 2.2 using itunes and the quickpwn my device?
Won't my device be locked after I press the upgrade button on itunes?
This happend some hour after I quickpawned the 2.2 ver
I am first timer on this and am trying to use QuickPwn (the latest version). The program asked for Bootloaders v3.9 and v4.6 and there is a botton for Browse but there was no such files in the foolders that I downloaded. Can anyone help me? Thank U
we may not post a link here
but GOOGLE is your friend :)
I have an Iphone 3G that I was using with ATT. I finished my contract and want to go with another carrier. My idea is just to unlock my iphone 3G, not to Jailbrake it. when I started using the pwnage Tool on the experto mode is giving me differet options of what i want to do. Which one of these options should I use just to unlock it?
Thank you very much!
I have no signal...
Bootneuter can determine the settings and say:
Version 3.9
Neuter : Yes
Fakeblank: NO
Unlock: yes
No SIGNAL.
Now, i like to change the settings and touch didnt recognize. The phone crash..
Some fix?
Did you use PwnageTool or QuickPwn?
I was restart the network settings... the network was recognized for a seconds... in that seconds i start bootneuter.. it wasnt crashed and i turn 4.6 bootloader and FLASH... was restarted and now i havent signal again.. i like to enter on bootloader but it probably will crash...
i will restart the network settings after signal work and then enter on bootloader..
is ok?
Ok.. i am duing a full restore on DFU mode.
i was sucesfull restored ( in the itunes screen, locked) its says no service... i am doing the quickpwn...
Still no service.
What is AptBackup? I don't see that in a Cydia search.
hope it is realesed soon!!!

Although if we eventually find a way to revert down from 02.28.00, that would also happen to be useful for turbosim users.
Is 2.2 the only non-unlockable firmware? 2.1 is fine? (Plus will you release the unlock in the same way as for the first iPhone via QuickPwn because that was really easy for me to do plus I don't have a Mac so can't use PwnageTool.)
And is 2.2 impossible to unlock or would it just take you guys a few days longer to do it (after you finish the 2.0/2.1 unlocks.) Asking because might be getting a 3G soon and it might come with 2.2 preloaded
Do you guys think you'll have the unlock finished by Christmas?
Thanks :)
Keep up the GREAT work. I can't tell you how glad I am that you guys do this. You're really unbelievable.
I know this may seem a bit annoying, but any estimate at all as to when the unlock's coming? Really need to know cause it's the deciding factor in buying the 3G or not... Rough estimate would even do... ;)
(though I understand if you say it might cause people to start nagging in case you don't meet that date as if it's a deadline, so can you at least confirm that an unlock is coming sooner or later? ) Preferrably sooner ;)
Okay I'm just nagging now so I'll stop. Thanks again.
Those of us with previously pwned 1st gen iPhones have both the option of upgrading to 2.2 and then QuickPwn or made a new custom 2.2 fw with Pwnage Tool and then restore. In my previously pwned firmwares, I have always opted for a custom firmware because I like to preload it with all sorts of Cydia apps. However, I wonder if there is any theoretical reason for having a faster machine (all the other things being equal) if you update and then QuickPwn. If there is no reason for thinking that a custom firmware may be somewhat slower than a QuickPwned one, I'd rather go for the custom firmware.
Thanks for any answer you can give me on this
- iPhone via PwnageTool with Cydia apps preloaded
- iPhone via QuickPwn and those same Cydia apps loaded manually later
If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer."
Just to be absolutely sure. The statement above is for A 3G phone that has already been jailbroke 2.1. Right??
I am with AT&T and have a 3G iPhone. I jailbroke it a coupke months ago with 2.1. So, If I want to update to 2.2 all I have to do is go ahead and update through Itunes to 2.2 and then use the new 2.2 quickpwn to jailbreak? Will I loose all the apps I have installed when I update. Is there anything else I need to do first like restore or delete any of the apps I have now. I saw something in the post about taking ALL apps out of folders before updating, which I have already done even deleting the Categories App altogether just to be safe. Is there anything else like this I shuld do before I start?
Sorry to ask something that seems to have an obvious answer but I'm not real techy and I can't afford to turn this thing into a paperwight.
Thanks.
I know there was plenty of warning about it but I read then after i tunes updated the the device. Is there any way to roll it back using a windows PC and then updating using the pawnage tool.
I managed to upgrade a different device last week using 2.1 which is working fine but 2.2 ruined everything!
Please help!
What you can try is to restore your 2G iPhone to the 2.2 FW using iTunes, and then QuickPwn/Pwnage it again after.
I pwned my iphone and a friend's and we are both very greatful!
keep up the good work!
It hangs at "selecting Firmware" and nothing happens anymore. Any ideas
are you a BlackOp's grup from Apple Inc ?
How can I fix this?
I cant get PwnageTool or quickpwn to work.
I ve got the 3g with 2.2 and using mac 10.5.5.
All i want is to jailbreak it (Im using the offical carrier).
Pwnagetool says it faild after inputing the password.
Quickpwn builds the file but the sending process wont start.
Last message is: Successfully built quickpwn ramdisk file then after 30 min nothing.
Whats wrong?
Is it becouse of os x 10.5.5?
My query relates to Quickpwn as I have never used this before,.
If I take a Pwnd/jailbroken 2.1 iPhone 2G without any apps (app store or Cydia) and use iTunes to update to 2.2 I end up with unlocked, activated blank 2.2 iPhone 2G but it is no longer jailbroken. I then install lots of app store apps and use it like this for a few days, syncing and backing up etc via iTunes.
If I then decide I want to jailbreak the iPhone using QuickPwn what state will the iPhone be left in once Quickpwn has been run??
Will it be as it was before the Quickpwng but jailbroken or will it be a blank 2.2 jailbroken iPhone?
My question basically is, therefore, to achieve a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone 2G that is already 2.2 but without losing information or apps, can i use Quickpwn or not??
Thanks so much for the tools and keep up the good work
Here's how I fixed it, after hours of re-pwning over and over...pwn it with PwnageTool 2.2.1, then run QuickPwn, and let it do its thing. For some reason, QuickPwn fixes it. I now have Cydia working, hurray!
I need help.
I have by mistake update my iphone 3G with firmware 2.2 ; but now I have no network .
please how my I get back to the old baseband?
Helpp
P.S. BTW, the quickPwn question on those files is a bit misleading. QuickPwn asks whether you want to 'keep the files that are on your iPhone.' However, if you say yes QuickPwn installs official Apple logos. But if you had already pwned your phone and are happy with your logos, your answer may be yes because you intend to keep your own logos, not the official ones.
Unlocked by Turbosim iphone 3G CAN NOT make the itunes 2.2 update because it messes with the locking stuff??
When can this be fixed?
Yeah, I read it but couldn't resist trying... so... it did get frozen on going to restore mode....shit! now need to find a not so new mac to pwn it!
I would really like to make my own custom ipsw which removes the Baseband upgrade for iPhone 3G, yet still allows me to use my phone with the carrier I got the phone from (meaning, I'm using the phone with the carrier it's locked to, but would like the possibility to unlock it if/when it becomes possible)
any chance of getting such a tool? or, for now, Windows users like myself are stuck?
Thanks for the help!
What should I do? running Mac here.
just to clarify what do i need to do in the pwnage tool to make sure the baseband is not updated? i want to be able to unlock in the future but i want 2.2 now.
thanks in advance..... seb
when i pwned first time i chose to active ????? and after i was getting no service or very little signal not enough to make a phone call however i did not qwkpwn it
Do the expert mode and uncheck activate phone should do it
Peace
I have a 3G 2.1 jailbroken iphone. I'm still stuck in my contract for about a year and a half, so I'm in no hurry to software unlock the service provided. That said, I like to keep my options open. If I decide to upgrade to 2.2 MINUS the baseband, does anyone know what I'm really losing? I heard on person anecdotally mentioned the baseband upgrade did improve dropped call problems. However, I feel like it's too early to really know that... anyone know the official changelog of the baseband update?

That's the risk of using a custom ispw that was never made by you. You don't know what's in it.

WHETHER YOU IGNORED OR CAME TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS TOO LATE
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT'S OVER FOR YOUR 3G IF YOU UPDATED / RESTORED TO 2.2 OR USED QUICKPAWN
THE ANSWER IS NO!!!! YOUR 3G, 2.2 IS NOT REVERSIBLE.... NOT AT THIS TIME, OR ANYTIME SOON
SELL IT OR JOIN THE CARRIER WHO SUPPORTS THE 3G
STOP POSTING QUESTIONS HERE AFTER YOU HAVE UPDATED YOUR 3G TO 2.2!!!
YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED BY THE DEVTEAM GOLDEN RULE!!!!!
Jailbreak a success!!
Pwned the current iPhone 3g ipsw to create the custom firmware (activate ticked in pwnage tool). iTunes would NOT allow me to update and instead the iPhone went into 'Steve Jobs' recovery mode.
After retry, the restore of the iPhone began to load the new custom firmware and precariously, the Apple logo started to run. After nail biting +++, the Apple logo progress bar got only half way and the iPhone rebooted into a fully working OS 2.2 running Yessim.
Reloading the Backup on the Mac restored all of my Appstore data, music, pics etc and importantly the settings!
3rd party apps I had to laboriously reload as AppBac (cydia) did not restore any of the previous setting suggesting that iTunes may not be backing this up as it is supposed to do.
However, after this little blip, I have an OS2.2 fully working with AppSore apps and 3rd party Apps. Mobile installation patch 2.2 works a dream.....catch my drift :-)
Catch u later Bro's and Sis's
Dev Team Rock!!!
Please get the Soft 3G unlock sorted ASAP so I can bin Yessim !
jailbreaking my new iphone 3g was one of the scariest moments of my life...but well worth it.
Again thanks dev team!!!
I understand the baseband is not an issue and that I can simply use quickpwn, but I only have a mac, so I just use pwnage and create a custom ipsw again, with installer and cydia (if that's what I want, which it is) and hey presto?
I have all my AppStore apps backed up in iTunes, but will this update loose me all my cydia and installer apps etc?
I've read a heap of the posts so far but can't find a clear answer on my question - sorry if I've missed it and am wasting anyone's time.
Thanks in advance and thanks for all the efforts DevTeam!

I was downgraded to 1.1.4 erased the baseband and restore to 1.1.4...
THe signal worked again.
But when i upgrade to 2.2 again it comes the NO SERVICE..
Any suggest?
1st Generation Iphone 8gb
Win Quickpwn.
How can i downgrade de baseband on 2.2?
I'm currently running a 2.1 2G iPhone on the Tmobile network. From some of the comments I read and on the post, am I safe to assume that I should use iTunes to upgrade to 2.2, and then run QuickPwn?
If someone could either reply here, or send me an email to bo@addictedgamer.net I'd appreciate it.
We need some tool that allows us to save all the Cydia and Installer state, and restore that after the upgrade.
I'm aware of one app that tries to do that for Cydia, but according to some, that state isn't backed up by Apple, and is thus missing after the restore (I guess I could save that manually with sftp). Still, for Installer, an equivalent solution is missing... Or am I missing something?

2G from 2.1 to 2.2
Thank you for your help.
Is your iPhone a 2G (Original/First Generation) iPhone? If it is the 2G iPhone (judging from your comments about unlocking it with ZiPhone, I figure its a 2G iPhone), then you can update to 2.2 using iTunes and then unlock and jailbreak using QuickPwn or if you are on a Mac, Pwnage. If it is a 3G, then don't upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes.
Upgrade to 2.2 from 2.1(Pwned!) using iTunes.
Launch QuickPwn.exe (from Windows) and follow the steps.
Done!
Greetings from Portugal.
I just activated my Vodafone SIM, and threw it in my 2G iPhone which is unlocked and jailbroken, and it works fine.
I put it in my iPhone 3G which is locked to Voda (confirmed by Vodafone representative) and it doesn't work.. The iphone 3G was updated to 2.2 firmware and jailbroken two days ago.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to activate it with iTunes or something?.. When I connect it to iTunes nothing comes up, and when I click 'check for updates' nothing comes up..
Is it because I jailbroke it before activating SIM?..
Thanks

I want to upgrade my 1.1.3 2G iPhone, but this version of QuickPwn (2.2) says it can only jailbreak versions >= 2.0. How can I upgrade to 2.0 if QuickPwn won't let me do it? =(
Thanks.
Are you on Mac or Windows?
I have one huge problem tho.. I updated with itunes, and when I run quickpwn it tells me something like:
"this version of quickpwn can only jailbreak devices with versions >=2.0"
I am on FW 2.2, Windows Vista 64-bit... What could possibly be wrong? Any way to make it understand that I actually got greater than 2.0?
I logged on the computer as a domain admin, and everything worked like a charm.
The problem was that quickpwn and the iphone was on different users since quickpwn needs admin access when logged on a normal user.
PLEASE tell me tavaresstallworth@yahoo.com
If you did it by iTunes using the official 2.2 FW from Apple than you will not be able to get signal by the use of a turbo chip. One of the things the new Baseband, that comes along with the official Apple FW 2.2, is that it stops the ability to use those chips in order to get carrier signal.
So by the time being, with that kind of chip, sorry to say this, but you're stuck.
Greetings from Portugal.
Greetings from a jailbreaked T-Mobile 3G , now running on the german o2 (still with a Gevey TurboSim... arghh :-))
but hopefully soon with a 3G-software unlock by YOU!!
Kind regards from Germany - and keep the spirit up!!
I really appreciate your titanic efforts, you made my iPhone live, all worked great, thank you
I have a late '08 MacBook and an iPhone 2G pwned.
Q1 Can I simply update to FW 2.2 via iTunes and run QuickPwn after?
Q2 Is it possible to create a custom FW 2.2 using the PwnageTool on an other Mac and keep my former data? After updating the FW when it comes to restore my settings and data I would unplug the iPhone and connect it with my new MacBook (which contains my actual backups).
Thank you for your help, DevTeam or other people who have the same hardware (I just want to make sure everything works out the first time),
Yves
Q2: Make sure you sync your iPhone before you do anything. Use another Mac to build custom FW. Bring that custom FW to your new MB. Restore you 2G iPhone using the custom FW on your new MB (that you had synced your iPhone with earlier). When asked by iTunes, select restore iPhone from whatever your iPhone profile was called INSTEAD of "Setting up as new iPhone". All your settings and data should be left intact (except for non-AppStore 3rd party apps).
btw: nice logo you've got there ;-)
Worked %100 for me, after messing for 2 hours with Itunes and WinPWN 2.5 without much luck, the new QuickPWN22 worked right away from the first try!
Make sure you follow the instructions and all should work. No need to terminate any Itunes processes, the new prog does it for you!
Really good release, I bet this makes life easier for alot of people out there. I really appreciate it, nice work!

- As I have an iPhone 2G and was on a Pwned+Jailbroken 2.1, I updated using iTunes to 2.2, the official 2.2. The update went fine and the restore of the settings was a snap. I thought: "hey, the update went fine". So I was happy with the Official 2.2, at least I was until I got a call, which I couldn't answer (slide 2 answer didn't work)... So my guess is, if we come from a pwned OS and put the official over it, it doesn't delete what you had there, leaving a lot of mess behind... I used then PwnageTool to reinstall everything from scratch and here I am, with a jailbroken+unlock iPhone 2G 2.2 :)
Thanks for your hard work!
Big thanks.
*bow*
If you wouldn't mind checking for me...
Thanks
it's a 3G by the way with 2.1 installed
Also if i try updating with the custom 2.2 firmware, will this lock my iphone( iphone 3g, 2.0 ), if NO pls send me the link to download custom 2.2 firmware.
And if i have a factory unlocked iphone 3g, i can directly use itunes to upgrade to 2.2 without locking my phone.
if anybody can spare few valuable minutes, i'd really appreciate
You can also go to Settings>General>About, and under "Carrier" it should say "Carrier 2.x" (mine says Carrier 2.9 and I'm on FW2.2). If its locked it will say the Carrier's name (AT&T, Vodafone, etc.). I haven't fully verified this yet so if anyone knows otherwise, please add to this.
If its factory unlocked, then yes you can update through iTunes.
iphone is not officially launched in dubai, so while buying it i had 2 options one was with sim adapter and was slightly cheaper and the one i bought was without any such adapter and they told me it was NEVER Locked, i got it for dhs 3300 ( USD 899 approx )
and as far as my iphone goes it works on almost all the chips i tried.....dubai, bahrain, india ( i have tried my phone in these 3 countries and it worked perfectly )
Now i checked under Settings>General>About, and under "Carrier" ( NETWORK ) it currently shows airtel and when i put etisalat it shows etisalat. so i don't really think this is the authentic way to check whether it is factory unlocked. wat say...
Also now i have downloaded a custom 2.2 firmware without baseband update.....and right now i'm on 2.0...will 2.2 version work with 1.45 baseband.
i'm being so specific coz i don't want to turn my 900 dollar iphone into a mere music player :-0
hope u wuld understand...
thanx in advance for ur time echo....
pls confirm authenticity....
also it says that the iphone should be on 2.1 version and pwned and mine is on 2.0 and is pawned
will this custom firmware work on my iphone 3g 2.0
Greetings from Portugal.
if anyone knows how it would be much appreciated
Greetings from Portugal.
I have just brought a second hand iPhone 3G which came with an O2 Pay as you go Sim CardM
- Version: 2.1 (5F136)
- Model: MB489B
- Modem Firmware: 02.11.07
Problem is that I am on Vodafone in the UK and I wanted to check if I could unlock the Sim Block so that I can use my Vodafone sim instead of the O2?
Any help would be really helpfull and Respect to the Dev Team :)
I little bit worried, because i did upgrade to 2.2 and jail brake and now have no signal.!!!!
I know you are working on it, but, we have a ligth at tunnel's end?
Greetings from Portugal
Any ideas why this would happen?
Thanks.
Its because it has nothing to do with the FW but the baseband of your iPhone and how it was programmed. We are all getting the same FW when we download and update through iTunes. Yet the factory unlocked iPhones remain unlocked and the non-factory unlocked iPhones get "re-locked".
My sister lives in Australia is getting an iPhone through Vodafone and for a small fee (AUD75), they will send her unlock codes over the internet to unlock her 3G iPhone. This will probably only work with iPhones locked to Vodafone in Oz and not all locked iPhones. Again, this is just a guess.
Plus isn't the baseband part of the firmware anyway? It got updated with the 2.2 one...
But if it isn't as easy as just restoring to the firmware, does that mean that the unlocked ones are hardware-based unlocks?
Damn I wish I was in Australia right now (or had someone I know there)... cheap unlocked iPhone 3G, contract cancellation after one month, then import to here. Unlocked and would still be pretty cheap...
As for the unlock being hardware, I also don't think that's the case. My sister's iPhone will just require a unlock code (provided by Vodafone Australia) to be entered for it to be unlocked. Doesn't sound like a hardware unlock to me.
As for contract cancellation in Oz (or any where for that matter), you would have to pay for the remaining time left on your contract. So not much cheaper.
thanks
The only thing you downloaded from this page is the torrent file that enables you to download the actual program. For that you need a bittorrent program like utorrent or a similar one.
So do like this:
1 - Search and install a bittoreent program like utorrent (free of charge).
2 - Download the file from this page and utorrent (or similar) will automatically open and start the download
3 - Unzip the program from the zip file and run it.

Hey I know, why don't you guys just combine the apps together into one clean package. So depending on what the user wants out of it, he'll be set.
But now I have another problem... an issue with the Phone application... when I launch it, it starts up but there are no titles under the icons (ie. Contacts, Recent, Favorites & Voicemail), after about 1 second it crashes & goes back to the home screen. I'm not able to dial any number, check recent calls or voicemail.
I can receive calls though, but when I'm on a call I no longer see the 'current call' screen (W/ photo, phone number, hold, time of call, etc). It stays on the home screen with the green 'Touch to return to call' bar at the top. But when I click that green bar nothing happens, making it impossible to end a call.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?
just updated to 2.2 ! no problems everything working fine.i didn't updated my 2G iphone from itunes. used pwnagetool and created costume firmware selected the option not PWNAGED before.
everything went fine :)
Is the baseband easily upgradable after the 2.2 software has been installed?
thanks!

As for downloading custom FW, I find that a little dodgy and would be cautious to install anything like that on my iPhone. Use a friend's Mac to build your own custom FW with Pwnage if you only have a PC.
I am in the same position but I already upgraded to 2.2 via iTunes 8.0.2. I bought my 3G in Dubai too but now the Phone is Locked. In fact, when you upgrade via iTunes, it shows the message "Simcard installed cannot activate (sorry my itunes version is in French so I translate) the iPhone etc..." and the 3G is on Emergency call.
When you quickpwn it, the iPhone become unlocked but you see a "No Service" message (you have a beautiful Ipod Touch !).
I re-upgraded and re-QuickPwn 5 times with the same result. The bosses from "www.frenchiphone.com" cannot explain this fact. They told me that is unusual.
I don't know what to do.
Sounds like you may have an iPhone that is not factory unlocked and by upgrading to 2.2 you have locked your iPhone.
I have a doubt. Is it possible to unlock an iPhone 3G that is bought with the 2.2 firmware bundled?!!
Anyways, is it possbile to unlock an iPhone 3G that was bought on 2.2 already or that was simply updated
to 2.2?!!
There was another way people were getting around the SIM lock on 3G iPhones. The were using SIM emulators/proxy/adapters (such as TurboSIM, RebelSIM, etc.) but this method is buggy at best. Now with the 2.2 FW update, the baseband is updated and as a result these SIM proxies/emulators do not work on 2.2.
So, the only way at this point in time to have an unlocked 3G iPhone running 2.2 is to buy a factory unlocked one. This situation may change very soon.
No there is no Sim-emulator. My carrier Sim is inserted as is. I tried few other Sim that worked before upgrading. Note that I upgraded from 2.1 and before from 2.0.2. Note also that in 2.1 when I put the phone in Airplane mode, I could not recover the signal when put it in Airplane off again.
Did you jailbreak your 3G? If you did, did you make sure the "activate" was unchecked? Did you try resetting your network settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings)?
If you are confident that it is a factory (Apple) unlocked iPhone, then try doing a restore to 2.2. Don't jailbreak, and see if these network issues still persist.
I have a factory unlocked 3G and when I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 it went off without a glitch. No network/connection issues whatsoever. I just did the update through iTunes. Good luck.
i only have a PC and MAC is not so popular here in India so nobody has it....donno wat to do...
do u know any authentic link to download the custom firmware...
also u missed tellin me that 2.2 version will work on 1.45 baseband or not.
as i have 1.45 on my iphone 3g 2.0
2.2 should work on the old baseband IF you build a custom FW using Pwnage that does no upgrade the baseband to 02.28.00
to be sure 2.2 will work on 1.45baseband (2.0)....and there's no need for an unlock...
i think it shud work as the problem is only with baseband update and here we r not updating the baseband.
but if 2.1 has a differet baseband then 2.0 which i think it is, then it might get stuck....
pls assist whether i shuld go ahead or wait for somebody to upload custom firmware that can upgrade 2.0 to 2.2 directly.
I restored my 2G iPhone with 2.2 iTunes firmware. Then I used QckPwn for Mac to unblock it. It all went ok, then I connected it to iTunes again and ask it to set up as a new phone and sync with my music and contacts, which it did but I don't have a signal from my carrier!!! What do I do? During the process I never took the SIM out!
Please help me! I can't afford to be iphone-less!!
Thank you from Portugal
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Restart iPhone. I know this has worked for people experiencing wifi, BT, and carrier issues. It worked getting EDGE working again on my 2G iPhone.
Warning: This will reset all your network settings and all the wifi networks that you have stored in your iPhone will be erased. You will have to key in your wifi passwords again.
If I upgrade is it going to be OK?
I have a 3G Iphone which is on 2.1 it has been Jailbroken and works brilliantly I want to upgrage to 2.2 but not sure which PwnageTool to use or how if honest as I am not very clued up on this and really dont want to loose all the ace applications on my phone, I am in th UK ... am assuming if I just upgrade to 2.2 through itunes it will delete al me applications from cydia etc ??
Thanks for any help or advise in advance !
Tens que usar a ultima versão do iTunes. A 8.0.2.
1abraço
You have to use the latest iTunes version. The 8.0.2.
Greetings from Portugal.
Mas como ninguem me respondia acabei por fazer 2 coisas, actualizei o iTunes e como estava a fazer isto no trabalho a rede não me deixava ligar ao iTunes para registar o SIM. quando me liguei pela placa 3G e com o iTunes actualizado consegui logo.
Muito Obrigado pela tua ajuda.
I had the same problem, but I think there were 2 issues, because I was updating without internet connection. "You must have internet connection for the SIM to register, I Think" and I was updating throw iTunes 8.0.1 instead of 8.02.
Thank you all for helping me.
I snap the picture through camera but it is not saving in my camera roll or even any where.
I restarted the iphone but it did not work. Can any body can help me.
I have an iPhone 3G with O2 UK and have no wish to use any other carrier now or at any time in the future, I use Windows XP and have already jailbroke with 2.1 and just simply like to download unoffical apps using Installer and Cydia etc.
Now are we saying that I can or cannot upgrade to 2.2, given I only have windows, and currently have a jailbroke 2.1 installed?
And if I can how should I do it, should I use iTunes then QuickPwn2.2?
I do appologise if this post annoys some of you but I am very concerned by some of the comments here that say 'If you have an iPhone 3G and upgrade to 2.2 its all over and you may as well bin your phone' do I assume this only applies to people who wish to use a non standard carrier.
Also am I right in sayin that i will have to re-download and install all my unofficial apps? I have seen some utilites that claim to save and retore these apps or their settings etc but can anyone reccomend something, would I need different utilities for Installer apps and Cydia apps or is there something that suits all?
If you have your iPhone locked to O2 and you dont wish to soft-unlock it, then you should just upgrade to FW 2.2 and then do the quickpwn.
All the warnings goes to the persons that want a soft-unlock in the near future. Along with the new FW 2.2 comes a upgrade to the Baseband that, for now, dev team is saying that all the vulnerabilities they found on the previous Baseband don't apply to the new one.
In concerne to the apps the only thing you can do is install a app called appbackup that you can use to restore the apps after the FW update and the quickpwn.
Greetings from Portugal.
So to clarify, if I did want to keep the ability to soft-unlock at some time in the far off future (perhaps when I get a new phone and wish to use this iPhone 3G as a backup on a pay-as-you-go sim or something) then I would have to wait until a Pwnage2.2.1 tool is availiable under windows, and use that to create the neccesary firmware file, or alternatively download a firmware file that someone else has created with a Mac specifically for an iPhone 3G on O2 UK?
Also could you confirm that AppBackUp will only backup and restore Cydia apps or will it do both Installer and Cydia apps?
Like I said before along with the new FW 2.2 comes a upgrade to the Baseband that, for now, dev team is saying that all the vulnerabilities they found on the previous Baseband don't apply to the new one.
This doesn't mean that they wont be able to do it in the future, it just says that they wont be able to do it in A NEAR future.
In what concern apps where is the explanation for ApTbackup:
"If you have Apps you've downloaded from Cydia, AptBackup by Chris Featherstone will make a list of all of your Cydia Apps then back that list up. When you restore your iPhone and iTunes, run AptBackup's restore in order to find and reinstall all of your packages."
The ApPbackup does the same thing but to apps you got from the iTunes store.
Greetings from Portugal.
You probably will have to reinstall your apps manually. 'Aptbackup' in cydia was the solution to this - it didnt work for me during the 2.1 --> 2.2 update though, I don't know if anyone else had problems with it.
I now have put my iPhone in dfu mode and plugged it back into itunes. itunes now wants me to upgrade the firmware to 2.2. i'm a little bit worried now because i heard all this bad stuff about the new baseband and really don't want my iphone not to be unlockable.
so what's the next steps i gotta go? is it secure to update the firmware? and what am i supposed to do afterwards?
You have to use a custom FW following the steps provided by devteam on the beginning of this post.
Greetings from Portugal.
damn guys i want to use 2.2, too.. just because of f*****g windows
I bought my iPhone near a Dubai related shop that told me that the phone was factory unlocked. I bought it in a closed box with a strip around that shows it has never been opened. When I upgraded from 2.0.1 (initial fw) to 2.1, the phone became locked and when I QuickPwned it, it re-became unlocked but with no wifi. I brought the Phone to the shop and they replaced it. I upgraded (from 2.0.2 to 2.1) and the same problem occured but when I QuickPwned it, I had my carrier and my wifi (except when I put it in Airplane mode, I did not recover my carrier signal).
Now I upgraded to 2.2 and the phone is Locked. I QuickPwned it and it became unlocked but no carrier signal. I reinitialized the carrier settings but the problem is not solved. I brought it again to the shop and they don't understand. Seems like the Dubai iPhone have some problems. Did you hear about that ?
thank you for the job
The only problem is all the things you described are the ones from a locked iPhone.
Just a question. Is your iPhone 2G or 3G?
Greetings from Portugal.
Is your iPhone 2G or 3G?
If your iPhone is a 3G unlocked by factory default you can just plug it to iTunes and do the upgrade with the official FW 2.2 from Apple and then use the QuickPwn, inthe case of you wanting to install third party apps.
We need a little more information in order to answer you with precision.
Greetings from Portugal.
Thanks
Thing is I tried to revert to 2.1 with the old baseband, and I saw a command in the log saying :
force_baseband_update = 0.
Anyone know to turn that to 1 ?
I`m pretty sure that would allow downgrading the baseband.
That really wouldnt work.
http://store.apple.com/hk/browse/home/shop_ipho...
There are enterprising people out there who are buying factory unlocked iPhones from these countries and selling them online. These would probably be the most expensive option usually costing more than USD1000.
AptBackup would be a whole lot more useful for upgrades if it still existed after an upgrade :-)
Thanks in advanced and sorry about my English.
However, I'm hearing that those of us that upgraded their iPhone 3G to the new firmware 2.2 won't be able to use Proxy SIMS for the time being. Unfortunate for me, but I had already upgraded before looking into unlocking the phone :(
So there is no way to get unlocked iPhone 3G service with firmware 2.2, correct? If someone could confirm, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
thanks
one is on 2.0, one is on 2.1 and one is on 2.2
the sims are all fine as I have tried them in other phones
I think Apple must have done a sly tweak
I update my 1.4 firmware to 2.2 and I used QuickPwn_2.2, everything went fine and everything is working now except the phone line, I don't get the signal. it recognizes the sim and the correct pin, but it is not getting the line.
CAN YOU HELP ME?? PLEASE.... :-(
Update seemed to work really well, except now I don't have any phone signal :(
You're fooked.
btw, azureus says: Scrape Error: Connection Timed Out: Connect (IO) for whatever that means.
Had to dl it from mirrors =S

You might as well update, the automatic update won't do it for some reason so you have to go download it from the Firefox site...
I am scared to run the update first for fear that I will brick this thing.
What is the exact protocol that I should be following? Is QuickPwn saying this BECAUSE I have never used QuickPwn before, just PwnageTool?
Could someone answer this? I am soooo confused.
Please answer.
Thanks a lot
Okay so I have a jailbroken 3G 16Go iphone 2.1 firmware, and i just want to update it to 2.2 without loosing all the data i already have and i really don't wanna reinstall everything once i upgrade the iphone...
How do i do? Will pownage tool delete and restore everything that is already on my iphone...
Please help!
thanks
I have annother iPhone 3G in my office and (I think this is 2.1) and now the same thing happens this one too.
it is not the bypass sim as this works in other handsets so what has Apple done and how can i make my phones work??
Finally when will we be able to unlock the 3G iPhone using Windoze?
Cheers
There is NO unlock for the 3G at this point in time however the Dev Team is very close.
What have Apple done and how can I get round this?
Just like me.
If you get stuck in the reboot stage at the end of the quickpwn process, then try restoring the original software using itunes and set up as new iphone, then retry quickpwn. Worked for me.
Can you go backwards to the 2.1 baseband if you've already installed 2.2? And then use QuickPwn on the 2.2 FW to unlock without the baseband?
I updated my iPhone 1st Gen (previously PwnageTool'd with firmware 2.1) to 2.2 using iTunes... and rather strangely I've found it to still be unlocked without having to use QuickPwn or PwnageTool again! Anyone else found this? Or is it normal behaviour?!
Had a few hiccups on the way, but knowing is pretty hard to brick the iphone, i was confident i'd get there in the end.
- was at 2.1 so after downloading the 2.2 firmware and bootfiles i installed latest itunes and when it asked I shift+click the restore button and used the 2.2. I then got stuck for an hour with the usb=>itunes graphic, but managed to kick it out again and used quickpwn on windows - everything worked!!!
Thanks again
Scarab
I hope the devteam find a solution to this soon... an Iphone it's a very expensive piece of hardware for use it as an itouch2...
well greetings... if you guys know where can I donate to help your research, let me know... I'm more than willing to do it...
ohh and by the way I didn't had it hacked (jailbreaked) it was all original... because I was affraid of things like this... who would have said that they would attack the hardware hackers instead than software... my proxy sim is useless... :(
especially if like me you have a folder in which you have cydia, installer, and all the core hacking apps...
I'm now having to do a full restauration etc which is a real nightmare
I used pwnagetool on mac to jailbreak(previously jailbroken 2.1 3g) and it went through. however, I didnt get any signal(failed)
I redid it on another windows xp(i restored it back to 2.1 using a normal restore) then quickpwned it.
then i restored it again to 2.2 using ITUNES.
however, after i restored it to 2.2, it was working fine!!!!!
I don't know why but i believe the phone should be locked as i used the itunes updater.
anyways, does anyone know why this happened?
share your comments wowcheesestick@gmail.com
(I downloaded the Pwnage tool from here and verified the sha1 key)
But if you restore from iTunes and try again it should work.
iphone 2g( first generation) with 2.1 pwnaged was working smooth. then it gave the freeze today with the apple logo on boot without any response for more than 15 minutes
decided to update to 2.2, ran pwnage 2.2.1, customized firmware, saved my .psw file, ran itunes 8.0.2 with option clicking restore button and choosing my customized firmware, now after itunes telling me that it is restoring the iphone, it gives error, tells me to again restore the iphone, and the iphone is yet still in DFU mode and won't come back.
nneed urgent hep on this.
options i think of:
1) downgrade to itunes 7.7 and iphone 1.1.4 (or whatever) again
2)break the damn machine apart, cos it wont instal the un-customized .ipsw either, giving me some other error code
!!!!
=( please help
( the iphone is still staring at me with the apple logo then dfu mode and restarting in this loop.)
and i just tried downgrading to 1.1.4 too, following guideline (dowlnoading itunes 7.7 , 7.5 and all the others) in this link http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46198
the iphone is still unrecoverable, wih the itunes and usb cable on its screen, and itunes giving me errors like 20 (restoring original 1.1.4) 60 and stuff
>=(
now i'm thinking the worst, is the hardware damaged?
How do i make my phone work within India using any sim. Currently there is no 3G in India only GSM.
I attempted to use 2.2.1 Pwnage tonight on my AT&T 3G iPhone (whicjh was at 2.1).
All seemed to work fine, but after the restore, the phone starts up the pwnapple image and then restarts after about 5 seconds. I have tried several times to restore, each time creating a new custom restore filer. No joy. I checked and rechecked the instructions and the process and didn't miss anything.
I attempted to restore with 2.1 in iTunes (8.0.2, as instructed) but got got the dreaded unknown error(1)) failure.
Also, I noticed that while the standard 2.2 ipsw is 246.4MB in size, the custom restore ipsw out of PwnageTool 2.2.1 is only 236.3 MB. Is this correct?
Any suggestions?
BIll
You can get out of restore and you WILL have 2.1
I know so because I just happened to me. Then you can jailbreak and download a custom 2.2 firmware and you got it made.
Email me if anything... maaangler@gmail.com
and followed all the steps as you list them...and l jailbreak the iphone, installer works properly...but cydia DOES NOT work anymore...and a'm sad 'cause l thoungh l could have the same as the 2.1 firm....
l just want to know what could l do to make cydia work again.
just appears the page that says (graphic ....) (commander....)
and then it's gone to the homescreen...
Well 8th time is the charm. I only changed to NOT activate the iPhone and re-built one last time. This time the "DFU mode" screen appeared from Pwnage and the restore worked and all is running!
I'm not certain if it was the DFU mode properly being entered, or the "Activate" being de-selected - or both.
BTW< we ALL appreciate what you do! I can't wait for the 3G unlock!!!

After spending quite a few hours on the phone with my GSM carrier and Apple, I've decided to write here hoping that someone might be able to enlighten me. Here's the scenario:
Carrier X in country Y offers the iPhone 3G from Apple. Johnny doesn't want to get stuck with carrier X for two years (iPhone contract) so he decides to buy his iPhone off a dude from craigslist. Now, Johnny is pretty impressed because the iPhone comes brand new, sealed, never touched by the actual carrier on which network the device is locked. Johnny gets super excited and he buys it. After he goes home, he pulls out the phone just to find that it comes with a SIM card that is not activated but it belongs to carrier X. Now, he's not able to make phone calls with that SIM card. He throws in his good old Prepay SIM and voila, it works.
Now, this is my case. Any idea how that guy might have gotten his hands on those brand new, sealed (I'm dead serious, those boxes were not resealed or anything, they came directly from Apple) devices?
Aren't those supposed to be retailed in the store and when Jack drops by to buy one, the sales person will open the package and follow whatever activation procedure they have?
The GSM provider on which's network my iPhone is locked was not able to give me any information in regards to my GSM terminal. Initially they told me that based on my IMEI they can track it down but that's it. They gave me a number, I called they told me that's not possible, they can't do it, they never heard about it but they can sell me a plan for only 29.99 (mecries)
Where can I get information about my device based on its serial/imei/whatever number?!
Is it the GSM carrier that locks the device on their network or is it Apple that ships them already locked?
would it be possible to image the baseband firmware from a factory unlocked iPhone (Belgium,France,Italy,Hong Kong) to a factory locked iPhone?
I'd really appreciate some concrete answers to my questions. Yes I googled around. No, I was not satisfied with the answers. Thanks in advance.
What network are you on. What network was the SIM that came with the phone? What country are you in? And WTF do you actually want to know?
You can do a search by the model of your iPhone in here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937?locale=zh_TW
In what baseband in concerned the thing you said drives to nowhere. If you put a Baseband from a factory unlocked iPhone in a locked one, this last will remain the same... locked.
It is not my case, but some questions you are proposing are interestings.
I thought my iphone was not carrier locked when I bought it. I was using the Gevey turbo sim, and don't worried about this. But now, with the baseband updated and my iphone in "not service" mode, I'm not sure if this is true or what.
I think Apple and the telephone companies are not doing good policy. But is his bussines.
I am also interested in your questions. If I found new information, I will post here.
Enjoy your toy.
I think the real question you have to make is if you are having any problems with the dropped calls till the FW 2.1.
In my case I don't even remember of having a dropped call, so I rather wait for possible soft-unlock made by de devteam in my FW 2.1.

3G iPhone FW2.2:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content...
Used your pwnagetool 2.1 to jailbrake my phone a while back and wanted to say thanks for some great work.
I have a 16GB 3g 2.1 modem 02.11.07 and was wondering if it was possible to unlock by downgrading to 2.0.2? Is that possible and or advisable?
Really appreciate your help
Is it worth upgrading to 2.2? I'm pretty happy with the running of 2.1
As for 2.2 FW, it adds stability to Safari, with enhancements to Mail, & Maps (Google Street View). Decrease in drop-calls and set-up failures (I've had no problems with dropped calls pre-2.2) Also you can download podcasts, and AppStore has had a bit of a facelift. All-in-all, not anything that you will sorely miss if you forego the update for now.
Here's my situation, I'll try to be as concise as I can:
Bought my iPhone 3G via contract on Irelands O2 network.
Ended up moving back to the states a few weeks ago.
I have an old account with AT&T that was still active, and I had them put all the iPhone data plan stuff on. (UNLIMITED DATA, VisVoiceMail, etc)
Bought a TURBO SIM for the 3G.
Now here's my issue:
I can make and receive calls AND texts, but I have intermittent EDGE access. (rarely) And NO 3G access. (WiFi works fine...but you know...data would be sweet when I'm out the house)
Keep in mind it is TURBO-SIM'd.
AND another 3G phone of mine, (a Samsung Blackjack, and my friends LG Shine phone) both get strong 3G signals. And both are on the ATT network.
When I take OUT the AT&T card, and place the old Irish O2 NETWORK SIM in, AND turn on ROAMING, 3G turns on like a champ.
Any ideas, workarounds or solutions guys? Feel free to email suggestions to McLanguage76@Gmail.Com

Why do you expect a European iPhone, designed to work on 2100Mhz as this is the Frequency used for 3G throughout Europe, to work on AT&T which uses 850/1900 for both GSM and 3G?
First of all, if you don't want to email me. Then don't. It's your option. Some people prefer to help on the sidelines. Accept it, there's no need to nit-pick all that you don't like in the world.
Re-read what I wrote. When I use my O2 Ireland sim card in my O2 purchased iPhone here in the states, 3G works fine over the American AT&T network. So it's obviously not a hardware issue of not being able to TX on a proper RF, as opposed to using a 3G iPhone on T-Mobiles 3G network.
Thanks for playing. Goodnight!

It doesn't sound like its the iPhone but actually your TurboSIM. in my experience, unlocking with a TurboSIM or any sort of SIM proxies/emulators, is sketchy at best. I've had friends who used them when OOTB 1.1.4 came out and you couldn't soft-unlock. I also have friends that are using them to unlock 3G and they tell me their iPhones often hang and a whole host of other problems.
How long have you had your Irish iPhone? Maybe if its less than 3 months old you could talk to Apple explaining your extenuating circumstances and they might swap it out for a Yankee iPhone. Then when the software unlock is released you can unlock it that way instead of farting around with SIM emulators. Either that or hang on for a bit as the Dev Team will soon be releasing their 3G unlock. Just my 2¢
Try to reset your network settings and then restart the phone. Maybe that will do the trick.
Keep in mind that after this procedure you'll need to retype all your wifi keys.
Your problem is not he FW upgrade but the Baseband upgrade.
At this time there is no way to downgrade the Baseband.
The only problem is the Caller ID is not right.......still waiting for a fix...
Anyone knows the solution for it on iPhone 2.2?
Pls send any suggestions to: denni@operamail.com
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Denni
At this time there is no way to downgrade your Baseband.
This is hell. My iphone is then useless. But there must be away soon or what do you think..??
the dev team is aware of this issue. dev team pls..!
thanks for the support..!
Regards,
Denni
At this point dev team is close to soft-unlock of iPhones that have the baseband up to 2.11.07.
They looked at the new Baseband, 2.28.00, and found that all holes they found in the previous one don't apply here.
I can only say the same thing I write previously to another user:
You have two hopes:
1 - The dev team figures out a way to revert the baseband upgrade made by Apple. As they already posted, they will not, actively, be looking for this.
2 - The companies that sell the sim proxys work a way around, so these type of solution begins to work with the new Baseband 2.28.00.
I kinda messed up bad. I upgraded to 2.2 and have been out of service since. My phone is unlocked with the shadow sim and now the device is worthless.
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!
send comments to hsabry4@hotmail.com
thanks world
now i know im stuck but do i wait/look for anything specific?
cheers mate

Correct me if im wrong, but any baseband above 01.45 will not be supported unless there is a baseband downgrade available.. right?
Meli from Costa Rica.
I made the same mistake by updgrading, and now I have no service.
Does the phone still work with At&t?
If the iPhone was originaly locked to AT&T than yes. But you cannot put another SIM from any other carrier... at least until dev team founds a way to either revert the new BB update or some holes in the new BB.
I upgraded with your tool to 2.2 and I have furious-unlocked phone 3G. I did this on a mac and everything is fine. But this morning I tried to synchronize with outlook with my pc at work (worked befor with 2.1) itunes is telling me it can not recognize my iphone. XP is make the sound like USB plugin plugout and after maybe 5 tries my iphone restarts. Is this a known buck? What can I do? Only downgrade to 2.1? Thanks a lot for your work so far, everything worked perfect. But I need to synchronize my adresses and calenders.

So, when QuickPwn 2.2 came out, I was ready to try again. I swear my iPhone must be cursed because the same thing happened last night. The only thing that was suspicious is that during the QuickPwn process (once the phone was placed into recovery mode) iTunes opened. Is this why the final install process failed? I had to restore from backup again last night and I am loath to try this again until I understand why it keeps failing. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
regrads from germany :-)
Habe QuickPWM für Microsoft runter geladen.Doch dann lässt es sich nicht weiter ausführen.Hast du da irgendwelche Tipps für mich oder mache ich etwas falsch?
Grüße und Danke
The say the y3g suports the 2.2 baseband.
If I sent my iPhone for a repair to apple, will they update it?!!!
Or if they decide to send me a new one, will it be a 2.2?!!!
And if they send me an new one could it be possible that it's an unlocked one? (Ahah, why not?)
That doesn't say it supports the new FW2.2. Its only the presentation to their simcard programer.
I gave a quick look and they don't even reefer to the new 2.2 FW anywhere in the site.
Still with you guys anyway !
Go Dev Team
So, I have a locked, jailbroken iPhone 3G FW 2.1 from Orange, a french carrier.
They are, by law, obliged to unlock my iphone after 6 months, and so i'll want them to unlock it. I'm supposing that'll be a factory unlock, and doesn't concern the baseband version...
But yet, I'd like to know if I upgrade my iPhone 3G to FW 2.2, with the baseband upgrade, will my carrier be able to unlock it after this 6 months have passed?
Thanks a lot
Felipe.
Question is... I don't care about most of the extraneous features for browsing, games, email, etc... just using the phone, music, movies, and some of my own applications... problem is with iTunes... it locks out the phone saying it has an invalid SIM card and won't allow me to access the phone through iTunes anymore unless I put the original card back in... Don't want to have to do that all the time and risk damaging the shadow card, so is there something I can do that will allow connectivity to iTunes again?
PS... every time I try and connect to iTunes, it does want to upgrade the software in the iPhone but I've denied it every time... current software version is 2.0.1 (5B108)
Thanks in advance.
Captain Rick
well!
what I used to do is plain simple, just set airplane mode on plug in your iphone to your computer and itunes will recognise it ;-)
be sure that you set airplane mode before running itunes or pluging your iphone to your computer...
you are welcome in advance.
I also forgot that iPod's will only sync with one computer and I just switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro, that's why I want to get everything set up as well as possible. I must admit the only thing I'm disturbed about with Apple so far is they are so intent on locking us exclusively to their devices in so many ways. Ended up wiping my iPhone clean so I can start fresh with the new Mac, but now I've even lost my ringtones that I had to generate with special software on my PC because Apple feels I shouldn't even be allowed to use my own music for ringtones... what's up with that???
These unlocks that everyone keeps talking about, will they help me get around some of these problems so I can at least put what I want on the device I paid so dearly for? I'm must admit to being reluctant to wanting to do anything with a danger of damaging the phone... living on a sailboat in the Caribbean, I'm not exactly in a place I can run to a cellphone shop for help if it goes down. I already have the SIM bypass, I'd just like to be able to unlock some of these features that keep me tied to them exclusively... is that what the jailbreak I saw mentioned is about, and will it let me hook up to iTunes with the shadow card installed on a different SIM? Is there any risk of losing the phone service when using any of them? Sorry for all the newbie questions, everything Apple is new to me, and now I'm in deep! Thanks again.
Capt Rick
Thanks.
Then only chance is to getting your hands on a MAC and do your custom ipsw. Than you can go over to your PC and do the rest os the procedure from there.
But if you want a soft-unlock in the near future DON'T use QuickPwn without previously updating your iPhone with a custom FW that carries the old BB 02.11.07 (But this step you can make in a Windows PC).
Sorry. Nothing you can do for now. You have to wait for dev team find some hole in the new BB or a way to revert the new Baseband to the old one.
But until now there is no way to downgrade the Baseband.
Thanks Dev Team!!!
Thank you
As far as we know all the BB up to 02.11.07, witch means all official FW from Apple until 2.1.
Dev team is working on 1.45.00, but the holes they found on that BB go all the way up to the 02.11.07.
According to them the new 02.28.00 has that holes already covered by Apple.
is there any way to make it with out calling?!
Bye!
Does anyone know how close the dev team is to unlocking the 3G? It would be a GREAT help as I'm about to shell out $600 for a no-contract iPhone 3G, and I won't be able to use it here without the unlock. Estimated time of arrival: Dec 18th. Any idea if the unlock should be here by then? That's three fundays...
By the way, if I were to pay $200 plus contract, then a month later cancel the contract for $175, it would be cheaper than paying $600, but I've heard it affects credit history! Is that at all true???
Thanks guys we owe you :D
Just what is the rush to go ahead & upgrade to 2.2? Obviously for the vast majority of us, 2.1 has worked just fine. Most of the tweaks & improvements that 2.2 offers can be found/downloaded from Cydia, except maybe GoogleMaps Street View. I think that it would be better just to wait until all the kinks are worked out with that new update before subjecting yourselves to all the pain & suffering that we've been reading about the last few days here. I think that the Dev Team are second to none, but on the flip side, the came out with with the Pwnage Tool & QuickPwn in a very short amount of time. They even had to issue updates because of all the hiccups that this upgrade creates. Don't be hasty, remember, less is more. Instead of jumping @ the opportunity to upgrade for no obvious benefit, I think it'd be better to wait & see what else comes up. I'd rather wait for them to develop the soft unlock for the 3G & even then I'll wait @ least a couple of weeks before I install it on mine. I'd rather wait & see what the guinea pigs in this forum experience before I go ahead & mess up an otherwise pretty much working iPhone 3G...just my 2 cents.
On that note,
Thank you for all your work, diligence & patience Dev Team; it is very much appreciated.
Most people that I see having problems are the ones that did not read how they would lose the hardware unlock, which they now lost. That has nothing to do with PWNAGE.
On the other hand, yes ... you can wait and play it safe, but from my point of view, it's safe already.
So, I have an locked, but jailbroken iPhone 3G FW2.1 from Orange, a french carrier.
Here the carriers must unlock the phones 6months after we bought it, and so i'll make them unlock my iphone.
I think this is a "factory" style unlock, and so, not affected by the baseband upgrade, but i'm not sure.
If i upgrade my iphone to the FW2.2 with the baseband upgrade, will they be able to unlock it?
tks in advance.
Felipe
yeah, i think i'll make the upgrade =)
if anyone else has more precise info, i'd like to hear it!
cheers
If the carrier is obligated by law, like in Brasil, to unlock the phone, than doesnt matter what FW or BB
you have in your phone.
If you are sure that they have to unlock your iPhone than just upgrade with the officlal FW from Apple and then use the QuickPwn is you want third party apps.
eles são obrigados a desbloquear o telefone aqui na frança também, mas só depois de 6 meses depois que vc comprou o telefone.
abraços.
thanks for your help, Cofi.
they're obligated to unlock it in france too, but only 6 months after you bought it.
cya
any people used Pwnage tool on a locked (SIM-locked) iPhone 3G with a SIM Proxy and it still works?
Is it possible to downgrade from a 2.2 to a 2.1 when you still have a old baseband (1.48.02)?
Thanks!
Thanks again you lot....
Best from Norway...
I just love my Iphone......

I have a 3G iPhone FW 2.1, locked but jailbroken ... and in no rush to but very interested in updating to fw2.2!
Question (dumb or not, just give me a quick answer pls.): - will all my non-native apps (not from Apple) be preserved once/after I update it?! Or are they a goner and I'll have to reinstall them one by one (after re-jailbreaking the phone)?!
Thanks a lot! ...
SIG
PS: - and many thanks to all who care to answer to these sometimes clueless people that post in here ... me included!!! (i.e. echo, cofi, confucious ... )
Good job!!!
I'll definitely install aptbackup and try using it ... once i do this! Kinda' ready to now, but I'll wait a while longer ...
'Cause what I'd really like to know is, I guess, how close these "geniuses" really are to unlocking the 3G?!! ... Lots of optimism in here about it happening soon I see ... but no definite answer on that from anybody in charge, I reckon! It would be nice to unlock the phone first ... and then maybe (by a miracle) the upgrade will still keep it unlocked, as i read some comments below of people that had that happen to them (albeit with 2G iPhones apparently) ... I have no clue how the locking of this devices really really works and no one says much about it in here either! It's a big mastery ... ;) wtf!
You can install that first then run a backup within that.
That will create a catalogue of your installed Cydia apps and back the catalogue up into itunes. When you upgrade to 2.2 and jailbreak, install cydia then install aptbackup. Run the restore from there and as I understand it, your apps will be backed up.
That's my understanding anyway. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong.
I'm in the process of trying it as I type!
I hoped it worked for you ...
One thing though: what do u mean by backing up the catalog (once created) in iTunes?! How?!
SiG
thx
Can someone help? I think this is a different issue but I also had categories installed from jailbreak 2.1 and didn't realize I needed to "unhide" apps listed in there, so I am missing some apps that were in folders, but not settings and I think this is an issue that I can fix once I have jailbroken 2.2.
Thx.
Is there anyway to create an .ipsw on a Mac with Pwnage and use it on a Windows PC to upgrade the 3G iphone safely without it having the Baseband updated?
Also - when using Pwnage, is there anything special that i would need to do in order to make sure that the Baseband is not updated? Or do i just run the simple mode with the new 2.2.1 pwnage and it shouldnt update the Baseband?
Thank You!
PwnageTool automatically removes the baseband update from all custom 3G ipsw's.
FOR 3G IPHONE
So after i create a custom .ipsw on a Mac using Pwnage - Are these the steps for me to use on a PC?
1. Restore using Custom .ipsw
2. After Restore use QuickPwn 2.2 to Jailbreak?
3. Thats it?
Thanks Again!
Just be sure to hold down the Shift key (in Windows iTunes) when you click "restore". If you don't do that, you'll end up with the Apple one, which you want to stay clear of.
- download but not install 2.2 firmware via itunes
- download pwnage, make custom firmware via expert mode with 1024MB root partition
- enter DFU mode (sanity check please: power off, power on with home button held down)
- restore using itunes with custom firmware via option-click on Restore
- restore from backup, _not_ as "new iphone"
and I had "No Service" for the phone. It is jailbroken etc. It is _not_ using a unlocked SIM/turboSIM etc.
I'm now doing a DFU ordinary restore with the standard Apple firmware as a _new_ iPhone instead of restoring from backup and I have my VodaAU logo back and full signal; it's still doing the sync of the standard apps so I have yet to verify this. If ok, I'm going to proceed to try a DFU restore with the custom firmware again as a new iphone and report.
I know that this is changing several things at once, and hope to report back with more data soon.
meanwhile, can someone please clarify to me what the "new iPhone" option in the restore menu means, versus the restore from backup approach? Exactly what gets done differently in these two routes?
- Cameron
When I got my factory unlocked 3G in Hong Kong, I just synced with iTunes and did a restore from backup so that all the user settings from my 2G iPhone would be transferred to the 3G. This worked flawlessly for me and it even "remembered" my "hacked" carrier name as opposed to the actual carrier name (I changed the carrier name to "echo" using Erica Sadun's MiM on my 2G).
Cheers in advance to anyone offering advice and help
If you have bought your iPhone in Italy then it comes factory unlocked.
If this is correct you can just upgrade your FW to 2.2 using iTunes and the official Apple FW. Your phone will still be unlocked.
Quickpwn doesn't install any FW, it only searches your current FW in order to jailbrake it. The program that instals the FW's is iTunes and the one who builds them is the PwnageTool.
If you want to upload a different FW to your iPhones than you should just click SHIT+RESTORE (from inside the iTunes and after you connected your iPhone to your PC) and choose the FW you want.
Am I missing something?
i leave in italy and i cannot use like a phone??
1) Is there any way to SAFELY downgrade from Modem F/W 02.11.07 to 1.45.00? Given that I dont think you can,
2) Can I SAFELY use PWNTOOL 2.2.1 and keep Modem F/W 02.11.07? The documentation I have seen says the Modem F/W should be at 1.45.00 when using pwntool 2.2.1. I think this is because this is the version that the dev team is working to unlock. I'm okay if I have to wait to unlock 2.11.07, but I do want to jailbreak my phone and move to Iphone version 2.2, and keep Modem f/w 2.11.07.
Will this work?
Thanks
You can use Pwnagetool with the Baseband 02.11.07. It will perserve your BB and enables you to do a new ipsw file with the older BB.
Now, my only hope is that I will still be able to soft unlock the 2.11.07 baseband at somepoint. Does anyone know how likely it is that the solution they come up with to unlock baseband 1.45 will work with bb 2.11.07?
iphone-dev rocks!
PS - I used instructions from HACKTHATPHONE, and they were very clear and it was easy. Start with the readme at this link to get started. It has links to all the files you need. http://www.hackthatphone.com/20/read_me_first.html
NO IT ISN'T!!!
I have gone so far as to turn off the 'Sim Lock' option...
HELP PLEASE! I did the 2.2 update and proceeded to then Jailbreak the iPhone... iTunes recognized it fine before the Jailbreak WTF happened... did I miss something?
No. You just upgraded the Baseband, witch means you won't be able to use the soft-unlock dev team maybe releasing in the near future in your iPhone.
In what performance is concerned with the new Firmware and the new Baseband, that comes with it, wont be affected.
If you have the right FW does "Before Christmas" sound like a near Future to you? It sure does to me.
on an iPhone 3G (locked/working with aTurboSIM) when thinking about FW-update from 2.0.2 to 2.1 are there any precautions to take,
esp.
-is there an unwanted baseband update that should be avoided?
-should app- and apt-backup work in connection with iTunes backup?
Or better leave it on 2.0.2 as long as it works..? Never touch a running ... ;-)
Thank you in advance HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Have a nice day and take care wherever you are

need help plesae.i got a 3g iphone.i had it jailbreak-ed on 2.1.last night a buddy of mine tried to run an aplication and my phone junt bloked to favorites.i restarted and the phone just stocked on the white scerrn.no menu. funny thing is that i could answere the phone when somebody call me.i had in it a geavy sim for a romanian carrier. then if i saw that is nothing to do with i went home and tried to restore but itunes restored and updated to 2.2 firmware.right now my iphone is waiting to be activated.what can i do because i want to unlock-it later when a soft will be available.and i read about the problem with the baseband ..&shit if u update with itunes
please HELP!!
THX a lot
Kindly help
Yesterday I have updated to 2.2... used thed quickpwn 2.2.dmg...
and guess what... now I have a just a iPod Touch (litthe heavier anyway).
Is not giving any sim error... but not working the phone part.
I guess the baseband it's also an issue in 2G iphones and not as easy as told here:
"Update or Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything."
The QuickPwn for OS X currently doesn't offer that so you're better off going with a full custom IPSW via PwnageTool if you're on a Mac and upgrading your 2G from 1.1.4 to 2.2.
My query relates to Quickpwn as I have never used this before,.
If I take a Pwnd/jailbroken 2.1 iPhone 2G without any apps (app store or Cydia) and use iTunes to update to 2.2 I end up with unlocked, activated blank 2.2 iPhone 2G but it is no longer jailbroken. I then install lots of app store apps and use it like this for a few days, syncing and backing up etc via iTunes.
If I then decide I want to jailbreak the iPhone using QuickPwn what state will the iPhone be left in once Quickpwn has been run??
Will it be as it was before the Quickpwng but jailbroken or will it be a blank 2.2 jailbroken iPhone?
My question basically is, therefore, to achieve a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone 2G that is already 2.2 but without losing information or apps, can i use Quickpwn or not??
Thanks so much for the tools and keep up the good work
before 2.1. was everything ok...
You have a problem with Signature. I don't know exactly how that works because I think you should by the apps you use in your iPhone but google it and you'll have your answer pretty easy.
im searching since a couple of days right now and i cant find ANY working solution to the 2.2 incl. Hardware Unlock Card (i-smartphone). I did the big mistake uprgrading to 2.2 with Quickpawn, now my iPhone is a iPodtouch. Everything works except that i have "no signal"
My provider pops up, stays for about 5sec than i get no signal.
Did anyone hear of a working solution (downgrading) or an new hardware unlock card than please tell me. I'd like to use my iphone again:(
Thanks for all your help.
You may downgrade the whole fw version to the previous or whatever ... but the baseband part will remain the same, so it won't do u any good ..
Either wait for a future hardware unlock that works with the new baseband or ... sell it!!!
if you have a 1st gen iPhone (originally 1.1.2 OOB)
updated to 1.1.4 (in my case using Ziphone)
don't use Quickpwn 2.2! will kill the Phone features (just disappear)
use Pwnage tool, and if like me you're not a hacker, computer geek, etc. and just a plain user,
follow the iClarified guide at http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
now my iphone is back to rock!
The QuickPwn for OS X currently doesn't offer that so you're better off going with a full custom IPSW via PwnageTool if you're on a Mac and upgrading your 2G from 1.1.4 to 2.2.
Are you going to give all us locked 3g users a nice x-mas pressie??
Thanks
Please take these questions in the spirit that they were asked. I am not complaining or whining, i really appreciate that you guys are doing this as a hobby and as such the work will get done as and when you find the time. I am probably not alone when i say that i am blown away by what you have already accomplished with the Quickpwn and Pwnagetools.
Keep it up guys i'm sure you'll do it!!
Just saying hello and thank you!!!
Hopping for a funday this weekend I believe that you guys will give me my Xmas present that i asked for to Santa!!
The 3G unlocking software..... so i can go for the holiday season abroad and use my 3G with a local Sim ...last time i went abroad i used roaming and swear for never again!!! I've learned....eheheh...
Thank you for all
Regards
Thanks :)
I updated my iphone to 2.2 las friday. before that I had my 3G UNLOCK with the turbo SIM and after the update I'm not able to make phone calls, looks that this update locked my Iphone...any solutions yet to unlock Iphone 3G 2.2 so I can use it with my carrier in Argentina? PLEASE HELP!!!
At this time there's nothing no-one can do. With the new FW 2.2 comes a new Baseband (02.28.00) that cannot be hacked now or in a near future.
You will just have to wait.
my firmware is 2.0.2 with a 01.48.02 baseband.
Is it safe to update to firmware 2.1 or should I better not touch it ? I don't know if pwnage avoids a potential baseband update in fw 2.1
Thanks in advance
Happy Thanksgiving
Abbdul_Hassan
I read somewhere in this blog that the Santa-Claus is only passing by the dev team house sometime in the first two weeks of December with some brand news iPod Touch 2G .
So it's just there that they are going to start to look at that.
I've just updated my iphone 3g to firmware 2.2 and after that my phone suddenly went into emergency calls only. Then a friend tried to quickpwn it and it didnt really worked. After that, I restored it back to ver2.2, and everything went back to normal except that it didnt have any signal. Then I tried to quickpwn it again and this time it failed, and i restored it back to firmware 2.2 again. It's back to emergency calls again. Any solution to this? Please i need help.
Is it correct that I can create a custom firmware using the PwnageTool on an other Mac, copy it to my MacBook and then restore? Can somebody confirm please??
Thank you!
I tried to add a new source for Cydia in PwnageTool (Mac) and when I press REFRESH it doesn`t work, nothing happens! Anyone knows what I did wrong or other way to add personal apps in a Custom Firmware?
Thank you,
Bye.
Every time I tried to do that the result was a bad one. So now I put all my apps directly on the iPhone.
Now to my question: got my iPhone 2G with FW 2.0.1 (done with pwnage, NO quickpwn). I'm a MacBook user (actually got my new Alluminium one and sold my MB white).
As from point 6 reading: "... While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.", I'd like to ask: am I safe if I try to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.2 on my OSX 10.5.5 on Alluminium? Or would I encounter the "no-DFU" problem?
Which is the best way, in my situation, to step to 2.2 (and I'd also like to get rid of "Installer")?
Thanks in advance!
If you use PwnageTool in "advanced" mode, you can prevent Installer from being installed.
Thank you a thousand times Dev-Team and all the other people who patiently answered my questions!!!!
See you as soon as the FW 2.3 update is out, I guess ;-)
Did I go wrong hereby? :-?
free volume choice on my german iPod touch again.
Common sense would dictate not doing this.
Shut iTunes off and try it again.
But, this time: a very special THANK YOU goes to MuscleNerd...
Oh, now it seems to work again ;-)
If you're on a Mac, the QuickPwn for OS X doesn't yet include the Unlock/BootNeuter step so you'll want to use PwangeTool instead.
I have a iPhone 3G (on contract with Movistar in Spain). I followed your recipe for upgrading from 'factory' 2.1 to 2.2 with Pwnage (thus preserving the baseband). The phone has NOT been upgraded to 2.2 by iTunes. After using the custom firmware to let iTunes upgrade to 2.2, the phone did not activate. Thus, I end up with no carrier signal ("no service"). I have then downgraded to factory 2.1 using unmodified Apple firmware. The phone then activates properpy and the carrier signal is healthy again. I have since twice attempted the 2.2 upgrade (each time letting Pwnage create a new custom firmware package), but the carrier signal still fails to materialize for me under 2.2. Which I suspect is for lack of 'activation' by the phone. And each time, I can successfully downgrade to factory 2.1.
Any suggestions/comments?
If you're using advanced mode, change the selection for "Activate" under the General menu.
Odd, no? Any more suggestions? Should I attempt take the path from stock 2.1 to Pwnage 2.1 to Pwnage 2.2?
Maybe a less ambiguous choice of words in the 'General' menu (instead of simply "Activate") could be a helpful touch to PwnageTool. Also, I would suspect most 3G users would wish NOT to "activate", as most still rely on a contract (and as there is no unlock yet). So the default under Advanced may be a bit misleading to the casual user (like me).
If you actually read these posts then I would like you say that we really want to donate something to you rather than paying those guys who just sell us proxy Sims. Your work is genuine work towards our people who are using iphones.
I read that u people are just part timers in this but ur like god to us. u people don’t accept any donations. That means you only work when you are actually free from other things.
After reading all this and replies from muscle nerd and echo who claims that they are or they worked for you or vice versa. The thing i noticed after reading all this is that you people are working on iphone 3g 2.1 to sim free it. So that we people don’t have to buy those proxy sim cards. So that we save money. And you are about to launch that software before Christmas.
Thank you for this.
But what about iphone 3g 2.2 users?
what i think is that after doing this u might be working to help we people who are stuck on 2.2 who have upgrade the base band without looking at your warnings.means that we fucked our iphones and we are expecting you people to help us.
We don’t doubt ur capabilities but it will take about 30 to 50 days for you to get out of this misery. So 2009 should bring us all good news from Ur team that u broke apples fucking plan and base band thing and we all can use our sim locked iphone 3g with proxy Sims or may be we will not use any proxy Sims after Ur effort.
I’m telling you. I have packed my iphone 3g which is locked to uk o2 and I was using it in Dublin with o2 Ireland with proxy sim.so im using now nokia the beast every we can get. After that im buying theirs 5800 music express…..will use it until you get out of this ditch. I think nokia is far far far better than apple. but apple was the first so we have to respect them and still they are ahead in their game.
So im anxiously waiting for you guys to help us who are using proxy sim and updated to 2.2.
thanks
i tried to jailbreak my iphone, and it worked fine, but now the phone is in an endless loop with the apple boot logo!!!
what can i do now? or what did i do wrong?
Thx for helping!!!
Please be more specific in your inquiry. What version phone do you have?
The phone is in an endless loop because you did not follow the directions that are outlined here with whatever tool you attempted to use. Did you use Pwnage? Quickpwn? Mac? PC?
When will it be available BootNeuter 2.2?
Sissi
thanks
Had no clue WTF they were or where to find them.. lol
BUT!
Pepe sent me on a bit of a goosechase there.. lol.. He left a link for the firmware files..
We, ok at least I needed the Boot Loader..
anyhoo, I got it here.,. http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=... BUT!! thats for my iphone. its a 2G with the 2.2 firmware..
Or you can Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=... And just follow the little map.
Its Quite easy.
And BTW, HARDCORE MEGATHANX TO THE AWESOMENESS OF DEVTEAM!!!!! HELL YEAH!!
Due thanks in advance, you guys are doing a wonderful job.
I have watched videos, looked up instructions and the darn thing wont WORK!!!!
Please someone tell me what im doing wrong. Im using Photoshop CS3
Did it 2 Ways. First i created a New Layer - Placed the photo and saved as PNG 24 with Transparency checked. - No Luck
Then i opened the jpg file and did the Magic Eraser to create the Alpha Layer and saved it as a PNG 24 with Transparency Checked.
Both times image was less than 100kb and the size 320x480 Im usng RGB
Pwnage keeps telling me: Sorry that doesnt appear to be a Proper PNG File.
Any Help would be much appreciated. Thank You!
By doing so, if you need to take the phone to an apple store or AT&T for any reason (such as having the battery replaced) they won't touch your phone and you will be screwed. Twice.
Pwnage is to keep the baseband. Quickpwn won't work for that particular function.
Windows XP
jailbroken 2.1
iPhone 2G
Upgraded to 2.2 on iTunes 8. Ran Quickpwn 2.2 to (attempt) jailbreak/unlock.
My phone has been stuck on the load screen for 4 hours now. It resets about every 15 minutes only to stay on load screen. iTunes does not recognize my phone. What do i do?
The only time I had an issue like this was when I jailbroke the first time earlier this year and installed winterboard, a bunch of themes, and tried using them one after another before rebooting the phone.
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "Mine" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
Seems the Home & Power button reset cures it but, I am having to do that every time I connect to iTunes...
BALLS!
Of course, but in Brasil, as in Italy, all the phones must be unlocked by the carriers if the clients want to. That's the law over there.
In most of the countries around the world the iPhone comes locked to a carrier and there's no way to gou around that. At least until the soft-unlock by dev team.
You didn't have to activate because you did update instead of restore.
@cofi: no problem
Here's some question:
1 - Will that work apply to all BB's up to 02.11.07 ?
2 - Will there by a way to downgrade from BB 02.11.07 down to 1.45.00?
I'm using the 02.11.07 as a reference because of the obvious. The holes you guys found on the new BB doesn't apply to all the previous ones.
Thanks in Advance.
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too."
Which phones are these? I bought one from 02 in the UK WITHOUT SERVICE PLAN. Is this "factory unlocked?"
thanks.
Also, I know some companies (like Vodafone in Australia) will sell you an unlock code if you have a contract with them. Legally they have to provide that as that's the law in Oz. I doubt you can get that option as you bought your iPhone without a plan (not sure if UK telecommunications law is the same as Osz where you have to provide an unlocked version).
I paid cash in UK without service plan.
Where does that leave me in terms of unlocking? I need to go to Brazil for 3 months, by-the-way.
Thanks for any help.
PS: YOU GUYS FUCKING RULE!!! sorry for swearing :)
i tried a post earlier, not sure if it worked...
It depends. What's the Baseband on the iPhone?
I Googled "check baseband" followed trejan.com link... basically, I couldn't figure out how to check.
To find your baseband: Settings>General>About>Modem Firmware.
I had previously upgraded to 2.2 on iTunes (before I discovered this forum).
I used QuickPwn last night to jailbreak my 3G iPhone (using the QuickPwn for Windows links on this site), and received the final screen that says it was successful (and was waiting for the phone to boot up to confirm).
Unfortunately, my phone is stuck in a reboot cycle. It will boot with the apple logo on the screen, vibrate twice from time to time, and then finally eventually reboot again.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Restore to factory, and then try Quickpwn again. It's VERY simple.
WTF?
Everything went fine and my Iphone 3G works again, but unfortunately without any jailbreak.
But No Service. When I check settings: Network: There are no networks shown. just 3G data roaming, VPN, and WiFi.
How can I get Service back?
Thanks.
Macbook Pro (2008)
Windows machine (incase that helps)
Stock to 2.2 (want possible future unlock)
What is my best method and how?
Never underestimate the power of stupid people. ;)
Anyway, I have used the dev team instructions numerous times on my 3G iphone to jailbreak it and have never had any issues..... just gotta follow the simple directions... and don't upgrade until you guys say it is safe... pretty simple stuff.... not sure why anyone has issues following the directions
Thanks for all your hard work... keep up the great job ;)
I have the following problem. I have a 3g on firmware 2.2. After Jailbreaking i had Cydia and Installer, but after a couple of minutes i got a white screen and my iphone is not working anymore. Just a white screen. When i connect it to the PC there is no reaction at anytime. Its not recogniced by the PC.
NEED HELP.
Markus
Restore it.
Rejailbreak. You won't have any problems if you FOLLOW THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or can i just activate it with the original network sim, to play with it until the software unlock is available?
Thanks for your time.
And thanks DevTeam, you are doing such a fantastic job, enjoyable for yu guys, and a lot usefull for us :) Thks a lot
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
I think you're on the wrong site.
Kevin, did you use PwnageTool? If you did, did you use Simple Mode or Advanced Mode? Did you have "activate" checked?
Yes it is the first generation. I use Pwnage simple and it tells me at the end that it is DFU and all i need to do is reformat with Itunes (I have version 8) and When i do that, i return to square one.
Confused Kevin
If in doubt, follow this comprehensive guide...
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
I everything working fine now?
However, iTunes wants to Restore from Backup or Set up as a New iPhone. I'm not sure how to get all my stuff back onto the phone. Do I Back up or Setup or is there something clever and crafty I'm supposed to do?
Cheers
So how about restore it in itunes and re-do the jail breaking correctly this time ...
You want a jailbroken 2.2 iPhone and you want to stay with AT&T?
Here's how (And I'm sure some of you idiots will STILL SCREW IT UP)
Download Quickpwn.
Download the latest 2.2 Firmware.
Updateiphone to 2.2 using itunes.
When done, run Quickpwn.
While in Quickpwn, check Cydia for installation. Don't bother with Installer. It SUCKS.
Follow tragically simple onscreen directions.
Bam, you're effing done.
If you still screw this up, get rid of the bloody iphone and get yourself a motorolla razor. It's right up your alley.
Thanks Jake!

However, you aren't providing enough information to anyone in order to properly troubleshoot the EXACT problem you're having. If you need help, please be more specific.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814
I did everything as apple said but still i am unable to download the 2.2 firmware when i click on update, any help? i downloaded the 2.2 firmware manually through another site, should i just shift click update and do it that way?
I am running on windows :( and I have an iPhone 3g on att which I would like to update to 2.2 but I read that I am not supposed to use QuickPwn if I want to have a potential soft-unlock in the future.
Is there anything I can do? Are there any reliably custom IPSW's that I can get?
It's quite simple, actually. The directions that the dev team took their time outlining clearly state the method for doing this.
Please, for the love of father christmas and virgins, read the dev team's description for jailbreaks/unlocks for version 2.2, THEN, if you still have questions, by all means ask them. This site is already cluttered to hell from thousands of people asking questions that have already been answered countless times.
Clearly you misunderstood this original peron's comment. I do agree it was a rather disjointed and fragmented post, but his question deals directly with the lack of a Pwn tool for windows. So, perhaps I can ask the same question and hope for a response and not a flame...
Is there a way a Windows user can update and Pwn their Iphone while keeping the downgraded baseband? Is there an ipsw we can download? There doesnt seem to be a Pwntool for windows... Which means I cannot update my iPhone to version 2.2 and preserve my baseband, correct?
Thanks for those who actual contribute and especially thanks to the dev team!!
Sorry to bother but..
If i get a friend with a mac to make the fw, can I use iTunes on my pc to load the fw in?
Thank you.
Iphone 3G
PC, Windows XP
Itunes 8.2
Firmware 2.2
Also, it's as simple as restoring to a stock firmware.
Thanks.
P.S. I assure all those who think they know it all, that I've followed every single advice from the DEV team and not for once done something that I shouldn't. I KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. Never the less. I can only get my iphone to work with the original SP. No other SIM will work.
Get the cheese back on the biscuit.
Hope your skills get better in the near future.
I just jailbraked my Iphone 8GB with version 2.2 using QucikPwn2.2. Now, I can get all kinds of Apps from Cydia but as soon as I try to install an application with ITunes, I get "The application cannot be installed becasue it could not be verified". I did search on Google but nothing. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!
AT&T locked phone.
I did the QuickPwn as described. I have "unlocked" iPhone (works with any SIM), and 02.28.00.
Everything looks fine for a while than QuickPwn gets stucked with "empt progress line" and text:
QuickPwn is about to to run on your iPhone 3G.
Log says:
Successfully built QuickPwn Ramdisk file.
And than nothing happens! What can I do? What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
So I used the Pwnagetool 2.2 with expert mode and did all the steps on the form. My phone is restored with all my contacts and internet BUT it does not recognize my Rogers carrier - Keep in mind this is a 2G (first generation iphone) Is there anyway to get my phone to phone?
Confused Kevin
Any Ideas guys?
The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1604).
Help :D
I knew that this was a bad idea.
I guess you guys can reads this as a potential "WARNING". Although i followed the steps listed here and at other sites step by step i was not able to get a jailbreak to work and potenitally had bricked my iPhone.
Dev Team, any suggestions to what i had done wrong?? i read multiple sites all refering to the dreaded 1604 errors, it appears i am not alone!!
I'm still alittle confused. I have an iPhone 3G 2.1 - it is locked to the UK carrier O2 - but I'm using a YesSIM to get around the SIM lock - and use my personal SIM card on VodaFone.
I know that upgrading to 2.2 via iTunes will
a) Stop the YesSIM from working
b) Make any chance of a Software unlock on the iPhone 3G - pretty much impossible.
However, I'm using Mac OS X. What is not clear to me - is if I use the PwnageTool to create a custom 2.2 firmware - preserving the Baseband of 2.1 - will my iPhone 3G still work with the YesSIM ?
Thanks guys hope you can point me in the right direction.
Thank you very much for your reply. You guys are awesome!
Very much appreciated!

Sorry to bombard you with questions again. I've read your post regarding late MacBooks 2008 - have a problem in iTunes that an iPhone cannot be detected when in DFU mode.
I bought my MacBook in February 2008 - but I do remember when I first tried to Pwnaged my iPhone 3G with 2.1 - I remember iTunes reported an error when attempting to load the custom 2.1 ipsw file. So, what I did - is QuickPwned my iPhone 3G - FW 2.1 .. and that worked.
Now, I don't know if the iTunes error I got was a result of another problem - or this MacBook modification - that Apple introduced to stop the Jailbreak procedure.
Without actually going through the PwnageTool jailbreak method - is there a way of determining if my MacBook has this hardware modification that Apple introduced ?
Thank you very much and your patience.
I have a "normal" iphone, and I am upgrading to 2.2 and going to unlock it. i was wondering, what is the difference between Quick Pwn and Pwnage Tool? x
Thanks!
WHAT I HAVE TO DO???
I HAVE TO DO A DOWNGRADE?HOW??
THE DOWNGRADE WILL CHANDE TEH BASEBAND ALSO BECAUSE THIS IS THE PROBLEM.!!PLEASE PLEASE A THOUSAND TIMES
HAVE MERCEY!!:(
Recently, I use PwnageTool 2.2.1 with my Mac, I started to pwn the v2.2 ipsw. When get the selection page of the sources and packages, when I click to select Cydia Installer, Cydia Community Sources, iClarified's Sources and others, but very strange, the size of all others is "0.00MB", only Cydia Installer shows 0.48MB. Then, I still keep going to pwn it
With this Custom-ipsw, I [option]+[restore], everything goes fine, only Cydia get crash(back to Home screen) after I select whatever mode in Cydia.
Any solution to solve this problem or it is the traffic jam of the source?
Thank you all and look forward the best solution.
What I'm descried is like that, the sources is all with "0" size even I refresh it, any help please!

iTunes 8.0.2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
QuickPwn 2.2 (Window)
1. Restored to 2.2
2. Ran QuickPwn
3. Stuck at "....wait for phone to go to recovery mode"
4. Repeated sequence a couple of dozen times on two different Vista machine
5. NOTE: I was successful on a different iPhone with the same machine.
VERDICT: QuickPwn is buggy with Vista. USE XP!
However it did take away my Cydia so i just used quickpwn on windows to put cydia and installer back on it.
Worked wonders and only took a few min. but that was the easyest update yet!
Just to put this question out to anybody who might have the answer. I have an iPhone 3G 2.1 - which was QuickPwned.
Is it possible to restore via iTunes to 2.2 - using a custom IPSW file that somebody else has already created using the PwnageTool ?
Cheers!
After using Windows QuickPwn 2.2 : -Vista failed to complete, BUT Windows XP worked just fine and jailbroke the phone.
Still experiencing more problems such as:
1- can donwload Cydia / installer APPS and run them well error free.
2- cannot FTP into the phone. (dont know why, maybe new USER/Password???).
any input ???

I did exactly the above and now my iphone is locked!!!! Please, Dev Team verify these instructions because my iphone no longer has service and itunes says i don't have a valid sim. I am writing this for the benefit of others who might have bought a factory unlocked phone and might want to upgrade through itunes. Any ideas?
I am sure you didn't - I mean you let this enabled although you shouldn't... .... so repeat pwning it and this time set this switch right and you'll be ready ....
Following my compete balls up yesterday, i'd just like to know are the dev team never going to work on the 2.2 baseband?
Bigg
For iPhone 2G or iPod 1G you can go right from 1.1.4 to 2.2 with an official Apple restore then QuickPwn 2.2 for Windows. Be sure to click that lower right box for the Unlock/BootNeuter.
If you're on a Mac, the QuickPwn for OS X doesn't yet include the Unlock/BootNeuter step so you'll want to use PwangeTool instead.
I don't have a Mac to customize my own Firmware. I have Iphone 3G running on 2.1. will it work fine when I use the Firmware I found? or should I wait for the soft unlock?
Thanks
The application faile to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Clock on OK to terminate the application.
Can anyone help?
Please email me on jrg-blad@hotmail.co.uk

If PwnageTool can't find the IPSW on your Mac, you've probably never downloaded it from Apple. Download it via iTunes or find the direct link to it early on the tutorials out there like at http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=...
After you've got that ipsw, you're better off (because you have true unlock) just using QuickPwn instead of PwnageTool (they both ask for that ipsw though). In your situation, do a full restore using Apple's ipsw first, then follow up by running QuickPwn.
I also have a bunch of applications installed when i purchase the phone, would all of those application be wiped out?
Finally i have dwnloaded the ipsw file from iClarified, latest version using firefox so your advice would really start the process for me
Can you go to Settings->General->About and find the "Version" and "Modem FIrmware"?
Unfortunately i can't get into the phone at all and when i hook it up thru USB, itunes does not recognise that it is there
Good news is that your phone works (it does, right)?
"Bad" news is that you aren't really Apple unlocked. But that's okay *as long as you don't update using official an official Apple ipsw, or through something iTunes offers you*.
Stay away from QuickPwn and from iTunes updates and you should be good to go.
(Also, I think if you launch iTunes with your iPhone connected but in Airplane mode, you may have more success with iTunes. To get around that, use the Mac PwnageTool 2.2 and create a custom ipsw. In simple mode, tell PwnageTool you are not normally able to activate through iTunes. Then restore to that custom ipsw (not the Apple ipsw!))
Hmm have seen reports of that salvo56 thing before...do you happen to know what Installer app you installed just before that started happening?
The most critical part of what you'll be doing is restoring to your own custom ipsw. Please be sure to stay far clear of the real Apple one. If you stay clear of that, any other mistakes you may do can be fixed.
I got the Salvo56 trying to install backgammon from installer.
(If you remember the names of a few of the apps that you'll find you've lost, that would be good info too (was "Monkey Ball" one of them?). If a sim proxy installer was also installing cracked apps, that would be pretty bad.
I don't have a Mac to customize my own Firmware. I have Iphone 3G running on 2.1. will it work fine when I use the Firmware I found? or should I wait for the soft unlock?
Thanks
I really appreciate your work but al little update will be great.
You always say we are close to the unlock but everybody, who has a great iPod at home, is waiting for the unlock
to use it as a phone.
Can't you give us some more information about the status?
Regards
Maybe you can give some pointers? My 3g is at 2.2 and I have not jailbrokin it yet nor do I want to, I just want to use cydia and winterboard. I plan on stayin with AT&T for a while so I don't want to risk bricking my phone. What can I use to get cydia on there and the other tools? Do I have to jailbreak it? Please clear up my confusion...
Thanks in advance!!!
Rich
In order to get Cydia and Winterboard you'll have to jailbreak - that is the only option you got. Since you are using AT&T the whole 2.2 upgrade does not apply to you. The only thing you should be cautious is when you jailbreak it, either PwnageTool or QuickPwn - does not really matter since you are on AT&T anyways, is that the warranty might get voided since you altered the software - whether its true or not I dont know - I never was AT&T customer so I wouldnt know. Some people say a simple restore will be sufficient if you are planning to use warranty for something. Double check on that and everything is fine go ahead and jaibreak - its super easy.
" so can I still use QuickPwn and if so which version?
Linky:
"http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/22/iphone-2-2-gets-quickpwn-and-pwnagetool-of-course"
Well don't read other websites for this info go straight to the source which this site. Engadgetmobile is correct tho. Basically if you want soft-unlock in the future you have to use PwnageTool if you dont (which I thought was your case since you have AT&T) then you can use QuickPwn.
But let me get this straight: you have AT&T correct? Have you upgraded to 2.2 already through iTunes? Because if you did you upgraded you baseband to 2.2 as well and that eliminates your soft-unlock chances for the future. Now if you havent upgraded yet then go ahead and use PwnageTool2.2 and it will upgrade the firmware w/o the baseband AND jailbrake it so you will be able to soft unlock your phone in the future. As you can see it all depends where you stand with your phone, company, firmware version, etc. For example I use proxy sim with T-Mobile - it works perfectly but if I will upgrade to official iTunes 2.2 firmware I would be screwed as it renders proxy sims unusable.
I was attempting to upgrade my Locked iPHone 3G from 2.1 -> 2.2 .. and preserving the 2.1 BB. I got the device successfully into DFU mode.
iTunes 8.02 successfully detected the phone and told me I had to restore it.
Great! I thought. I have a Mac. So, I held down the "cmd" button - which as far as I know is the option button - then clicked restore. iTunes instead of displaying a dialog box - it said "Extracting software."
In a panic - I disconnected the iPhone - rebooted the device - and all was well. I still have GSM service via my SIM Proxy (YesSIM) I disconnecting it - because I was thinking "Oh crap! It's going to upgrade to Apple's 2.2 - & not my custom IPSW build."
What's going on ? I thought holding the "cmd" button (the one with the clover) & clicking Restore was the same as Option + click Restore
What gives guys ?
Cheers
I don't have a Mac, but from what I have read "http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1558" you should hold the Alt/Option button and click Restore, as it;s mentioned in step ten. After that a dialog window will appears where you can select the custom IPSW, (and here you know you're in the right way) hopefully ;) good luck.
I am asking your advice, weather to wait for you to break the baseband downgrade lock process (not to unlock the baseband, but to downgrade it to a previous version) or I shall buy a new "turbo" SIM for 2.2 firware?
Thx
How long does it usually take for the SIM makers to come out with a new answer? days, weeks, months?
Thx
work?
All you can do at this point is wait and hope that one of the proxy SIM makers (TruboSIM, RebelSIM, YesSIM, etc.) will come out with a work around for the 2.2FW (02.28.00 baseband) soon.
I ended up restoring my device to revert the jailbroken state. Anyone else have this issue?
MuscleNerd, if you wouldn't mind?
1, Where do you think i went wrong with my attempted pwnage? I tried the tutorials on the web several times with no luck, 1604 error, yet when i restored with the official 2.2 ipsw it went with out a hitch?
2. Could you give us (the great 2.2 unwashed) any indication of when you might start work on the 2.2 firmware? If ever? I short yes or no would be good :)
3. Was my 2.11.07 going to be unlocked in this potential unock? Or is it only the 1.45 one that this one applies too?
Thanks Guys
Bigguss
1. Did you restore to the official 2.2 thru iTunes? If you did, then your baseband has been upgrade too. Try this link to shed more light on your error... http://www.simonblog.com/2008/10/07/iphone-jail...
2. I have a feeling it won't be anytime soon.
3. I believe the pending soft-unlock is for the 02.11.07 baseband as that was the last baseband before the 2.2 upgrade.
P/S Keep the faith and feel the "love" again.
I really wished i'd left well alone. Oh well anyone want to buy a O2 Paygo iPhone one carefull owner?

Any news/statements about iPhones 3G having baseband > 1.45.00 and < 02.28.00 in terms of unlocking chances?
Couldn't find anything in comments (or most propably I've overseen it).
Thx in advance,

Juist wanted to say Keep up the good work, and also to ask a pretty simple question:
Currently im using the windows QuickPwn tool, and every time i want to restore my phone with a custom IPSW, it has to rehash the entire IPSW. Then QuickPwn gets a fatal error, crashes just before uploading the IPSW, and i have to Shift-restore the custom firmware in itunes,
Now, my question is, Can you add a function to the next version of quickpwn, that allows you to completely skip the creation of a new firmware, and use a previously created Custom.ipsw? I know it would make my life easier.
Thanks guys, Keep up the good work!!
ro ro Fight tha powah!

My question is how do i fix this problem for future use and what is causing this problem.
Thanks VA
I also tried using the pwnage tool and got error message 0xe8000024....can anyone help please?
If you want to jailbreak only, then just update to 2.2 in iTunes, and then use QuickPwn
Thanks.
Will you resolve the problem with unlocked iPhone 3G(with proxi sim)?
Because the most of people have update the modem to 02.28.00 and con not to use the iPhone 3G like phone.
We are waiting your solution for this problem.
Thank you.
thanks in advance to everybody on the dev team!

Apple's 3G model guide
OK Hands up - I can't seem to follow instructions!
Updated I tunes, updated phone to 2.2 (I have no problem with provider so baseband not an issue). Followed all instructions using quickpwn 2.2 (nice looking tool!) got to the last bit when it said wait for the phone to re-boot, waited for about half an hour listening to occasional buzz, in my infinite wisdom (stupidity?) decided something must be wrong, killed processes off restored phone using itunes to 2.2, tried again.
Unfortunately every time I now try again I get to the USB/Itunes screen on the I phone (waiting for phone step one on the quickpwn tool) and it just sits there. Then I have to restore 2.2 back from itunes and re-activate.
OS: WIndows Vista 64 (tried running it in XP compatability mode too!)
Itunes - up to date
iPhone 3g (2.2) never been jail broken before.
Any ideas? I have an old MacG4 I could try or I could try to boot up into XP or Vista (just need to find those old HDD's) But if I do this will it affect the sync with itunes on my original Vista 64?
Cheers

BTW really appreciate the effort you all go through for this.
After reading all the comments I was a bit nervous but it worked flawless in 10 minutes.
"iTunes could not read the contents of the iPhone "World Music Tec." Go to the Summary tab of the iPhone's preferences and click Restore to restore the iPhone to factory settings"
what i do ?
Iphone formware 1.0.2 to 2.2 (yes, the first to new version)
iTunes version 8.0.2.20 (installed before the procedure)
thankss and help plssss
Install the DiskAid or PC Suite, open the program, plug the iPhone, go to the /private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes and rename "iTunesDB" to "iTunesDbold". Before this step, backup and delete all the videos and musics on the iPhone.
see the tutorial in portuguese on this link -> http://www.minutomac.com.br/index.php/News/iPhone/
It's an iPhone1 (2G) upgraded (from v.2.1) with PwnageTool_2.2.1 & iTunes 8.0.2 (Cydia shows but doesn't open).
I tried QuickPwn_2.2 with same results Cydia shows but doesn't open.
Thanks & regards,
Puchito
Apparently I did a mistake:
At the PwnageTool in the steg Cydia Settings i added Cydia.
As it's going automatically in next step it has to be a crash.
Then when I used QuickPwn_2.2 to repair it apparently QuickPwn took the wrong iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw.
SOLUTION: I started the upgrade from the begining with PwnageTool_2.2.1 & iTunes 8.0.2...
Now both iPhone and Cydia work fine!
I have one request though. I used to use a workaround to put in my own logo's buy replacing the ones in the "\Temp\7ZipSfx.???\" directory with ones I made. I have always wished that QuickPwn would allow you to choose your own. However, now it seems that workaround no longer works. Is there a way? I like the PwnApple logo just fine but I like mine better. ;)
I guess I should update my turbo sim too huh?
Isn't this a fraud? When I was upgrading to the new 2.2 firmware my iTunes informed me that I may restore previous state of my iPhone if something goes wrong.
But this is simply a lie. A very strict legal category. A part of it cannot be downgraded, restored, the baseband. Can Apple actually do something like that? I do not care about their warrantee. But can they make such a desperate move to openly lie and go on without any consequence?
WTF help me out?
Just follow the instructions and you´ll be fine.
PLEASE HELP ME!
i got some problem..my friend have a iphone3G that carrier unlock and firmware 2.2.Now he use quickpwn2.2 to jailbreak it.but also have some error message at quickpwn last step...show: quickpwn have some problem.
have any way to solve it.
he system is windows XP SP3 with .NET Framework version 2.0...but it alway stop and show error...
please give me a ansewr.my english is not good....can you catch it....hehehe
good luck
as far as I have learned from the discussions here, the firmware does its job fully separated from the baseband...
so theoretically every firmware works with any baseband that is witten for this device generation?
That is why one may have a 1.45 baseband or whatever and still use a custom firmware 2.2 without any missing functions?!
And it is why a turbo sim will still still work as long as you don't update the baseband !?!!

There were only a few times where a basic feature of the main firmware was somehow tied to the baseband. One of the more recent ones was when Google's "locate me" feature was added to Maps.app. That feature required the newest baseband at the time to work...older basebands would just result in a constantly spinning locate me button.
It seams to me that a lot of people have upgraded either unintentionally or have bought their phone with this update already on. Yeah i know, i am one of those people (/faceplam) but reading the comments on this page it seems to me i am far from alone, infact it it looks like we are the majority.
Whats the dev teams view on this? Is the new firmware a brand new challange i.e starting from scratch with the process of hacking?

Fake??
Thanks a lot, and I look forward for advices
Read it again and learn the difference between jailbraking and unlocking..
I have updated an ipod 1G 16GB from a working jailbreak-ed 2.1 directly to a jailbreaked 2.2 'using PwnageTool 2.2.1 . There was an error while upgrading the firmware via latest itunes and now my ipod does not allow any more update.
It starts always in recovery mode and even in DFU it finish with error 14 (itunes 8.0.2) or error 6 (itunes 8). I tried on a MAC, on a PC, changing USB cable, trying to download firmware official 1.1.2, 2.1, 2.2.. But nothing worked.
ANY IDEA?
But I'm in trouble.
I've downloaded the new 2.2 firmware via iTunes. I've installed it on my iPhone 2G bought in Miami on 7 March, 2008. After the installation, I have Pwned iPhone with your QuickPwn for Windows. After that, iPhone works well and recognises the sim, but there is no signal. I can't make calls or send sms or receive calls. I have a telephone that doesn't work as a telephone.
I tried and re-tried to install the firmware and do the Pwnage, but it still doesn't receive signal.
Do you have any tip for me?
Thanks
I have a jailbroken Iphone with 2.1 firmware, which will not allow me to access my 3G network. It works fine with any wifi network, I've tried everything that the support guys at virgin have suggested, they said that my last option is to upgrade to 2.2 (which I'm trying to avoid at the moment). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
If Virgin is an official iPhone carrier, then use PwnageTool and create your ipsw there with no baseband update and RESTORE from it using iTunes. Let it officially activate through your carrier.
Again - only do this if you are not using a SIM proxy.
I have upgraded my iPhone to 2.2, it's unlocked & jailbroken, running on 04.05.04 baseband. The question is if it's possible to upgrade it to 02.11.07 baseband @ all? Does it make it faster?
Also if I could pls get a small explanation on wat mobile terminal for my iPhone is used for? Thanx
This isn't an idle comment. Seriously. If there's anything that can be done via the expenditure of more working iPod Touches, I'm a harcware-software hacker and would love to take the plunge.
I'm just totally new to this, I got my iPhone and really extremely depressed from it, it's locked to our network here (MoBinil, Egypt) that's if you know about Egypt :).
Moreover the GPS is disabled :(. Once I have plugged it with iTunes I have updated to 2.2 :( (I was dummy enough I didn't read anything about the hassle of PWN...etc)
So now can you tell me if there's any chance to have this one unlocked, and have the GPS enabled again.
Come download from my 16mbps seed everyone :O
You guys rock, thanks a lot!
Have you made a step forward for the 3G unlock today?
I have a locked iPhone 3G which is O2 Ireland. I used PwnageTools to restore my
phone this morning. But when it finished, it doesn't have any signal. Do you know
how should I fix this issue?
Many thanks again.
