How to Jailbreak Your 2.x.x 3G iPhone Using QuickPwn (Windows)

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your 3G iPhone to the 2.1-2.2.1 iPhone firmware using QuickPwn for Windows.

If you are intending to unlock your iPhone you can use this tutorial to jailbreak ONLY if you are on the 02.28 baseband or lower AND you restore to 2.2 (NOT 2.2.1). If you use this tutorial to restore and to jailbreak firmware 2.2.1 there is no unlock currently available.

Step One
Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop.

Download the following files and place them in the Pwnage folder you just created:

- QuickPwn-225-2.zip

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO UNLOCK:
- 2.2.0 (3G): iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO UNLOCK:
- 2.2.1 (3G): iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw

Extract the QuickPwn-225-2.zip file to the Pwnage folder.

Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.

What will be of interest to most people is a 2.2 upgrade whilst preserving the baseband (to allow any future software unlock). In order to do that you need to use PwnageTool to create a custom .ipsw. Unfortunately though PwnageTool is only available for Mac OS X.. therefore I would hold off on a 2.2 update until a Windows solution becomes available.

To be honest though, 2.2 is just more bollocks and eye candy, real functionality is stil lacking e.g. landscape SMS, bluetooth functionality, clip n paste, turn by turn GPS etc..

landscape SMS should be inserted. Howare the new tmobile G1's? they have a qerty keypad. And the andriod software is meant to be first class

Has anyone ever bricked an Iphone 3G while jailbreaking?

So, if there is a flashing problem it can be restored?

As long as you dont do anything silly (like remove usb cable whilst upgrading), you will be fine.

Just make sure you use the correct "iPhone_blah_blah_restore" firmware file.

I'm on O2 PAYG anyway so I won't need to unlock, will I?

Top Man cheers for the info!

Thanks, just done my phone.

cheers for this planning to upgrade my phone to 2.2 sometime during the week.

thanks, just jail broken mine :)

Unlocked mine too using this guide.

Tried a '3' sim in it and it worked.

Mod Edit .....

I have already posted a 3G Unlock guide (http://www.digital-forums.com/showthread.php?t=414543)

This thread is to discuss jailbreak , hence the title (How to Jailbreak Your 2.x.x 3G iPhone Using QuickPWN (Windows)

Please read threads and stickies carefully ;)

Cheers for this guide came in handy :) One thing to note is that you need .net framework or it doesn't load up.

The IPSW file you selected (phone 1,2_2.2)does not match the firmware version of your device (iphone 1,2_2.2) please note that quickpwn does not upgrade firmware, it only jail breaks whatever firmware you currently have on your device

:(

So i thought i better get i tunes open and do the shift / restore ! But the that failed towards the end

Im confused what on earth am i doing wrong haha

Error - The iphone "iphone" could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (1013)
