Anyone know how to re-do activation process for iphone 3g after I successfully jailbroke it? I don't see my At&t sign and I can't make a call, but it looks like it jail broke. HELP!!!!!!
-
@kenzanboo: You should just plug it into itunes, and the activation popup window will appear and then just follow the steps. It should take a few minutes.

hey how come the files come a zip file and not ipsw? i cant get it to work
-
Man i freaked out when the screen went all white but then i saw the dev team pineapple logo and my heart started beating once again THX for evrything guyz u own since dev team woudnt let me pwn on my windows lol
-
looks like its taking a too long time
-
but it worked really good thx again guyz
-
could someone mirror the second download, It's gonna take 1 hour with (I assume) the servers bad upload speed.
-
what about 4 iPod touch users does the iPhone 2.0 firmware work and can u jailbreak the same way?
-
works perfect!!!
-
For some reason it kept downloading the files that are needed as zip files... Make sure you rename them to *.ipsw and put them in the recommended locations (no need to unzip them). Also if you get error 1600 you need to start over again from the beginning....altough your iphone might have gone into DFU mode you'll still have to do the button pushing again to make it load the appropriate drivers for it to work.
-
umm i have a question. when it says in step 2. how you click start and put the code in the run box. what is that? start what?? and what run box?? i downloaded both the files but what is step 2 talking about
pls help
-
If you have windows xp you click start (at bottom left) and then click run. Then put in the information provided. If you have Vista you click start (again, bottom left of desktop) and than in the search bar at the bottom put he info provided. Good luck.

i seem to be stuck at the point where I have to load the IPSW file... itunes says "preparing iphone for restore" then after like 2 minutes... i get an error msg in itunes... 1601
so i gotta restore to factory settings and do over?
also to boot... i don't ever see the pineapple... :S any thoughts? anyone had the same problem?
-
I'm having trouble renaming files that I need to download from *.zip to *.ipsw. Could anybody please help, kinda feel retarded here..lol =p
-
What apps are you able to download off of the installer for the 3g jailbreak?
-
pretty much what I'm asking is, is it worth jailbreaking right now? The reason I really want to jailbreak in the first place is for customize and mxtube. Not only that but I am waiting for a replacement 3g from apple. Please message me back with suggestions. Thanks!!!
-
Hi, I'm just trying to jailbreak my 3G, and the files you put up there no longer work, and I can't seem to find them anywhere else.. can somebody please redistribute them or mirror them somewhere else? The link is down and I can't download the files.
-
Apparently the downloads are down or something. I've read that the 1403 is because the ipsw is only part way downloaded. Can anyone email me these files?
Thanks.
-
Anybody got a mirror or bittorrent for these files as i still need them and theyre not available??
-
I've been stuck holding the home button for an hour or so, I've repeated the process several times but my iphone is not showing up on my itunes..
please advise, much appreciated
-
it would appear that the downloads are down here is a link to a **** version of the files

Step 1 : Grab a pre-created IPSW Made with PWNAGE 2.0 Mac. If you don't have one made you can grab one from:
[code]

http://rapidshare.com/files/131204173/iPhone1_1_2.0_5A347_Custom_Restore.part3.rar
[/code]
(You will need to download all the three links, in order to get the firmware.)
Step 2: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find your custom IPSW firmware file.Step 3: This should jailbreak, unlock and activate your first generation iPhone and should have iPhone firmware 2.0 running on it so that you can use both the official and unofficial native iPhone applications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Please do remember, hacking your iPhone is at your own risk. Please don't forget its always a good idea to backup your iPhone. To back-up your iphone, just sync your iphone with the itunes one last time, then hit the restore button, by holding shift at the same time.Let me know if it worked for you in the comments, and if it has, don't forget to drop in a thank you note.

Perfectly works, even when the iTunes logo shows up on the screen.
Is it me, or it's much faster to apply the custom FW than the official one ?
-
Okay... it didn't download carrier settings for some reason so I'm restoring it to default.
