Step-by-Step Guide to Pwn first generation iPhone running firmware 2.0 using Windows
The iPhone Dev Team released their Pwnage Tool 2.0 to jailbreak and unlock the first generation (original) iPhone running iPhone firmware 2.0 yesterday, but only Mac users could use the tool as they are yet to release the WinPWN tool for Windows users. URherenow and Srini, one of the readers...

Thanks for an easy step by step guide! Btw i have a question, can this guide be used on iPhone 3G also or only older devices? as its mentioned in the heading:
"Step-by-Step Guide to Pwn original iPhone running firmware 2.0 using Windows"? as orignal iPhone running firmware 2.0 is iPhone 3G?

Hey there,
Just wondering, how can one backup their full iphone before hacking it to firmware 2.0. I want to do a full backup including address book contacts, photos, and notes and etc.
If you have the answer please post it as i want to be on the safe side before doing this :)
-
im doing it now. thanks in advance.
to back everything up, just sync with itunes. make sure you check off the sync options (outlook or windows contacts)

Hey Folks,
This method works with the first generation (original) iPhone and not iPhone 3G. I have also updated the post to say first generation iPhone to avoid any further confusion.
cheers!

Hi :) Thought you might be interested in this. I posted this on the iphong dev blog site but might be helpful for you here as well.
iPhone 2.0 Upgrade Steps for 2G iPhones ACCIDENTALLY Upgraded to 2.0 already.
Follow and check all steps and all will work.
=== Pre-upgrade Checks ===
1. Restore your iPhone with the Original & Official Apple iphone 2.0 software.
2. Phone will be "emergency" only status.=== Device Support Folder ===
1. Open Finder
2. Goto "Mac HD"
3. Goto "Library" and then to "Itunes"
4. If "Device Support" EXISTS - open folder and delete everything in there.
5. If "Device Support" folder doesn't exist - create a new folder called "Device Support"=== Download Bootloaders ===
1. You need both 3.9 and 4.6 (available via 100s of links on this page - particularly at the top)=== Upgrade Steps ===
1. Open up the pwned 2.0
2. Goto EXPERT MODE - if you use simple mode you will get errors 6, 20, 1600, 1601 etc and it will NOT work
3. Select the 2.0 firmware and also select relevant *.bins
4. When get to main menu screen, go into Bootnetuer and select "Update Bootloader" and select "4.6"
5. Go back to main menu and enter General Settings --> select Enable Baseband Update
6. Then build the firmware and save it to your desktop
7. Once the firmware is built, pwned will ask you to plug in your iphone via USB.
8. It will then step you through the process of enter DFU mode
9. Once this is complete it will ask you to boot up itunes (when you plugged you phone in it may have already loaded)
10. Hold down ALT (on MAC) and select the firmware on your desktop
11. iPhone will update - LEAVE IT for the entire process.
12. It should install and all will work :)=== If DFU Fails ===
1. Plug iPhone into USB & then TURN OFF (connected obviously :P)
2. Hold the power and home buttons at the same time for 10 secs
3. Release power button and continue holding home button
4. iTunes will recognize the phone in "Restore Mode"
5. Hit "Option/ALT" key and click restore.
6. Select the firmware on your desktop
7. Await 2.0 love (feel free to drink a beer at this point)Hope this is all clear enough for everyone :)
Frederick!

Could someone please give a step by step how to do this with iphone 3g? I see the first step here is to WinPWN 1.0 To PWN Your 1.1.4 iPhone, but the 3g is already at 2.0 firmware. Help??? THanx

Hey RL,
The Pwnage Tool 2.0 cannot unlock iPhone 3G, the iPhone Dev Team are currently working on it.
If you are looking to unlock iPhone 3G, you need to wait for the iPhone Dev Team to release their updated tool which works with iPhone 3G.
cheers!
-
hey thanks.. it working in my phone 1.1.4, now im using pwnage 2.0 thanks a lot..
-
iphonehacks. I just want to have the "installer" on my 3g. Don't need to "unlock."
-
I did everything in the instructions and i have appstore and cydia but arent't i supposed to have installer too? i dont have that though
-
does it work with itouch?
-
wow thanks!!! worked for me :-)
-
Work perfectly! Thx for the help!
-
SRINI figured out??? F*** YOU!
#1) Check your stupid blog again. I POSTED THIS INFO BEFORE HIM
#2)HE didn't figure out shi*. I put the process into my own words and linked to the original source (sleepers.net) Srini COPpIED AND PASTED THE sleepers.net instructions.
-
Flashing Baseband NOW.... should know if it worked in a couple minutes.
-
IT WORKED FOR ME!
Thanks!
-
WORKED.. NO INSTALLER >:(
-
The **** of the ipsw is down. Are there any mirrors?
-
So let me get this straight before I screw up my phone...do I need to upgrade to the 2.0 software first, or do I leave it at 1.1.4 and go through the "Pwn" process to let it unlock, upgrade software and jailbreak?
-
just done it worked fine for me it installed cydia not installer.app so will have to get to grips with that as i have only used installer.app but apart from that all ok and thanks all who put work in to this
JrzyBoi
un need to leave it on 1.1.4and do the "Pwn" hope that helps mate -
leave it at 1.1.4 then PWN it
-
It worked great! Thanks. I wish you had more details in the steps...but guessed a lit here and there and it worked.
Thanks a great deal. -
can you pwn with 1.1.3 instead of 1.1.4?
-
Uploading the 2.0 Custom firmware on rapidshare as we speak.
But i was wondering if any windows user has done it and if they would like to share that if it worked for them or not.
-
How would i go about doing this if i'm already at 2.0 on my original iPhone. And i'm using Windows so i cant just use the new pwnage tool. Thanks!
-
this worked a treat i was about to install os x leopard in my eee pc just so i could Pwn my iphone till i found this.
-
All I want to do is jailbreak/activate (No Unlock), how would i do this? Would I just not run boot nueter?
-
