    Should this not be 5G77 ?

QuckPwn sims to start but in same second also starts iTunes and shows alert message as follows: "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occured (2001)."

    I get exactly the same response:

    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occurred (2001)" (or some variant).

    I've got an intel iMac but have upgraded to the latest OSX (10.5.6) - I've heard that this may be a factor in the failure to get the iPhone recognised in DFU mode.

    if you get the error message just unplug and replug iphone without taking it out of DFU mode. this method worked for me at least

    If you have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.6 (or using the new MacBooks) and facing a problem then it is because the latest update prevents your Mac from recognizing iPhone in DFU mode which is important to jailbreak iPhone 3G.

    The Dev team had suggested possible fixes which they have noted that one should try at their own risk:

    1. Use a USB hub in-between the DFU device and the Mac and insert/reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable. (recommended solution)

    2. You can checkout the simple guide to re-enable DFU mode in Mac OS X 10.5.6 (but please proceed with caution as some readers have hit issues).

    We have updated the post with the relevant information.

    Dear all,

    Jailbreak ok, but phone has no signal to make a call.
    In the Settings menu, there is no option to choose a network provider.

    Therefore it is not possible to download and install Yellowsn0w
    All other funcitons and apps work fine as long as no internet or network signal is neccessary.

    Anyone had the same problem and found a solution yet?

    Thanks, Paul

    I followed all the instructions today and successfully Jailbroke my 3G Iphone using my Macbook air running OS X 10.5.6 and Itunes 8.0.2
    I also had the unrecognised ipod fault, but i followed the guidelines on using a usb hub, worked a treat. Also the post by AnnaMan regarding the Iphone just buzzing every so often, mine too but this was because i wasn't using a powered hub and there was not enough power to show charge the phone.

    by "powered usb hub" do you mean a separate device to connect through, or on of the hubs on the back as opposed to one of the ones on the keyboard or something?

    i would very much like to jailbreak my iphone, but i'm afraid i don't quite know what you mean

    thanks :)

    Hi guys,
    I have a strange slight problem, please advise. I have a 3g 16g iphone v2.0.2 (jailbroken) & a mac 10.5.5. Successfully downloaded iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.zip & unzipped it. BUT mac's not opening the file or any files in the directory, the 'open' button's blurred.

    How do i proceed, need your installer for much needed additional t/party apps.

    I am using a USB hub, all my firmware and versions are in check, I got it to send the file over and the progress bar hit the end. However, it has been 12 minutes with a completed bar and an iphone with just a white screen and nothing else is appearing in the log. What should I do?

    Dear all,


    Jailbreak worked, and all applications, syncing etc work. However, phone has no signal to make a call. The sim card still works in my old phone, but not in the iphone. Before jainbreaking it did work.

    In the Settings menu, there is no option to choose a network provider.

    Anyone had the same problem and found a solution yet?

    Just thought I'd let people know that I just did this, and it worked, I'm running 10.5.6 though? Maybe it works now in the latest QuickPWN.

    Thanks for this quick guide!
