Guide - Jailbreak iPhone / iTouch 2.1 Easier | |
| Sunday, October 05, 2008 | discuss in our forum | read comments(136) |
Ok so its been 1 hour since release i though i should put together a guide on how to jailbreak 2.1 using the dev's team official method in WINDOWS. If you want to run 2.1 then you will need to update to 2.1 with itunes 8 first. Remeber this updates your baseband, keep that in mind if you want to unlock in the future.
Please email us so we can add you to confirmed users.
Update 14 : 3200 Confirmed users WOOHOO!!!!
Files that you will need.QuickPWN 2.1 GUI
Apple 2.1 Firmware 2G or 3G or iTouch (1st gen)
Grab both these files and dump them on your desktop.
Extract the QuickPWN 2.1 zip file and launch QuickPwn.exe you should see this screen pop up.
Connect your device it, you should see this
Click blue right arrow
Select firmware for your device.
QuickPWN will hash the file when done you will see green checkmark.
Click blue arrow again
Blue arrow again.
The process will then start.
Follow onscreen instructions to put phone into DFU mode.
Go get a beer, coffee whatever come back in 10 minutes and your phone will be running 2.1 with baseband updated.
Thanks again to the DEV Team.

 Inasacu - i can't believe it...i had version 2.0.2 and it had locked today...by mistake i restored w/ 2.1 rather than the 2.1 custom and was screwed...3 hours later your post come in and it solved my huge issue...IT WORKS PERFECTLY...thanks a million!!! | ||
 - Sorry this might sound dumb. Do I need 2.1 installed on iphone already to upgrade? | ||
| - Is this going to install installer and cydia??? So all i have to do is follow the instructions. | ||
 Rob - Props to you. Worked in less than 10 minutes. Thank you. | ||
| - i just got my iPhone 3G 3 days ago - you guys are the best!! | ||
| - Oh, and I've tried going into DFU mode (successfully) but Quickpwn never reacts or changes. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - which itunes ? | ||
| - I'm running iTunes 8. Is iTunes involved in this process? Does iTunes have to be open? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - No should be closed... DFU mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0oS79cErHM&feature=related can you try another pc ? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - do you have dot net installed? | ||
| - The youtube video was removed by user. iTunes is closed Unfortunetly, no, I don't have another PC (nor friends in the area) I'm running .NET 3.5 | ||
| iphone3g-mods - which firmware are you using which os ? | ||
| - I'm running XP SP3 and originally upgraded my iPhone to 2.1 via iTunes 8 when it was released a few days back. I'm using "iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw" with QUickpwn | ||
| iphone3g-mods - hmmm very strange... dfu and back to 2.1 again | ||
| - Another 'Confirm'. Process went seamessly (2.0.02 Update via iTunes 8 and then Windows QuickPwn). Hats off to all you folks that help us pull this off. (Acadian) | ||
| - Is that for "stuck at Quickpwn logo" or "stuck 'wait for your iPhone to restart in Recovery Mode?" There's two different users asking questions right now. By the way, thanks for helping us out. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - both of you throw into DFU and restore to 2.1 make sure the screen is blank when you are in dfu mode not the apple logo | ||
| iphone3g-mods - its harder to do when its rebooting i know cause i had the same prob but it is possible, you cannot screw up DFU mode you can always enter it | ||
| - So go into DFU mode and use iTunes to restore? Do we restore to the standard 2.1? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - yes standard 2.1 yes in itunes make sure you use itunes 8 | ||
| - Ok, trying that. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - ok be back in a bit going to pickup wife from work :P | ||
| - Thanks. First attempt, "iphone could not be restored, unknown error" and my iphone just has a white screen... Trying again. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - using the right firmware? | ||
| - I'm the other "Anonymous". I put it into DFU mode, restored, ran Quickpwn again and everything worked this time. Thanks for the help as always. | ||
| - I've got that same problem where it gets stuck in the ready to pwn screen. Would I be able to do it on another comp that doesn't have my itunes because I don't feel like restoring again? | ||
| - Works like a charm. In 10 minutes my iphone was 'jailbreaked'. | ||
| Leech - Is there a way to upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.1 without losing the installed apps and settings? | ||
| Steven - Anyone no what to do when it gets stuck at the put phone into recovery mode/dfu step I tried restoring but same thing every time it just stays at preparing your phone for dfu or something like that and never moves on | ||
| - Jailbroke my 2g - Was Quick and Very Easy - Thansk | ||
| Bill - I have a problem - I seemed to work Cydia and installer are now on my phone but i can not make calls and my phone icon is gone - WTF happened? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - download an app store free app | ||
| - BTW (that was me above to confirm update) but I just tested out syncing with itunes and was able to sync and backup. 2 thumbs up! | ||
| dung - Confirmed on 3g iphone, working perfectly. But i still can't connect to itunes when sync my iphone to the computer. still say sim is not activated with this sim. please help, thank in advance. | ||
| - Took a few tries to get the timing right on the reboot into recovery mode, but once I got it right the jailbreak worked perfectly. Thanks! | ||
| - Quick Question - Can I install this without installer. I only use Cydia and don't like the installer format.Thanks | ||
| iphone3g-mods - just goto bossprefs and hide the installer icon... | ||
| iphone3g-mods - dung you have to let it activate when you update to 2.1 with itunes 8 then goto the jailbreak process | ||
| iphone3g-mods - dung you have to let it activate when you update to 2.1 with itunes 8 then goto the jailbreak process | ||
| iphone3g-mods - christopher yea the old method required you to delete a file using total commander which would make cydia and installer appear but the new method using quickpwn mentioned in this article it does this for you so they automatically appear | ||
| - "Remeber this updates your baseband, keep that in mind if you want to unlock in the future". What does this mean? | ||
| - Worked for me ! Thank you very much ! | ||
| iphone3g-mods - means modem firmware is updated as well | ||
| - It comes up with an error saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." What do I do??? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous said... I have a iPhone 2G 1.1.4 that is jailbroken and activated using iLiberty on Vista. I'm using iTunes 7.5. 1. which headset do you have ? 2. i would update to 2.1 then run this guide 3. only way to keep your stuff is update to 2.1 using 8.0 then run quickpwn like this tut says. if you run a restore your system will be wiped and you will lose your contacts. you cant backup with 7.7.1 and restore on 8 4. yes you can use 8 with quickpwned phone | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous said... hi, ok i'm in dire need of help. i have been trying for days to jailbreak my iphone 3g. pwnage tool won't work. Quickpwn i have been able to get to work, that is up until the point where it needs to reboot... the program goes through all the steps everything is fine it even says "i haz success" buy my iphone just goes to a white screen after i put in dfu mode and stays blank for about 10 min and then goes dark. i've restarted the whole process and tried several times and it just won't reboot. i never even see a logo, apple or pwnapple.. please help start the process from beginning. put the phone into dfu mode start itunes 8.0 and do a factory 2.1 restore after it is complete run this guide | ||
| - i downloaded the 2.1-1 zip file then i plugged in my ipod and it said this version of quickpwn only jalbreaks versions 2.0 | ||
| Sharpy - K, I posted on the other guide as well, but I'm assuming the OP isn't checking it anymore since it has been over a week and he hasn't responded to any of the posts. Now this guide says it will work on the iPod Touch(it's in the title) but which firmware file do I use if I have a first generation iPod Touch? | ||
| - is any hack for the second generation itouch 2.1.1 | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous said... Hey I had already upgraded my iphone3g to 2.1. I tried the above and everything seemed to work properly at first, then shortly after the pineapple appeared the first time, it then disappeared.. now every time i start the phone, there is no apple or pineapple, and it doesnt seem to have installed cydia or installer... any ideas? sorry been busy building www.winterboardthemes.com, any who do a factory restore to 2.1 and start again with my guide up above, make sure you do a factory restore in DFU mode | ||

| Sharpy - Ok, now when I try to use QuickPWN, when I browse and select that iTouch firmware the green check mark doesn't come up. I think that is the firmware for the second generation iTouch, not the first generation. | ||

| Tricia - EXCELLENT!.. Instructions.. even for computer illiterate old lady!..Now, If I can just figure out what all to do after Jailbreaking!.. heehee | ||
| Duane - I used QuickPwn 2.1 on a 2G iPhone that already had 2.1 installed, and it completes, but afterwards when I try putting a SIM card in, it asks me to connect to iTunes to activate. I dont want to do that, because I want to be able to use this phone with a TMobile SIM card! HELP! | ||
| - any news about firmware 2.1.1 ? thx | ||
| - i know it a dumb question but do i still have jailbreak my iphone 3g if my phone came with 2.1 firmware? | ||

| - I can't locate the file \System\Library\.............. in the total commander program. can you please help me, my phone is now blank. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Ok, now when I try to use QuickPWN, when I browse and select that iTouch firmware the green check mark doesn't come up.

| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous matt said... when you say factory restore, you mean restoring from the original 2.1 firmware you downloaded from itunes when you upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1, right? i jailbroke my phone using the older method and i want to do this one but i used a different comp(which is broken now)to upgrade to 2.1 in itunes so i dont have the orginal firmware ( i used my old ladys comp to jailbreak) you can use 2.1 no worries | ||

I dont want to do that, because I want to be able to use this phone with a TMobile SIM card! HELP! why not ? activate it then goto cydia and install boot neuter and unlock your phone. its a 2g the modem firmware does not update like 3g so its still unlockable via software | ||

But then i tried quickpwn and i got all the way to the end but after i reboot my itouch nothing changes and i don't get installer or cydia HELP hmmm ok go back to the beginning. hookup to itunes 8 and do a restore to 2.1 then run quickpwn and jailbreak again | ||

| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous Anonymous said... i know it a dumb question but do i still have jailbreak my iphone 3g if my phone came with 2.1 firmware? if you want installer and all the fun toys which we all enjoy | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous Anonymous said... I can't locate the file \System\Library\.............. in the total commander program. can you please help me, my phone is now blank. what do you mean blank ? read the guide again its working for everyone else | ||
| - Well, same here. Now it only shows a biten pinacle logo and vibrates twice every now and then... ...erm....how can i restore it? Cant turn it off either... regards Manuel | ||
| - by the way... i'm using a german iphone 3g with tmobile original card | ||
| Sharpy - Hey, I know you said you put in the new iTouch 1st Generation firmware, but when I click the link it brings me to an error page. All the website says is "An error occurred while processing your request. Reference #50.3492f748.1224962789.4b7cc905 " | ||
| - the 1st generation download application does not work. i cant jailbreak my ipod because the link is invalid. Can you post a new link for me to download | ||
| iphone3g-mods - ok if its vibrating twice it means you had uncompatible 2.1 software installed on your phone, simple solution is to put the phone into DFU mode updated to 2.1 and then jailbreak... should add anohter 15 min to the proceess | ||
| iphone3g-mods - sharpy link fixed thanks | ||
| Sharpy - No problem man, I just really want to jailbreak my iTouch. Just a small suggestion to help out future iTouch users. You might wanna try hosting the firmware on a different site, Sendspace maxes out non-registered users download speeds at 50 kb/s. It's really slow... I was hoping I would finish the download before I left for school but I don't think that's happening. | ||
| Sharpy - Awesome, it works! Thanks so much for all the help man. Took a while but it's up and running now. Next step... figure out how to get all the games for free! | ||
| iphone3g-mods - i have an article on here describing how to install any app free :) keep reading the guides | ||
| iphone3g-mods - this is the guide http://www.iphone3g-mods.com/2008/10/guide-install-gameapp-on-iphoneitouch.html | ||
| Sharpy - Yeah I ran into some problems while doing that one, I posted on the 28th there, could you go check it out see if you can help me out? | ||
| iphone3g-mods - yea cause we all want to unlock our phones right ? think about it all iphone 3G phones were sold on a 3 year contract so not like your going to be switching providers any time soon, and pwnagetool is for mac not for windows | ||
| - worked perfectly in less than 5 mins <3 i just cant figure out how to uninstall 3rd party apps i tried and didnt like | ||
| - ok im nooby...i did the dfu thing and im asking....do you have to restore? you lose everything. all my games and stuff do i hit restore? | ||
| - yay it worked lol. i was too impatient. XP | ||
| - yay it worked lol. i was too impatient. XP | ||
| - Hi, was able to successfully unlock and install Cydia and installer. Phone works fine but iTunes tells me that "itunes cammot read from the iPhone" and asks me to restore. any toughts? Thanks! | ||
| iphone3g-mods - i would try the process again, which itunes are you running ? maybe try to install another version. ie if you have 8.0.1 then go back to 8.0.0 | ||
| - I can't open up the QuickPwn.exe because whenever I do i get this message: To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727 | ||
| iphone3g-mods - means you need microsoft dot net installed, type it into google its a free download | ||
| - I just got a new itouch 2.1.1 is there anything i can do to it? | ||

| iphone3g-mods - new itouch 2.1.1 not supported yet | ||
| valentine - i can't open the quickpwn... "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application" what's wrong?? i've tried it 3 times with 3 different pc | ||
| iphone3g-mods - RE: yea cause we all want to unlock our phones right ? think about it all iphone 3G phones were sold on a 3 year contract so not like your going to be switching providers any time soon I think what the original poster means is that you probably should be more obvious in your guide because I now realize I can't unlock my phone because of it... now when i travel i can't bring my iphone with me to use a local SIM. I believe the iphone-dev team released yet another warning about this today. I dunno if you can read but this was addressed right when the guide was written. The first paragraph states Ok so its been 1 hour since release i though i should put together a guide on how to jailbreak 2.1 using the dev's team official method in WINDOWS. If you want to run 2.1 then you will need to update to 2.1 with itunes 8 first. Remeber this updates your baseband, keep that in mind if you want to unlock in the future. | ||

| - This post has been removed by a blog administrator. | ||
| iphone3g-mods - you cannot downgrade your firmware because the new baseband from 2.2 (modem firmware) is desgined not to work with older versions | ||
| iphone3g-mods - Anonymous - December 19, 2008 11:50 PM megaupload link: http://www.megaupload.com/$$$$$$$ dont post illegal links on my website the reason i dont have 2.1 firmware for the ipod on here because you cannot get it for free you have to pay 10$ to apple to bring your ipod first gen into version 2.0 you want it google it you will find it in seconds but dont post links on my site google "iPod1,1_2.1_5F137_Restore.ipsw index" you will find the file no problem | ||
