The guys over at iUnlocked.org have put together this step-by-step guide on how to upgrade a 1.1.4 or previous 1st generation EDGE iPhone NOT 3G to the iPhone 2.0 firmware on Windows using WinPwn. I’ve updated the links in this guide from the original so no torrent searching will be necessary to acquire everything you need.
Step 1: Use WinPWN 1.0 To PWN Your 1.1.4 iPhone. If you need WinPWN Get it here: WinPwn v1.0.0.3 RC1 Download
WinPWN will ask for an IPSW you should use the 1.1.4 IPSW. Here is the link: iPhone Firmware v1.1.4 Download
Step 2: Install BootNeuter (Available via the classic Installer listed as 1.0)
Step 3: Run BootNeuter and have it Neuter your iphone. The selections you want are: 3.9 Bootloader, Neuter On, FakeBlank Off, Unlock On.
Step 4: Make sure your iTunes version is at 7.7
Step 5: Grab a pre-created IPSW Made with PWNAGE 2.0 Mac. You can grab one here: iPhone v2.0 Firmware Custom Download
Step 6: Grab iLiberty here: iLiberty 1.3 Windows Download
Step 7: Run iLiberty & Jump your iPhone into NORMAL Recovery mode — This is the most straightforward way to get it into the proper restore mode
Step 8: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find your custom IPSW Firmware file.
Step 9: The restore occurs (You should see a crazy pineapple while its running on your iphone). Then you should see bootneuter automatically come up (this is pwnage unlocking, activating and jail breaking your iphone).
Step 10:Enjoy 2.0 with AppStore & Cydia
NOTE: DFU Mode did NOT work for me and a lot of other people so to be safe stick with normal restore mode.
Good stuff…ipodtouched.net beat them to the punch already though. I just installed my 2.0 custom firmware through their tutorial. Let me tell you this much. I’m listening to The Tom Lykus Show on aol radio right now…Great to see this up, too. Keep it coming guys…
Thanks for this tutorial, there are even easier ways to doing this (avoiding downloading pwnage and some of the other directions) :P , but to tell you the truth… 2.0, while being on t-mobile, is 100% not worth it.
I actually downgraded back to 1.1.4 because it was slow, and i couldn’t even customize or use summerboard/bossprefs/poof etc.etc.
MY POINT OF VIEW… Installer is great, and no matter who sais “cydia is much more powerful bla bla” that is their opinion…you don’t have to use cydia unless you are required…and ATM that is your only option on 2.0… I hate it
how did you downgrade?
Hi..i have unlocked my 1.1.4 iphone but how come i can’t customize or use summerboard and some other apps? Couls you help me what must I do. thanx
Im already using 2.0 and although i am on at&t i would still love my phone jailbroken and to have cydia but these guides just show you how to do it from 1.1.4, what if you are already on 2.0?
Then I’m sure you can just do a Restore with the Custom IPSW.
How did i downgrade asks chris…
Download a program called ziphone patched by kiremk. It allows you to ierase and downgrade any bootloader version.
So if you pwned your phone, your phone can STILL be downgraded…all you need to do is download the original 1.1.4 file from apple and try restoring using that. And after that, use the program to downgrade the bootloader version, and to ierase it (virginize). After this is done, you will be left with 1.1.4, as well as its firmware version.
Hi there,
Could somebody please explain in words a 4 year old would understand please…….
How do you put bootneuter on a 1st gen iphone?
It may sound like a crazy question but I just haven’t a clue, please help, I think I’m losing my mind!
Gav, Spain.
You Jailbreak your iPhone so you can get the Installer.app on the Screen – Click it, once you’re in the Menu, search for BootNeuter. Once you’ve installed it, do this:
Run BootNeuter and have it Neuter your iPhone. The selections you want are: 3.9 Bootloader, Neuter On, FakeBlank Off, Unlock On.
That’ll get you on your way to unlocking and jailbreaking your iPhone. Hope it helps :)
For the rest, just read the guide – It’s pretty simple to follow!
Awsome guide, worked perfectly. thanx alias.
hi there i want to ask this: my iphone is 1.1.4 already unlocked,activated and jailbreaked and i wanna upgrade to 2.0…so what is the pwning on 1.1.4 for??
basically what i wanted to ask is to use winpwn we have to have our iphone in 1.1.4 official or it should be 1.1.4 unlocked,activated and jailbroken??
Hi,
Is this going to work with windows xp? pls advise.Thanks much!
this worked really wel but i want installer also because cydia sucks how do i get installer? (i used the process above to unlock and jailbreak)
Well, I think since 2.0, the Installer.app has become obsolete as you can get most of the apps from the Apps Store now. And you don’t have to reset everytime :)
hi,
i have a doubt. Since every walk through of doing this in windows is asking for pwning for a 1.1.4 IPSW, my question is, do we have to load this 1.1.4 IPSW after neutering the bootloader on the iphone, and the flash the new 2.0 custom firmware?
Secondly: can anyone point me to a pwned IPSW which has the default bootloader and DFU images other than the pineapple and the steve jobs images?
if anyone can help me out. pls reply to a.rishwan@gmail.com
>> if someone can help me out on this I will carry it out on my Iphone and let you all know how it went through!
Hey,
I’m ready to update to 2.0, but have one question. I’m running a unlocked/jail broken iphone on the 1.1.2 firmware. Do I have to upgrade to 1.1.4 first, or can I just start pwning?
Thanks guys, for all the contributers, great job!
I already had my 1.1.4 unlcoked, jb, activated using Zibri’s Ziphone.
I skipped skip a few steps out and start at step #3.
After I installed it BootNeuter lanched and I am using the phone ok on Vodafone UK netowrk with Iphone 2.0.
Seems to be working ok.
is there a package deal to all this patchin here and there like ziphone. window xp user.

Can someone give me the steps to upgrade from 1.1.3 to 2.0?
Anybody have any luck getting T-Mobile Edge with the $5.99 plan working under 2.0?
Did some more searching and the Cydia T-Mobile Hack under Tweaks worked for me. I have a 1st gen iphone running 2.0.
just want to get some clarification before i try this out….does it retain my contacts, music files, etc….or i will need to re-sync after the upgrade to 2.0 is completed?
I have iphone 1.1.3, can I update to 2.0? Please someone show me how. thank you
