Windows user have spent the last day watching jealously, as Mac users have enjoyed the new versions of QuickPwn and PwnageTool for jailbreaking and unlocking iPhone 2.1. Windows users we have good news and bad news for you so here it goes.
Good News: WinPwn 3.0 is on it’s way and will support iPhone & iPhone 3G 2.1.
From WinPwn.com:
It’s been very busy for me recently at work and I haven’t had much time to spend on WinPwn.But i’m hoping that planet/squpid and I can get the latest version out soon. I will keep you updated!
Bad News: It’s still not out and you have to continue waiting. That kind of sucks. I wish there was something I could do for you guys. Oh wait there is something I can do. As long as your iPhone or iPhone 3G has been Pwned previously all you need to do is restore a custom 2.1 firmware via iTunes 8. Here are two custom 2.1 firmware files made via PwnageTool 2.1 with default settings:
iPhone 2.1 Custom ipsw Download
iPhone 3G 2.1 Custom ipsw Download
A few observations however…
Version 2.1.0 on an iPhone 2G…
a) SMS Text is slower to open, almost two seconds…
b) Settings takes longer to open, almost two seconds.
c) WiFi at home is significantly slower, on same iPhone,
40 kB/s on Version 2.1.0,
versus 80 to 120 kB/s on Version 1.1.4.
d) EDGE is about the same, 28 kB/s…

Anyone on O2 UK DON’T you ever use it!!! It will jailbreak definitely but NO CARRIER… I tried it… I’m back on 2.0.2 again using iTunes 8 still working. For others who don’t have any MAC Laptop we just need to wait… unless you want to experiment you can try the above…
Just an additional info… that’s for iPhone 3G on O2-UK i don’t know about 2G… it will jailbreak but NO CARRIER…OK. For us in UK I guessed we just need to wait for the winpwn 3 unless you’re using a MAC.
Manny is right. Dont try custom 2.1. on your 3g. My 3g phone dont have any signal …good thing i was able to restore it. Dont waste your time downloading the file.
Here’s my advice dont waste your time with custom 2.1 . If you love your iphone stick w/ 2.0
visited this web page to solve you problem
with my thank’s
if i just switched my service provider to tmobile w/out hacking my phone, is it possible to still hack my phone w/out service? you know maybe by downloading the info and syncing it via itunes…
Acctually using iTunes is the only way (I think) that you can jailbreak a 2.1 version iPhone. You can unlock your phone to use T-Mobile, but you will need a T-Mobile SIM card.
i tired downloading custom pwn 2.1for my 16g 3g from 3 different web site and everytime i unzip the file there nothing there. am i missing a file off my computer or what am i doing wrong. if i upgrade with 2.1 from i tunes can i go back and repwn it again.
when y finish all the questions of quickpwn y have an error
Help!
I just got a new replacement iphone 2g from apple, i checked it was manufactured in mid August 2008, its not activated and i cannot connect it to itunes! its show you iphone is not activated or put a sim to activate. im using t-mobile, does quickpwn work to unlock and activate? Im not sure about the phone’s firmware… many thanks!!!
i have my iphone 2.1 hacked with quickpwn i had it since the new software upgrade came out
Ok so i have my iphone 3G and it came unlocked, will it relock if i put the new 2.1 firmware ?
My iphone is a 2g 16 gb with 1.1.4 firmware sucessfully jailbroken by zibri’s ziphone 3.0 software. Now please somebody guide me if i download the custom firmware 2.1 provided above and directly use it with i tunes8, will it work on myphone??? Please guide me.
Thanks
I have the same situation with Shishir. Will the custom firmware 2.1 with the my iphone jailbroken with Ziphone 3.0 previously?
Any shared experience is highly appreciated. Thanks a million.
WinPwn 3.0 Plaese!!!
thx for the effort guys. i used your custom ipsw on my unlocked 3g iphone running 2.0.2 (winpwn2.5 beta 2). All is fine except I don’t have signal at all :-(
what to do? I installed the bootNeuter 2.1 but after the message “determining current setting …” then after few seconds I get the following message :
“Repair Needed , iPhone cannot make or receive calls.”
I didn’t download any bootloader by myself, should I do that ? how?
Please help me I can’t use the phone :-(
so if i have pwned my 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 to 2.0.2 before, which i have, i can then just simply download that 2.1 firmware posted, upgrade itunes to 8.0.1 and then just click shift-restore and then restore it to the 2.1 firmware and everythings AOK?

Ive been trying to unlock my iphone for months with sooo many errors, thank you so much for that custom firmware!!
HI! Everybody out there. I just bought an iphone 3G 8GB with AT&T as an upgrade to my current contract. The Iphone comes with software version 2.1. I use QuickPwn 2.1 for Windows to jailbreak my phone and it work successfully, but I have no signal bars. I have no need to unlock it because I use AT&T for my service but I was under the understanding that the jailbreak would activate it as well so that I did not have to pay the data package fees if active it through their 1-800 number. Am I doing something wrong here? remember this is a Iphone 3G with custom firmware 2.1 not 2.2 which I understand changes the baseband. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You all and keep up the great work you guys are doing.

Hi.
Just to let you know…
… I had a working iPhone (not 3G) with firmware 2.0.2. After using the “iPhone 2.1 Custom ipsw Download” from this site and iTunes 8.1.1.10 the battery will no longer recharge. I am now trying to see if going to DFU Mode will help me charge it enough so that I can go back to my working 2.0.2.
An update so my battery problem:
After going into DFU mode and rebooting the battery icon on the upper corner was still red. I noticed however that SysInfo said that the battery was “Fully Charged”. It looks like that there was an battery icon problem since suddenly changed to green after a couple of rebooting.
So… I am running the 2.1 firmware found on this site with iTunes 8.1 and no problems.
I got the jailbreak thing but for some reason whenever i try tocrack it it won’t work why is this? Also, I have tried to put my phone on DFU about several times to do it and it still wont work…WHY WHY WHY WHY
:(
