These are step by step instructions on how to use QuickPwn 2.1 for Microsoft Windows to unlock & jailbreak your first generation iPhone 2.1 2G/EDGE.
REQUIRED:
- iTunes 8 installed (make sure to reboot). – Download iTunes
Note: If you have already upgraded your iPhone to firmware 2.1 skip step 2.
Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage.
Download the following files and place them in this Pwnage folder you just created on your desktop:
- QuickPwn 2.1
- iPhone 2.1 ipsw Download
- bl39.bin 3.9 BootLoader Download
- bl46.bin 4.6 BootLoader Download
Unzip the QuickPwn21-1.zip file inside the Pwnage folder.
Step Two
Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone to the computer via USB cable.
Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left side navigation bar. Now hold down shift while clicking the Restore button.
Navigate to the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop and select the 2.1 firmware ipsw file. Double click the ipsw file or select it and click the Open button to proceed.
Step Three
Once iTunes has finished upgrading your iPhone to the 2.1 firmware you may launch QuickPwn 2.1 from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop.
Step Four
Make sure you iPhone is still connected to the computer via USB cable then click the blue arrow to proceed.
Step Five
Click the Browse button to locate your iPhone firmware.
Step Six
Select the 2.1 firmware ipsw file from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop then double click the ipsw file or select it then click the Open button.
Step Seven
QuickPwn will check to verify that the ipsw file is valid. After completetion of the verification, click the blue arrow button to proceed.
Step Eight
You can now select whether to Add Cydia, Add Installer, or Replace Boot Logos. Select the ones you would like to perform then click the clue arrow button. Installing Cydia and Installer is highly recommended to enjoy the full jailbreak experience.
Step Nine
You will now be prompted to select your bootloader files. Click on the Browse button and select the 3.9 bootloader from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop. Repeat this for the 4.6 bootloader file. Then click the blue arrow button to proceed.
Step Ten
QuickPwn will now ask you to confirm your iPhone is still connected via USB cable before it continues. Click the blue arrow button to proceed.
Step Eleven
QuickPwn will now automatically put your iPhone into recovery mode. Once its in recovery mode you will be prompted to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.
Note: Pay attention and do exactly as it says
Step Twelve
Once QuickPwn detects your iPhone in DFU mode it will begin the jailbreaking process.
Step Thirteen
Once jailbreaking is complete QuickPwn will inform you that it haz Pwned! Your iPhone will then reboot and run BootNeuter. Let BootNeuter do it’s thing, do not interupt it. This process will take about 5 minutes. Remember patience is a virtue. Your iPhone will reboot when it has completed.

thanks guys!
After selecting the ipsw file in step 6, step 7 is supposed to automatically verify that the ipsw file is valid.
How long is step 7 supposed to take? It does not appear that anything is happening here and the blue arrow hasn’t appeared after 10 minutes.

This worked perfect for me, i had an already jailbroken iphone (1st generation) and i followed the steps above, then open cydia and let it run and reboot and everything works fine now. when you connect to itunes for the 1st time, make sure u choose it as a “new iphone”, dont choose the restore option, and then you just have to sync you music,videos again and your done!!
it says,” No SIM card installed, Insert a valid SIM with no pin lock to activate the phone.” help me to unlock my iphone to use t-mobile SIM
I need help to make the vodafone mobile connect work on iphone in India
I have 8Gb iphone, (not 3G)updated to firmware 2.2, through Quickpwn, the vodafone mobile connect worked fine till now.
Few days back, i inserted another SIM and then put my SIM back.
Now, vodafone mobile connect is now working.
Can any one help me?
Thanks
I jailbroke my phone about 4 months ago and wifi just stoped working is that because of the software, or the phone, everything else works perfectly except for the wifi. Is there a fix or should I back up the phone and reload everything into the phone or not back up everything and reload software into phone.
By the way I have the first gen phone and everything worked perfectly for 4 months and I have 2.1
FYI Only. I recently installed a app called contact cover. It installed fine but when i went to use it, it wouldn’t show me the numbers for longer than like 2sec then went to black. I uninstalled it and it took off all my contact and force recovered. I had to do a restore to factory then reinstall QuickPwn. Like i stated earlier this is FYI and a warning.
Solution, Fixed for Wifi Greyed out after jailbreak (Iphone 2G)
If your wifi connection problem is not due to AP settings (i.e. icon greyed out), I have tried various methods and found this to be the working solution to my case. I have used all jailbreak programs (quickpwn, winpwn, ziphone and others) and found the solution fix for Wifi. Would like to share so that the rest can spend their quality time on something more productive rather than going through what i have been through.
Despite the facts of some saying downgrade and upgrade of firmware, or using different version of itune to solve the wifi greyed out, it does not matter in this process.
I am on the following env when wifi is greyed out: Vista, Itune 8.0.2.2, Firmware 2.2.1 jailbreak. tried also on a corrupted restored and it works in both cases.
Solution to the problem:
- Use Itune to shift restore your firmware back to 2.0.2
- Use winpwn to create custom firmware on 2.0.2 (if you are on ATT sim), do not need to select unlock
- Shift restore iphone using the custom firmware created by winpwn
note: if you PC does not recognize iphone, first when iphone is detected as an unknown device, delete root hub one by one and vista will redetect one of them as mobile apple device. To do restore, switch off your phone, unplug USB cable, plug it in again while holding the home button for 20secs, vista will detect it as mobile device.
Today my unlocked iPhone 2g crashed and the symptoms were a blank screen and would only vibrate when i received a call. I tried the usual turn on/off procedure to reset the phone, but that didn’t work. So i panicked and took it to the local Apple store, while there they restored my phone. And now i’m trying to unlock it myself for the first time since owning my 2g.
I downloaded the required files, but when i reach the Browse for Firmware screen and upload the firmware all it does is process and then stop and do nothing else. It says i need to have “The correct IPSW will have a name beginning with iPhone1,1_2.2.1″ so i tried uploading the one provided iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw. To no avail it doesn’t work, so i proceeded to download iPhone1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Restore. I then tried again and still nothing.
What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance =)
Ummmmmm I can’t get past step 7, it takes me nowhere, please help
*The blue arrow is unclickable, nothing happens
For those with blacked out WIFI after the upgrade: I had that too. I turned off my iPhone, turned it on again, and it connected to WIFI.
(sorry for a repeat. Long thread and I just figured it out.)
hey, i got couple of easy questions
1-can u unlock and crack it if u r with vodafone
2-if ur firmware is already 1.1.4 can u crack it anyway?
3-if ur iphone locks afterwards can u just use this system again to unlock it?
please answer them
Thankss
I have tried using the steps as suggested but im stuck on step 7. the blue continue button does not come up…. ive tried re-doing it several times but still no joy,,,, any ideas please as i now have a fully locked iphone again :(
hi there
one quetion..
should i remove my sim card before i start the procedures?
When i download the iphone 2.1 ipsw i get alot of files but not the one that u have:S and when i try to find it when i press SHIFT when i restore there is no files in the iphone1,1_2.1….. folder? Help
I have a T-Mobile sim and also got the “different sim detected please connect to itunes”. Here’s how i got it to work.
Take the att sim out of the iphone and restore to 2.1 framework through itunes without any sim card in the iphone (i used the latest version of itunes). When the restore process is almost finished itunes will prompt you to insert a unlocked sim into the iphone. Ignore the prompt and insert your t-mobile sim into the iphone. Itunes will detect that you put the wrong sim into the iphone but that doesnt matter, ignore it. then run the quickpwn process like you normally would with the t-mobile sim in your phone and you should be fine.
I have a 2G iphone with version 3.0 installed on it. I have downloaded all the files above to jailbreak the phone, but when i unzip the file iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore it doesnt save it as a ipsw file. I also tried downloading the iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore and it still doesnst save as ipsw so when i open itunes and hold down shift and click restore, i cant select this file because it just tries to open it up as a folder instead of its own ipsw file…..any suggestions?
TIA!!
I can’t work quickpwn it said it cant work without another file
I am following the instructions here and QuickPwn gets stuck on Step 6, it never validates the file (iPhone1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw).
What can I do? It has already been restored and I cant get into itunes to try another version like 2.1… Im stuck.
