These are step by step instructions on how to use QuickPwn 2.1 for Microsoft Windows to jailbreak your second generation iPhone 3G 2.1
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:
Unzip the QuickPwn21-1.zip file inside the Pwnage folder.
Step Two
Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone 3G 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 3G 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 3G 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 3G 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
QuickPwn will now ask you to confirm your iPhone 3G is still connected via USB cable before it continues. Click the blue arrow button to proceed.
Step Ten
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 Eleven
Once QuickPwn detects your iPhone 3G in DFU mode it will begin the jailbreaking process.
Step Twelve
Once jailbreaking is complete QuickPwn will inform you that it was successfull.
when will we be able to UNLOCK 3g???? :(
yes it worked!!!!i’m trying it out now.
i cant duit
WTF this stupid shit doesnt work it just made my phone flip out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOBODY USE THIS SHIT
i know, same thing happen to mine!
Dont listen to that dousche, there is no 3G unlock, unless you buy the card that does it.
hey bobtea52 where can i find this card and what’s good fr the price in your opinion? i dont want to get shystered g
your a dumb fuck, there is a ulock cause my cuz did it on his phone
Why are people so rude and hostile on bulletin boards. It’s cowardly. You’d never speak like that face-to-face to a stranger, so why do it online?
because they know that they wont get their asses beaten online and they also have no lives other than to freaking make negative e comments online so how do you sound? you sound pretty stupid.
you are an idiot.. it works.. so shut the hell up and do what the instructions say.. its not that hard retard..
dont even lie
u can unlock a 3G
I Just did it to my 3g and it worked perfect thanks alot
I need some help I’m trying to jb my 3g I get up to step six, I try opening the file that I’m supposed to browse for but when I try to open it is says file is emty the file is supposed to end with ispw but it says zip on mine I’m using winzip to open quckpwn. What am I doing wrong???
Jailbreak FW 2.2:
http://rapidshare.com/files/166435504/QuickPwn22.zip
hey sorry but when i get to step 6 it just stays there and nothing happens and i have been staring at the screen for almost one hour (and i am not joking)
any help would be apreciated
THis def. works thanks a lot
how? mine stays dead for two days so far
im stuck on step 7! its recognizing my file, but i cant continue with the blue arrow! what do i do now?
I have a iPhone 3G 16G 2.1. I’m trying to use the Quickpwn 2.1 for Windows. After it tells me to make sure my phone’s connected, I get the screen about browsing for the restore file and even though it’s selected, I never get the checkmark on the phone graphic and the arrow at the bottom right never turns blue. What am I doing wrong? Did you find a solution?
yea its doin the same for me
we already can?
For some reason, ever since I upgraded to iTunes 8, the shift-click of restore doesn’t work any differently than the normal click. Could it be that I’m on Vista 64?
I’ve noticed that some other people have the same problem, but as of yet, I haven’t seen anyone address this with a workaround.
does this work with 2ng gen itouch???
worked best on iphone 3g
Thank you
I LOVE YOU
we can download soft unlock iphone 3g where?
after the jailbreak, do you have any chance of getting your iphone 3g back to its un-jailbroken state? if so, how? thanks!
Just connect it to iTunes and restore it.
You can’t just restore it. You have to put it in dfu mode, then restore it.
Yes, you can “just restore it”. I did the jailbreak on my mac mini, but had a fresh install and backup of the original stuff on my windows box. I ran into a few issues myself, and didnt feel like hammering them out, but once i plugged it back into the windows box, and did a restore, it was all like new.
Seems like it worked fine for my 3g.
But as I am a newbe, what now?
Just enjoy!!1! Make sure that you make a backup of all your stuff though, just incase you have to restore.
how do you make a backup of all your stuff??
just go through and syncronise everything in itunes
please tell me why with my 3g iphone, i never recover from the reboot after the jailbreak. am i doing something wrong. i leave it connected on the jailbreak process and after the pineapple pops up rebooting after that, i get the white apple and the black background am i doing something wrong. please help. PLease, i want this jailbroken sooo badd..
did you ever get a answer to your question on 11/15/2008 i am having the same problem.
no, i hope i get a reply, i have tried like 10 times and nothing. l leave it hooked up to the computer for the longest and nothing. i all tapped out.
It turns out that the startup was failing because it was missing BossPrefs, 5 icon dock, Springboard, etc. I suspect it was trying to find one of these jailbreak apps I had previously installed at startup, failed and kept restarting. I kind of found this by trial and error. Because jailbreaking with QuickPwn worked on my iPhone if I reset my iPhone to factory settings by using

i figured it out. what u have to do is restore your iphone back to factory setting, not backup. once restored then you jailbreak and you should see cydia and intaller. when you see these add boss pref, 5 icon doc, and spingboard. after that then restore to previous back up.
hey i have the same problem, when i jailbreak it, after it never reboots its stuck on the silver apple logo, how did you get it to work???
I see before Install a pop up that said “it only works for 2.0, but it says on the download its for BOTH! plus I get an error after restored the phone when I tried putting apps back onto my phone. tried the itunes thing to pull the phone out of the coma. what can I do to save this thing?
thanks this worked great for me!!
wow this is a record for me…
i’ve owned the thing for 2 hours from the ATT Store and have already PWNED it!
Great How TO! Works well my 3G iPhone!
FTW!!!
(maybe i should actually make a phone call with it now…)
Not working
so does this work or not?
Seems to have worked fine on my 3g from Rogers.
i got a 3g through att’s network and the process worked great. but now there’s no bars on my att signal strength indicator… can’t make calls out now…anyone have any idea whats wrong?
i have the same probleme can u plz help me out with it , if u erselve it ? thanks,
cheers,
You guys just need to restore and retry….but this time after the checkmark appears in quickpwncontinue to hold down the home button, until have way of the instaling jailbreak data is done!
Addressing problem: can’t use dial key pad for out going call after jailbreak.
This is due to an installation of a program call Kate. Simply hit the “installer” app That came with when u jailbreak, find the program call Kate. Hit on it n upper right corner will shown an Uninstall button. Uninstall this program will solve the problem. Aiight peace out enjoy ur new jailbreak phone n alot credit goes out to the Dev team for constantly breaking new bounderies . Awesome work by far.
same here HELP!
I held the Home button all the way and I still get the same problem!!! Please advise.
I’ve had this happen with a previous version of winpwn. The way I found around it was to treat it as a *new* device instead of an existing on in iTunes when iTunes discovered it again after the process was complete.
You need to Jailbreak your Iphone in another computer that version of Itunes is low than 8.0.
Only for 2.1
Worked great for me. One problem. My email does not open, it starts to open then it closes. I haven’t been able to send or receive any email thru email app since jailbreak. Any ideas?
Install SyncFix via Installer.app
1. Open Installer and add the iClarified source (http://installer.iClarified.com)
2. Install SyncFix (under dev 1.1.3)
this usually works – you may have to do a clean restore if not… good luck all!
Hi
i tried your method, when all done, and when i power the phone up, it stops at the new logo there forever, how long do i need to wait ?
no luck yet ?
i will try again shortly and let you know…
I had the same issue. I started iTunes and replugged in the phone. iTunes started to sync it, I canceled and haven’t had a problem since. I’ve also powered off the phone and powered back up, no problems but it does seem to take a little more time.
iTunes 8.0 is NOT required to Upgrade and Jailbreak the iPhone 3G or Update, Jailbreak and Unlock the iPhone 2G.
You can do it all using iTunes 7.7.1.11
And QuickPwn.
Pwnagetool will not work, as it requires iTunes to perform the install.
It’s too simple.
Put your iPhone in Recovery or DFU mode
and Restore the iPhone using the correct 2.1 firmware file using iTunes 7.7.1.11 (7.7.0.43 or previous versions may also work.)
2G = iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw
3G = iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw
Then Launch QuickPwn and follow the simple steps till completed.
Congrats its done!
So Can you use iTunes 7.7.x.xx with the iPhone?
NO, you will need iTunes 8.0 if you want to use iTunes to manage music, video etc..
Solution?
Don’t use iTunes ;)
Try one of the many Great iTunes Alternatives for managing iPhone data.
- i-FunBox
- iPhone Browser
etc.
Re: 3G Unlock
There is NO 3G UNLOCK!
There are SIM Devices that claim they can unlock
but all they do is spoof the Carrier ID and are VERY VERY ILLEGAL in some states like the US it is considered and ACT OF TERRORISM just to use one. (Not Joking!)
When will there be a 3G Unlock?
Don’t hold your breath, you’ll die before it’s released :P
Re: Shift + Click Restore
iTunes 8.0 is is patched to prohibit this.
There is a work around for the iPod Touch and hopefully one for the iPhone soon.
Just use iTunes 7.7.x.xx to upload hacked 2.1 firmware files.
Unlocking your device is NOT illegal… problem is with the way it does it. Getting a unlock code from your carrier is fine but the way it tricks the phone might be the problem.
HOWEVER, there is a huge difference in this because you’re are not stealing or have any advantage other then using the phone with another carrier, just like any unlocked phone.
I highly doubt the FBI will come knocking down your door just because you’re using your iPhone on T-Mobile… it isn’t like you’re trying to steal minutes or clone anyone’s phone number…
If I paid $700 for a phone that I can say I own, I better well be able to use it anyway I like!
IMO, main reason AT&T and Apple lock the damn thing in the first place is because they want to lock you into a 2 year contract with at least $70/mo payment, for services you may or may not use all of! That is ridiculous and outright thief in my eyes. Here in China, I am able to pay $3 monthly fee for free incoming calls and $2/mo for 100MB of internet service. This is enough for me to check my emails, get directions, google stuff, and I still have MBs left over…
another note, I have 8.0 and it worked on mine. Maybe because I upgraded from 7.7?
Great Comment!!!!! Agreed!!… Its not illegal…. Anyways Trying to Jailbreak! cant wait..bye
I never said unlocking the iPhone was illegal, although it could very well be in some countries.
I was referring to the use of proxy-SIM devices such as TurboSIM which send illegal signals to the networks.
“proxy-SIMs replace the MCC / MNC with test IMSI codes, leaving the MSIN untouched. Then it restarts the SIM giving the correct IMSI afterwards. Unfortunately the iPhone asks the SIM exactly one time for the IMSI, it doesn’t care about the restart. So effectively the login into the cellular network is done in test IMSI mode. Now it is up to your provider, how it handles such requests.”
“If your provider accepts the test IMSI code and does authentication with your MSIN (this implies, (real) roaming is not possible, as only _your_ provider can process MSIN correctly)”
The Use of a proxy-SIM is illegal in Australia and many more
countries.
Almost all proxy-SIMs for the 3G iPhone send a fake IMSI (001/01) to the carrier network.
Modification of the GSM and UMTS data between the network is considered highly illegal in most countries.
Risks? Sure they might not hunt you down, but you might risk your real IMSI beeing blacklisted.
DevTeam recommendation: Steer clear, don’t use!
Check the site for comments on the use of proxy-SIMs

P.S.
Just cause it works here and now, doesn’t mean it will work when and where you go.
thanks mate!
it works great for me!
cheers!
can someone clearify that it actually works for att’s network 3g iphone or not? i did everything right but it locked me out of att’s network and i can’t make or receve calls…plz help!
QuickPwn does not unlock your phone it just enables it to use certain applications? And by the comments I DO NOT need to upgrade my iTunes to 8.0? I have version 7.4.1.2.
you’re right I have same problem so what do u think?
Thank you, this guide worked flawlessly and I just finished jailbreaking my 3G iPhone! :) Can’t wait to browse Cydia and Installer!
does this really work
first question
if i already have the itunes 8 an firmware 2.1 do i even need to touch i tunes
an do u have to have itunes open while you are jailbreaking
an when u startt the jailbreak your iphone has to be on
OK The restore with the file given worked…but when i try to open QuickPwn.exe it gives me “QuickPwn has encoutered a problem and needs to close”….any ideas how to fix that???
WE NEED CLARITY. Can Itunes be used? for all those that have done this ], please confirm. As well, I’m a noob to this topic, how do i restore the iphone back to factory settings in case i need to make a warranty claim?
im planning on getting an iphone 3g, but i have to ask. im from hk and the official carrier is 3, and im using 3 right now with my other phone. so if i get an iphone 3g, do i need to use winpwn or can i use quickpwn and it’ll work fine
i’ve used winpwn for my ipod touch, so which one will work better for iphone 3g?
Easiest pwn ever! maybe because i’ve pwn’d 1.3 1.4 and 2.0 of my touch. got the 3g and pwn’d this thing in less than 5 minutes (after downloading required files)
Can we please get a clear answer and/ or instructions on how to free an iphone 2g from the “unrecognized SIM” issue with 2.1 firmware. I just bought an iphone on ebay, took the time to jailbreak with 8.0, 2.1, got a sim card from Tmobile and this f’ing SIM card issue gets me at what seemed like the end of a long process. I get zero At&t in my neighborhood and thought I had finally found a resolution to my problems. Please help or give us a link that will.
i got a 3g through fido s network and the process worked great. but now there
Just finished the process.. it work flawlessly!!! –
awesome.. I love it.
I follow all these steps and the phone booted it up fine. By i am unable to see Cydia/Installer..anyone help?
This is great! it works perfectly with my iphone 3G 2.1
Thanks a lot…
thank you guys..
so does this work with an iphone 3g on rogers? Is there any chance it will ruin your service with your carrier?
Work on my iPhone 3G.
Thanks you so much.
I tried running QuickPwn.exe on WinXP, but it said “The application failed to initialize properly”. So I’m wondering if this only runs on Vista.
yes the same happened to me
haha thank god it crashes BEFORE you get a potential brickphone.
Great stuff! Brand new iphone 3G activated from AT&T and with-in 15 minutes, all was done…
Now using my 3G in China! Works great! Everything works… You Tube, EDGE (no 3G here yet), Maps (missing lots of roads though, Sat view works)…
Anyone need to know how I got it to work, email me! mulder_gs at hotmail dot com.
Worked fine on my iPhone 3g 2.1… and everything is still working.
I had my iphone for 2 weeks and was searching the net for the jailbreaking software. There was a lot of bullshit out there but your site helped me. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
If my iphone is not activated can I still jailbreak it? In other words do I have to activate it first? I don’t want to sign up with AT&T…
You people are geniuses.. works perfectly on my iPhone 3g with at&t
I used Quickpawn to unlock my iphone 2.1 no problem so far, however now the phone recognises my Voda sim card but the display is the itunes disk and cable, itunes 8 does not recognise the sim card.
Can any one shed any light on this one for me?
email phildavies1969@btinternet.com
thanks

Please help.
You need to install the .Net Framework for this to work.

How do I use installer to get apps?

do i need to go back to the 7.7 version of i-tunes after??? Plz!!!!!!???? Thanks!!!!!
I didn’t think that this would actually work, seeing as there are so many other crap methods out there, but this really did work for me!!
My iPhone 3G is now jailbroken successfully and shows a nice little pineapple on the bootscreen as well!
Results all round!
Very good tutorial, kudos to you my man!
worked great, iPhone 3g is now unlocked, but i tried it with my T-mobile sim and did not get anywhere……..any ideas.
thanks
You didn’t unlock, you jailbreakededed
ok if that’s jailbreaking, then how to unlock?
a Prepaid AT&T sim works but not the t-mobile sim :(
someone please help..
I can not download the second map .ipsw There is only text when I download it on a new page in webbrowser. Anyone can help me please?
WOW, for some reason after I did the QuickGold update that I ended up having to do a restore, I have had nothing but problem in trying to redo my jailbreak (even though I’ve done it over a dozen times…) but this worked PERFECT and didn’t even loose my apps!!
Thanks!!!!
Nick
The jail break was Great. The jailbreak instruction was clear and easy to follow. everything was fine and now I m enjoying the downloads…..fantastic!! Any instruction should be presented in this way. Well done.
by the way, can someone share with me how to disable the pineapple reboot icon and restore to the apple icon?
Thanks.
Stargateonly
I have a similar problem. I made it a point to ensure that the pineapple logo wasn’t select during quickpwn, but it still replaced my boot logo anyway!
as frustrating as it is, it’s a small price to pay for this wonderful service!!
I bought a 3G iphone in Switzerland that is locked to Orange in Switzerland and I cannot activate it as I do not live there. Will this work for activation of the iphone as well as unlocking.
Please help :-)
Thanks
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
i needed to update my iphones OS becuase some of the apps i downloaded did not work with 2.0.2.
awesome tutorial
cheers,
C.
Can anyone advise me how to change the pineapple reboot logos to the original apple logos after the jailbreak?
Many thanks
Stargateonly
Yes, I got the pinapple logo as well. Is it possible to change back to the apple logo?
Please advise.
thanks!
Jack
hi..will this process enable me to use other simcards from other carriers/network companies?
No, that´d be UNLOCK, not jailbreak.
Hello there,
I dont think this process could have been any easier. I just got a new 3g iphone about a month ago. I’ve never done anything like this before but I’m pretty savvy when it comes to cell phones.The instructions were super clear and now my iphone is jailbroken. Thanks alot!
can this jailbreak process be done with windows xp as well as vista?
IN TO AMTRYING TO FIGURE OURT IF THIS WILL WORK WIY
TH XP PLEASE HELP
I also wrote an article in my blog to jailbreak iphone 2.1 in windows xp.
http://junxian-huang.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-jailbreak-iphone-with-firmware.html
I successfully jailbroke two iphones recently.
My approach is similar to yours, but a little different.
Why cant I open the Quickpwn.exe file? I keep getting the application erroe stating that the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Ive tried it on two comp in my house and same error message. Im getting very frustrated. Can anyone tell me why Im getting this and how I can get Quickpwn.exe to open.
thanks in advance.
For those of you who are having this same issue of quickpwn.exe not working, you 1st need to make sure you have .net framework installed. If you don’t, then you can download on microsoft website. Just do a google search for it and you’ll find it.
I have previously jail break my iphone 2.02,
If i update it to 2.1 and jail break,
will my data be lost?
hi..will this process enable me to use other simcards from other carriers/network companies?
hi..will this process enable me to use other simcards from other carriers/network companies?
I did everything as it says and it said it was successful but now my phone will not boot up. it just stays on the boot screen.
Please help
Did you fix it? I have the same prob….
Hi, I just want to clearly understand 2 issuaes:
- does the jailbreaking interfere with your activation process or something (I use iPhone 3G with Movistar in Spain, have it activated and not yet jailbroken)
- if anything goes wrong can you get back and un-jailbreak the phone (so the warranty is not void)? is it enough to restore it by iTunes to do so?
Thanks guys
nice… thanks for the help.
Just as a tip, the first time i tried this, i did not allow iTunes to activate the phone before the jailbreak, and after the jailbreak, i had no signal (could not place or receive calls). the second time, after the reload from iTunes, i allowed it to activate, then continued with the jailbreak process, and voila, everything worked great!
so: allow iTunes to activate the iPhone BEFORE you jailbreak if you have problems with no signal after the jailbreak…
hi..will this process enable me to use other simcards from other carriers/network companies?
no
i use the above method can come to the stage to click on the “QuickPwn” logo and the following msg appear:
to run this version you need the following .NET.Framework: v2.0.50727 to be installed.
Can someone help me to overcome this? Thanks.
download .net from microsoft… ;) it’s a free download, go to http://update.microsoft.com find and install .net 2.0
thanks! I just installed cydia and installer…
I have downloaded the iPhone 3G 2.1 ipsw file to the Pwnage folder but when I try to restore the iPhone 3G from iTunes (8) I can’t find the see the file (.ipsw) which I need to open. Does anybody know what is wrong?
I have tried with both Vista and XP as well as I have unzipped the 237 MB .ipsw file – but nothing seems to help the problem. Thank you very much for your help.
You have to change the file extension to .ipsw
Does anyone know why when I try to open Quickpwn that i get an error msg saying that “I need to install v 2.0.50727 of the .NET Framewrk” to open it??

i jailbroke iphone 3g…now i have no att network connection…any ideas?
I can’t get the quickpwn past where it says “preparing your device
do i hav to download the 2.1 software thru itunes aswell as the one at the start of this?
After I jailbreak my Iphone 3g it ran really slow then locked up on the phone app. I could receive calls but could not make any. Any ideas.

please help!!! I bought An Iphone in italy it is unlocked. I have voda but can use 3 or Tim or orange as well. I bought it for 499 euros no contract no nothing. I have xp sp2 itunes 8 and donwloaded quickpwn 2.1. The Iphone ipsw file i dowmloaded as .zip and changed it to .ipsw. I follow the instructions but at the tricky part i arrive holding the home button for 10 secs not 30 i release and when it gets to uploading ramdisk it freezes at a third of the status bar. I get this kind of mes: error make sure your device is connected and you have not followed the instructions correctly. . Now from the beginning do i have to: hold the HOME button for 5sec then release and rapidly hold home and power for 10sec and the home again for 30 secs even if it goes to the next phase after only 10sec.?my computer is not connected to the internet.please respond
when this error comes up, dont do anything, dont click on it, just wait. the process is still being done.
Connect your iphone to another usb port. The one at the back of comp. is better.
My Iphone is on 2.1 firmware please be very clear at the tricky part….i use it in italy…do i need to download the .ipsw? Is .zip good if i change the termination?
Hey guys, I jailbroke my iPhone last week. I am now having issues when making calls. The answer end call does not appear, only the “touch to return to call” at the top of the screen comes up. As well, I have to reboot the phone after a call because I cannot end the call. It seems to be running a bit slow too. Anyone have any advice at all? Thanks alot guys!
mine done the same. if you figure it out will you plz email me and let me know what to do. thanks.
YAY! It worked. Had a hard time for a while with the QuickPwn app crashing. Did some research and it was .NET that needed to be installed. Hope that tidbit of info helps someone else. It took me almost an hour to figure it out. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Hi.
1. Do i lose the guarantee of the iphone if i Jailbreak it? Or if i restore it after, it will be as i never jailbreaked it?
2. Which are the differences between Cydia and Installer? Are they 2 separated ‘worlds’ where i can find all that free applications? Why do i need both? Are one better than the other?
3. Which is the purpose of replacing boot logos? Why do i need it?
Tks in advance =) []

I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF I CANT GO TO THE OFFICIAL FIRMWARE OF APPLE IF I JAILBREAK MY IPHONE 3G NOW BECOZ I WILL NEED TO GIVE THE IPHONE BACK BECAUSE MINE IS RENTED
since the jailbreak every else works fine except that the phone Icon does not launch,launches for 2 seconds then crashes so I cannot dial new numbers using keyboad or go to recent calls or voicemail. Please help….
will this actually work on my iphone 3g i already 2.1 should i actually do this or not
i really dont want my iphone to screw up if i do this im great at doing these things but i dont seem to trust the program
is the anyone who can respond to these questions???
Great guide! Nice small and easy steps. Worked like a charm on my week old 3G phone!
Thanks
Awesome jailbreak detail. Worked like a charm! Does anyone know how to import all of your contacts that you had in your iPhone 3G before jailbreaking? I need some help please!
Thanks
Awesome, it works! I have Gevey 3G turbosim, at&t sim card (from my old GoPhone) and iPhone 3G brought from Canada. After installing QuickPWN it seems that almost everything works fine including iTunes synchronization.
HOWEVER, I cannot use 3G network, iPhone just does not show any UMTS cells. I opened Field Test (*3001#12345#*) and it confirmed that there is no UMTS connection available. I live in downtown Manhattan, it just could not be true.. 3G network is enabled in Network settings. Does anybody else experience the same problem? Is it due to Gevey card or this is the side effect of QuickPwn?
Can I use this to jailbreak Voda 3G AU?
It worked absolutely fine and was very easy to do it. I was wondering when can we unlock 3g.
Okay, I got it – the turbosim seller said that UMTS is not yet supported by Gevey, so it’s not the result of jailbreaking. Sad news, though..
will this work on mac?
Brilliant, Worked first time on VIsta
THanks guys!!
hi there i have sucsesfully jailbraek the 3g but it is still locked for some sims.
is there anyone have an idea for that
i want to unlock the 3g for different network providers.
Worked like a fucking charm … im lying .. My first try I didn’t follow the instruction right when it was time to put the phone in DFU mode .. Instead of holding down the home bottom first I just held down the power and the home .. It went into DFU mode but it jus sat there and didn’t go thought the rest of the steps … after about 10min or so I started to worrie cause the screen was blk and nothing was happening — I unplugged the phone only to see that it wouldn’t turn back on — at that point I was starting to freak out — but I plugged it into Itunes,, it restored it .. Restored my contacts so of course I tried it again following everything to the letter and it worked perfect .. So I guess it did work like a charm — and ive got the 3G 2.1 ATT in texas using vista .. couldn’t get it to work on xp

works a charm! cheerz
Will this work for an iPhone 3g 2.0.2 already jailbroken?
if i upgrade to 2.1, will it brick the phone?
Please help
In order to install 3rd party apps from your computer, or cracked apps, use WINscp and SSH them to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. Just google: How to iPhone WINscp SSH. And look around or use this link
http://limitededitioniphone.com/windows-guide-to-using-winscp-with-iphone/
There should be something that will help you.
can nt open quickpwn21-1.zip
its say there is a error plzz help me 2 open it
Just again for people who have gone throught his proces and are not recieving any signal (and therefor can’t make or recieve calls).
Simply use iTunes to restore your phone to the downloaded firmware. When it restarts you should have your signal back.
Now just go through the process again and make sure you don’t let go of that home button until QuickPwn gets through its checklist.
Now you will have a jailbroken phone and signal strength. Huzzah.
P.S. I know the above has already been spoken about on this page but it seems people are still having issues and missing previous comments that explain how to get around the problem. I just thought I’d throw another explanation in. To help the visibility of the solution. :D
I have turbosim. After jailbreak I can make calls but cannot receive calls. When I restore to the downloaded firmware it says invalid SIM. This used to work fine before I connected to itunes 8. Now I am out of luck.
if i want to remove jailbreak all i need is hit restore in itunes?
i found it here sorry :D
thanks alot :)
It works!! I’ve got an iphone 8gb version 1.0 (2g). i use i-tune v8.0 and quickpwn 2.1 …i’ve followed all the steps and download neccessery files and tried to do it myself and it works perfectly :) (bare in mine i’m very noob with computer). now my iphone is v2.1 and can use any sim network on it. I haven’t found any fault or bug yet.
Hi,
I like to ask does anyone who use this method successfully to unlock/jailbreak iphone to get a pinapple logo on start up instead of apple logo?
I am looking if any way you can change to the real apple logo?
Just checking will other jailbreaking/unlock method, such as ziphone, show anything other than apple logo?
If anyone know pls advise.
thanks
jack
if you find a link to a STABLE jailbreak (not one that’s 50/50 chance bullcrap) then PLEASE POST IT! we’re dying over here in canada for the jailbreak!
honestly thanks for the guide but this does not work.
i’ve tried to load the software on 2 vista machines and 2 xp machines and it crashes every time, at different points in the restore process (thank GOD my phone wasnt bricked in the process, the crashes happened before i started the jailbreak firmware “dump”)
seriously i’ve scoured the internet for a stable iphone 3g jailbreak and there simply isn’t one available yet, which is too bad bc there are some good apps that apple hasn’t released for one reason or another.
seriously, apple, your iphone is great and all, but no camcorder? opera or browser alternatives? lock screen notifications besides call/text/alarm/calender? LAME!
seriously best of luck trying it though.
able to jailbreak iphone 3g successfully. Its really easy.
Thanks to Dev team.
Great Job ..!!! keep doing..
WOW!!!!……….AWESome… I tried with winpwn for about 1 night and 1 day and i failed.
But with quickpwn you know…. i made it in JUST 1 chance! its really easy. it supports iTunes 8.0 and its simply kool… gotta go… i have to catch those kool apps. neways anyone need ne help. i will b glad… most welcome. But most probably i need to use third party file management soft for data transfer. Thanx All of you… so much…!!!
i have tried this over and over hoping it will finally work and it keeps giving me message saying we are sorry but quickpwn has encountered a problem and has to close.. help?
After I busted the glass lcd screen on my iPhone 3G i sent it to http://www.rapidrepair.com to get it fixed. They repaired it like new and then when i got it back i was able to jailbreak it!! I love it.

I’ve been so excited with my new Jailbroken phone that I’d not even noticed I’ve not got any of my aps or songs on there thing yet. :)
So here’s the deal. I have purchased a number of songs on my iPhone in my pre-Jailbreak days as well as some applications.
What do I need to do to start using my iPhone with iTunes again (keeping it Jailbroken of course). Whenever I plug in my iPhone I get asked if I wish to restore or setup as a new phone. What do I do? Do I run the risk of losing music/aps I have purchased?
Setup as a new iPhone and all your music and apps previously purchased will be sync back.
Can anyone help me, i just did the jailbreak on my 3g and i’m having problems with my battery not charging, and when i pay my bill over the phone, when i’m prompted to press #1 it won’ recognize it. please help. my main concern would be my battery. it won’t charge.
mate, this works perfectly!!!! you rock!
Worked perfectly. No issues
Can you still put more itunes on the iphone after it’s been jailbroken?

i did the jailbreak on my new 3g and it went smooth ,,i used windows vista and no problems ,, these directions is so easy if u cant figure it out u must lean to read!!!! thanks to all the hackers plus steve id the man!!
Hi, every time when i run QuickPw.exe at Step Ten, this apl crash!!!
i don’t know why? i’ve got XP w/SP3
why why?
Everything works fine for me right up until the point with the 5 simple steps to follow.
When my iphone reboots it shows the itunes logo saying i must plug my iphone into itunes and then recover it. I done this and then tried quickpwn again and the same logo appears when it gets to the 5 steps part again.
Basically itunes seems to be intervening and making me recover with itunes EVERY TIME my phone restarts.
If you can talk me through this my email is alexkelly92@googlemail.com i would really appreciate any help
It works perfectly. A so easy step by step. Thx !!!!
hey im very thankful for this, it’s great, thank you so much :)
Thanks alot it worked perfectly!
Hey this program is great. Fast and easy. Jailbroke my phone in under ten minutes. Great job guys.

raz0r87 – yes it did but I just then went to iTunes and restored the last backup which worked fine.
However I have a problem, I jailbroke my 2.0.2 last week and lost the ability to make calls (this thing with the green button losing the word “call” and then going back to the menu after 5 seconds.
So today I decided to upgrade to 2.1 then rejailbreak however in the meantime they released 2.2!!!!
Can I download the 2.1 independently and restore that via DFU rather than getting 2.2? then jailbreak or is it only possible to downgrade a firmware that way?
hi there
i jailbreak my iphone 3g successfully. it’s working fine and i could make a call after that, but after 6 hours, the phone shows no service and a lock picture shows between the word “no service” and time. i borrowed my sister AT&T simcard put in, it still show no service. other functions work fine….what should i do?…help me please
After you jailbreak your iphone you also need to purchase a turbo sim that will make your iphone think that sim from a different network is O.K.
usin quickpwn will only let u acess your iphone but minus the calling part. U need a TURBO SIM!
I didn’t feel like typing this again, so I have just copy / pasted the posting I made really high above.
_____________________________________________
I never said unlocking the iPhone was illegal, although it could very well be in some countries.
I was referring to the use of proxy-SIM devices such as TurboSIM which send illegal signals to the networks.
“proxy-SIMs replace the MCC / MNC with test IMSI codes, leaving the MSIN untouched. Then it restarts the SIM giving the correct IMSI afterwards. Unfortunately the iPhone asks the SIM exactly one time for the IMSI, it doesn’t care about the restart. So effectively the login into the cellular network is done in test IMSI mode. Now it is up to your provider, how it handles such requests.”
“If your provider accepts the test IMSI code and does authentication with your MSIN (this implies, (real) roaming is not possible, as only _your_ provider can process MSIN correctly)”
The Use of a proxy-SIM is illegal in Australia and many more
countries.
Almost all proxy-SIMs for the 3G iPhone send a fake IMSI (001/01) to the carrier network.
Modification of the GSM and UMTS data between the network is considered highly illegal in most countries.
Risks? Sure they might not hunt you down, but you might risk your real IMSI beeing blacklisted.
DevTeam recommendation: Steer clear, don’t use!
Check the site for comments on the use of proxy-SIMs
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/44428446/updates
P.S.
Just cause it works here and now, doesn’t mean it will work when and where you go.
If after the jailbreak you can’t make dial calls because the phone dialer freezes and goes back to the main menu, try this:
1- Uninstall Kate from Installer: this is what everyone recommends, seems to work for a lot of people but didn’t work for me.
2- Then go to Installer again and uninstall these apps:
A) Mobile enhancer
B) RIP DEV preferences
3- Reboot your iPhone.
That’s what I did and got my dial pad back again.
Hope this helps someone, I spent like three hours searching for a solution…
You are the absolute bomb! This had been driving me crazy for days. I had removed Kate before and got the phone to funtion, this time when I removed Kate it didn’t work. Removing the damn MOBILE ENHANCER finally got my phone to work again. Muchas Gracias amigo!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
it was the stupid mobile enhancer thing that was screwing my phone up too, this was very helpful
if keeps telling me i have an error number 5 what the fuck is going on…
someone please help me before i go crazy
I followed the graphic instructions, and this also worked on my iphone 3G from at&t which was running the latest 2.2 firmware.
No glitches at all i sucessfully Jailbroke my iphone 3G and installed Cydia and Installer. ALSO HAVE MY ORIGINAL APPLE LOGO WHEN MY PHONE BOOTS AND TURNS OFF. Thank you Alias420 !!
i have Activated + Jailbreaked iphone 3g
with 2.2 firmware in it …….
will my bsnl ,idea or airtel sim card work in it
No, you have only Jailbroken it, NOT unlocked it. By Jailbraking you’re iphone, it enables you to now install 3rd party applications through Installer and Cydia.
If you are in India, it will still work only with Airtel or Voda, whichever carrier you bought it from.

ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE WHO DID THE JB AND SOMEHOW IT STUCKED AT THE APPLE LOGO?!!
I FOUND A WAY TO HELP YOU GUYS/GIRLS OUT!…and of corse 4 free
ok first of all..
Me I jb my iphone 3g (Firmware 2.2) with quickpwn (the instructions can you find on youtube,under jailbreak iphone 3g)
can suddenly after eveything went just great it stucked on the apple logo menu when swithin on the advice…
first I totally thought im srewed but then an Angel spoke to me (lol) wispering gently in my ear…hey idiot! whey so deppresed!? just disconnect your advice by holding the HOME and the POWER Button till the screen turns black and than reconnect it via usb on you PC/MAC and if the tipical sound apears that means first of all that you arent screwed at all but just inpatient!…so anyway…LOL…when the screen (of corse it turn to stuck at the apple logo) somehow shows you that the PC/mac found your advice it means that you can opperate offline…first of all DONT USE ITUNES! the best way to fix this scary problem is to open your Iphone via WINZIP! (if you dont have it you can totally download it for free on the www) then you simply build a bridge by tranfering all your pictures on your PC!
the result is visible!
1) first of all you finally have all your picture and stuff on your own PC/mac (without using an stupid operation like “mecloud” or others)
2) by extracting Files (fotos,videos,etc) from your “stucked Iphone) it simply turns ON!
here the breefly way to explane it for Dummies heheh :
your Iphone (3g /2.0 / 2.1. / 2.2 …)
even if its stucked it “feels” that somehow something is happening in it and that another Advice in this case your PC/Mac is INTERacting in it (in your iphone) and sohow it makes what we all do when we are getting hit by an Defrillibrator.. we turn to Life or wellspoken you simply see that Reviving isnt just about Humans kinds u can also revitalise Technique Advices!
i could help you all!
if thats so im vey proud to support so many people cuzz…you helped me too (in one way or another)!!!
cheers, greetings other vienna!
Benjamin
I follow all the instructions & it said that everything worked successfully. However, my iPhone was stuck at the Apple boot screen. No matter what I did, no matter how I waited (I left it alone for over an hour), or how many times I rebooted my iPhone, it was just stuck at the Apple logo.
I even followed the instructions from Benjamin (above) and that didn’t work either.
PLEASE help!! Thanks!!
I bought an iphone 3g (version 2.1) in New York, and I got it unlocked with the GEVEY-3g sim. So i got my usual sim in it.Do I also have to jailbreak it if I want to play and download games and stuff??

man! the hack is perfectly great, it works fine but I ended up having no phone service after the jailbreak process. I lost all my contacts and stuff. The phone number was not detected on my phone.
The IPhone sucks ass… Windows mobile all the way..
Please add to checklist “SIM card should be unlocked”
The install and hack worked but now I can’t make or receive calls. Has anyone figured out how to get beyond this point? I see others have had the same problem.
My Itunes always says there is an unknown error when i try to upgrade to the 2.1 firmware. Any suggestions??
matt, did you get a response to your issue? i’m having the same one
well.. jailbreak went perfectly…until it started running.. phone kept freezing. I have rebooted about 10-15 times daily since last week tuesday.
What I tried to do was reset all content and setting in the phone itself and what i get is the pineapple. I cannot get it to finish up loading. It stays on the black screen with the pineapple until it stops and does it again.
WHAT DO I DO??
I know i messed this up but may you please help!!

WOW! This process is incredible! Thank you for helping me unlock my iphone and allowing me to use the iphone to its fullest potential(without paying extra).
Steve Jobbs has created an amazing product, but unfortunately his mind has becomed addled with the pursuit of money. This program/process (jailbreaking) allows us to use the iphone without the corporate pigs telling us to pay for every tiny feature that should have been free in the 1st place.
great instructions.
thanks a ton
thank you so fukn mutch, the pwn worked properly and didnt stuff up, if u are contemplaiting jailbreaking ur iphone and are scared to do it after reading some of the above screwups, take into consideration if u are retarded or not, if u are retarded u will probs screw it up but if ur normal it will work as it says
thanks so much for this how to!!!!
am stuck on step 6, the firmware comes up in my computer as a zipped folder (iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore) I extract the files and than its a regular folder, when i try and do the restore and select it , I just keep opening files and it never updates, the iphone 2.1 firmware comes up as a folder on my computer not as the box that shows the instruction pictures…. If any body know please help me… thank you

stuck on step 7. the arrow doesnt turn blue HELP
I am having problems with step two already. They say, “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.” But once I “open” that file there are another two files inside of that file and so on and so forth. How do I just make it start upgrading already?
Can you still keep the App store apps, that you have and love, and Jailbreak or is your phone washed clean of these?
This guide works for iphones from anywhere or just american ones?
How long is it suppose to verify when your on step 7? Cause I’ve been waiting for at least an hour or so and Im getting impatient.
it just fucked up my iphone and it doesn’t even work this is bullshit
ok seriously…i downloaded the files…and the file it tells me thats needed during step six…is no where to be found…wtf

i tried it……..and it whiped my iphone!!!!!! somebody told me what i could have done wrong!
It did the same for me, you got to keep going thru the steps (and probably backed up your info first, too late now). lucky for me I just got the thing 3 days ago and had already lost my contacts via my previous phone. so I didn’t have much there!
although it somehow now wants to be updated to the latest Itunes software crap and won’t let me put on the fb or myspace app and couple otherones I already had! but don’t do the update for now, it just takes out everything you done
Got her done!!!
will i b able to keep all of my contacts on my iphone if i do this?

ok I’m jailbroke …but It is freezing up, the battary life is not lasting…and it is getting really hot, running slow…what to do?? I really like the features but it’s not worth it …can this be fixed …help!!!
Oh and my mail…I’m getting a lot of mail undelivered notices .
I have 1/2 a battery and have hardly been on it …charged it all night. The fact that it is getting so warm worries me!
Hii all..
Iam gonna tell you what it could be wrong..
1. If your Iphone is freezing, then DO NOT panic, just give it the time, and it will reboot.
2. be very carefull with the cable from PC to Iphone, DO NOT unplug when its rebooting, or booting the new software in.
3. TO MAC users: When its required a key in MAC you have to put your PC login PW in. (something with security)
4. Just take your take, download everything, and read the instruction 5-6 times, to have the full udnerstading for what it is you are doing.
5. Your must have V, 2.2.1 to jailbrake with this instructions.
6. Your must have a baseclass at 5.0.5 to Jailbrake with this instructions.
7. It you dont know how do it, then leave it, you can “destroy” morer than “produce”..
8. Let me finally tell you, that I have jailbraked morere than 20 IPhones now.. And really.. its not worth it..Every software you get, you have to pay for it .. And last.. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK A IPHONE 3G WITH THIS SOFTWARE! :)
Have fun..
