Currently there is poorlad’s QuickPwn GUI which was created at brake neck speed (5 hours after release of QuickPwn command line). Now WinPwn has announced that we will see WinPwn 2.5 released by the end of this week and it will be using the latest QuickPwn behind the scenes.

Features:

• QuickPwn support (2.0/2.0.1/2.0.2)
• DFU helper
• Automatic updater (yay no more downloading new installers)
• Plus much more….

Update:

Sorry about the delay. I have been trying to fix a quickpwn 2.0.2 bug.
If it doesn’t get solved in the next day you will see a release with just quickpwn 2.0.1 support.
I will keep you updated! Thanks again for the support.

Notes:
