Unlock Apple iPhone

Finally there it is. Our official Winpwn 2.0 or Pwnage tool 2.0 jailbreak guide. If it’s the jailbreak Iphone 2.0 development that seems like rocket science to you, help is here. Initial troubles handling the WinPwn was inevitable, but at the end all’s well that ends well. So if you are looking for the important files and system needs to get on with the Pwnage process, there’s some much needed prerequisites posted to make the process easier than you thought.

Prior to starting out, you should know that the iPhone 3G has not yet been unlocked. Es, you heard that right. Truth is the Pwnage process will not unlock your 3G iPhone, doesn’t matter how much effort you put into it. Here’s the fine print, this system will help you jailbreaking but certainly not unlock it. Nevertheless it will open up your Iphone for other providers.

Before we start to jailbreak your Iphone 3g or 2.0 you first read the following:

System requirements you’ll need:

• Windows XP or Windows Vista
• .NET Framework 2.0 or later iTunes 7.7    
• In case you are updating from iTunes 7.5, do restart your computer right away and then continue.

Files you’ll need to download first need:

• WinPwn 2.0 at RapidShare.com.
• iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
• 2.0 firmware Bootloader 3.9
• Bootloader 4.6

For everybody how doesn’t have the patience to read out the complete Jailbreak 2.0 guide we made a short overview. Check this quick and easy 2.0 guide: 

1. For starters, download WinPwn  
2. Let’s say you already have it installed, then open winpwn.exe  
3. It’ll creat a shortcut on your desktop, look for the icon
4. To ease the situation, create an “iphone” folder on your desktop.
5. Save your files here(bootloaders, 2.0 firmware, and the winpwn 2.0 zip file)
   This saves you the confusion of selecting files, browsing, etc.

If you see an image like the above, it’s your WinPwn 2.0 version.  The guidance from here on is to get your iPhone Pwned(new term) and load it with a custom 2.0 firmware.  This was possible with the 1st generation iPhone. This made it possible to unlock 2.0 with the 3.9 bootloader. Do remember, that this has not unlocked the 3G iPhone.

You need to click the first button prompting Browse .ipsw.  It should be simpler if you made that desktop folder. Put the 2.0 firmware downloaded from the needed files list in the same desktop folder.

Next you need select iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw from the list.  Just double click it or tap the open button. After selecting the firmware, there’ll be some more text in the output.  This is just a prompt notifying you that the firmware has been loaded on to winpwn.

Enter the OK button.  Now enter the IPSW Builder button.  Do not touch the options provided at the bottom.

Now the IPSW Builder will show up.  Use Cydia, the packaging system that allows you to download applications to your phone, this is similar to Installer.  This has a strong backend and great prospect.  By the way it’s the only option, so go for it, takes a while, so get some coffee.

Once you click the iPwner key, it makes the required changes.  It probably does so to make it possible for you to restore your custom firmware that’s created at the end.  Well, that’s the whole idea anyways.

iTunes has been Pwned!
So now we’re underway. It’s the start, iTunes has been modified, but it surely is needed later. That was easy, so now onto the custom images.

We used some default custom images but of course you can browse the online feature and choose from the cool boot logos. 

Smooth going so far. Let’s leave the Custom Payload tab and move to Advanced.

Feeling a little grounded yet? It would have been easier if you had downloaded the needed files at the start of the tutorial.  It’s easy.  If they’re in your iphone folder, click the relevant button and choose the correct Bootloader. It’s easy, choose a  BL-39.bin for the Bootloader 3.9 file.

When this is sorted, it’s time to be on the go. So you either see a red or a green, and the green means you’re raring to go.

Next step: Build .ipsw, this too should already be in your precious iphone folder.

So now, you’ve created a custom firmware. You obviously are ready to load it. It’s almost going to be over really soon.

Now your device needs to be in DFU mode. Don’t get into the technicalities, just select the mode.

• Turn the phone off
• We mean off for real
• Alongside, push the home and power buttons
• After 10 seconds, release the power button
• Keep holding the home button till iTunes recognizes the phone
• The process should take 7 seconds, at the most 10. In case you overshot your time, start again by switching the phone on and then off again.
• The iPhone screen will be blank
• It will even look like it’s still turned off
• When iTunes recognizes it – you’re in DFU mode

You are DONE Jailbreaking your new Iphone 3g, Iphone 2.0 or Ipod Touch 2.0. Now enjoy!
