***************************************************************************************
This tutorial has been updated for WinPwn 2.5. You can find the new instructions here
***************************************************************************************

This tutorial will use WinPwn to unlock and jailbreak your 2G iPhone on the 2.0 firmware.

Some 2G users have experienced problems with the latest version of WinPwn. Make sure to set the partition size to 512MB or higher!

To follow this tutorial you will need to have iTunes 7.7 installed (make sure to reboot). Also, you may need to download and install .Net Framework if you are on Windows XP.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage. In it place the following files: Winpwn 2.0.0.4 or Winpwn 2.0.0.4 , 3.9BL , 4.6BL , and the latest 2.0 firmware.

Step Two
Install WinPwn by extracting the downloaded zip from Step One and running the setup executable. Once WinPwn has been installed it will put a shortcut icon on your desktop. Double click to launch the application.

Step Three
Once WinPwn has opened click the Browse .ipsw button.

Step Four
Locate the 2.0 firmware file (iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw) from the Pwnage folder on your desktop and click Open.

Step Five
WinPwn will check the firmware to make sure its valid. Now click the IPSW Builder button.

Step Six
The IPSW Builder window will open to the Applications tab. Check to select Cydia and if you are not on AT&T then check to select YouTube Fix.

Step Seven
Click to select the Custom Images tab. From here you can can select
your own boot images.

Remember the rules for them: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension bellow 320x480. If you would like to use the iClarified ones they can be found here: Boot Logo, Recovery Logo

Step Eight
Click to select the Custom Payload tab. From this tab you can select custom payloads you have created to be automatically installed. We will discuss this in a future tutorial.

Step Nine
Click to select the Advanced tab. Check to select: Activate Phone, Enable Baseband update, and Unlock baseband.

We will also need to load the Bootloader files. Click the Bootloader 3.9 button and then select the BL39.bin file in your Pwnage Folder. Then click the Bootloader 4.6 button and select the BL46.bin file in your Pwnage Folder.

*****FOR THE PARTITION SIZER, SET IT TO 512MB!!! IF YOU DO NOT SET IT TO SOMETHING ABOUT 500MBS, IT WILL NOT WORK*****

Step Ten
Click the Build .ipsw button at the bottom left to build your custom ipsw firmware file. Navigate to your Pwnage folder and click the Save button.

Step Eleven
Once WinPwn has finished creating your custom firmware then click the iPwner button from the main menu.

Step Twelve
Select the custom firmware file we just built from the Pwnage folder on your desktop and click the Open button.

Step Thirteen
You will then be notified that your iTunes has been Pwned!

Step Fourteen
Next we will need to put the iPhone in the DFU mode and restore using iTunes. To put your iPhone into DFU mode please follow these instructions!

Step Fifteen
iTunes will prompt you that you are in recovery mode.

Hold down Shift and click the Restore button in iTunes.

A popup window will appear asking you to select your firmware. Select the Custom firmware file we saved in the Pwnage folder and then click the Open button.

Once the restore is complete you will have your iPhone unlocked and jailbroken!

I have tried the restore multiple times as well as downloading different .IPSW's I am using redsn0w-win_0.7.2. Anything I do my iPhone still shuts down. I tried starting it up then putting the SIM card in after it starts up but as soon as I call someone or after 10-30 mins it shuts down again then after that it just keeps shutting down when I start it please help?

Hey Deeps and all, I was wondering if anyone has recently (in 2009) been able to unlock iphone (2g) using this above tutorial. And still has been able to use it with ATT? I am with ATT and I want to use 2g iphone (after unlocking it using this above procedure) but don't want to buy and pay for data plan (since I don't want to use it). I see that this tutorial has been of real help to lot of guys..unlike ebay, here I can at least see come reviews. So please guys, hit back as soon as you can. Thanks a ton.

hey all! need some help here, been searching for 2 days now and i don't seem to get an answer by reading posts so i decided to post myself. here it goes! i have an iphone 3g witch was working perfectly, running 2.2.1, jailbroken by Quickpnw on mac. 2 days ago my wifi suddenly died :( tried resetting, restoring and everything else i could find. no success....... i read about a number of other fixes using tools like ZiPhone or iLiberty, so i downloaded the apps, preff want to use iLiberty cos of the problems with ZiPone (wanna keep my last resort to turn to apple for repair) anyways.... iLibery recognizes my phone, but when it tries to set it to recoverymode my computer doesn't recognize the phone and it is stuck in recoverymode... have to restore evey time i get this (did it to may times now, trying different ways). found a workaround for this: put it in recovery mode manually (still isn't recognized but i can reboot it back to normal mode :) ok googled some more on this problem, found multiple things like it would not work on 10.5.6, connect to an usb hub and dunno what else i tried. wel i tried it on my vista x64 doesn't work, tried it on xp sp2 (not 64 bit) doesn't work, tried it on osx86 10.5.4 doesn't work....... dunno what to try else.. summary to my problem: - phone recognized by itunes in all states - on osx 10.5.6 quickpwn CAN pwn it - in recoverymode it is not recognized by any program except itunes i have tried mulitple programs and mulitple computers - not to forget the problem that my wifi is dead ;) any help or ideas are very welcome! thanx in advance!

I have activated my GPRS, or atleast that is what i think i activated, and seem to be able to get access to the internet and mail. some Internet addresses deny me access, saying that my edge is not activated. does anyone know the easiest and most cost effective way of activating my edge. you can reply to me @ shanemac101@gmail.com, I will really appreciate the help. thanks

can any help i have the latest itunes and keep getting error 1604?? No idea what that is. Can anyone help?

deeps - November 30, 2008 at 7:48am

I got it right. Didn't succeed with my PC so I took it to a friend and installed iTunes 7.7 onto his system and did the upgrade (Note both Windows XP) . Worked first time. Upgraded from 1.1.2 to 2.0.1 using iTunes 7.7. You can get older versions of iTunes from www.filehippo.com. I don't think the version of iTunes has anything to do with it though (as long as it is later than 7.7....correct me if I am wrong). My last option was to uninstall all Apple products as written on the Apple Website help, and re-install, but I didn't have to do that. By the way, I also didn't need to make any mods to my Edge settings. I am on a Vodacom contract and I was able to set the APN normally from the network settings, and Safari worked immediately. I will let you know if the Edge settings revert, but for now it is working well. Feel free to write to me at deeps@vodamail.co.za if you need help.
