*************** This tutorial has been updated for the latest version of QuickPwn and the 2.1 iPhone Firmware. You can find the 3G tutorial here and the 2G tutorial here. The Mac version is here ***************
These are instructions on how to jailbreak your 2.0.x iPhone using the QuickPwn GUI application for Windows. Before following this tutorial connect your iPhone to the computer and make sure iTunes has detected it. Also remember this is still beta software!
Step One Create a folder called quickpwn on your desktop. Download QuickPwnGUI from here and place it into the newly created folder.
Step Two Extract the downloaded zip file(QuickPwnGUI120.zip) to obtain an executable called QuickPwnGUI120.exe.
Step Three Double click the extracted exe file (QuickPwnGUI120.exe) to launch QuickPwn.
You will then be asked to select your iPhone version. Do this then click the blue right arrow to continue.
Step Four A popup will appear asking you to select your iPhone firmware. Select the firmware file we just downloaded from the quickpwn folder on your desktop, then click the Open button.
Step Five If the iPhone firmware file you selected is valid, QuickPwn will display a green checkmark. Click the blue right arrow to continue.
Step Six You will now be given the opportunity to select whether you would like to install Cydia, Installer, and Replace Boot Logos. Select those you would like to have installed then click the blue right arrow.
Step Seven Click the Go button to launch the QuickPwn command line application.
Step Eight You will then be asked to power off your iPhone and press Enter once it has been turned off.
Step Nine QuickPwn will now help you put your iPhone in DFU Mode. Read through the instructions so you know whats ahead then type in y and press Enter. As an alternative you can put the iPhone into DFU mode yourself using these directions then press Enter.
Step Ten First you will be asked to hold down the Power button for 5 seconds. Then you will have to also hold down the Home button for 10 seconds without letting go of the Power button. At the end of 10 seconds you will need to release only the Power button.
Step Eleven After a few seconds of holding down just the Home button QuickPwn will detect the DFU mode and start performing operations.
After 8 operations are performed QuickPwn will ask you to "Please wait while your iPhone is Jailbroken". You can press any key to close the command prompt window.
Your iPhone will display a turning wheel and in a few minutes will be jailbroken! If you have a 2G iPhone and would like to unlock simply install and run BootNeuter from Cydia.
NOTES***: Performing this jailbreak upgraded and jailbroke my firmware without losing any of my settings, contacts, applications etc.
THANKS***: Big thanks go to the Dev-Team and poorlad for creating this application.

Hello i use quickpwn from windows in 3g iphone . after jailbreak when install a program from cydia or intaller i can find in springboard , from shh i can see the app in Application/**.app , can help me with this?
worked like a charm. The command line application kept crashing on me, but I just restarted it again while still in DFU mode, and then it did the jailbreak. Logos were retained as I had chosen - it's great!
hi..i am from greece and i have iphone 3g but i am so afraid to to that before be sure...
can you help me please and tell me if i do this after my network (carrier)will work cause i have turbo sim working with and i am not sure if i put firmware 2.2 and jailbreak with this if my iphone stiil work and if everything will work.
Thank You!
I can't get the GUI to work. On two computers it crashes on startup (AMD Athlon 64 X2 and dual-core Opteron both running XP) and on a third (P4), it freezes at the loading IPSW screen. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a 2G running 2.0.2
Question: If I own a jailbroken 2.0.1 3G iphone, using this tool WILL upgrade to 2.0.2 and at the same time jailbroken it without losing my apps, settings, etc. ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
For the below comments, if your phone is at itunes indicator, restore it to 2.0.2 using itunes and try this process it works.
henry, The youtube and yahoo mail is an ongoing issue. We might have to wait for some more time to find a fix. Though i have seen someome posting the solution at
http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/general/309841-2-0-2-fix-youtube-mail-yahoo-sync-problem.html
but i haven't tired it. Let me know if this works for you.
ok, I installed bootneuter from Cydia to unlock the phone but it still lockeed. What specifically do I have to do to unlock it?.
Another thing, it no longer recognizes my yahoomail account. I have reentered it many times but it says wrong username or password.
Can someone send me a solution for my problem. I followed the steps in the tutorial as I already jailbreaked the iPhone to 1.4 a while back. But now my power button is broken and so I cannot do the requested "hold down power button for x seconds" steps in this tutorial in the end.
I got a big problem now as I cannot use the iPhone anymore. I already did a new recovery in iTunes but my sim is of course not granted acces to the iPhone :(
I am just about ready to try this but can anyone reading here tell me if the phone is again locked after updating to 2.0.2 in itunes and I then use Quickpwn do I simply install and run BootNeuter right from cydia or are there more than simply "installing" it? Thanks guys for any help at all.Again I apologize for filling up your great site with newbie questions but theres really nobody I can ask but you/
