These are instructions on how to unlock and jailbreak your 2.0.x 2G iPhone using WinPwn 2.5 for Windows. They have been updated for iPhone firmware 2.0.2.
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. Finally, make sure you completely uninstall any previous version of WinPwn. Thanks to cmw for all his hard work on this!
********** This tutorial has been updated to get around the WinPwn bug that causes ipsw creation to crash in simple mode. We have also updated the link of Beta 2 of WinPwn 2.5 **********
Step One Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage. In it place Winpwn 2.5(mirror), 3.9BL , 4.6BL, and the latest 2.0 firmware.
Step Two Install WinPwn by double clicking the downloaded 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 Expert Mode switch to turn Expert Mode ON.
Now click to select the iPhone 2G.
Step Four You will then be asked to select the firmware you would like to use. Do this then click the green right arrow at the bottom right of the window.
Step Five You will then be asked if you would like to unlock the iPhone. Most likely you will want to click the green thumbs up button.
Step Six You will then be asked if you would like to delete BootNeuter after it completes. Most likely you will want to click the green thumbs up button.
Step Seven WinPwn will now ask if you want to activate your iPhone. If you are not on an official carrier then you will want to click the green thumbs up button.
Step Eight You will now be asked if you want to install YouTube activation. Again if you are not on an official carrier then you will want to click the green thumbs up button.
Step Nine You will be asked if you wish to install Cydia. Click the green thumbs up button.
Step Ten Next you will be asked if you want to install Installer 4. Click the green thumbs up button.
Step Eleven WinPwn will then ask if you wish to resize the root partition. Click the green thumbs up button.
Step Twelve If you want to wipe data when doing the restore click the green thumbs up button. Note: this will take longer and I clicked the red thumbs down button.
Step Thirteen WinPwn will then ask if you would like to use custom boot/recovery images. Click the green thumbs up button if you would like to.
Step Fourteen You will now be asked to set the size of your root partition. Move the slider to select a partion size of 800mb.
Step Fifteen You will now be able to select your custom images. Click the iPhone on the left to select your boot logo. Click the iPhone on the right to select your recovery logo.
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
Click the green arrow button to continue.
Step Sixteen WinPwn will now ask you to select a location to save the Custom IPSW. Navigate to the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop and click the Save button.
Step Seventeen WinPwn will now search for your ipsw firmware file. If it cannot find it you will be asked to search manually. Click the green thumbs up button then navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the ipsw you downloaded in Step One.
Step Eighteen WinPwn will now build your custom ipsw.
Step Nineteen WinPwn will then prompt you to connect your iPhone via USB and make sure its turned off. Do this then click the green thumbs up button.
Step Twenty WinPwn will then say its ready to start Pwnage. Click the green OK button.
Step Twenty One Be ready to follow directions now. It will ask you to hold the home button and the power button for 10 seconds. Then, you will have to release the power button and hold the home button for 10 seconds to enter DFU.
Step Twenty Three Once you iPhone is in DFU mode WinPwn will begin the pwnage process.
You will be informed when pwnage is complete.
Notice your iPhone will show a message saying, "Ready to Restore Custom IPSW".
Step Twenty Four iTunes will now 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 created using WinPwn from the Pwnage folder on your Desktop then click the Open button.
Your iPhone will now be restored unlocked to the jailbroken 2.0.x firmware of your choice!

Just wanted to thank you for your tutorial. I attempted to unlock my phone using WinPwn prior to reading your tutorial -- the program crashed and left my phone in a non-operational state. I thought I had bricked the phone. I was using version 8 of iTunes. You can imagine my relief when I learned how to recover the phone. It's working fine now. Thanks again!
i used this software and i made a mistake of using version 8 and it crashed while pwning and now i think im stuck in DFU mode that cant be detected by itunes and thus i cant restore/revert or do anything with my iphone can someone advice me on how to proceed to restore my iphone. it was unlocked/jailbreak from 1.1.3 ziphone itunes updated to 2.2 using restore from iclarified restore copy then it crashed and I cant get to use my iphone now. Any help will be much appreciated

i got stuck at step 23 as well and my iphone went blank with a white screen. However, i proceeded with the next step which is restoring from iTunes and soon after, my phone was working again (:
hello guys,
Noone mentioned problem with "No Service", I had 2.1 firmware and changed to 2.0.2, because there is no pawntool for 2.1 version. I did all steps described in tutorial, everything was fine, without any problems, but at the end I came up with "no signal" if anybody had same problem, please help me.
i did all the steps with version 1.1.2 iphone, upgradin to 2.0.2. the same exact thing happens to me - the screen goes white and blank and at the same time WinPwn freezes and my laptop ends the program...
even then i went to my Pwnage folder on my desktop and double clicked the custom iphone 2.0.2 restore and i restored my iphone on itunes. It does everything right and then at the very end it says that i don't have a supported sim card carrier. i have the AT & T sim card but i didnt activate it and im using another sim card cuz i live out of the states. what do i do then? whats the solution here? this is so annoyin please help.
future reference for anyone considering upgrading their iphone - DON"T DO IT. its fine the way it is if it was working perfectly before. DON'T UPGRADE IT. it causes way too many problems and now im prolly gona go to the apple store and pay a gazillion pounds to fix my iphone. thank you itunes, tellin me to upgrade my iphone and not sayin anythin about what exactly that means.
I'm using WinPwn 2.5 for my 2.1 2G iPhone. On this guide when I put the iphone in recovery mode and complete those steps the screen on my iphone goes white and WinPwn stops working..I've increased the root partition to 900 but I have the same problem. Can you help please? Email me at tammyh_180@hotmail.com
up and running.
from start to the end.
i f'ed up restored my phone to 1.1.4 and lost all my stuff. once again i f'ed up and updated it to 2.0.2
downgraded it to 1.1.4 using the tutorial from iclarified.com
using itunes 8.0 i runned winpwn 2.5 just as the tutorial above.
winpwn 2.5 crashed while preparing the phone to restore
opened itunes and restore it (shift+restore) selecting the custom ipsw created in winpwn 2.5
it took from 30 to 40 mins to finish it up
now up and running
thx a bunch to the team that made all this possible.
just a few comments...
it is written in pwn.hlp that this soft is supposed to be used to unlock and jailbreak iphones running on 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 (jailbroke and unlocked or not), so if you updated your iphone using itunes you will need to downgrade it and restart.
2nd it seems that this soft was written to work with itunes 7.7.1.1 i tried it with itunes 7.5 7.7.0.4.3 and with 8.0 and it crashed on step 23.
i'm trying right now to restore it in itunes using the custom file written, jumping a few steps of the tuto.
