Jailbreak and Unlock 2.x on Windows

[sayam]

This tutorial won't unlock your iPhone 3G!

To follow these tutorials, you must have the following:

• Latest version of iTunes
• WinPwn 2.5
• Dot Net Framework if using XP
• Firmware 2.0.2
• BL 3.9 and BL 4.6 files

Here are all the steps you need to follow:

1.Download all the files mentioned above.

2. Install Winpwn 2.5



3. Create a new folder named WinPwn (or whatever you like) and place the winpwn shortcut, firmware file and BL files in the folder.



4. Open Winpwn and select the first picture representing iPhone 2G.



5. In next step, select 2.0.2 and click next.



6. Then, it will ask if you want to use the official carrier. Click thumbs up for yes and thumbs down for no. Skip the next step if you click
thumbs up in this step.



7. Now, it will ask if you want to unlock. Just click thumbs down if you only want to activate and click thumbs up if you want to unlock.



8. Then, it will ask if you want to use custom boot logos. Click thumbs up if you want custom boot and recovery screen logos but if you choose thumbs down, skip the next step.



9. Now, click on the two iPhone pictures to select the different boot and recovery logos. If you want to search online gallery, first click on browse so it changes to online and then click on the two iPhone pictures.



10. When you click next, it will start building the custom firmware.



11. After custom firmware is built (will be saved in My Documents), you will be asked if you want to start the DFU wizard. Click thumbs up.



12. Then, it will ask if your phone is turned of and connected via USB. If not, then do it and click thumbs up.



13. After that, it will give a ready to pwn message. Click OK.



14. First of all, press and hold power button till countdown ends.



15. Then, hold both power and home button till countdown ends.



16. Then, release power button and keep holding home button till countdown ends.



17. After you get the success message, release home button and quit pwnage.



18. Then, open iTunes to restore to the custom iPhone Firmware in iTunes. To do this, while holding shift, click restore and select the custom firmware.

19. After the phone reboots, it has been pwned successfully with Cydia and Installer on home screen

Notice: If you face crash while building firmware, use the expert mode and set partition size between 700 MB to 900 MB

All credits go to CMW and DevTeam for this software.

after im done with everything? to unlock, do i go to clydia and install the bootneuter to unlock my iphone to work with a tmobile sim card?

as i was using the bootneuter, the auto-lock was on for 1 minute. the message on the screen as the bootneuter was running said "DO NOT INTERRUPT". i had to restart my iphone since it started to act up. now im trying to restore it back to factory settings to redo the whole process again. should i back up with the one that reads "unknown" or the very first backup it as since ive tried one and it failed to back up.

by the way, before doing the backup, my iphone screen reads "cannot make calls, contact apple support"

What I do If I get this error

The Iphone could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred (1601)

When doing the restore of the firmware with my Iphone in DFU mode and using Itunes 7.7

I'm doing this restorewith the custom firmware using Winpwn2.5.02 from a 1.1.4 unlocked Iphone 2G

@soleaddict23, it seems to me that interrupting bootneuter has lead to some serious problem with the bl or bb.

@vchavez, search the forum about this error and you will get a lot of information!

@usa_mostwanted007, did you choose the iPhone 3G image in Winpwn home screen?

Hello,
i followed Sayam's instructions and everything seems to be working just fine. my question is to get my t zone to work do i still need to download t zone hack from installer or cydia? also do i need to type in wap.voicestream.com on the APN section or not. thank you in advance.

[motioN]

does this skip activation because im thinking of upgrading to 3g but im not trying to start ANOTHER 2 yr plan.

[vchavez]

Sayam thanks I'm looking for the answer using the search option in the forum but I'm still stuck because there are many ways of getting this error.

This tutorial is for 2G iPhone as the file specified and steps are not for 3G. But you can download the 3G firmware file here and select 3G iPhone in Winpwn and do the rest of things except unlocking...

Sayam could you kindly help me on this I have spent 3 days on this but still a no go I got to the very end but no cigar. All I could see is that rainbow apple logo at the end, and other times are code 6 code 1064. Any suggestion all this after using a desktop at home and another desktopat work and a laptop and 14 different usb port. What's there to do.
