As some of you may know, the Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 for OSX has been released, unfortunately this leaves Windows users out in the cold, however there is a solution. Read more to find out how
If your a Windows user and you can’t wait to pwn your iPhone with 2.0.1 then you have another option. You can restore your iPhones, using a custom firmware image.
There are 4 images available
- Custom Firmware for iPhone 2g (for users who are sticking to the locked network [AT&T,O2 etc,])
- Custom Firmware for iPhone 2g ACTIVATED (Unlocked!)
- Custom Firmware for iPhone 3g
- Custom Firmware for iPhone 3g ACTIVATED
(Unfortunely because we dont own a iPhone 3g we cant tell you what the ACTIVATED firmware will do.)
Thanks to Steven Lu, for these images.
NEW LINKS TO COME
Enjoy your iPhone (and now iPod Touch), with the new 2.0.1

hi there,
thanks… can i ask, is the boot logo apple or pineapple?
if i have 1.1.4 pwned iphone, can i just restore the custom firmware via itunes?
it comes with the normal apple boot logo and yes you can just restore using iTunes
Wow…. i just did it and I still cant believe it was that EASY????? WOW… everything works like a charm!!! thank you iphonefreakz!!!!!!
thank you so much!
This includes installer 4 beta and Cydia I’m assuming? Thanks for posting this up, pretty awesome. I hope it goes smoothly onto a 2.0.1 3g.
This does include Cydia and Installer 4.0 beta
can i use these ipsw if my iphone 3g already has apple firmware 2.0.1 and hasnt been jailbroken before?
no, you must first winpwn your itunes before entering DFU mode to “restore” to the custom firmware
im stuck in dfu mode and ive done the winpawn custom firmware…but its giving me the error 1600,wher can i get the 2.0.1 firmware for the older version
hi does it contain the installer as with the mac version
and also i have iphone 3g with 2.0.1 so does phone require any pwn or just simple i can put in dfu and restore the custom firmware please help me
it does contain installer 4.0 like the mac version. this technique does require a winpwn. but then can be restored using the above CFIs
but winpwn not support the 2.0.1 so what shoud i do please give me a detail
thanks
Just pwn iTunes using WinPwn. Load in the normal 2.0 firmware (not 2.0.1) and pwn iTunes. You can pwn iTunes using a regular 2.0 custom firmware. I’ve tried it and it works.
Hi Braden,
pls clarify these:
Will WinPwn 2.0.0.3 ( after loading 2.0 fw as suggested by you)pwn iTunes 7.7.1?
OR
Should I pwn iTunes 7.7 and restore CF 2.0.1 in DFU
Pls help me bro.thanks in advance.
ok i m downloading the file so let see thanks for reply
THANKS FOR TIPS NOW I JAILBREAK IPHONE 3G WITH CUSTOM FIRMWARE THANKS IPHONEFREAKZ ALSO FOR UPDATING AND NOW IF ANYONE HAVE A MORE REPO SOURCE LISTS FOR INSTALLER AND CYDIA PLEASE REPORT
THANKS
Worked great for me! Thanks guys. OBTW, I downloaded the activated version for my 3g and couldn’t get a cell signal. So I reloaded the regular 3g one and it worked perfectly. Thanks again!
Does anyone know where I could get a 2.0.1 Pwned iPod Touch firmware? I tried all the torrent sites that I know, it’s not there. Thanks!!!
how big is the file…it seems server is real slow or jammed up and not sure if I am getting 100%
Hi guys, does it need itunes 7.7 or 7.7.1?
either
Worked Great!!!!
I’m assuming we don’t do this thru winpwn? Do we just put the phone in DFU mode and simply restore the custom IPSW file, is this correct?
Well just answered my own question, error 1600 I’m sure because I didn’t hit the ipwner button.
The only reason I ask is because I have the ipwner button greyed out even after I choose the ipsw file I downloaded from the links above. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
you must first download the official version of the firmware, and pwn itunes with that, then you may restore directly through itunes
Will DFU work or Recovery mode alone works? I remember the prevoius custom firmware 2.0 option for windows didnt work in DFU mode. Can you pls clarify this? thanks in advance.
cheers
have cydia?
yes, and installer 4.0 beta
Hi every one
I’m a noob on iphone (sorry about that :) ). I bought 2 weeks ago an official orange iphone 3G (in France) and a couple of days ago i updated it with the official apple 2.0.1 firmware. My question is how can i jailbreak my iphone 3G ? Can i just download the custom firmware give here and restore it in DFU mode on my iphone or do i have to go back to 2.0, pwn it and then update to 2.0.1 pwn ?
thx a lot for every answer you can give to me !
Enjoy & take care !
I believe if you use the activated 3G you will be able to use other AT&T sim cards.
No, that is unlocked. Activating only bypasses the activate screen so you can use it without activating it with AT&T.
It allows other AT&T customers to use the same iPhone. I have tested this myself. If you let itunes activate then you can only use the sim card that activated. If you fake activate you can use other AT&T sims. In other words The phone is still locked to AT&T but you can use other AT&T cards that do not have a iphone plan.
could you please post a link to the other guide you referenced? thanks in advance
FOR IPOD TOUCH??????!!!!!!!!!!
:cry: :cry:
unfortunately not yet but i will try and find some links for iPod Touch Users
George,
can you just explain the procedure for an iphone 3g that has already been upgraded to 2.0.1? does itunes have to be pwned then restore with the custom firmware?
yes iTunes has to be Pwned first using WinPwn or XPwn
Thanks~but, Only iphone? not touchpod?
So, I have iPhone 1.1.4 unlocked, activated and jailbreaked with ZiPhone 3.0. If I make a restore via iTunes to this firmware 2.0.1 custom, will it work for me ? Or my iPhone should be pwned first ? Thanks in advance.
you must pwn with WinPwn or Xpwn First, or else this will not work
@ George:
I have iTunes 7.7. Should i first update to 7.7.1 before restoring to this CF? Also let me know if I can update via DFU. Cheers.
you dont need to update to 7.7.1 i dont think but updating will not effect this in anyway, however before restoring in DFU mode, you must pwn iTunes first
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but my winpwn keeps saying the 2g custom firmware is an “unknown file type”.
when i use my itunes restore using this file, it starts to work but then gives an error message. not sure where i’m messing up
The 2g custom firmware is for use in iTunes after iTunes has been pwned using WinPwn. I will be updating the post with links to Standard 2.0.1 to use to Pwn iTunes
I have some word with users who flashed this new IPSW, 2.0.1 on the 2G iphone with the corresponding firmware to their phones. Some of them are having WiFi issues, where it crashes or sometimes doesnt work.
Has anybody had this issue with this one. Please let me know…
Yes this works perfectly
I’m using 1gen iphone that had 2.0 using winpwn
The custom firmware comes with the beta installer as well
only problem was it took an hour for my backup data to sync, never was that long before
Hi, I live in Argentina and i Have one 2G old iphone, how is the best image for me?

Download the second link “the activated 2g link”

hey i m experience the problem in installer does anybody who use above customfirmware notice it please if y than give reply
does the firmware for 2g includes cydia?
yes, it also includes Installer
Yeah I’ve tried both the custom firmware linked above and the stock firmware and with either one loaded winpwn’s pwner’s button is still greyed out so I can’t pwner my phone. Very odd.
oh.. my bad.. i just found out doing the restore back to 2.0 will fix my wifi issue.. apparently it happened to be that my router was not behaving well.. So i slapped it a bit.. jumped back to 2.0.1 and now .. i am good.
But i was wondering.. installer 4 looks empty.. nothing is in there.. when i hit the refresh button on the source section with ripdev source link.. after a while it says the connection timed out.
Since I see in your image up there.. that you are able to put some wallpaper backgrond.. i thought summer board is now out for 2.0.x .. could you let me know how i could do that?
what image are you refering to? and SummerBoard 2.0 is not availiable yet, but WinterBoard is available through Cydia
yeah i finish process with winpwn and for now is very good
I have cydia and installer
And i Have 1gb default disk =D you can resize the disk with winpwn
how exactly do you use this firmware to own iPhone 3g activated? Sorry this is my first attempt at pwning and wish to do it successfully
All of these links are now ‘forbidden’… whassap?
Those links were closed, new links to follow.
links dead :evil:
pls other Custom Firmware for iPhone 2g ACTIVATED (Unlocked!)
link friends all thnx
but apple logo :mrgreen:
new links please new linksssssss :oops:
?
Hey George!
I have noticed that SummberBoard is not out for the 2.0.x firmware of the Iphone. And I have tried the winterboard available in Cydia. But it doesnt give me much preference over how I can manage the Springboard.
It seems like it will load everything in a theme.. the icon sets and the dock style. What I would want is to be able to disable the icon sets yet have a background on my Iphone of my own choosing, even those which I select from my own synced images on the Iphone.
Do you know how it could be done? anybody?
this currently cannot be done but saurik is working hard on this and eventually we will have a better winterboard with options (such as this) and an actual UI.
sorry!
Thanks Jon. I needed to know.. is all.. like we waited for the Devs to crack the 2.0 .. I can wait for that to happen too. Just a point of note. SummerBoard was the most useful and appealing app I have ever downloaded from installer. I used it everyday… and was happy when my iphone showed me things the way I wanted it to. heheh..
Nice work here … i used ur custom firmware for the 2G iphone to flash my phone.

Has anyone ever tried to use this software on a knock-off? I thought I was buying the real deal at a cheap price. Since I’m stuck with it I would like to mod it if I can. If someone knows how to make it work that would be great.
Hello, I would like/need to know how do you install a custom firmware ?
I’ve recently installed the 3.0 release, the phone works but it’s stuck on Rogers Canada.
Some help would be apreciated.
