App Store – NetSketch (colaborative drawing) Installer 4 sources (updated x2)
Aug 09

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

(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

See my Windows Alternative Guide to Pwning, using PwnageTool for windows.

    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?

    • At 2008.08.09 13:53, George said:

        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?

          • At 2008.08.10 16:34, George said:

            no, you must first winpwn your itunes before entering DFU mode to “restore” to the custom firmware

            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

            • At 2008.08.09 16:55, George said:

              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

              • At 2008.08.09 17:11, viru478 said:

                but winpwn not support the 2.0.1 so what shoud i do please give me a detail

                  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.

                            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?

                            • At 2008.08.09 16:01, spinedoc said:

                              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?

                              • At 2008.08.10 16:36, George said:

                                you must first download the official version of the firmware, and pwn itunes with that, then you may restore directly through itunes

                              • At 2008.08.09 16:01, Vallabh said:

                                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

                                    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.

                                      • At 2008.08.09 17:22, Braden said:

                                        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.

                                              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

                                                you must pwn with WinPwn or Xpwn First, or else this will not work

                                                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

                                                  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

                                                    Has anybody had this issue with this one. Please let me know…

                                                      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

                                                                            • At 2008.08.09 19:10, ekse said:

                                                                              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?

                                                                              • At 2008.08.10 16:42, George said:

                                                                                                  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?

                                                                                                  • At 2008.08.10 19:29, Jon said:

                                                                                                    sorry!

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.

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.

                                                                                                                  I’ve recently installed the 3.0 release, the phone works but it’s stuck on Rogers Canada.

                                                                                                                  Some help would be apreciated.
