Just use QuickPwn to jailbreak the 2G. I’ve had way too many problems with Pwnage Tool and jailbreaking the 2G. You have to:
1. Restore using the Apple 2.1 firmware
2. QuickPwn to jailbreak, activate and so on
3. Then you can use a PwnageTool firmware… but I don’t see the need.

Here is what worked from a bricked iPhone 2.1 2g. I just used quickpwn. That’s it. Made sure I restored it via iTunes first, it brought me to the set up screen on iTunes. I closed iTunes, let the phone stay on the emergancy call screen, let quickpwn do it’s thing. Put it into DFU mode, and let quickpwn finish. Now I have my wifes 2g 2.1 iPhone unlocked!

When I build a custom firmware the iPhone 2G, the pwnagetool say:

the booloader is wrong

I downloaded many sites, but not work.
Any idea ?

Mike,

The easies is to go to thepiratebay.org and get the activated + unlocked 2.1 firmware there and then just restore that firmware in iTunes 8.
Works like a charm :)

here is my situation:
I have 2 iPhones, on 1gen one 3g. I updated my 3g to 2.1 and the quickpwnd it, worked great. The 1gen is my wifes phone, it was FW2.0 unlocked via pwnage. After doing the quickpwn I decided to update my wifes phone and figures I would unlock it again using pwnage. So I upgrade to 2.1, then do all the steps of pwnage, phone gets stuck in recovery so I then restore… Big mistake, phone is no longer activated. That’s ok because I can activate via pwnage right… iTunes 8.0 says no, error 1600.

So after a couple hours I give up to go to bed. My questions are: does quickpwn activate & unlock? And I am not against using pwnage tool it just doesn’t seem to be working with my newly inactivated iPhone.

The reason I want it unlocked is to avoid the $20 montly fee, my wife stays at home with our son and we have wifi so that would just be a waste of $20. It worked great after I upgraded to my 3g, but now since I decided to be all cool and slick and try to be fancy I’ve now shut her out of an iPhone.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

After I JB my FW 2.1 3g iphone I notice a huge diference . Now it lags , it’s sluggish and apps takes longer to open. This might be why a lot people are having problems with there iPhone . I’m restoring for good. Note , there’s three 3g iPhone in my house and they all got the same behavior after I JailBroke them. The Devs team needs to look in to this
