GeorgeAs 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

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.
August 9th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
yes, it also includes Installer
August 9th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
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?
August 9th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
yeah i finish process with winpwn and for now is very good
I have cydia and installer
August 9th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
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
August 10th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
All of these links are now ‘forbidden’… whassap?
August 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
This does include Cydia and Installer 4.0 beta
August 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
no, you must first winpwn your itunes before entering DFU mode to “restore” to the custom firmware
August 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
links dead :evil:
August 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
either
August 10th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
pls other Custom Firmware for iPhone 2g ACTIVATED (Unlocked!)
link friends all thnx
August 10th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
you must first download the official version of the firmware, and pwn itunes with that, then you may restore directly through itunes
August 10th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
but apple logo :mrgreen:
August 10th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
yes, and installer 4.0 beta
August 10th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
yes iTunes has to be Pwned first using WinPwn or XPwn
August 10th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
you must pwn with WinPwn or Xpwn First, or else this will not work
August 10th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
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
August 10th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
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
August 10th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Those links were closed, new links to follow.
August 10th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
what image are you refering to? and SummerBoard 2.0 is not availiable yet, but WinterBoard is available through Cydia
August 10th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
new links please new linksssssss :oops:
August 10th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
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?
August 10th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
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!
August 10th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
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.

Is it for the 2G Versions?
Can I make a Backup from my FW 2.0, 2G iPhone, then Restore the FW 2.0.1 File (from your link, is it also opened for all networks?) and then restore my data back?
Because I don’t want to install (copy) all apps again
Thanks for your help

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.
