Jailbreak Apple iPhone 3G 3.0 Firmware Tricks

The good news for iPhone & iPodTouch users. Apple is going to released Firmware 3.0 for iPhone 3G, 2G and iPod Touch users on June 17 & New iPhone, iPhone 3G S on 19th June.

Unluckily earlier we can’t unlock the 2.0 firmware of 3G iPhone 2.0 as of now soon in a month or two. But before, continuing please note that a great number of users are having trouble with Winpwn. Make sure you have Windows Xp as many are reporting Vista as usual have some problems. Winpwn has been updated to 2.0.0.3, hopefully that should fix a lot of the issues. These are the instructions how to use jailbreak in your  2.0, 3G iPhone with Windows and WinPwn.

Step One

Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage. In it place Winpwn 2.0.0.4 and the latest 2.0 firmware.

Step Two
Install WinPwn by extracting the downloaded zip from Step One and running the setup executable. Once WinPwn has been installed it will put a shortcut icon on your desktop. Double click to launch the application.

Step Three
Once WinPwn has opened click the Browse .ipsw button.

Step Four
Locate the 2.0 firmware file (iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw) from the Pwnage folder on your desktop and click Open.

Step Five
WinPwn will check the firmware to make sure its valid. Now click the IPSW Builder button.

Step Six
The IPSW Builder window will open to the Applications tab. Check to select Cydia and if you are not on AT&T then check to select YouTube Fix.

Step Seven
Click to select the Custom Images tab. From here you can can select your own boot images.

Remember the rules for them: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension bellow 320x480. If you would like to use the iClarified ones they can be found here: Boot Logo, Recovery Logo.

Step Eight
Click to select the Custom Payload tab. From this tab you can select custom payloads you have created to be automatically installed. We will discuss this in a future tutorial.

Step Nine
Click to select the Advanced tab. Check to select: Activate Phone and noticed Deselect Activate if you have an iPhone legitimately activated on an official carrier.

For the partition sizer, set it to 512MB. If you do not set it to some thing about 500MBS, It will not work.

Step Ten
Click the Build .ipsw button at the bottom left to build your custom ipsw firmware file. Navigate to your Pwnage folder and click the Save button.

Step Eleven
Once WinPwn has finished creating your custom firmware then click the iPwner button from the main menu.

Step Twelve
Select the custom firmware file we just built from the Pwnage folder on your desktop and click the Open button.

Step Thirteen
You will then be notified that your iTunes has been Pwned!

Step Fourteen
Next we will need to put the iPhone in the DFU mode and restore using iTunes. To put your iPhone into DFU mode please follow these instructions!

Step Fifteen
iTunes will prompt you that you are in recovery mode.

Hold down Shift and click the Restore button in iTunes.

A popup window will appear asking you to select your firmware. Select the Custom firmware file we saved in the Pwnage folder and then click the Open button.

Now Your iPhone will be restored the jailbroken 2.0 firmware!
