Jailbreak Update: PwnageTool 2.2.1 for Mac Has Released

iPhone Dev Team has just released a bug fix version of PwnageTool 2.2.1. This is a minor update fix a bug related to Simple Mode. Earlier, iPhone Dev Team quoted that you should not use “simple mode” to jailbreak iPhone firmware 2.2:

‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool for iPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the ‘General’ window and change two things: Deselect ‘activate’ ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).

‘Hactivate’ means to activate the iPhone yourself without Apple. This is used if you live outside an officially supported region and cannot activate the phone using iTunes.

And, now with PwnageTool 2.2.1, you may use Simple Mode for the jailbreak. For those who have downloaded PwnageTool 2.2, you can download the latest version of PwnageTool here.

PwnageTool 2.2 is Here To Jailbreak iPhone 2.2 firmware

The iPhone Dev-Team have recently replied to Apple’s new iPhone 2.2 firmware with a new version of PwnageTool 2.2 and QuickPwn 2.2. Less than 24 hrs after Apple released the 2.2 firmware, the Dev Team have supplied a stable jailbreak and unlock for iPhone 2G users and jailbreak for iPod Touch 1G users.

There as a few points that you should notice here (Please Read Carefully)

For iPhone 3G

• They suggest to use QuickPwn for iPhone 3G factory unlocked. You should use PwnageTool 2.2 to jailbreak your iPhone 3G without a factory-unlock, to prevent the baseband update and the future unlocks.
• The new version of QuickPwn or PwnageTool will NOT unlock your iPhone 3G. iPhone Dev Team is still in process to develop a solution for unlock. And, if you’re using a locked version iPhone 3G and want to unlock in future, please do NOT use QuickPwn and do not use the official IPSW or iTunes update process.
• In other words, if you’re using iPhone 3G, the only way to have a Safe Jailbreak is to use PwnageTool (Mac only). By using QuickPwn to jailbreak iPhone 3G, you’ll not be able to unlock your iPhone 3G in future, even iPhone Dev Team develops the solution.

For iPhone 2G

• iPhone 2G (or 1st generation iPhone) user should have no problem with jailbreak & unlock firmware 2.2 using both QuickPwn / PwnageTool. As iPhone Dev Team mentioned, restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes, then run QuickPwn to do the magic.

For those using latest model of Macbook / Macbook Pro / Macbook Air

• These latest models of Macbooks have an issue with DFU mode of iPhone. Please consider to perform jailbreak on other computers.

Before you update to 2.2 firmware you should aware a several statement from iPhone Dev-Team below. They state on the blog that:

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Read item 1 again and again.
3. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
4. These are suitable for the recent 2.2 release.
5. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
6. The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.
7. Choosing the correct tool is crucial. Be warned!

NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool for iPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the ‘General’ window and change two things: Deselect ‘activate’ ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).

‘Hactivate’ means to activate the iPhone yourself without Apple. This is used if you live outside an officially supported region and cannot activate the phone using iTunes.

Baseband 101

The ‘baseband’ is the generic name given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 2.2 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband. This could be bad for certain people, depending on your ultimate aim.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G

This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too.

Locked iPhone 3G - Preserve Baseband

This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will give you the maximum chance for any upcoming software unlock. To upgrade your phone to 2.2 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.

There are plenty of tutorials about this process on the web, but PwnageTool contains intuitive graphics and easy to follow prompts that should have you up and running in no time at all.

Locked iPhone 3G

If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said.

iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.

iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time.

iPhone Firmwares To Download

As you know, I have kept a list of firmware IPSW location for ease of download. The list is updated with iPhone firmware 2.2. If you need to download the firmware file directly, please go ahead and check out my post here.

Warning: For Jailbreak iPhone user, please do not upgrade to firmware 2.2 until iPhone Dev Team announces the next version of QuickPwn and PwnageTool release. For details, please refer to
this post about Jailbreak Update on firmware 2.2. Also you may read my post about iPhone Dev-Team announcement.

Warning: Do Not Upgrade 2.2 firmware

This is a reminder that those interested in a software unlock should not update to the 2.2 firmware until instructions are made available. Quoted from iPhone Dev-Team, the developers of QuickPwn and PwnageTool mentioned you better hold off the upgrade.

So, as anticipated our friends the misfits have recently released the long awaited 2.2 update. We can confirm that this update SHOULD NOT be applied using iTunes if you want the chance of a soft-unlock in the near future.

Also,

If you apply this update and you previously relied on PwnageTool or QuickPwn to activate your phone, it may become temporarily deactivated and unusable (until we release the new version of PwnageTool or QuickPwn).

The existing version of QuickPwn and PwnageTool was designed for jailbreak and unlock firmware 2.1. You should expect the next version of the tools can jailbreak firmware 2.2 and will be released very soon as the team noted,

We believe that our Pwnage technique (and therefore the Jailbreak) isn’t affected, but PwnageTool and QuickPwn do not support this release as yet, so DO NOT install 2.2 using iTunes as you will lose your jailbreak.

and

PwnageTool and QuickPwn updates will be released as soon as possible that will allow a safe update path to 2.2.

So, please hold off the upgrade and stay tuned. Considering that the iPhone Dev-Team is one step closer to finishing the unlock, I would strongly recommend you wait until i post the proper upgrade tutorial.

Shortcut to toggle Wifi on iPhone

On demand turn-on the Wifi on iPhone is one way to gain a longer battery life. However, switching Wifi between ON & OFF is not so straightforward on iPhone. You need to tap Setting -> Wi-Fi -> ON/OFF to switch on/off the Wifi.

For iPhone jailbreak user you have the privilege to use Wifi toggle application for free. A mini application known as “WifiToggle” allows you to toggle the Wifi directly on the Home screen. Just tap it to switch on the Wifi and tap it again to turn Wifi off. You can find the application in Cydia or Installer 4.0.

One Step Closer To iPhone 3G Unlock

iPhone Dev-Team has announced they are one step closer to a 3G unlock and now have a clear path to follow.

They claim and said:

This ability we now have to spawn background tasks means we are one step closer to the 3G soft unlock. We have a clear path to follow, and “all” that remains is the implementation.

A quick summary of the key 3G-unlock-related achievements we’ve made so far:
1. Unsigned code execution on 3G baseband
2. Reverting 01.45 baseband to previous versions
3. Patching of static text (the AT&V demo)
4. Injection of AT routines (the task list demo)
5. Injection of background tasks (this demo)

Now it’s on to overriding the baseband code that enforces the carrier lock.

P.S. That “One more thing!” text is being generated by the backgrounded “steve” task at 5-second intervals. The “A0” is the task’s priority.

P.P.S. Remember…don’t update to official 2.2 when it comes out if you ultimately want a 3G soft unlock!

iPhone Dev-Team Warns About iPhone 2.2 Firmware

The iPhone Dev-Team warns that installing the iPhone 2.2 firmware might prevent a software unlock when it is available. They were also thought a good news about unlocking iPhone 3G progress.

And they said:

"We’ve made some decent progress with the iPhone 3G, nothing worthy of a party as yet but we are moving along nicely, we’ll keep you updated on this.

Now for something a bit more serious, we’ve explained about Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the immediate installation of these updates without knowing what they do to your device.

This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s upcoming 2.2 release. Installing ‘2.2’ on the iPhone 3G could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!

Please don’t blindly install the update and then complain about it later ;-)

I'll post the safe upgrade path when it becomes available. Read more details on their blog.

iPhone Bluetooth: Unlocking in Progress.....

The developer name is MeDevil and he is working on a project (http://iphonebluetooth.tk/) to unlock the iphone bluetooth. They got some interesting progress in this way, and through an application, developed by MeDevil, and the terminal, they were able to search and find two other bluetooth devices (a sonyericsson phone and an hackintosh) from the iPhone.

And one of their leaders said...

Its not actually “unlocking” but its more of an expression… i am one of the leaders on the team… we are expanding the functionality of bluetooth giving it all the capabilities of your average phone… it should already have this but we all know apple… so sit back and we will have this out as soon as possible

So we wait and see that will gonna happen and works with our iPhone real soon...Good luck to MeDevil Team!

Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3G (2.1 firmware) using QuickPwn 2.1 (For Windows)

Regarding to this post, the instructions below is quite similar with unlocking & jailbreaking iPhone 2.1 firmware update (iPhone 2G), the different things here, you don't need to unlock your iPhone 3G. But for iPhone 2G, unlocking and jailbreaking is very recommended instead. Check out my post here for those who would like to unlock & jailbreak iPhone 2.1 firmware update (iPhone 2G).

Before you run into the details of jailbreak, i would like to mention about "unlock" and "jailbreak" words here. You’re probably aware that the word “Unlock” is missing in the post title. It's meaning to say that, there is no solution to unlock iPhone 3G so far. For now, QuickPwn can only jailbreak iPhone 3G. That means you are still bind to single carrier and can’t use SIM card from other carriers.

Let me remind you here, "unlock" word is refer to the process to open up your iPhone to accept all carriers. Unlocked iPhone allows you to use SIM card from all carriers. You are no longer bind to the official carrier (e.g. AT&T) approved by Apple. And for, "jailbreak" your iPhone means you are allowed to install 3rd party applications on iPhone. This applies to all version of firmwares. Anyways, this post is devoted for iPhone 3G users who want to jailbreak their iPhones. You may also see on how to jailbreak iPhone 3G for 2.2 firmware.
