Pwnage 2.0.3.1

Beginner Questions...

Thanks Tee Jay, am I just follow the step of the Pwnage will do? Is there any point I need to be careful and don't mess up? Also after making the image of the ipsw, can i still restore back to original setting in future?
 
Can't Back Up with 2.0.2

I updated my firmware last night with Pwnage 2.0.3.1 (I think .1) and now iTunes won't back up. It starts the process but stops part way though.
Also I have some larger video podcasts that I have sync to my iPhone and for some reason every time I sync my iPhone iTunes re-syncs them, takes them off and puts them back on. It's annoying because it takes so long. This happened when I was on 2.0.1 also. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix?
 
So... has anybody actually gotten Pwnage 2.0.3.1 to work properly? I was a victim of the keychain issues with 2.0.3 and don't want to go through another useless night of restoring again...

Does the Fix Permissions thing take care of wifi connection issues too? I had password problems with my network and with mail until I went back to 2.0.1 firmware...
 
Some problems but maybe easily solved

OK, long story started shortened began yesterday.
Used Pwnage 2.0.3.1
All went well untill Mail App starts crashing on load mm No Mail ? No Carrier connection but WiFi is OK once I reset all my passwords.
Went back to Pwned IPSW 2.01 No major drama everything works.
Today .. discover fix for the mail problem. Using Cydia download Boss Prefs' use Fix Permissions and Bingo Mail App works just fine on WiFi but oH ... there is a problem ? Again cannot make or receive calls SMS etc cannot access SIM lock/Pin etc etc aggrrrr lot of time wasted.
Go back to Pwned FW 2.0.1 again all is working well but I am perplexed and start looking for duplicates of this problem with the carrier (BTW VodaFone Australia) and stumble accross this in this very forum.
You did something wrong. You need to UNCHECK activate. Run the whole process again and make sure you select NOT TO ACTIVATE.

So .. looks like I am going to have to have another go at it tomorrow.
If it fixes my problem then I know it was not a problem with Pw 2.0.3.1 but just something I overlooked rushing through thinking I knew it all. I shall edit this tommorrow after my next attempt with Pwnage 2.0.3.1.

Update:
OK Just ran Pwnage 2.0.3.1 again made a new IPSW file but this time I made sure I Unchecked the Activate iPhone check box and finally got the whole thing done yet again.
Result = no problems at all, no Mail App crash, No passwords problems, No carrier or connection problems. So iy works fine if you do it the correct way.
Took me 3 days and 5 attempts but finally just took my time and it worked fine.
Only glitch I had was iTunes threw up an error that the phone could not access iTunes store.
Quit iTunes disconnected the phone turned it off and on again reconnected to Mac iTunes loaded and I ran "Set up as a new phone" took a little time because I had to sync all my music and photos again but it's done yahoooooooo !
 
When I go to add cydia sources to pwnage, everything goes fine, then when I click the download tab, pick the source, and hit refresh, it freezes.

I have tried adding multiple sources that I know are valid urls and get the same results.

Anyone else having this problem? Just trying to package all of my cydia apps to be included in the ispw before I upgrade.

Thanks
 
Keep rebooting.....

I had tried to use the tools, but after i restore the phone, it did not show me error message, but just keep rebooting at the start page, I had no ideas where went wrong, so if anyone know please let me know. Thanks so much....

Man just do it the simple way and you have less hassles. Loading all the sources for Cydia after via WiFi is easier and just as quick.
There is nothing in any of the instructions with Pwnage that tells you to do this method of addind the sources to the restor IPSW restore file.

The way I see it Pwnage Tool is for "Jaikbreaking" just keep it simple and follow the instructions then do all your other stuff once you get your phone up and running.
Adding your own ideas to some one elses program will always cause you grief.
 
hope this helps

For anyone having trouble using the windows rc3 version, try enabling the boot logo change. This helped me get over the logo freezing and got to the springboard just fine.
 
I really can't figure what is wrong...

I had follow through all the steps. Until the last step, after restore through the iTunes, it state will restart the iPhone. But it just keep restarting at the logo page for 30mins and keep restarting, is that normal or did i do something wrong? Please help.....

I had the same thing happen to me. I put the phone back into DFU mode and restored with the ORIGINAL apple firmware. This brings the phone back to virgin. Then I used pwnage on ANOTHER MAC and it worked flawlessly.

It canbe a pain in the ass to get it back into DFU. but it does work. So if you access another mac you should be fine !
 
I am hoping this is just a simple problem. I am unable to create a custom .ipsw file. Here is the log file.

2008-09-01 11:03:27 - Loaded .ipsw file from '/Users/Jon/Desktop/ownage/iPhone1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw'.

I have tried to do it in simple mode and I have tried to do it in expert mode, but both with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Phone app is frozen after Pwnage 2.0.3.1

First foray into Jailbreaking / Unlocking yesterday. Had a 1.1.1 phone which I believe was unlocked with iPhoneSimFree. I backup all of my stuff and didn't care what I lost.

1) Downloaded and updated iPhone firware to 2.0.2(5C1)
2) Used PwnageTool 2.0.3.1 (for MAC) to create custom IPSW
3) Restored the IPSW using the option-click --> restore trick.

At this point everything is working fine - except the actual PHONE sreen. I can receive calls. I can make calls using the contacts app. Cannot end those calls without rebooting the phone.

The phone app (including favorites, recents, contacts, dialer) is just dead. When I press the phone button - a dialer screen comes up - but with no "call" text on the green call button and no text on the dock functions. Whether I press anything or not - the app just dies after 5 seconds and goes back the home screen. HELP!!!

So far this is the only problem I have with 2.0.2(5C1)/Pwnage2.0.3.1, but it is a big one :(

Should I try this restore again of 2.0.2?

Is it possible to download 2.0.1 iPhone firmware somewhere and rebuild it? ** FOUND IT - apple.com firmware:

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-5135.20080729.Vfgtr/iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw

I guess I might try Pwnage 2.0.2 w/ Apple Firmware 2.0.1_5B108 soon - if nobody else is having this problem and found a solution...

Thanks

FIXED - uninstalled Kate. Per this thread's recommendation:

https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=6146740&posted=1#post6146740

Loving it again!
 
I have a jailbroken 2.0.1 firmware on my phone, so I was wondering if all the apps and customizations I have downloaded and made will remain if I update to this new version or if I have to redo everything from scratch. And if that is the case what is the best way to backup the customizations I have already done.
 
Phone App crashing

Need Help, I have an iPhone 3G 16Gb and installed Pwnage tool 2.0.3.1 for my Mac (Powerbook G4/ Leopard) and The apps I installed so far from Cydia is Winterboard, Intelliscreen trial, Boss Prefs and Dock Prefs. Everything else works coo, but when I go to Phone it shows the Keypad then quits back to home screen. So I can't access Voicemail, keypad, Recents, or anything in Phone App. Only way I can make a call is through Contacts app but the phone screen does not show up and cannot End call. Need Help Please!!! Thanx
 
download and install boss prefs via Cydia and under the more tab hit fix user dir prefs. Then reboot. If this does not work
Just remake the custom firmware image and reinstall.
 
Fixed Phone app from crashing

Thanx lavrishebo, I'm up and running now. fixing directory permissions worked and also uninstalling Kate fixed it too. I seen that one on the earlier posts. Uninstalling kate rearranges my home screen tho. I already customized my keypad and installed Winterboard themes for backgrounds and downloaded cycorder so I can record video. This software is hella tight. I'll do some more research on how to copy/paste
