iPod touch pwnage tool 2.0 software released

Xavier said:
I can not get my iPod touch into DFU mode, but i still get stuck on the DFU screen on pwnage, and the restore file never works. error 6..

Why does it not work?
Click to expand...

I need to impress upon people there are 2 recovery modes on the iphone..

Restore (Picture of USB cable and Itunes Logo)
DFU (Blank Screen / Black Screen)

DFU is confusing on MAC becasue you have to count and hope that your timing is correct. If it works Itunes will open automatically and tell you your phone needs to be restored, your phone will look like its off (blank screen)

On windows you can here the USB connection/disconnection sounds

Here are the counts

from your springboard (desktop of your phone)
Hold down the Home and Power/Sleep Buttons for 7 (seven) seconds your phone will turn off.
Take your finger off of the Power/sleep button but continue to hold home for 10 more seconds until Itunes opens or it tells you that your iphone needs to be restored..

In windows you will here the connection sound and maybe even see the device installer say "installing DFU driver"

In MAC if itunes is open you will see the event notifier say something about Waiting for ipod very quickly then, the message about restoring your iphone.

The inportant part is that the phones display is !!blank!! if you have the itunes logo, you need to try again..

Heres a youtube video that walks you through DFU..

I suggest that you try the pwnage tool as many times as you can it really helps get the phone into dfu. here are some hints that I have gotten to work..

Leave your iphone unplugged until directed to plug it in.
Make sure you turn auto Lock off under your settings
Make sure you have itunes closed unless it is opened by Pwnage or by connecting your phone.

Following these few tid-bits my really help your chances for success.

Ok I got it to work the second time. It was fairly easy.
The first try I did the automated method for the Original iPhone.

I have it Jailbroken/Unlocked to V2.0
The easier to save everything in one directory.

1. Download Pwnage 2.0 (Here
2. Download Bootloaders (Here)
3. Download Firmware from iTunes, this is the best method. (stored in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates)
4. Click on the iphone and do Expert mode
5. Follow the steps to pick the Firmware and the two bootloaders.
6. then Under the expert panel you should see 6 icons and the Build button at the bottom.
7 click on general and select update baseband.
8 Everything else should be setup automatically (all the settings for different icons)
9 You can change to default apple logo from the pineapple logo under the custom logo icon.
10. Build
11. Save it to the same folder or somewhere u can find it again
12. Put iphone in recovery mode (*Keep it connected to the computer via the USB* Turn it off then hold home button until you see connect to computer. Some phone you will have to hold sleep/wake + home button after the phone is turned of to put it into recovery)
13. After its in recovery, goto itunes and you should see the iphone. click on restore while (alt/option is pressed). This will open a dialog and ask you for the ISPW (firmware) file. Select the firmware you just built.
14. Let it fully restore the phone.
15. Enjoy

bravo sir. you saved the iphone from being another brick. took me about 3 times before it actually worked, so you gotta be patient. and very lucky
 
Teathering is cool but becareful its a TOS violation, if you blow your data cap for the month and they see a trend of over usage they can suspend your data privlages. Verizon did this to several people becuase the LG phones make it damn near childish to bluetooth teather.

Not to say I'm not going to do it >: ) but I dont want anyone to get in trouble here.

FYI that is for the 2.5G 1st generation phones, if you put a 3G in recovery mode instead of DFU it will comeback with an Error 6
Click to expand...

yeah, i put it in DFU. recovery mode was messing me up all night.

update: well f'n a. i can't sync now. it just freezes on me. gonna try one more time with pwnage tool..
 
About time but i'm not even sure i want to upgrade after all the buggy reports of 2.0. Oh well i can try and then downgrade if things get to...weird

EDIT: Whats the Cydia package and do i need it?

Cydia is installers younger smarter brother.. :) Yes, if you dont have it you wont beable to install ANY third party apps unless its from the App store.. Which partially defeates the purpose of staying up till 5 am.. :)

PS Anyway around the 1600 error in Xp/Vista?
 
Just tried the Pwnage tool on my 3.9BL iPhone 1G and it worked fine first time. Its now Jailbroken and unlocked. :):)

Installing Apps from the AppStore as we speak.
 
Well Iphone 3g is a bust on the new firmware... I have recompiled my ipsw several times and even tried cosmos firmware through a torrent but after my phone is restored the I have "No Service" no 3g and no edge.

I'm at a loss here, anyone wanna post up their 3g ipsw so i can get it off rapid share?

Thanks!
 
MAIL crashing?

Hi all I got mine to work, but now my Mail app keeps crashing and I'm not able to add/remove accounts. It also won't let me sync my mail accounts through iTunes. This wasn't a problem for me before on any previous unlocks.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?
 
Umm...ok i think my phone might be hosed. I did everything by the book and restored the firmware. It restored and then launched the BootNeuter and got "Flashing Baseband. This may take up to 2 minutes" and its been stuck there for the past 13 minutes.

I dont want to touch it just because it maybe taking longer than usual but i dont think it should take this long. What do i do?

Make that 15 mins

PS my phone was a 4GB iPhone running a Pwned 1.1.4 FW

PS i also get these from iTunes

PS My phone is also getting hot

Updated to 2.0, unlock, jailbreak fine.

Putting into DFU mode is a tricky one. Better to set it into DFU before starting all of it, by holding Power and Home button until iTunes tells you it's that mode. Then start PwnageTool and when you get to that part it will work much easier. Before doing this, I tried 3x times while the phone was in normal mode, could not do it.

If you are customer of one of Apple's partners (like O2 or AT&T) with a 3G iPhone and you do not have service after Pwning, re-build your custom firmware but this time uncheck "Activate" on the general pane during the Pwnage process. You'll need to be in expert mode to do this.

After Pwning your iphone, you may need to go to general settings and turn off 3G and then turn it back on again. Entering and leaving Airplane mode may achieve the same result.

Well, I will hold off until there's a way to install app support. Without it it's kinda useless.

According to the Pwnage tool, Installer is not implemented and some say it won't be because Nullriver is on the App store.

For anyone having trouble getting into DFU mode, try setting your Mac's clock to show seconds and use it as a timer. 10 seconds with both buttons held down, then 10 seconds just holding the home button.

When accuracy is important, trying to count seconds is a waste of time unless you have a gift for that sort of thing. Most of us don't!
 
I don't get why DFu mode is so important for you people. After the tool finishes creating the custom ipsw file, I quited pwnage and put my iPhone in Recovery Mode. (by pressing the Home and Power button for about 20 secs). I started iTunes and alt clicked on Restore, thus allowing me to select the custom firmware. I restored it and everything worked perfectly.
DFU Mode is complicated for many people to activate and causes problems...
 
Recovery and EDGE iPhone

Howto get into recovery mode:
  1. Turn it off
  2. Plug in the USB-connector
  3. Push and hold the power- and home-button
  4. After approx. 3 seconds release the power-button but still hold the home-button
  5. When the recovery-sign appears, you can release the home-button as well
found here (complete how-to for the pawnage tool): http://rolf.haynberg.de/?p=32

Since installer.app and therefore apps like BossPrefs and Services no longer work you cannot disable edge anymore.
Here's a manual how to disable edge on iPhones with firmware 2.0 http://rolf.haynberg.de/?p=42
 
Is there a way with this program to just unlock a first gen iphone for use on all networks rather than jailbreak it as well as I'm not bothered about installing apps that are not on the itunes store
 
i have a unlocked 1.1.4 iphone...(probably unlocked with ziphone but not sure as mobile phone company unlocked it) and i want to use the new pwnage tool to get it to 2.0.

can i just use the pwnage tool right away?

or

restore to 1.1.4 original firmwire via itunes and then update to 2.0 via itunes and then use the pwnage tool?

i first brought my iphone after the 9th Nov if that helps?

Thanks
 
having trouble

sorry to repost this, but i have an iphone with the pineapple screen flashing every 3 secs after itunes installed ispw of pwnage. I have tried redoing everything and downloading everything and nothing.

i finished updating my mac, ibook g4 to the latest itunes and osx (10.5.4)

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong..


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First and foremost i had ziphone, so i restored to factory settings and upgraded to 2.0. (i don't have at&t) so my phone requires activation.

i used pwnage tool 2.0, used simple mode, downloaded BL39, and 46.
restord with the .ipsw(located on my desktop) that pwnage made for me.

when it was done, the iphone turned on i saw the pineapple logo, and for some reason it dosn't get pass that point, it is just turns on the pineapple logo for 3 secs, then it turns it off, then it turns it on for another 3 secs and its been doing so for a while, i will try to reinstall it.

anyone know what i can do?


***********************************
it finally worked..
i started from scratch again. (thanks)
 
I am doing this to be able to sell the phone on ebay (1st Gen 8gb)
is there anything specific i need to do to make it able to just pop in any GSM sim and work?
or will this do it if i select unlock?

Yeah, I had the same issue. Turns out it's my restored iPhone backup that was causing issues, not sure why. I re-Pwned and when asked New iPhone Setup or Restore from Backup, I chose new. It sucks because I had to redo all my accounts, settings, wireless, etc., but it worked and I was able to get Mail working fine. :)

You need to jailbreak it so that you can unlock it...
