iPod touch pwnage tool 2.0 software released

[Knolly]

knolly-

You are missing the point and purpose here- you HAVE to modify the ipsw to pwn a phone.... otherwise it is straight Apple software... and Apple does not issue pwnd ipsws.

If you want to pwn, you HAVE to mod the software. No other way.

No, I'm not.

For one, a non-pwned iPhone can still run legitimate ipsw.

Secondly, I'm wondering if I can make a firmware now and pwn my iPhone later.

The IPSW is not the thing that is pwned, it is the iPhone. An ipsw from pwnage is simply a firmware NOT signed by Apple, and pwning a phone allows it to install unsigned firmware, but does nothing to its ability to install signed firmware.

previosly installed apps with installer?

my gf's iphone is still on 1.1.1 jailbraked and unlocked. she has (with some other apps) one app installed called "iwoman" where she tracks her period... she says it works better than any other tool
if we do the upgrade to 2.0 and them pwnage it what about the apps? (because iwoman has some kind of a database running) will this data stay ?

i also read that installer is not anymore supported with pwnage , but i saw screenshots with installer on it ?

anyone any idea ?

That's what I was referring to, most stuff has to be made available yet. From the technology standpoint you are correct, it is basically the same, though not as user friendly as installer.

Actually, Cydia is much more than just the package manager. It also does the same work that the BSD subsystem used to do, but in a much less buggy and more functional manner.

For the what and why of it, read here.

As I understand it, 3's SIMs don't work in the iPhone.



Once you've unzipped them, you're left with BL-39.bin and BL-46.bin.

Then run Pwnage Tool and it'll ask for their location when it needs them.

It says it can't enter the right DFU mode... what am I doing wrong?

 

[mdwsta4]

so for the moment, just about all apps will be lost until people update them to work with 2.0?
is SSH already in cydia? so if no summerboard, i could at least transfer each image over manually and that should work.

SSH is available, and yes, it'd be possible to transfer the app over... it wouldn't work though. Most (if not all) programs will need to be recompiled and possibly re-written to work on 2.0 software.

Ok, I figured out how to disable EDGE. I built a profile with the Enterprise Tool (iPhone Configuration Utility). All I put into this profile was changes to the APN, so it will not affect anything else.

Now the way to install this is to email it to yourself and then check your email on the iPhone (through WiFi of course). You will see the attachment to your email. Tap on it and you will be presented with a screen to install the profile. Once this is complete, EDGE is now disabled.

In order to remove this profile and use EDGE data, you will have to goto Settings > General > Profile. From here you can remove the profile and put things back to normal.

The way I plan to use this is keep this email filed in a folder that I can reference and install it from. So when I do need data over cellular, I will remove the profile, use my data and then reinstall the profile right away. I used to this on my old phone as I have very limited data.

Hope this helps some people out. I have included the file here zipped as that's all I can do on MR. So unzip it, and then mail it to yourself to enjoy worry free cell phone usage!

WORKS GREAT!! Had to get my Mail working first, but this is by far the easiest way to disable EDGE compared to the other tutorials I've seen so far. No need to open up SFTP or anything. THANKS

OH the original zip file didn't go through but for anyone interested, the original post is near the bottom of page 11.

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?

If anyone else is having trouble with their iPhone Mail crashing, I found an awesome tutorial this morning that worked perfectly. Here's the link: http://www.ben.geek.nz/fixing-iphone-mail-crashes-20-firmware/?disqus_reply=950672#comment-950672

It requires a bit of Terminal, but nothing too hard. Even I could manage. Now my mail is working perfectly

 

[cal6n]

It says it can't enter the right DFU mode... what am I doing wrong?

Are you following the timing in Pwnage Tool? If you're still having trouble getting into DFU mode, try setting your Mac's clock to show seconds and use that as a timer instead. 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 got 2.0 on my gen 1 iPhone but now email crashes whenever I open it. Has anyone come across this and how did they solve it? Everything else works perfectly!

 

[wiseguy]

They improve the zoom in safari

Did anybody noticed with 2.0, we can zoom a lot more in safari. This is a great improvment for me when I'm watching weather map. I think I can zoom two times bigger.

Wh HOO! pwnage FTW!

 

[Van Wildonher]

Now, only waiting on the 3G unlock. Come on guys, show us what ya got.

 

[cualexander]

What I wonder does the fairplay DRM on the apps still apply? Just curious. I can see some heat coming from Apple if the app store is cracked.

someone please help. i had a ziphone 1.1.4 iphone and i tried upgrading to 2.0 pwnage. i can get into DFU, get the pineapple logo, but when i direct itunes to the custom firmware and it goes to restore, i get a 1604 error. yes i cleared out the file in the library.

Maybe try restoring to Apple's original firmware or downgrade back to 1.1.4 and try again

Seriously mate, what are you talking about?

O'course it's the IPSW that's being pwned. iPhone stays the same.

 

[mdwsta4]

i tried downloading 1.1.4 from this link: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/02/26/ipod-iphone-firmware-update-1-1-4-released/

but it downloads as a folder with a bunch of subfolders. not a 'package' like the 2.0 firmware did. so i dont know which part i'm supposed to use for the upgrade.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Maybe try restoring to Apple's original firmware or downgrade back to 1.1.4 and try again

no. the bootloader has to be patched to accept non apple signed firmwares, both firmware and the iphone/ipod touch are modified

 

[Riemann Zeta]

Didn't work. It always fails right after the "building ipsw" screen. It says that my phone didn't enter DFU mode. I tried holding down the power and home buttons for 10 s to reboot the iPhone, but it didn't make any difference.

What gives?

 

[olegandbuster25]

a question about unlocked phones.
do i just put in any sim and its supposed to automaticly start working or what?
cuz i unlocked my phone with this thing (or at least i think i did) but when i put a different sim in it asks me to hook it up to itunes
wtf?????

 

[mrzeve]

If any of you are having problems go download 2.0.1 from the dev team, it was released a few hours ago: blog.iphone-dev.org

This happened a couple of times for me, actually, I spent a good couple hours trying to figure it out.

This is what I did exactly:

1. Put phone into DFU mode. This can be tricky, took me like 500 tries before I got it. To make sure you're in DFU mode, plug the phone in and make sure iTunes 7.7 reconizes it, then hold sleep/wake button and home button together, as soon as the iPhone disappears from iTunes, let go of the sleep/wake button and continue holding home button until it appears back in iTunes. The TRICK -> MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT ON THE LOCK-OUT SCREEN (ie. Screen that says slide to unlock). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU ARE IN THE MAIN SCREEN, for most of us thats the screen where all we can do is make the emergency call.

2. With iPhone in DFU mode, run the pwnage tool 2.0 (simple mode)

3. Choose iPhone (1st generation)

4. If you haven't already downloaded the new firmware for the phone, just do a quick search on google and download the .ipsw firmware 2.0 file, it'll probably be posted in alot of these comments too.

5. The pwnage tool 2.0 should automatically find it, just click it and then click the green arrow.

6. Here is where I ran into some difficulties, 99% of the posts I read said to then point the program to some .bin files. Personally, for me the program just skipped ahead to making the .ipsw, so I just went with the flow.

7. After the .ipsw was created, it was telling me to power off my phone, which is weird because my phone was in DFU mode. So I held sleep/wake button and home button.

8. The pwnage tool then told me to try again for DFU, so follow same steps to get into DFU, then the program finishes, and you have to finish it with iTunes.

9. In iTunes, manually point the restore to the ipsw that was created by the pwnage tool using option + click.

Hope this helps, it took me a good few hours to finally get it to work.

Some good advice. Just add that if you use the newer version 2.0.1 of pwnage it should be easier.
