Is there a difference between jailbreaking with Pwnage Tool versus QuickPwn?
I've always used QuickPwn, but don't want to wait for it if there's no difference.

I think pwnage tool is used with a Mac computer from what ive been reading. So if you have a Mac, your good to go.
 
I have a 2G...running 2.2.1..unlocked with Quickpwn. Just used Pwnage 3.0 with the 3.0 firmware.

Looks to be working great!
You should upload your custom .ipsw so I don't have to wait for QuickPwn. I have a concert to get to tonight...Lol. I'd Imagine that would work since I am not on a MAC
 
On 2G iPhone unlocked and JB with latest pwnage tool and 3.0. Youtube and Maps both working flawlessly. Went without cydia for too long.

Alright I'm having an issue here. I've downloaded the ipsw from apple for my 1g iPhone

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...090617.XsP76/iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw

I've run it thru pwnage tool using simple settings.

Now I set the iPhone into restore mode (hold home, turn on, continue holding home till iTunes icon).

Open iTunes, plug in iPhone, hit option + restore, select custom firmware and done.

Except while restoring the custom firmware I get an 1604 error. Any ideas?
 
Sss

Same thing happened here. Had to restore to stock 3.0 then put into DFU instead of restore mode.
