Unless we are looking at different threads (or posts?) then that one points to the blog post about the new quickpwn for 2.1 that is mac only. I need to know on the windows side.

just wait for someone to upload the custom 2.1 firmware so u can use it on windows. iTunes 8.0 doesnt need to be pwned so u can just restore with the custom firmware. itll save u lots of troube and time

I used the pwnage tool to jailbreak and unlock it at 2.0.1 and then when I updated to 2.1 it didn't lock it, but I lost installer and cydia...

Hi

Please pardon if this is a well discussed question. I tried looking but didn't find anything so please direct me to where I can get some answers. Thanks.

The question: I have a iPhone 3G 2.1 and iTunes 8 on a mac. I've downloaded both Pwnage Tool and QuickPwn from the dev team. But I have no clue what to do next? Could anyone guide me to the steps to jailbreak my iPhone 3G on a mac. This thread states for Windows. I've never done this before.

Much appreciated. Thanks.
 
I'm waiting until the boss says I can upgrade

While I posted a series of steps on how to jailbreak 2.1, I recommend strongly that you all hold off. There are many issues that dev team is working through. A jailbreak isn’t quite enough.

Many apps are not yet stable. Categories will not work because we cannot launch one app from another at this time. Cydia is not yet stable. I recommend you wait a day or two still.

Bah! I want the new 2.1 firmware more than I need a jailbreak right now. I have already gone ahead and done a restore (Shift+Restore route) and updated to 2.1. Everything is working alot better now. Better performance, better signal, and better battery life. I'll wait for the devs to release a windows quickpwn that works with iTunes 8.
 
Confirmed and working.

Just follow the instructions AS IS.

Its a lil confusing but was super easy.Took me less then 30 min total time, less downloading, but i downloaded all files last night and started today.

Cydia works.

Im just awaiting the new updates for winter board before installing.

Jailbroken 3g Iphone White

Cons though the only reason i want to jail break is to use winterboard since i want to design themes. Downside is i lost a few bars, maybe 1 and im testing 3g and it doesnt seem as fast.

Though the question is do i reugrade back ITUNES 8? cuz he never stated to reupdate. and using 7.7 wont let you use 3g i phone, i get an error.

I agree. 2g 2.0.2 jb -> 2.1 jb here

everything worked fine. use the software he provided, i assume it wasn't ssh but just usb?

PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS exactly, then you will be fine

and for itunes, after you finished the jb business with 7.7, just click on itunes8 installer and then you are back in business, syncing everything works fine

warning: if you downgrade to 7.7, dont try to import any music. Last time i did it i messed up my library completely, causing me to reimport everything i have when i reinstalled itunes 8. if you are already with itunes 8, follow the step, downgrade, after done, reupgrade, your library will be still intact.
 
I followed the instructions and I now have my phone jailbroken on 2.1, all "stock" iphone apps (safari, maps, etc) work great and so do the jailbroken apps. The problem is that none of the apps I've downloaded from the app store will load now. They all crash instantly.

If it's helpful, dmesg reports the following after a crash:
launchd[180] syscall_builtin_profile: /private/var/mobile/Applications/982BC30F- E268-48EF-97D4-308A33DBDED1.sb (seatbelt)

uf_setup failed, kr=00000005, uf_session=-1060332160

The bold part is the problem area I think.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any idea how to solve it?

Not sure what caused this, but I fixed it. I did two things so I'll tell you all both of them, but I think only the second one fixed it.

First, I went into itunes, clicked "Store->Authorize Computer" and authorized (again?). This did not fix the problem.

I then updated an appstore app (one that happened to need updating). This fixed all apps, and they now load. I'd imagine that downloading a new (free) app would also fix the issue if you don't have an app that happens to need updating.

Again, I'm not sure what caused this and I don't know why it's fixed, but those are the steps I took. I doubt that the authorization helped at all, but in case it did, I mentioned it.
 
i followed everything completely even the Total Commander part and it worked :cool:

but i have a problem when i turn on my iPhone i don't see a boot logo i did the custom boot logo too, is there a way to fix this?
