thanks everybody, it works perfect it was my very first time jailbraking
i had 2.1 firmware with itunes 8.0 works!!!!!

[tsandershsa]

This did not work for me...xp pro w/itunes8...I did everything as written (unchecked the "change boot logo") but when the phone rebooted it was stuck on the apple logo...no amount of reboots to the phone would make it go further...I'm in the process of doing a restore... Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the tips, worked flawless on Vista 64bit without having to downgrade itunes..

Will this keep all of my apps, music, pics, cydia apps, etc? Thanks for advice. This site is awesome.

I had success with this method at the second time of trying. At first I didnt delete the com.apple.mobile.installation.plist and the iphone froze when booting up, iTunes would not recognise the iphone and eventually after trying to get back to 2.1, I nearly bricked the phone and had the most trouble I've ever had with my iphone. Eventually I got sorted.

My fix:
Flashed stock firmware 2.02 on a 7.7 Itunes machine (yes I have 2 pc's )
Used quickpwn build 150 to quickpwn, jailbreak and unlock 2.02

Upgraded to 2.1 on my itunes 8 machine, this retained jailbreak and unlock

ran "quickpwniphone2.1" on my Itunes 7.7 machine this time "deselecting everything but install cydia" and deleting com.apple.mobile.installation.plist and replacing MobileInstallation.framework

My iphone is now working great and cydia installs just fine, almost feels as smooth as when it came out the box at 1.1.4

The reason it asks you to use ITunes 7.7 is the applemobiledevice.dll file was upgraded in iTunes 8 and this is what detects jailbreaking attempts and leads to error 1600 and error 6

In my experience it seems you dont see these errors if you use the stock files like 2.02 (which can be jailbroken in windows) and update through itunes8 to 2.1

When I tried to use "quickpwniphone2.1" on my Itunes 8 machine it detected applemobiledevice.dll as a fault and did not run to completion properly, perhaps if you only install cydia it will work but if you try to jailbreak or unlock it will not under iTunes 8



Using "quickpwniphone2.1" under itunes 7.7 did bring up any error reports in the script and ran to completion

I hope this helps some of you with problems

I got "quickpwn has stopped working..." Anyone else get this?

[Sseadoubleyou]

[QUOTE=sye46;2200641]that is because you kept the "custom boot logo" checked. there is a bug in quickpwn that if you choose to update the logo, it leaves it blank. if you unchecked that checkbox in quickpwn, you would retain the apple boot logo.

i made the same mistake.

I'm not talking about the apple logo when the phone is booting up (did you not read? lol) I'm talking about the APP STORE ICON on the home screen of the phone...it's gone after I put cydia and installer back on the phone. When i reboot the phone, home screen comes back the icon is gone...no more app store! How more clearer could I possibly be and how could you get that confused with the boot logo? LOL...

worked like a charm, on the first try, did not uninstall itunes 8, xp pro xp3 machine. thanks a lot

I'm not sure if this will work but try installing BossPrefs and see if AppStore is even listed under the Poof! menu. If it is try hiding it and respring, then go back and unhide it and respring again to try and "reset" your springboard.

And I was also wondering how he got the boot screen out of what you said....

you have to delete the com.apple.mobile.installation.plist in order for those to show up.

[Ricky2480]

I have...I'll try one more time

[Jayman11]

Ok for some reason when i open up Quickpwn and get to the browse for firmware there is no firmware...i got to the directories in the folder and it is blanks in the quickpwn program but if i go into the folders on my desktop manually i can see that there are 3 files...bbupdater.patch, lockdownd.patch, Info. What am i missing here?

EDIT: NM, I'm an idiot. I just realized it's looking for the ispw file.
