WinPwn your iPhone 3G
Try these steps to successfully WinPwn your iPhone 3G...
Before starting the WinPwn process, ensure that you have the correct 2.0 firmware for your device.
I recommend creating a new folder on your desktop that contains all of the files needed during the WinPwn process (WinPwn files, firmware files)
1.) Put your iPhone in DFU Mode (how to below)
- Launch iTunes on your PC
- Connect iPhone to PC
- Shut your iPhone off
- Hold Home + Sleep buttons for EXACTLY 10 seconds
- Release Sleep button
- Keep holding Home button until iTunes detects your iPhone (5-6 seconds)
- Screen should still be black, but PC detects iPhone in recovery mode
- Your iPhone is now in DFU mode
2.) Launch WinPwn
3.) Click "Browse .IPSW" and browse to the device firmware that you downloaded. Double-click the firmware file.
4.) WinPwn will now scan your IPSW file and the "Build IPSW" button will become click-able
5.) Click "Build IPSW"
- Applications Tab - Check the "Install Cydia" box, do not check "Youtube Activation Fix"
- Custom ImagesTab - Select the boot/recovery images, or leave blank, makes no difference
- Custom Payload Tab - Skip this tab (leave default)
- Advanced Tab - ONLY check the "No Wipe" box
6.) Click "Build IPSW" at the bottom of the window
- Browse to the folder that you created for all of your WinPwn files, and save the IPSW file to that directory
- When the progress bar finishes, you will receive a popup window that reads "successfully created IPSW file"
- Make sure iTunes is still open
7.) Click "iPwner"
- Browse to the new "Custom" firmware that you just saved and select it
- You will receive a message that "iTunes has been Pwned!"
- iTunes will close
8.) Re-open iTunes
9.) Ensure that your iPhone is in DFU mode (if it's not, repeat step 1)
10.) Hold Shift + Click "Restore"
11.) Browse to the "Custom.....ipsw" file that you created
12.) Restore that firmware to your iPhone

A few problems after update
I managed last night to update to 2.0, unlocked and jailbroke

But now when i try to connect my Iphone through itunes i get this message ' Itunes cannot read the contents of the Iphone. Go to summary tab in iphone preferances and click restore to restore this iphone to its factory settings'
And thats the only option i have, i cant sync music or nothing. I dont have a Mac, i use a pc, and before the update i used a programme called MGTEK dopisp which allowed me to sync music and vids etc. using windows media player, now it says it has synced music with my Iphone, but it doesnt show up on the Iphone
Has anyone any idea how to resolve these problems? Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

I seem to be having trouble in the last step of pwning my iphone 3g. I made my custom ipsw build using winpwn, went to DFU mode, but when i try to restore my phone, my screen on my phone turns white once it says "preparing iphone for restore" then it gives me this error:
"The ipod 'ipod' cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)".
--Improvement from winpwn 2.0 where i got error 1601 over and over again
any ideas???

I have some doubts about upgrading to 2.0 and using this jailbreak
I am using iPod touch 8gb 1.1.4
Considerations:
1. I'm pretty satisfied with 1.1.4, the only thing I look forward to in 2.0 is Chinese input support.
2. I can't use app store, since I lack my own credit card/payment method.
3. Does 2.0 support installer.app?? I tried the ipsw builder but it didn't have an option for installer under the applications tab.
4. Will the apps I get from installer work?
5. This jailbreak looks pretty cool...
6. I like keeping my software up to date.
7. I was planning to reformat my 1.1.4.
Please help me decide,
Thanks in advance.Last edited by That Asian Guy; 08-03-2008 at 10:19 AM.

to all of you who have had problems, and are still having problems....YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR YOUR SETTINGS ARE F*CKED.
WinPwn 2.0.0.3 DOES unlock/jailbreak 1g pre/post 2.0 upgrade
it does jailbreak, not unlock the 3g's
it is stable, with no problems....I have done more than 100 of each phones, not one major problem, some programs reset but it was those programs not the jailbreaking.
IF YOU HAVE AN ACTIVATED PHONE STOP LEAVING THE CHECK IN THE "ACTIVATE" BOX...UNCHECK IT OR YOUR PHONE WILL NOT WORK
AS WELL AS YOU TUBE FOR AT&T CUST. UNCHECK THAT. LEAVE EVERYTHING BUT CYDIA AND CUSTOM IMAGES UNCHECKED
