XP and it's keeps crashing...

Right when it's adding installer package and almost finalizing setup (custom IPSW building), it CRASHES!! I tried to change the location where winpwn is installed and also the location where I'm installing the custom-ipsw file (system drive or external drive)! .... still CRASHES at the same part of the installation process...

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Regards,

Abe

i gotta white 3g
iPhone 3G can not be unlocked, so most of things to check will be faded. You can only jailbreak it yet.

1. Put phone in DFU mode and re restore it to the custom ispw. Sorry that's the hate me part.
2. When done restore to back up. This will get you all of your contacts ect.
3. When that is done hopefully you have made it back from church safe and sound. #2 takes time. You will think your computer rebooted or something because you will be back at the same screen that gave you the choice of restoring from back up or setting up a new phone. Pick set up new phone. Don't worry this will only take a few minutes. When done you will have e-mail and all of your contacts ect.

4. thank me JK only if you'd like.

I'll try to do that now.. Thanks

I played with it for hours until finally changing partition size and that alone let me install cydia AND restored without any errors (including my Error 6).

My Story to get it to work WITHOUT ERROR 6 is:
1) set Partition size to 1000mb (would not work even at 750mb) and cydia would cause WinPWN to crash unless increased to 1000mb (maybe smaller would work also).

I did all the other tricks as far as switching USB ports, WinZP and VISTA on two different machines.. everything acted the same even Itunes 7.7 and 7.7.1
confirmed, this only works for me, everything else failed with error 6

First time i lost the phone so then i removed the "sim" card and all went perfect, on a side note i see some people are partitioning over the 550mb and i thought i share this from: » Winpwn 2.0 Guide - iPhone News & Review

Step 8: Partition resizer. Here is the partition resizer screen. With the current version fo Winpwn, move this to 550 mb. The extra packages will fill the root partition before Cydia gets to run and move things about. Do not make it any larger though because Cydia moves your apps around properly to the larger partition so if you resize this larger here you are just losing space.

thx for replies...

Install BossTool and relocate your fonts. Also in BossPrefs go to the "more" tab on the top right and "fix user dir permissions." these are a couple things that may help, I know relocating fonts will help.

I have to admit I like reading News here, but man it gets annoying as hell when about 90% of the posts in these threads are all the same. Error this, error that, what is DFU?

I always read up on what to do and never have a problem because it's DONE RIGHT. EDUCATE YOURSELVES BEFORE SCREWING WITH YOUR IPHONE!!

LOL
Haha <3 this post..... Couldnt agree more.... you guys gotta know it doesn't always work on the first try. Just redo the steps and try again. perserverence pays off

Must admit, this was the easiest one to sort out. I've tried pwning before - never worked well for me.

I have Vista and an 8gb iPhone 3g on firmware 2.0.1
I followed BigBoss guide on the winpwn 2.0.0.4. As I am on O2 with iPhone contract, i simply ticked cydia and installer only. Left everything else blank. Built the .ipsw and used itunes. Might help, as on the bigboss site there are two ways of getting into DFU. I used the phone off first method. Worked like a charm, no errors at all.

The only error I encountered was when I tried to reinstall my backup - it didnt work and kept giving me an error.

All runs fine now though.
