Just don't go into DFU mode

[popmanbx]

I thought the error 1600 code meant you were not properly in DFU mode. The Itunes 8.0 shouldn't give you a 1600 error, it might just not take DFU mode. Try without being in DFU. Option restore from the regular screen.

I thought you get that error when you not going to DFU mode, but instead "the other mode" which I cannot remember the name of :-)

The only way we all learn is just to jump in and do it We can wait and see what happens to others, but if we do that, we have nothing to offer as far as information - we are only bystanders! I choose to jump in and see what happens - I can always restore if I need to. (Which I have done about 50 times!) I enjoy SSH'ing and playing, but, then, again. I am comfortable with computers and you shouldn't be JB'ing your iPhone if you are not.

You must be thinking of the restore mode which is different from DFU. That is when you are simply powered off and iTunes finds the phone. Not any different than just restoring from hooking up live. I have never restored from DFU - only pwned.

Yea same thing here. I knew better then to update itunes so soon but a friend of mine didn't. I spent several hours last night trying to down grade his itunes to 7.7.1 to try and jailbreak with no luck. Also tried with other restore modes with no luck. I didn't know however that quickpwn doesn't use itunes to install the custom firmware so that is good news. I will be trying that as the solution. No doubt however that this itunes 8 jailbreak circumvent will be squashed soon.

Just use quickpwn! quit itunes and maybe even your ituneshelper.app in the activity monitor or in task manager. If its because of wanting to use custom boot logos using pwnage tool just replace them in the quickpwn application data. If you dont already know... quickpwn doesnt go through itunes to get the firmware to your iPhone, therefore, bypassing the itunes 8 errors. I'm on a mac with itunes 8 and got the 1600 and 6 errors both in dfu mode and not.

on a mac- go to the quickpwn app, ctrl+click and click show package contents/ content/recources and drop your custom boot logo (logo.png) and/or (recovery.png) in the folder replacing the others. run the app just like normal and it will use the logos you replaced in there anyways. no need to go through itunes for right now!

I'm not on a pc so i cant tell you the content path for quickpwn's logos in there but i''m sure there are 6482674 people on here that can for me.... hope this helps guys!

everything when smooth...

Once that goes through, you should be good to go.

I know this works, because I just spent an hour doing it on a PC.

Since I haven't tried this on my Mac yet, this is the located files to delete on the PC.

C/Program Files/Apple Software Update
C/Program Files/Common Files/Apple

Also, you need to uninstall QuickTime. Once you uninstall both applications, delete the aformentioned locations, and then do a FULL re-install of 7.7.1 you should be good to go on a PC.

don't forget to delete the itunes folder in my music since it will say the music library is from a newer version of itunes.

and then c:/documents and settings/all users/application data/apple
and c:/documents and settings/"your user name"/application data/apple

if you dont see the last two folders, turn on hidden files and system files in folder options.

correct and incorrect.
restore mode is NOT when you just turn the phone off and itunes recognizes it. itunes will not recognize it unless it is on, in recovery mode (power on, hold power and home until reboot and then release power while holding home. you will see the connect to itunes logo), or in DFU mode (power on, hold both for 10 seconds, release power, hold home for 10 seconds. phone will appear to be OFF but itunes will recognize it.)

If you're already pwned everything continues to work, but if you take a stock iphone and DFU restore to a custom built firmware you will run into problems.

DFU restored? With stock or custom firmware?

[mbaharvard]

Trying now with my backup iPhone restoring to stock 2.0.2 and then I'll try the pwned 2.0.2........
OK I get the emergency only after restore to stock 2.0.2 - now applying the pwned 2.0.2...
YES - I had to go into DFU mode to do the restore after a stock update....still applying the pwned 2.0.2...I have the 1600 error, trying something else...

Restarted the phone (I like that stock apple startup screen but prefer the pwned one!)

After restoring to stock and quickpwning, it worked with 8.0, but as far as I can tell 8.0 iTunes will not restore with a pwned firmware. Use quickpwn and rebuild

Once again - Quickpwn works! You CANNOT restore on 8.0 with pwned firware!

Syncing now with an 8.0 iTunes Quickpwned phone and all is working. It is not possible to restore with a pwned firmware and iTunes 8.0. After going to stock 2.0.2 and quickpwning it Will work (syncing, etc - not restoring with a pwned firmware).

I got the same error message just yesterday with the newest itunes, but i still pwned it on 2.0.2 with winpwn 2.5 beta.

winpwn even crashed at the end of creating the custom firmware....

I just installed apples original 2.0.2 firmware, and after that the custom one.

It works perfect. Now my iphone is on 2.0.2 unlocked, jailbroken and free as a bird.

BTW. im from croatia and im usin t-mobiles network, so i dont got the chance to throw in at and t s sim card if i fail to unlock.

Failure is not an option for me ;-)

Me either - do you mean you were able to restore on iTunes 8.0 with a pwned firmware or did you quickpwn? With quickpwn you MUST follow ALL of the steps precisely or it won't work. Thankfully, it is quite a forgiving program - great job Dev Team and CMW!

[PStuLovesCrackk]

Why the **** does apple have to be dicks about everything?! as soon as 2.1 comes out its gunna screw everything up with jailbreak and then once we rebuild we are gunna have to find another legit way to load the pwned firmware with itunes 8.0! i wont even use genesis playlist and the a coverflow library (which i have maybe 10 album arts total out of my 20gb library). i mean are we really going to benefit from great for update or was it just a cover to FUCKK everyone up! im sorry but i can live without turn by turn directions and copy/paste for awhile. FUCKK YOU APPLE! GET LIFES!

[JK1234]

Had the same exact problem dont know why apple is being faggotish but anyways i just upgraded and quickpwned just no huge selection of boot logos or partition size I guess
