thanks jackie :-)

[tattoojack]

it was a joke man. you guys take this phone and site WAY too seriously!
if u didnt notice i thanked you on the original post and the one where you thanked me!



for anyone who didnt know already,
per the dev-team (on the front of their blog. right below the download for new pwnage.)

PLEASE NOTE: COPY THE APPLICATION TO YOUR APPLICATIONS FOLDER OR DESKTOP BEFORE RUNNING. RUNNING DIRECTLY FROM THE DISK IMAGE WILL CAUSE ERRONEOUS BEHAVIOR (such as missing bootloader files and other oddities).

We would just like to point out that that there are lots of fake sites using the QuickPwn name, these muppets don’t know anything special, and they don’t have anything unique. They are vultures that sit on the domain names and plagiarize content and information in the hope that you donate to them, or click the google ads.

If you’ve been following the technical aspects of our blog since July, you may have noticed that we’ve asserted multiple times that Apple can’t fix the bug we’ve exploited in PwnageTool unless they fix their hardware.

That hardware fact is still true. But one way they can try to combat Pwnage for existing hardware is to program iTunes to detect and prevent the Pwnage exploit. In fact, they’ve already done that in iTunes 8. The screenshot below from iTunes 8 using a Pwned ipsw (with an unPwned device attached) is one example.

The nice thing about iTunes decisions is that we can provide you with patches to counter them. We have one such patch already for Mac iTunes 8 for iPod touch. We’ll be working out the full suite of patches for all the combinations over the next week. (they included these in the new pwnage)

PWNAGE should NOT be decompressed using the application called “the unarchiver” (this breaks permissions within PwnageTool) just use the standard OS X built in ‘Archive Utility’ to decompress.

hope this helps

Just did mine...worked fine. Used a Macbook Pro that I recently did a archive and reinstall of 10.5 then updated to 10.5.4 + itunes 8 followed by the 10.5.5 update the next day. Was also my first time running pwnage 2.1 on it.

I just did a fresh 3G iphone that has never been pwnd. It worked on the first try once I got into DFU mode through Pwnage.

OSX 10.5.5 + iTunes 8

Interestingly, my own previously pwned 3G iphone wouldn't restore from DFU, I had to be in recovery mode (connect to itunes image) for it to work.

Hi!

I've read all the topic, and i undersand it. But, i got some problem: I got only Vista.

If I understand correctly, tha only difference is the maker of the firmware file. (QuickPwn on Vista)
Could be happen that i upgrade my iphone with a downloaded firmware (make under Mac?)
It yes, could u give me a link for it?
If not, do you have any idea to do this under win?

Thx a lot!

Cheers for TATTOJACK, i was checking up every solution until I found this.

Cheers!!!!!!

What are the real benefits of upgrading??? The listed fixes are so so... Alright, I'm hating. I have been trying to get 10.5.5 working on my Hackintosh and it has proven to be quite the undertaking ;-(

Otherwise, the screen will go blank and will appear you are in DFU mode, but you are really in Restore mode. Once I figured this out, mine installed fine. Kept getting the same error and drove me nuts

I was in the same boat. I followed this exactly and it worked perfectly. Thanks
