Hi there, I have iTunes 9 installed, do i really need to downgrade to 8 firts?

ummm iTunes 9? iTunes 8.0 is the newest... Just checked to verify. Itunes is fast but.... Not that fast... I am sure you have either 8.0 or later. But... if you somehow have iTunes 9.0 YES you need to downgrade and possibly run a antivirus software (lol just a little joke)

--Open itunes
--At the top click on "help"
--Then click on about iTunes--This will show your version #.

If you already downloaded the file you should be ok. Open iTunes and select restore while holding the shift key on your computer. Then locate the file you downloaded. Done...

iphone 3g firmware 2.0.1 jailbreak
trying to get 2.1

i upgrade on itunes than quickpwn it i have 2.1 but 3g is being weird it only show an E but not a 3g. is something wrong here. please help.

I am still having the same problem as before. Here are the steps I took to try and fix it:

1.I uninstalled all forms of the .NET Framework that I had on my computer as well as Quickpwn and then rebooted.

2. I reinstalled .NET Framework 2.0 and Service Pack 1 and then rebooted.

3. I downloaded Quickpwn via the Torrent and then unzipped the file.

4. I opened Quickpwn. The first screen says to connect the iphone, which I did. The next screen showed a picture of an iPhone 3g and after a few secs it finds the correct firmware (2.1 - 5f136) and I get a green "Check" on the picture of the iPhone. The next step is to install Installer, Cydia and Reboot logos (I checked all 3 boxes). Then I get the step-by-step screen. The first step (put phone into recovery mode) works fine. The next step (hold home button for 5 secs) works fine. The next step (hold both power and home button for 10 secs) works fine. This is where I have the problem... when I release the power button the 30 second timer gets to 18-20 secs and moves to the next step. About 2 or 3 secs later an error message pops up saying that the program has encountered a problem and that it will need to shut down. This leaves my phone in Restore Mode and, obviously, not jailbroken.

Any ideas? I am considering reverting back to 2.01 and jailbreaking it with an older version of Quickpwn if this doesn't get figured out soon.

Thanks

Ok r u letting go the home button? Try patting go one the program starts installing. Also try not installing Installer and the logo. It sounds like you are having a memory issue. Nontheless try just installing Cydia. Installer may be the issue with the memory.

[dikkik]

Hi, I plan on upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.1. Wanted to know whether Cydia apps will work on 2.1. What will I loose if i update??

read page 2 of this thread and follow the guide.

try are you letting go of the home button as well?If so,keep it pressed until you see something on the phone(display),THEN release.Hope that works for you.

[z3r01]

ok , so I got that done but now I can't activate it! I'm using an AT&T sim , anybody?

[mooritexxx]

anyone getting the dailler app crashed after a while?

[plegra97]

OK... very weird.

I took your advice and only checked the box for Cydia and the installation worked. But, (and this is where it gets weird) when my phone finally rebooted I was happy to see that both Cydia and Installer had been installed on my iPhone. I have no idea how this happened but I certainly am not going to complain.

I jailbroke this same phone a month or two ago when the first jailbreak for the 3g came out and I had no problem so I am not sure what the deal was this time.

Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions!

Had the same issue with a 8gig going from 1.1 to 2.1

--Put your iPhone in restore mode
--Connect to iTunes 8.0 and restore to 2.1
--Once this completes (15-20min) you should see the emergency screen
--Completely close iTunes
--Launch Quickpwn 2.1
--Follow the steps.

--Once quickpwn completes you will be on 2.1 unlocked and JB... Let me know if you have any other issues.

***Tip take out your SIM card---Not sure why but I did this and it worked. I have been JBing iPhone all day for friends (only 23 more to go..lol Have not had any issues I couldnt fix. If you follow the basic steps you should be fine...

Kuhndsn thank you very much. I tried everything but put the phone in DFU mode. And it worked, after everything you told me I popped my t-mo card and bada bing upper left hand corner an image that made me happy. Thanks

[Giah98]

I had problems with the Winpwn freezing up when I tried it a couples weeks ago and messed with it for hours. This is so much easier! No problems! Thanks!

[BoostedEvoIX]

Just restored to 2.1 and jailbroke with no problems Which apps still work with 2.1 in cydia?

All the Cydia apps that I had prior to updating still work.

[andrunious]

so every time i try i get "Quickpwn has encountered error" and it shuts down after I click install Cydia

now stuck in restore mode...great

[franklinromeo]

Do you have "openssh" installed on your iphone from Cydia? Its a must.

Yea I do. Still nothing....
Sometimes it stalls like it's going to connect but then fails.
A lot of the time it just fails immediately...
You know whats going on?

I'll assume you have all the settings correct in Winscp (thats what your using right?):

Port: 22
User Name: root
Password: alpine (can also try: dottie)
File Protocol: SFTP

If it stalls, or says still waiting hit to cancel.....DONT CANCEL, give it another minute. Also, you HAVE TO BE ON WIFI. If you dont have WIFI that ok though, theres ways around it.....but let me know, cause you gotta install more stuff

arrrrrg, i dont have an online connection on my pc, so i cant restore my iphone :-( i downloaded 2.1 on my iphone and quickpwn, but without an online connection , itunes wont let me (please someone correct me if im wrong!!!)

Yeah, your right. Found that out too, I had already downloaded the firmware file and was away from my desk at lunch, had my laptop and was messing with the phone, went to restore and POW....soooo sorry, no connection means no....

When is the Iphone 3G UNLOCK Comming

Well, I will tell you........wait, no I wont....nobody knows. But I can assure you the Dev-Team is losing sleep over it.

Thanks again Zwayne. But I don't think I will unlock it and jailbreak it till tomorrow since I just read it will take about 30min to do. And I want to read a little bit more on how it went for others since it sounds like a 50/50 thing. I will definitely post how it went when I do though. But for now, it's time to hit the sack. I just can't say thanks enough to people like you and CPJR who actually read other people post and is willing to help noobs like me without having a fit. Goodnight to the both of you and thanks again!

**edit**
lol I just realize the last page was nothing but my post. =]

Glad to see you got it running.

Hey Kuhndsn, how do you put the iphone in restore mode? I've been searching around and been trying what people have posted and still nothing. If you or anyone can post a 'how to', I would really appreciate this.

Have you Unlocked + jailbroke it with 1.1.4 FW?

It's weird but it just started working so thanks.
But I do have one more question.
I have a problem with the installer...It keeps freezing and I have to keep restarting my phone
And a lot of the times the message:

Error
can't find host

keeps showing up
Any ideas on this one>
