Firmware 2.2 JAILBROKEN

[RByers]

Just to let all of us Window users know....After 2 days of a headaches and getting nowhere except a bunch of restores..for whatever reason, QuickPwn will not work for 2.2 on Windows Vista...atleast for me and I've seen a couple post with this problem. I finally got out my laptop with good old XP and worked like a charm! QuickPwn works with 2.1 > firmware on Vista but with 2.2 it puts the phone into recovery mode and gets stuck as if QuickPwn doesn't realize the phone has reconnected in recovery mode. Maybe an update will fix but I am running Windows Vista Premium SP1 and came up with this conclusion..hope I prevent a headace or two or even a breakup with your g/f lol

Sorry for sounding like a noob but how would i upgrade my iPhone 3g jailbroken 2.1 to jailbroken 2.2 using quickpwn? I see the guide using pwnage tools but that is only for macs. if you guys could point me to a quickpwn guide i would greatly appreciate it.

here's my story:

i was currently running 2G iPhone 2.0.2 jailbroken. PC user.

here are the steps i took towards jailbreak 2.2

1. Download Quickpwn
2. download new 2.2 iphone firmware
3. update itunes to the latest
4. sync/backup iphone
5. updated iPhone firmware through itunes using "Shift-Restore".
6. After 5-8 minutes, phone was 2.2 jailed.
7. i restored my jailed iphone from previously backup.
8. opened up quickpwn, plug in usb
9. and follow quickpwn's instructions
10. after 15 minutes, i had a beautiful 2G 2.2 jailbroken iphone.

i had a couple of hacked apps on 2.0.2 but i don't think they work on 2.2 because i get an error everytime i tried to install one.

i like the safari browser and google street view is awesome.

one thing i noticed is when i installed a winterboard theme, the top part of the screen is not visible in apps like NOTES and AppStore. when i uninstall it, it's visible again.

I know this was only to have a Jailbroken 2.2, but does it maintain the unlock?
I'm still on 2.1, unlocked, JB'd, on 1st gen iPhone, using T-Mobile.

Help! I'm trying to update using pwnage tool and it won't let me start building an ipsw because it can't find the bootloaders. I've downloaded them but pwnage tool says it's the wrong file....anyone have any ideas?

[jabij1]

ok so i had a 2.0.1 jailbrken iphone 3g (using winpwn) and now i decided to upgrade to 2.2....so i used a macbook (the new 2008 version if that matters) and the pwnage tool to create my custom ipsw and went through the whole process following the guide step by step.....once i created the custom ipsw n the mac i went to my pc where my backup of my iphone was created and restored using the custom ipsw through itunes on the pc...after backing up and everything i checked my phone and i have 2.2 but it says at the top no service and i cant make any calls...(i bought my iphone from rogers and i use a rogers sim card and everything was working fine before doing this whole upgrade to 2.2)i would really appreciate if anyone knows a fix for this and can help, also how can i know that my baseband is intact and did not upgrade? thanks

If quickpawn gets stuck on the jalibreaking screen after putting your phone in recovery mode then the easy way to get the phone out of the recovery mode without restoring it is to run the old quickpawn 2.1 and follow the instruction. basically holddown the home and power button for 15sec and then the power button for 2 sec and that is it.

PS. i am still unable to jailbreak my phone with qucikpawn 2.2. it becomes unresponsive once the phone is in recovery mode.



Finally got it. i used windows xp for winpawn and it worked like charm. so the bottom line is that vista doesnt really work with winpawn 2.2

amazing as always!! thanks!! =)

Pwnd this afternoon and was retardedly easy!!! Thanks Dev Team wherever you are lol!

[tatato]

Sweeeet!!!
You guys rock big time!!
I was surprised that updating with iTunes kept the iPhone up and running (I'm on T-mobile) and QuickPwn did the rest.
Sooo smooooth.
I'm hoping for the 3G unlock soon (I bought my new 3G three months ago and I've kept it in the box since).
Thank you guys for the hard work.
Keep it up!!

My 'Locked' iPhone 3G is being used with a chip installed under the sim (turbo sim, they call it) and came jail broken with firmware v2.1.

Will the imminent 'soft unlock' get rid of the 'turbo sim'??

If not, how do I get rid of it?

Also, if I want to upgrade to 2.2 keeping the basband preserved, do I use the pwnage tool with the turbo sim inserted or without it?

Thanks a lot!

****!!!
i only went updated my jailbroken in itune yesterday didnt i!!!
now that sucks big time.
so in short i can get 2.2 jailbreak on my 3G, but no network/phone??? so its gonna be like a ipod touch?

Thanks for posting this problem. Well i donnno wht actually happened. I think now its upgraded to 2.2 through itunes accidently. Even after jailbreaking with Quickpwn2.2 still i cannot get any signal No network.
I tried to downgrade the baseband through
ZiPhone_patched_by_kIREmK_04.05.04_G
but it failed. It detects Iphone and then when it says entering in DFU mode nothing happens and Connect to itunes icon appears on IPhone.
I feel helpless now and noting seems to be working.
Is there anyway i can bring my IPhone 3G back to life.
Is there any solution upcoming by iphone dev team for such issues.

I've been Jailbreaking and jailbreaking my iPhone 3G to version 2.2 but no matter how I do it, I still can't get Cydia to launch. It was fine when I jailbroke with V2.1. What gives?
Thanx.

[foxton]

I am using Windows XP on my PC, so does this mean I can't update to the latest 2.2 firmware ?
