I want to jailbreak my iPhone, and I have had it for three weeks now, but if I do use the restore firmware will I have a completely blank iPhone? Like will all my contacts be gone? Apps, ringtones, things like that? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

yes u will get a blank phone after restore. but there is a way around it. before doing a restore sync ur phone with itunes fully and then do a restore. once restore is finished then itunes will give u the option of restoring from the back up or setting the phone as new phone so just restore from back up and you will get all ur staff back.

ps for contact you may want to save them in your simcard.
for your apps you will lose all of it since the new firmware may not support all ur apps.

Hey guys!
it's me again!!!
Thanks God, I solved my problem!
and all a had to do was to download another firmware, I don't know why, but the firmware i downloaded from here, did not work for me...
so what i did was to download it directly from iTunes, and then, it worked just great, in both windows and mac.
so, if somebody is having the same problem as i did, or is getting the damned error (6) wile trying to install the firmware 2.0.1, all u have to do is to make a new .ipsw file, because the one ur trying to use has something wrong, believe me, i know
thanks to evebody who helped me, now i'm proud to saying that i've got a 2g iPhone with firmware 2.0.1 up and running!!

Succesffuly used jailbreak and have changed email, sms sounds with my custom versions. Great software (donation sent!). One question given that the only reason I wanted to jailbreak was to change the sounds can i restore back to the official 2.0.1 and retain the sounds or will then revert to the inbuilt?

Thanks

Pwnage allows you do do this under Gernal. not sure if winpwn has that same option.

thanks so much for this answer. after searching the entire internets for a clue, i accidentally restored my phone from a previous back up AFTER i jailbroke to 2.0.1. i thought this reversed me from a blank 2.0.1 to my previous jailbroken 2.0, but apparently my settings and Itunes say that my firmware is now 2.0.1. i suppose the backup only saves the settings.

to reiterate, jailbreak through winpwn (for pc users), then, at the option to restore as a new phone or revert to a previous backup, choose the latter. if i am incorrect, please feel free to alert and correct me. thanks again for all your help

just leave your phone jailbroken. essentially you are breaking the warranty, but if you don't modify any of the other settings besides the sounds, mac store employees might not catch on. if you happened to change boot logos, then obviously they would know that you are not running officially-released firmware. jailbreaking is reversible, but if you do reverse back to the real firmware, you will lose your custom settings.

My phone is: 2G, 1.1.4 OTB, Jailbreak and Unlock using ZIPHONE. I would like to upgrade to new firmware 2.0.1 using WINPWN. What is the best way to do with already 'ziphone's phone. Can I just simply update to 2.0.1 using latest WINPWN or I need to WINPWN to 1.1.4 and 2.0.0 and than 2.0.1. Is there anything need to do first before upgarde

[cparzianello]

hey cara533 are u from brasil?
i am, it's because of "cara" on your nick, in portuguese it's same as "guy"...
answering your question, i think you can simply update to 2.0.1 as long as tbootneuter, what is what matters is gonna do the same thing in the versions 2.0.0 and 2.0.1
i think it'd be faster and easier.
bye!

i installed winpwn 2.0.0.4 but i can't get to run. do i need any other stuff like .net framework or something of the sort? i follow your simple instructions: plug in iphone; run winpwn. but it won't run. it just gives an error message that it can't run. something like error 0x00015 or something like that.

help!!

2G 1.1.4 iPhone
I am having the same problem, followed all instructions and getting errors when trying to restore through iTunes.

Do I need to bootneuter flash my baseband which is at 4.9?

leave it arround 500mb not less then that. this is the space used by iphone to instal os. if it is set to less then 500mb the restore will not work.
