My phone is also having a hard time going into DFU mode. I also tried the iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu method to no avail; the command prompt just closes. Wondering if anyone else is having trouble, and/or found a solution?

Start up QuickPWN.exe, go through the initial intorduction and select your OFFICIAL 2.0.1 firmware you downloaded earlier.


is is 2.0.1 or 2.1

Hi, I followed these steps and it worked apart 4rm the fact I get No Service. I have been searching and trying loads of methods but nothing seems to work. I'm trying to use my Orange contract on it but why don't it work? iTunes recognises the number as it does on the phone and recognises the carrier (02 at the moment) but I still get No Service. Can you help please?

2.1 version
Modem Firmware- 04.05.04_G

how do you use these firmware bundles downloaded from that, official 2.0.1 firmware link
i just have a folder on my desktop

thanks

[second2none]

I was getting the "Unknown error (6)" message while trying to restore,
I found out that it was simply becasue I needed to restart my PC after updating Itunes

Everything worked fine after that ;-)

[decatur54]

i downloaded the 2.0.1 firmware. pwnage didnt recognize the ipsw and told me that i had selected the wrong ipsw bundle.

now quickpwn doesn't recognize when i plug in my itouch.

probably stupid mistake,

please help,

thanks

Almost everything worked
Except!

After doing everything you said I restored my phone to my old back up so I could have my contacts, photos etc.

And then my phone restarted on itself and is stuck on the apple logo
It's frozen on the boot-up image with the loading circle graphic

Any suggestions on what I could do? Should I try the whole thing again? Damn, it takes so long lol

[mmartinez]

Thank you for the post, I have a small question, I am on 2.1, do I have to go back to 2.01 for this method to work?

I hope I can help people with that one here:

I got sometimes several Error Messages, but I solved it that way:

- upgrade official on iTunes to the newest version
- use QuickPwn
an afterwards upgrade with a custom firmware you did with Pwnage Tool
and you won't get any error messages, everything is working fine!

If questions, feel free to contact me!
Good luck!
