Hi all wonderful people from the modmyi community.

I have 1.1.1 iPhone 2G and I want to upgrade it to 2.1. I've just downloaded QuickPwn for 2.1. And I wonder what the steps of the procedure. I guess these are the steps, if you have any corrections, please mend my error:

1. Download 1.2 firmware from apple.
(1.5 Should I upgrade to iTunes 8 or can I do this with iTunes 7.7? (which I have))
2. Go to iTunes and upgrade (with Shift+Restore) to that firmware.
(2.5 ? Should I put my phone in DFU or Restore mode for the iTunes upgrade? ?)
3. I get a virginized iPhone (no errors?).
4. Turn on my iPhone.
5. Launch QuickPwn for 2.1 and let it do its' work.
(5.5 How do I unlock my phone? Is it with that BootNeuter? If so, can I instruct QuickPwn to automatically install that and/or unlock my phone, without having to go to Cydia and download that? (coz I don't have WiFi here))
6. And I get a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone!

Please help a noob on this one

Thank you very much,

upgrade to itune8,
-do firmware upgrade version by version
1.11->1.12-> so n so forth

till v2.1 do quickpwn.

n u r done. this at least is what i did from 2.01 to 2.02 to 2.1

So, I really have to upgrade to every firmware version in a row so that I can jailbreak and unlock 2.1?

No, just let itunes do the upgrade. You don't have to deal with it until 2.1 is finished and you are ready to jb it.

[muaddib]

I see. So let me get this straight.
I go to iTunes, click the Upgrade (not restore) button and then wait until iTunes upgraded my iPhone to 1.2. And then I jb + unlock with QuickPwn?

Won't there be any problems with iTunes version 8, or the fact that I upgrade directly from 1.1.1 (which is unlocked and jailbroken) to 1.2?

Thank you very much for your replies

[muaddib]

So...?

[Nefarious]

There will not be any problems. Just let itunes update to 2.1 then jailbreak it. No issues at all.

[muaddib]

Thank you very much. I just hope you're not an apple spy

One quick question, though: which BL should I use? 3.9 or 4.6? What's the difference?

[Nefarious]

If you are a AT&T customer, don't mess with the BL. Keep it default.

[muaddib]

No, I am not on AT&T (and most probably, will never be). I just don't know what's the default BL for my phone (2G on 2.1). That's why I am asking.

[KnottyBoyJ]

i also have a question.

in itunes, do you click "restore" or "update"

and should i have my sim in or out of the phone during this whole process?

thanks in advance everyone who helps everyone out!

the easy way:

things you need:
a. BL 3.9 and 4.6
b. official fw 2.1
c.quickpwn
d.itunes version 8

do this:

1.update itunes to ver 8
2.update iphone to fw 2.1
3.run quickpwn select activate iphone, select Cydia and Installer
4.wait till it finished and rebooted
5. dance

your done

[muaddib]

THANK YOU MY MAN! You've saved countless hours of asking and frustration

[kredo]

Don't mean to hijack or whatever but since I already have AT&T this is all I need to install. Itunes v8, quickpwn, and update to 2.1 version? I don't need BL? (Is that bootloader?)

In these steps.
1. install to itunes v8
2. update to 2.1 on iphone
3. run quickpwn
And....thats it?



Thanks for this helpful thread!!!
