With the iphone software soon to be upscaled to v2.1 will a phone pwned in 2.0 be able to be upscaled through iTunes or do I have to restore the phone and re-pwn it?
thanks

Error 6 means that you're not using the right firmware. You're probably using the hacked version that was released before the official version came out. Download the official version, and try again.

How did you get it work?

jailbreaked my 16gb iphone 3g using pwnage tool 2.0.1 ,this tutorial is so precised and easy to use . only problem i had was error 6 which i believe means i wasn't in dfu mode ,so i went back to pawnage reattempt to go into dfu mode until i get it right ,it should tell you that your in dfu mode once you've done it correctly ,and then reconnect to itunes to restore your firmware with custom restore firmware. everything works great! no lags unlike my 1st gen iphone .

Everything is working perfectly until I go to Restore my iPhone. It's gets about 95% done and just hangs. It never finishes the restore and my only option is to repeat the firmware update again & repeat. But I've tried it 3x and each time it hangs right at the end of my restore. Any suggestions for solving this would be greatly appreciated. iTunes 7.7.1 & iPhone 3G 2.0 - Thanx!

Hi I have successfully enter to DFU mode but then itunes starts up automatically and pops up this message:
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An uknown error occured (1601)."

So, I replug the cable and reopen itunes, nothing happen.
I have to hold the power and home button together again for 10 secs to turn on my iPhone. iTunes detected my iPhone, I didn't get the recovery mode dialog message.

But I tried to restore it anyway using the custom firmware created from the pwnage and I got this message:
"The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6)."

Restart itunes. I finally got the recovery mode dialog box. Restoring from the custom firmware created from the pwnage again. Got the same error (6) message above.

No luck, so I restored it from apple original firmware.
Anyone having the same problem?

Hi
I downloaded the latest WinPwn today along with firmware iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore. I created a custom IPSW and put the iPHone 3G into DFU mode. I also get error 6. Why is this?

Thanks

After creating my custom IPSW and restoring the iPhone 3G from DFU mode my iphone no longer has any service, and is unable to connect to WiFi. Anyone have this problem? or know why this might have happened? I tried it 3 times. Finally just restored to the standard 2.0.1 and have no issues. Just really want to be pwnaned!

I have:

Intel Mac with 10.5
pwnage 2.0.2
iPhone 3G 2.0.1

Thanks in advance for the help!

[japaternoster]

it might be worth removing your phone number from the screen shot (unless it is a fake number)...

Thanks for the guide though

[rob@heavywater]

i am having the same problem "error (6)" and i know it is recovery mode. and another time i also got "An uknown error occured (1601)" so i just did restore and update and it works as normal again...so maybe i will try later today and see if there are any fixes for this issue.

running:
Pwanage 2.1
os x 10.5.4
itunes 8
macbook pro duo 2.4

I've had the same problem before. To fix it, just rebuild the custom .ipsw package and uncheck "activate" in the "general" step of Pwnage Tool.

[syedasim786]

After the PwnageTool finds the iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136 file when I click next a small red window appears with the message :

No Bootloader v3.9 file found! Would you like to search the web for this file?

However I have bootloader 3.9 and 4.6 when I jailbroke my iphone to firmware 2.0. Is anyone having the same problem?

[ricm68]

I'm having problems also !!! In the guide it says not to put it in dfu mode but to put it in recovery mode. Also I never get the question "Do you have an iphone 3G contract that would activate normally through itunes?"
So what is it? Do we put it in DFU mode or not???
I need help !!!

[Lprox5]

I thought when this pwnagetool 2.1 came out so quick it seemed to good to be true. I think that they didn't work everything because I am getting the error message when I am in DFU restore mode and it won't allow me to restore to the custom firmware. We will just have to wait and see.

---Edit---

I also am not asked the first two questions that are stated in the guide.

[wPz]

Those questions only appear when u chose simple mode



i got error 9
