Disclaimer - Neither TiPb nor I take any responsibility for any problems/issues/bricking/etc. that may occur while using this software to modify your iPhone. Please be aware of what you are doing.

It was not long ago that we filled you in on the steps to take in order to jailbreak your iPhone 3G on Mac OS X as well as a Windows PC. Well today TiPb is proud to present a step by step guide to not only jailbreak your first generation iPhone 2G but to unlock it while jailbreaking. This is for Windows PC's only.

So if you are against AT&T in the US, or simply need to run your original iPhone on an international carrier like Rogers in Canada or any GSM/EDGE network around the world, then please read on after the jump!

This guide will show you how to jailbreak/unlock the original iPhone 2G only, not the iPhone 3G. Some important notes before we begin: You must have iTunes 8 installed and you must be on firmware 2.2.1, if you are not, be sure to update via iTunes. Also make sure to go into the task manager and disable ANYTHING Apple or iTunes related.

1. Get the tools.

Once you are positive you are running the 2.2.1 on your iPhone and have iTunes 8 installed it’s time to get the tools you will need. Create a folder on your desktop named “Pwnage”, then download the following files into that folder:

Unzip the QuickPwn.zip file inside the Pwnage folder.

2. Launch QuickPwn

Simply click on the pineapple from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop.

3. Connect your iPhone

Connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and click the blue arrow to continue.

4. Locate Firmware

Now we have to click the browse button to locate your iPhone firmware.

5. Selecting the 2.2.1 firmware IPSW

Select the 2.1 firmware IPSW file from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop then select the IPSW file and click the open button.

6. Firmware Verification

QuickPwn will now verify you have selected the correct firmware. After it is verified click the blue arrow to continue.

7. Customize your firmware

This step allows you select what you’d like installed on your iPhone. You have the ability to select Cydia, Installer, replace boot logos, and unlock your device. Once you have made your selections click the blue arrow to continue on. If you want a full jailbreaking experience, installing Cydia and Installer is highly recommended.

8. Bootloader Files

You will now be prompted to select your bootloader files that I instructed you to download a few minutes ago. Click on the Browse button and select the 3.9 bootloader from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop. Repeat this for the 4.6 bootloader file. Then click the blue arrow button to proceed.

9. Verify Connection

QuickPwn will noW verify that your iPhone is still connected to your PC. Again click the blue arrow to carry on forward.

10. Potential Tricky Part - Pay Attention

Ok, this part seems to give some people issues, but I assure you it does work. QuickPwn will now put your iPhone into recovery mode. When its in recovery mode you will be given directions to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.

11. Let the jailingbreaking begin - no going back now!

QuickPwn will detect your phone is in DFU mode and proceed with the jailbreaking process.

12. You are officially jailbroken - Congrats! Now Time to Unlock - Be Patient

Once jailbreaking is complete, QuickPwn will then reboot it and run BootNeuter. Let BootNeuter take over, do not interupt it. This process will take about 5 minutes. Your iPhone will reboot when it has completed and you will have a fully unlocked iPhone!

13. Setting up data connection - T-Mobile ONLY

Go into Settings, General, then Network and enter the following information.

APN: wap.voicestream.com

Username: (leave empty)

Password: (leave empty)

For other Mobile Carriers data settings check out this link.

Well that’s it folks, it’s time to start exploring this whole new world you have just opened. For answers to more of the questions you may have regarding jailbreaking please head on into our forums. There are always members of our community willing to help you out!

    Is there an unlock for AT&T sim cards for a 1rst Gen iphone running 2.1 firmware? I have a jailbroken phone but evertime i put in a different sim it want me to activate thru i tunes and wants me to upgrade my sim to a data plan. I just want to put a sim card in without adding data and use it as an ipod, iphone, text messages, and wifi. Is this possible and If so is there also a tutorial out there?

  2. BOB says:

    HI.. need some help. I had used ZiPhone GUIv2.5 to unlock my i-phone(16GB) but unfortunately i happen to restore with the latest version of i-tunes (ver8) and now I am not able to unlock he phone with the sofware. wonder if anyone can help me on unlocking it..

  3. Solius says:

    If you are sure you are running 2.1 can you just go ahead and skip to step 2?

  4. Hello all, I'm trying to jailbreak/unlock a iphone 2g with 2.1 firmware already on it using QuickPwn using the steps shown above. However; everytime I get to the activation screen where I have to hold home for 5 seconds and then home+power for 10 seconds and home for 30secs I get the following message: Your device has connected in the wrong mode. This can be caused by incorrect following of the instructions, or a faulty USB connection. I've changed USB connections so I know it's not the USB, how do I know what mode I'm in? I've also followed the procedures in comment #10 where iTunes 8 uploads the most recent firmware 2.1 on the iphone; however nothing happens since I already have 2.1. iTune just prompts if I want to activate with AT&T, at that point I just close iTunes as directed in comment #10.

    Also, I can't get out of the "slide for emergency" mode; it's suppose to say "slide to unlock".

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I've been at this for a few days. If more information is needed please ask and I will respond. I have a AT&T SIM card as well.

    Thanks.

  5. brandon says:

    im running 2.2 so i hope this works. 2.2 is a real pain in the arse. also to those that dont know you can unlock or jailbreak to your discression but you need to unlock to make calls and you void your warrenty if you screw up... usually those you can just system restore and begin again.

  6. SHUNN says:

    CAN I PUT MY PAY AS YOU GO AT&T SIM CARD IN THE PHONE WHILE USING JAILBREAK AND IT STILL WORK?

  7. Kuldeep says:

    Thanks a lot ... it was really easy and very fast... it worked for the 2.2 firmware, the new QuickPwn22-1, it was easy for my iphone 2G. Thanks a lot guys..!!!

  8. Rumpl3 says:

    Idiotproof.. worked a treat for me from start to finish. It does wot it says in the tin :D Cheers..

  9. sam says:

    now that i have unlocked my phone, it does say t-mobile but my phone only lets me make emergency call. can anyone hepl me

  10. solius says:

    Worked like a charm. first time around thanks guys :)

  11. swerve121 says:

    this is what i did i used zi phone and used the option to set my phone up for an update. Then after it was done i used the steps from number 1.

  12. swerve121 says:

    whats i mean by the steps from number 1 is the steps from this page.

  13. souwoop says:

    how long does it usually takes?

  14. solius says:

    OK guys to those people who are having problems with their sim cards not working. What I did was have my sim card in the phone when i updated to 2.1. Before you start quickpwn make sure everything itunes related is not running then just run quickpwn and follow steps oh and the part that gave me the most trouble was the step where you have to hold the buttons down. You have to wait till it tells you that your phone is in recovery mode, then start holding the buttons down as it prompts you.

  15. solius says:

    ^^^^^^^ oh and make sure your sim is in the phone throughout the whole process.

  16. souwoop says:

    i've been doing it for hours and nothing have changed? it keeps telling me to put a sim card to activate it

  17. souwoop says:

    it keeps saying my iphone cant be used because of sim activation! help pls!!!!!

  18. souwoop says:

    how long does it usually take for quickpwn to browse for firmware?

  19. souwoop says:

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. rookie says:

    Hello, my phone will only let me make emergency calls. Can I still jailbreak my iphone 2g (firmware 2.1) using quickpwn if it is in this mode? If not, how do I reset it?

    Souwoop, did you get your phone to work? I think we are having the same problem.

    Thanks,

  21. rookie says:

    Hurray, I just got it working!! The trick is to hold the home button for 5 seconds

  22. jonny says:

    i have been trying to unlock the iphone for 24 hours straight. i follow all the directions but it always gets stuck when it takes the phone to recovery mode. it never tells me to go ahead and press home button for 5 seconds or anything like that. i followed comment 10 to a T. i have my sim in there. i must have restored the phone back to factory 20 times already. its driving me crazy. i tried quickpwn and ziphone and everytime the programs take my phone to recover mode everything just sticks. then i go to itunes and restore it myself and start over. argh

  23. souwoop says:

    na my phone still dont work! wen i do step by step process it gets stuck at step at number 5 selecting the firmware.. it just stays on that step and doesnt change! i neeed seriousss help!!!! PLSS!! THANKS!!!

  24. rookie says:

    Hurray, I just got it working!! The trick is to hold the home button for 5 seconds let go of the home button and then select it again while simultaneously holding the power button for 10 seconds, then let go of the power button after 10 seconds but keep holding on to the home button until your phone is jailbroken

  25. t man says:

    do you need a data plan to get the jail break. because i tried to go to installer but it wants to connect to a internet connection, can someone help me. i do not have a data plan. thank you.

  26. william says:

  27. lila says:

  28. Chekakaroto says:

    thank you brother, I was strugling with this iphone you saved me. thank you so much... keep it up.

  29. Gabriellaa says:

    HELP!.. i tried doing this but when it comes to select the firmware, i clicked browse and i clicked what it says i should click but it did not work.. what do you reckon i should do? Oh and also i own the iPhone 2g and on the screen of QuickPwn it says; "The correct IPSW will have a name beginning with iPhone1,12.2 but on your printscreen of QuickPwn it says "iPhone1,12.1" i really don't know what to do.

    Help please, thanks.

  30. jenny says:

    a big big gigantic thank you thank you thank you ....

    i've a 2G iPhone which was on 1.1.3, bought from US and carried to Singapore in Mar08.

    i used Ziphone to unlock, jailbreak and activate to singapore's local mobile svc provider..and that worked well

    just yesterday (29Nov), my itchy fingers "upgraded" the device to OS2.2 thru iTunes8.0.2...as a consequence, my iPhone died on me...i struggled for the entire day and then... windows quickpwn2.2 did the job. i still needed the 3.9 and 4.6 bootloader (at the top of this page)

    it worked and now, my iPhone is able to detect my svc provider (it's called, MobileOne) and after struggling for 24 hours...i finally got it to work...

    what a relief....

    thanks a big big bunch to the dev team.... really appreciate your quickpwn2.2 solution to unlock, jailbreak and activate

    God bless u all !!!!

  31. MH says:

    Hi,

    I still can't use my T-Zones. I had it working on 2.02, but then restores and upgraded to 2.2. I can't upgrade through Cydia (it shows no internet service; logical, since TZone is not installed). How do I get it to work without Cydia?

  32. Hi!

    I'd just like to say thank you so much for your wonderful help. When I found out that my I couldn't use my iPhone because I was on a different network, I was devastated. However, after a week of research, I stumbled across your website and 30 minutes later... here I am!

    Happy with my finally unlocked iPhone!

    THANK YOU! :) :):)

  33. dulannyc says:

    different sim detected, please connect to i tunes,,,, what that means i can not do any thing pls some 1 help me...

  34. RS says:

    Question: I have a 2G iPhone running 2.1 firmware but the phone has not yet been activated. Can I still run this and get it jailbroken/unlocked?

  35. RS says:

    One more thing: will this jailbreak/unlock allow me to run it with t-mobile and still have access to iTunes and the App store?

  36. EV says:

    Awesome - just did it and it finally worked. I think I was having problems with a USB hub and also DFU mode. The key is to count out exactly 10 seconds with the power and home button pressed to get it right + a good USB connection direct to the PC. woo! awesome.

  37. MEA says:

    I think I had most problems listed above before I actually got my phone to unlock and jailbreak. Mostly I had the “Please insert original SIM card” message. My phone was not new and had been used with AT&T service. This is everything I had to do before it finally worked. Use ITunes to restore you phone to the factory default 2.1 firmware before you begin. TIP- find a way to do this without the SIM card installed. I say find a way because I had to try multiple plug in sequences before ITunes stopped giving me the message no SIM card installed. I believe this is the only way to remove the record of the AT&T SIM card. Also ITunes will want to install the latest version of firmware 2.2 don’t let it. If you hold down the ‘SHIFT’ key when you press RESTORE in ITunes the software will let you choose what firmware to install. From here follow the procedure as outlined keeping the SIM card slot empty. Once procedure is complete put in your NON AT&T SIM card.

  38. Tommm says:

    I have a 2nd hand iphone i got off a mate who bought it from the states, 8GB. my problem is the phone was already unlocked and jailbroken, i tried to update it via tunes with ym optus sim in it but now it wont restore the original settings and is just onm the emergency call screen with itunes and a USB in the back ground. so i can't do all the steps above, as it takes me back to the lets set up your iphone page on itunes. i cant set it up cause it always comes up with intunes cannot complete the setup after i agree to the terms and conditions cause im guessing it needs the original sim which i have no idea where that is..

    can somebody please help, i just got all my numbers onto this new phone

  39. Greatful one says:

    Thank You. Many other programs are corrupt or simply don't work. This one does off the bat. Thanks again.

  40. Pete says:

    Went through all the steps; was working perfect. Then i reset settings and files from the settings screen (the one that takes around an hour). Now when I restart it just gets stuck with the apple (pineapple) screen and wont show up in iTunes. Is there anything i can do to fix it or restore it?

  41. mauricio says:

    my Iphone is 1rt gen but it is updated up to 2.2, how can I go back to 2.1

  42. Abdi says:

    my iphone is having issues i had to restore it and now i cant find the firmware or it is just not passing step 6 for some odd reason i need help not smart enough to figure out! Thanks a lot!

  43. qwerty says:

    I torrented all the files from the links provided, but when i try to run quickpwn it says "To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727" what does this mean? does this method only work on vista? i have a 1st generation iphone on 2.1

  44. ajel says:

    I have completed quickpwn and everything seems fine except that I keep getting no service with my new tmoble pay as I go SIM card. My phone is 2G and I just moved to Germany. Does anyone have a suggestion?

  45. Regi says:

  47. TM says:

    I have my phone unlocked and working with my T=Mobile Sim card. Everytime I connect to Itunes, it asks if I want to upgrade to 2.1. I'm currently running 1.1.4. If I upgrade, will it re-lock my phone? Thanks

  48. Johan says:

  49. james says:

  50. Amanda says:

    It is amazing I actually did it!! It worked!!Took me three attempts. I had to restore to 2.2 in i tunes the 2nd time around, until I found out from a comment above that if you hold down the shift key as you click restore it will allow you to pick the firmware and I got back to 2.1.On my third attempt I used the t mobile sim from the beginning and it worked, I didn't have to remove it at any point! Don't give up guys, trust me, I am not good with computers, I amazed my daughter, it was her phone, she was going to pay to get it done! Thanks sooo much everyone, it didn't take too long once I got the hang of it, and I really feel I have accomplished something now! Happy Holidays to you all!!

  51. vk says:

  52. med says:

  53. VicStarr says:

    same problem as everyone else with the emergency calls only problem with tmobile. Follow step 137 and it will fix this

  54. adiochiro3 says:

    This worked well. The key was to make sure I restored the 2.1 software WITH my T-mobile card in and then follow the steps. looks like it's working just fine.

  63. Mark Bergman says:

  64. Yaya says:

    please help! ma brother just got me an iPhone,im with t-mobile so he had to get it unlocked for me. it was working fine then i guess when i connected it to my computer something went wrong. everything got earased and itunes said i had to restore the phone so i did. when i disconnected it, it told me that my SIM card wasent compatable. i took the SIM card out and put it back in and it did the same thing. i tried resetting it but nothing works.

  71. Jered says:

    The firmware verification step, step 6, is not working for me and I'm not sure why. I tried both the 2.1 and 2.2 IPSW and I still don't get the green check mark. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

  72. Joey N says:

    I have an iphone 2g. And I have a (regular) ATT Sim card from my old regular phone. I tried to do all steps here and it didn't work. I tried to downgrade to FW 1.1.4 and used ziphone 1.0 and still didn't worked:

    1. No Service
    2. Wifi seemed to have a very weak signal. It only works if i go VERY near my wireless modem. At 5 feet away, i lost the signal. I tried resetting all on General settings and still wont work.

    My first question is, would my OLD (non-iphone) ATT Sim could actually work on un unlocked/jailbroken iphone? Is somebody out here actually use an OLD ATT Sim?? Secondly, what is wrong with my wifi signal?

    I really appreciate any Help...Thanks Guys!

  73. Ethan says:

    Hi all,

    I will be receiving my new gently used Iphone tomorrow and am excited to jailbreak and unlock it to use with t-mobile. But I am bit confused. I have been researching for the past week on current jail breaking/unlocking procedures, and so far this website is the most thorough and detailed of all of them. But these steps and intructions are on how to to jail break/unlock iphones on 2.1 and other sites are already posting procedures and steps for 2.2 with QuickPwn 2.2

    IE - http://www.techbot.net/2008/12/10/step-by-setp-unlock-jailbreak-iphone-firmware-22/.

    Does this mean that this procedure is outdated or does it mean that the experts on this site do not recommend upgrading to and jail breaking/unlocking for 2.2? I ask because these instructions are dated back in early October 7th and quite a bit has occurred since then. Can anybody, or experts, editors of this site, comment on this? As I about to unlock my iphone tomorrow and want to make sure that I am applying the most current, verified, and recommend method out there. Thanks and have great day!

  74. iPhonePro says:

    Hi Ethan well you can upgrade to 2.2 if you want but i heard that it may cause serious problems because firmware 2.2 upgrades the baseband so some times it becomes incompatible. So what i would suggest u is to go for 2.1 it has quite the same thing as 2.2.

  75. Andrew says:

    Hi, I have read all of the feed back. I have a different problem. Followed all the steps and it worked perfectly as describe, right until the last step on QuickPwn. After following the sequence of buttons an error message comes up in the last second before preparing to jailbreak sayin “Your device has connected in the wrong mode. This can be caused by incorrect following of instructions, or a faulty USB connection. Please try again”.

    I have tried numerous times, and differnet IPOD leads and different USB points, does it need to be an IPHONE lead specifically or are they universal. I have followed the steps 100% so I am thinking connection but has anyone heard of this? The leads work fine recognising the phone in I tunes to restore it???

    thanks

  76. Bart says:

    I am jailbreaking my phone and unlocking it so I can use a T Mobile SIM. At what point during the above process do I put the SIM in?

  77. Ethan says:

    IphonePro, Thanks for the reply. I researched some more on the actual Iphone-dev team blog and found that upgrading your Iphone first gen/2g is fine and breaking it with QuickPwn 2.2 package is fine. This Baseband issue only occurs when you are trying to unlock 3G. I just jailbreaked and unlocked my iphone2g successfully. Everything is working perfectly without a hitch.

  78. Ethan says:

    Bart, it doesn't matter. You can leave it or out at the restore. But I would put it in before you initiate QuickPwn. Also, if you plug in your Iphone and get some kind of message stating that "your sim is not supported", and it won't recognize you iphone in itunes, don't worry. Just hold down the power and home button till you get an error message with a triangle warning starting that your iphone needs to go into DFU or recovery mode. Then select ok on the error, hold down shift and select restore and select the firmware you desire for the procedure. After the restore is done, you will still get this error (sim unsupported) but at least you know for sure what firmware you are on. Go ahead and run the QuickPwn utility and follow the directions on the utility. You should be good to go. Good luck!

    NOTE: Since you are unlocking your phone to tmobile, I will assume you were like me and not need any old data on the phone. Restoring will erase all old data on the phone. btw - I upgraded to ver 2.2 fine with the below link. It's awesome.

  79. Joh Hernandez says:

    how long does it take for the iphone to "connect in recovery mode"

  80. tinaaaaa says:

  81. keith says:

    jack December 16th, 2008 at 4:13 am I downloaded quickpwn now it wont let me open it. it tells me i need to install one of the following versions of the .NET framework: v2.0.50727 it also says to contact my application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of th .NET framework. any way can i get some help in laymans terms. I’m really lost.

    # Usman jack you can download the latest ver of .NET framework from the link below. http://www.filehippo.com/downloaddotnetframework_3/

    after installation reboot your windows and when you run quick pwn right click it and click on “Run as Admin” everything will go fine.

    Woo Hoo! It worked! The first time, I did it, it did not work - I saw the "Different SIM Detected" screen. Then I followed Comment No 10 and it all went fine!

  85. Robert says:

    I was frustrated trying to unlock my iPhone with QuickPwn until I tried it without the SIM card in the phone and QuickPwn worked perfectly. That is the exact opposite of what Comment 10 says to do as the first step.

    It worked like a charm... the tricky part was to get the right iphone firmware installed... if you do restore on itunes it loads with the latest 2.2 version but for 2.1 I had to download the firmware from another site http://iphone.unlock.no/#restore-firmware-files then did the shift+restore and gave me the option to choose the firmware. After that i followed the procedure as written... the process went very smoothly... Thanks Guys, you rock!!!

    I just bought an iPhone 2g currently running on version 2.2 and is NOT Unlocked or Jailbroken... I am a current AT&T customer usding a Palm Treo... When I enter my simcard it only lets me make Emergency calls... Any help?????? I also have Windows XP... I dont see why I would need to Unlock/Jailbreak since I am already a AT&T user, but if any1 can help it would be greatful.....
