Hello everyone,

I have jailbroken my iphone 3g with the 2.2.1 version.

I tried to upgrade the version to 3.0 doing it directly with itunes.

And the iphone crashed, it is completely blocked. The only thing I see on my iphone screen is a comic image of a guy with his arms up, saying something in russian.

I have tried to restore the iphone, but it does not work, itunes says that there is an error called '2006'

I hope you can help me, I am really desperate!

Thx!

when att released the iphone 3g i was able to get one under two year contract, (it was actually in the mid of my contract when i had it) and the att guys advised me to include the $30/month unlimited internet to my package, and so it was. then i renewed my contract to att again for another two years using LGvu phone with a basic plan,(no $30 unli internet) now i wanted to use my iphone but the att says i CANNOT use my iphone NOT unless i have to add the $30 unlimited internet to my package again, otherwise i'll be charged everytime i have a voicemail for instance. i'm tryin' to cut down my costs that's why i got rid of the $30 unlimited internet on my second contract. i was able to jailbroke and unlocked my iphone but still it's just a fancy cellphone to me. can anybody throw me some suggestions? thnx

To all you wankers whinging that your phone is now fucked, it's your own fault for wanting something we aren't meant to have! After reading a lot of posts, some good some bad, I'm going to wait the 6 months for the software updates that apple r meant to be bringing out which should include mms and a specalised bluetooth for images. If you want all the fancy crap get a crapberry. Stop fukn with the system. And as for phone warranty, if you have cover and jailbreak your phone you void any of apple's warranties and the insuranfr you get from your service providers! Yeh I work for a phone company.

Hey I got through all the steps fine and i restored my iphone with the ipsw that was needed and i though i had a jailbroken iphone. but when i turned the iphone on after that it was normal. nothing happened. Is it possible that i clicked the wrong ipsw when i went into recovery mood? Is there even a wrong ipsw to click?

Oh one more thing! When the prompt saying that I'm in DFU mode pop-ed up iTunes started but couldn't recognize my phone! So I had to unplug, reset the phone (i.e. push Home and Power button for 10 seconds), once the phone turned back on, then I reconnected and then it was recognized. I "restored" old phone, but 1/2 of my pix were gone, so back things up! My contacts also didn't sync. So I had to re-sync from Entourage with Address Book then iTunes!

Anyway~ I imagine I'll be having loads of fun (on my next project) downloading pirated apps from now on! heehee~

Viv — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:38:42 +0000

OMG this was pretty easy! I have AT&T but no data plan, so my friend unlocked my precious when I first got it and I've been stuck with version 1.1.3 for the longest time!!! I'm so happy to be able to use the new apps!! (^o^)/ I used iTunes 8.1 + my 2G phone to do this~

The only problems I had were 1) the pwnage tool didn't recognize my firmware download, so I looked up the Windows version guide and downloaded that one and problem solved! 2) The tool asked me for a bootloader v4.6 file, I had no idea what that was, thankfully there was a link when the prompt came up. But the first link provided in google is v3.9. So it's easier just to google for the 4.6 version. 3) The iPhone needs to be connected when you're running the program! =P LOL

A big thank you to the genius(es) that made this!

I've followed these instructions a dozen times very carefully, but with the newest version of itunes (8.1.1) I get this error:

an ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again. an unknown error occurred (2001).

this happens after entering DFU mode correctly and quitting pwn tool, and launching itunes in order to set the custom restore firmware.

i will try with an earlier version of itunes, i guess. anyone email me if you have suggestions at hundertwasser@yahoo.com

i have the 2.2.1. hoe do i downgrade to the 2.2 software and why will the iphone not jailbreak with 2.2.1???? i am a newb at this kind of stuff so please dont kill me with names haha

By: jose jones

jose jones — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:56:17 +0000

Ok. I am pretty sure that I am doing this properly -- I have a 3G running OS 2.2.1, that I am trying to jailbreak on a Imac running 10.5.6, that has iTunes 8.1.

I get through steps 1 through 8 fine -- custom .ipsw file is created, and PwnageTool tells me that I am in DFU mode. And all seems fine. I quit PwnageTool, as instructed, and open iTunes, which tells me that it has to check the iPod update server, or something similar. If I 'cancel' at this point, then nothing happens. If I 'check' then sometimes I can get to the point where iTunes tells me that it has found a phone in recovery mode. If I then press alt-option and recovery, select the customised firmware, it is then coming up with an unknown error, 21.

If I then quit Itunes, and try again, I can restore the original firmware file, and every thing is working, just not jailbroken. That suggests to me that the customised firmware file is not being allowed to run or is being corrupted in the process of customisation.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Hey, ive had the iPod touch since it came out to yrs ago, i hacked it from day one but now that i got an iPhone i am curious about hacking it... but the answer i need is very simple, when you sync your phone, iTunes makes an backup copy, as in when you restore your phoen you can start from fresh or from previous "phone", in the backup, does EVERYTHING backup? Sms, phone recents, cellular interent use etc? i know sync info is ok (music, pictures, contacts), and notes, + but i have 2000sms i dont wont to loose.. so dont want to jam it all up;-) plesae answer asap:)

Hi Guys, I have spent the last 30 or so hours trying to jailbreak my iPhone 3G. I have had success before, but I can't restore with a custom firmware, if I don't get error 21 (unknown) I get error 1600 (unknown). And if I enter DFU mode using Pwnage Tool, iTunes gives me error 2001 (the iPod cannot be identified). I have followed multiple directions and learned that 10.5.6 breaks the jailbreak (no, I'm not on a new MBP), and I have followed the solution out of it on multiple websites, including the Dev Team. I am almost sure that the custom firmware I have made is fine, it's just that iTunes won't accept it. Also, my phone use to be jail-broken but I accidently restored it with the wrong firmware...now i'm screwed. Please help...

I successfully jailbroke a brand new, unjailbroken iPhone 3G (2.2.1) using a late 2008, aluminum MacBook. One small wrinkle was that the iPhone sat with a white apple on the screen for 18 minutes before finally starting. Now it's jailbroken and perfect.

Post 103 and 105. I read on the Pwntool site that if you unhack your phone or restore it from a unhacked image and then upgrade to the Apple firmware 2.2 then you should be able to Jailbreak 2.2 from there. Just make sure you are doing the 2.2 upgrade and not the 2.2.1 upgrade. Jailbreak will not work on the 2.2.1

To #105's problem. I just got out the same nightmare. Tried to update to 2.2 from 2.1 on a pwned first gen iPhone. Tried everything, many times, 'till 3:00 am, nothing worked, the phone was bricked. I was stuck with the USB to Itunes logo and every attempt to restore was met with error codes 6. 21. and so on. Went to bed for a short one, the phone attached to the USB cord, and by morning, oh miracle! the phone was back to sort of life. Ready for emergencies only meaning back to factory default. From there I was able to go back to 2.1 directing pwnage tool 2.2 to a downloaded iPhone1,12.15F136CustomRestore.ipw. Not sure what happened there but I am back from iPhone hell.

I just wanted to comment for those who are having problems with iTunes not recognizing their iPhones (i.e. if you get the 2001 error).

There is indeed a problem with 10.5.6 where iTunes / OS X will not read your iPhone if it is in DFU mode. There are three ways to circumvent this method:

1) Use a USB Hub (this worked for me) 2) Replace some kernel files (see link here: http://www.modmyi.com/forums/iphone-news/441031-updated-10-5-6-breaks-dfu-mode.html) 3) Downgrade your OS to 10.5.5 (I don't know how to do this or if it's even possible).

Using the USB Hub was the easiest and worked for me.

Best of luck!

FYI: I was upgrading a jailbroken, unlocked iPhone 2G with 1.1.4 to 2.2

SOFTBANK 3G IPHONE 2.2 FIRMWARE AND QUICKPWN/JAIL BREAK

So i have the iphone. I want to customize it like alot of people cause the capabilities of the iphone,other than what apple will restrict us to are quite alot.

jailbreak/quickpawn---yellowsnow...what are these weird names???

basically jailbreak/quickpwn tool will install some software on ur iphone (called CYDIA) and flash ur phones chips (rewrite the iphone code) so u can use CYDIA software to change,install and customise ur iphone...

YELLOW SNOW is a code that u install into the CYDIA software that allows these clever little hackers to find a loophole in the 3G basebank (just think signal) so u can connect to other service providers....this is called "UNLOCKING" ur phone.

YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE QUICKPAWN TOOL 2.2 TO "JAILBREAK" UR PHONE BEFORE YOU CAN "UNLOCK" IT..

I jail broke my SOFTBANK JAPAN 3G IPHONE BUT HAVE FOUND THAT IT WONT SYNC WITH ITUNES (iphone requires sim pin blah blah blah to activate. SOFTBANK IPHONE NO SIM PIN MATE) AND THAT THE SIGNAL DROPS OUT.(no network coverage)

why>>>>>>

Kevin, I experienced the same problem. Uninstalling Kate, Mobile Enhancer, and RIP Dev preferences solved the problem for me. Found this suggestion after some googlin'. Hope this helps for you too.

token34, to answer your question in short... yes. i had 2.2jb but i installed kate and then my phone screwed up. my service is nothing compared to what it was jb. i had 3g almost everywhere. now im almost always on edge. 3 best things about jb is backgrounder, pdanet, customize, and better service (so i think)... thats for but the last is an opinion.

so i got a question. im using a 2008 black macbook (not the new new macbook) and i had 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 all jb. now 2.2 screwed up and it wont go into dfu mode. am i doing something wrong? i do it just like the youtube vids and this pwngtool says. any help or advice will prolly help. thanks.

pwnage keeps saying "sry i has fail" does anyone else get that. also when check the logs the fail part was something about updating ram disk.

PS: does any one know where i can just download the custom firmware??

Everything went great and was working awesome until I turned the phone off. When it came back on all of the icons were in different spots and when I go to the phone icon, I am not able to dial or use any of the icon on the bottom of the dial pad. I can call from the contact list but unable to end a call or see the menu that comes up when on a call, I can receive calls but not able to end Not able to get voice mails either. I am able to access the internet through wi-fi and the 3G network. At the top of the screen it says to touch to return to call but when I touch it nothing happens. Please help.

Hi, I followed the instructions for the 3g iphone. I couldn’t put it into DFU mode, and then it had that “do you want to try again” screen, then itunes launched, and the phone went into recovery mode. I recovered my phone and reinstalled my apps. But I’d like to jailbreak it. Help please! 2 things: 1) A few months ago, I had previously done the jailbreak for FW2.1 and returned my iphone to its original state–ie no more jailbreak. Then I upgraded to FW2.2 w/ no problems. 2) I’m using a powerbook OS X 10.4.11

Someone thought they were doing me a favour and so updated my itunes to 2.2. The iPhone was unlocked before the update and running fine with a non AT&T sim and the Gevey 3G chip. Now it doesn't work. What can be done other than using the phone as a very expensive iTouch?
