How to: Jailbreak iPhone 3G 2.2.1 - Windows PC QuickPWN Edition

Enormously educational thanks, I do believe your visitors will likely want further blog posts like this maintain the excellent effort.

If I jailbreak my iPhone 4 not the iPhone 4S just the 4 will these directions work? And will I lose my text messages ?!

Thank you, I've just been looking for info approximately this subject for a while and yours is the best I've discovered till now. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you certain about the supply?|What i do not realize is actually how you're no longer actually much more neatly-preferred than you may be now. You're so intelligent.

Jesus ! Thanks for the tip. I don't know why your post isn't linked on every site in this world !!! MANY THANKS !

I am pretty sure I can enjoy some of these berries every day with out too much discomfort! Better than a spoon full of castor oil like our parents had to endure...GartenGrl

Damn those Energy Sucks! I love how you said you don't give them power and you don't buy into what they're saying. You look at them, and then you put them out of your mind (unless you get defensive, of course, and then you might think about it later). I'm lucky in that I purposefully don't keep people like that in my life, but I know it's unavoidable to come certain across random people who just like to bring others down.

You should be a part of a contest for one of the greatest websites on the web. I'm going to highly recommend this site!

QUICKPWN DOESNT RUN :(

it won't allow me to run Quickpwn it says "quickpwn has stopped working" ??

Thank you for this article, i really appreciate it.

Hey, you used to write magnificent, but the last few posts have been kinda boring¡K I miss your tremendous writings. Past few posts are just a bit out of track! come on!

You actually covered several engaging things here. I found it by using Msn and I have to admit that I am now subscribed for your blog site, it is extremely great ;)

i have an iphone, its 3Gs 4.1 i accidentally upgraded the in itune. pls help me un lock it. thank you so much and hopping for you kind support

With all do respect, this doesn't work. I mean look at how many problems and questions people have. Thanks but I think I'll go somewhere else.

wow thanks for the information.

I would like to say thanks for putting up this blog. I just got in to this will give me a kickstart.

i cant get the windows quickPWN to open from this site. when i click on it my computer tells me that there is an error on the page and to dignose it (tried doing that and nothing) then i tried to download it from another site and it downloads but it wont open! what am i doing wrong?

I've been searching all over for a way to unlock or jailbreak my iPhone. I just tried this cool software called http://softunlock.com
It worked. Best part: It doesn't cost anything.

Issues have not been planning well in my house lately. My kids have all come down having a stomach flu, I've extended family coming in for an event and my washing machine broke. Appropriate now I just want to sit in a corner and cry. Thankfully I am not planning to do that. When my husband gets home in ten minutes I'm planning to lock myself in our bedroom. As soon as everyone stops banging for the door asking what I'm doing, I will relax. The 1st point I will do is Watch Frasier Online.. That demonstrate is continually beneficial for a laugh and I definitely need one now. Following that I might nap or take a bubble bath. I haven't decided yet.

I love my new laptop. Not only can I play games and telecommute from home, but I can also Cant Filter Me.. With my work schedule it can be generally tough to watch shoes which have been currently popular so I often go back to my tried-and-true favorites. Frasier is a single of those. I don't remember how I first learned that you can watch these exhibits online, but however I did I would like to say thank you. Watching Television is a single of my favorite ways to relax right after a rough day inside the ER and Frasier is constantly excellent for any laugh. I require that additional generally than I must.

Worked perfectly the first time, follow the directions make sure your version 2.2.1 with a 3G Iphone.

can this be use to other country like libya? because my father will use this iphone there. looking forward for your help.. thanks!

Just tried to jailbreak my iphone and it goes to emergency calls only. When I press the arrow at the bottom of the screen it sends me to a purple screen with USB attachment. When I tried to connect to itunes it stated I was not a developer. Haven't a clue what all this means and my phone does not work. Despairing and seeking guidance. Andy cheers

@kevin
er... it says for iphone 3g 2.2.1

I JUST WENT THRU ALL THE steps with my 3g 3.0 iphone and its at the recovery screen and its purple? whats wrong???

ok i have an important question before i try this whole jailbreaking thing. i just bought my iPhone while on vacation here in FL and i plan on jailbreaking my phone on this computer and I'm going back home in a few days. When I hook my jailbroken iphone up to my computer at home will anything go wrong? also i don't have itunes on my computer at home.

Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance ;]
-emma

i have jail broken my iphone but now it wont charge can someone plz help as to why it wont?

The only question I have, while all this seems really simple is, will this work with AT&T users? I've read there are special ways to do it if you are. Supposedly you can't do it the normal way. As this true? I ask only because I have heard people will jailbreak and then not get any service after the break. If I do have a problem, do I just restore from itunes? Thanks alot guys.

PLEASE HELPPP........
When having step# 6. Firmware Verification,
I got message:
"TheIPSW file you selected (iPhone1,22.2.1) does not match the firmware versino of your device (iPhone1,23.0). Please note that QuickPwn does not upgrade your firmware, it only jailbreaks whatever firmware you currently have on your device."
PLEASE HELP....

how long do i have 2 wait in recovery mode?

hey,um what does jailbreaking mean?
i dont understand? and will you get in truoble for it?
& what does it do for me?

hello, what do i do if i only downloaded 2 of them , the blue & purple one.
do i need the other one?
& if soo how do i get it?

I did all the steps but when i got to the firmware part i couldn't find it. I downloaded the firmware like half a million times and i still can't find it. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong?

dude worked, too bad installer is down forever though. will its apps be avalliable ever again on a different installing app. e.g cydia, icy ????

Dont try any of the winpwn...quickpwn.... all r waste of time.... The only best solution is downloading REDSNOW application from dev blog website and follow d instructions...
It can successfully jailbreak the phone in few minutes... I tried 4 other solutions for nearly 9 hrs and found this one and dis s sucessfull one.. Easily jailbreak..
Ur comments pls...

umm i just jailbroke my iphone and it was pretty easy but after it was all dont and still now my phone is just black with the apple in the middle and i tried hooking it up to my computer and nothing happens and i cant cut it on or offf it just stays like that . is this supposed to be this way or what should i do please write me back cause i need help?

not that I mean when you are ay the screen with the instructions but ir says to wait for your phone to connect into recovery mode... I'm wondering how long that takes..

To get the Iphone back into recovery mode simply follow the steps you had used to get it into recovery mode in the first place (IE holding the buttons down for 5 the 30 seconds then letting go of the power button but keeping the home button down). Doing this will allow your Iphone to be recognized by itunes again so you will be able to restore it. (this is for people who had the same problem as me with having their phone stay on the boot up screen for hours).
as for people thinking of jailbreaking their phone, I suggest waiting until firmware 3.0 comes out as the trouble you are going through now might not matter because your jailbreaked applications may not work with the new software. I would wait it out...
for the people running XP and other successful jailbroken apps...how did you successfully do it while others (like myself) have failed?

how long does it take for the iphone 3g to go into recovery mode?

I've just tried it and now I'm left with just a pineapple on my screen and it won't do nothing else :s Any suggestions ???

runnig windows xp

i can not open qwicpwn after i downloaded it. it says orror initalizeing. i restarted and re downloaded but nothing

PLEASE HELP!
I jailbroke my 2G iPhone already and inserted my AT&T GoPhone SIM card afterwards. But I have no signals yet. Somebody please help!!!

TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO DO THIS, I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BECAUSE YOU CAN RUIN YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT DO IT RIGHT! I ATTEMPTED IT AND WAS UNABLE TO HAVE MY PHONE BOOT BACK UP ONCE THE DOWNLOAD WAS COMPLETE. IT TOOK FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE MY COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE THE PHONE WITHOUT ITUNES FREEZING BEFORE IT COULD BE RESTORED.
BEWARE.

I had just attempted to jailbreak my phone. I followed the directions exactly and I had made sure all the programs were up to date. The download said it was a success and that it needed to reboot for me to enoy the phone. Trouble is the phone can no longer reboot, it is currently stuck on the apple logo start up screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? please email me if you do, I feel like I have just ruined my phone. I cant even restore my iphone because an error message comes up saying it cannot connect. please help~!!!

I get to the second step and double-click on the pineapple and I get a QuickPwn.exe - must first install .NET Framework:v2.0.50727
And I have had all the trouble in the world. Anyone know what I'm talking about or encounter this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please Help - I have done all of the steps above, then when it says you have sucessfully jailbroken your iPhone, please wait for it to restart with the new modded software(somewhere along those lines...)and then it wont stop what i think looks as to it restarting itself over and over. Also it never leaves the boot screen. then i tried it again to see if i did something wrong and this message showed up - "This version of QuickPwn can only jailbreak devices with versions >=2.0.". And when I go to iTunes to see if it's connected properly, it says it can't access it because of it being locked, when in fact it hasn't left the boot screen in the past hour.

What do I do if i get the error message: Your device has connected to the wrong mode. This can be caused by incorrect following of the instructions or a faulty USB connection. Please Try again
Thanks

I have been researching jailbreaking for quite some time now and i have seen more people with issues here recently than i have seen in a long time. Think i am going to wait until 3.0 comes out in a week, then wait until app is updated or created to jailbreak it...

I got to the “verify still connected” bit when Quickpwn crashed. I started it all again and in the same spot Quickpwn did it again but this time the Iphone screen showed an Itunes icon and a usb lead but nothing else happened, I needed to restore - could someone tell me what happened and how to get around this please? Thanx

thx sooooo much
this really worked

Umm, I have a question. After you do all of the stuff it says, how long does it take for the iphone to reboot itself?? I just finished jailbreaking my iphone, but it is taking quite a long time for it to reboot itself. Is that normal?

One thing the guide doesn't mention. If you have a pass code you must disable before the jail breaking. It will make things much easier for you.

Is it supposed to take a while for the program to put it in recovery mode?

536 has good info if you're stuck with constant re-boots after the jail break process.
I tried, did the jail break and got stuck at the end. PILE OF CRAP! I had to restore and loose all my data.
Thanks!

I got to the "verify still connected" when Quickpwn crashed. Started again and in the same spot it did it again but this time the Iphone screen showed an Itunes icon and a usb lead but nothing happened, I needed to restore - could someone tell me what happened and how to get around this please? Thanx

Thank you very much for this. I went through lots of steps over and over again but this one REALLY worked.
Now I just have to figure out how to unlock my iphone. I can google it anyway.
THANK YOU MUCH. :)

does it take VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY long to download the second file or its just me?????

I have downloaded everything and the download went through fine, but now it is stuck on the apple logo, it shuts on and off but then goes right back to the apple logo. I had a passcode to open my phone originally, therefore I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but when I went on to Itunes to try and restore, it stated that my phone has a passcode to unlock, but because my phone is frozen on the apple logo, i don't even have the option to unlock my phone, therefore not even Itunes will recognize my phone where I can do a restore...PLEASE HELP!

I did everything as explained. when i get to the part where i have to put the firmware in, i put it in and it does not verify it for me! Can someone help me please???

man thank u so much for all.ive jailbreaked my iphone 3g,16gb,,and its working just fine.thankz

Are u sure this jailbreaking software wont screw up my iphone 3g. will this work

This tutorial seems to be for Mac's. Am I wrong. Can I uste this tutorial for Windows XP sp2?

ok so i downloaded like 10 different iPhone1,22.2.15H11_Restore.zip files from various websites. they are all 246 MB and none of them have the ipsw file. am i missing something in the directions? is it in one of those dmg files?
in other words, WTF?!

got same problem as Jason.
ipsw file is not inside firmware zip file. couple folders and some other files but no ipsw file.
help?

The second download will not download what is going on??

Just for general info, ive struggled to get this to work, it all loads fine, and as the phone tries to reboot after jailbreaking it just freezes. I tried to plug it into itunes and it would pick the phone up, however i figured out if you start i tunes and press the same button pattern on the instructions, itunes will pick your phone up and restore it to its previos state, hope this helps.

I jailbreaked my ipod yesterday but i dont think it worked it did say that it was successful but the pineapple logo has been there for the longest time...i even left it all night and i see no advance to it...it is stuck to dfu mode and when i tried to restore everything back to normal...the ipod wont appear on itunes..i dont know what to do...plz someone help how can i make my ipod work again!!!!

I followed the directions to a "T" and it seemed to work fine but the first app I downloaded put my phone itno a loop that turns it on for about 1 to 2 minutes and then shuts it off, I can't restore it in I tunes or anything, it just restarts and is stuck in this loop, any ideas or suggestions????

it world and now my screen is just the black background wiht the silver pineapple. help???

to Frank,
I had the same problem, Im assuming you've used yellowsn0w...make sure your SIM pin code is off otherwise it wont work

Can anyone help please? I have successfully unlocked my iphone 16gb 3g but I am still getting an invalid sim error on my phone. What do I need to do next so that my phone will work with t-mobile.

Hey guys, I have same probelm as Daniel.. couldn't launch the QuickPwn.. anybody can help??

oh finally i fix it with .Net Framework ...:D well done .. :D thannks alot

when i open the QuickPwn it said "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application" then it terminates ... i can't open it for the 1st step ... please show me how to fix this error ....

after downloading, the 2.2.1 firmware IPSW file is not in the folder after downloading, just a bunch of unopenable .dmg files, this obliviously results in quickpwn not being able to open the IPSW. anyone having the same problem?

can anyone tell me how long it will take the apple logo appear in my screen after jailbreaking it? thanks in advance! :)

I just download quick pwn and 3g 2.2.1 IPSW FIRMWARE.. then I unzip the quick pwn.. I can't launch the quick pwn.. any idea?? I'm using Window XP
My is Canada I phone 3G w/ Fido, shouldn't be a problem right?

@Tony #485 - I had the same problem as you (not being able to dial out or "touch to return to call"). I uninstalled "Kate" and my phone now works properly. I know I'm late with the response and my solution may not even help, but I thought I'd post it just in case.

i got through the whole process up to when the apple logo goes away and then the apple sign shows up. but then it just stays on the apple logo. once in a while it will flash and then the logo will reappear but it doesnt load into the icons. how long should this take?

so if i jailbreak my iphone now and the iphone 3.0 software comes out in july i will be able to restore my iphone and download the software????????????

I did everything step by step everything works fine but when I try to install a app to my iPhone it says iTunes cannot read that file any ideas why?

I did this successfully and everything was going great until I realized I have no safari. Is this bad? Or is it supposed to take it off? How am I supposed to use the internet then? Thanks!!

This did not work first time round for me. However I restored my iPhone then did it a second time and worked fine.

my bludy iphone has broke thanks alot

hey i have a big problem ,it stays on the reboot screen for like 30 mins and keeps vibrating evry couple of minutes…what am i to do?

just finished the jailbreaking process in 10 mins. great install with very clear instructions. thanks for the post jeremy, and the team that made this possible. great work guys.

but i cant get in to itunes because i have a passcode on it

It can't find the ipsw

i just wanted to say that i got my iphone 3g 2.30.03 phone unlocked and every thing and it is not working with all the programs and my not AT&T sim

If you are on the iphone 3g 2.2.1, and you can’t get past the apple logo upon completion, restore your iphone by opening itunes, then hold down the Home button for 5 seconds, then hold the power button until it turns off. Let go of just the power button, then press the power button again (while still holding the Home button) and iTunes will eventually recognize that it’s in “Restore Mode” and you can restore from backup. (If you have one). This will take a while.
Now to attempt QuickPWN again correctly, realize that they left out the first step in the program. Open iTunes, click on your phone on the left, hold the shift button down, and click the Restore button. This will open a file browser where you can select the newly downloaded iPhone1,22.2.15H11_Restore.ipsw. Restore to this file. This is an important step because it starts the iphone from scratch. At the end when it prompts to restore service to the phone click yes. Then, open QuickPWN and browse to the same Restore file. When running QuickPWN 2.2.5 or 2.2.1 it will close iTunes. This is okay, don’t worry about it. When it gets to the third step and asks you to hold down for 30 seconds, really hold down for 30 seconds. Don’t let go when it moves down to the next process. Still count down from where it leaves off to zero, then let go. Let it do it’s thing. You should only have to wait about a couple of minutes for it to finish completely. If it sits on the apple or pineapple logo for more than 5 minutes it didn’t work and try again.

hi everyone i really need some hlpe,i got my iphone 3g in another conutry but i live in italy..i did the jailbreak and now is jailbroken but i still can't use any italian sim it,plz i need some hlpe av tried all sims but it wont work...any hlpe??

If you are trying to jailbreak using Windows Vista you might need to restart your computer every time before you jailbreak. This is the only way i could get quickpwn to work

cheers appreciate your help

I am trying to jailbreak my Iphone 3G with 2.2.1 firmware and i cannot find a 2.2.1 firmware download that isnt in winrar format. My phone was already updated when i purchased it. So I dont have a copy of it in my itunes folder.please help

Okay! everything went smooth, inserted by Tmobile SIM. Only emergency calls are allowed... detected different SIM...
I don't think it unlocked :(

What a great walkthrough. Thank you.
Hey, if you re-write, you may want to warn the reader before they initiate the key sequence, that that they will be expected to start holding buttons without an intervening prompt. It caught me off guard and I had to do a hard reset and start over.
Best,

Hey guys, im trying to jailbreak my iphone. I have got the iphone 3G which was bought a month ago brand new from carphone warehouse so it already has the 2.2.1 (5H11) firmware on it already with the 02.30.03 baseband!
I have downloaded the required files and following the instructions as provided.
Although when I get to step where I select the IPSW in QuickPWN, it can't find it! the file is there... even when I do a restore in itunes by holding select and clicking restore it still wont find it.
It downloaded as a ZIP file and it doesnt have the .zip ext on the end of the file! I'm really struggling
any ideas?
Thank you

Ok, so I jailbroke my phone and it all went fine and I got the last screen and the pineapple message and all that and now I'm waiting for it to reboot. It keeps vibrating every 2 to 3 minutes or so and all I have is the pineapple logo (I changed my boot logo). How long before it starts up?

Hi guys, can anyone tell me after jailbreaking can it perform COPY, CUT AND PASTE on email, notes and SMS, just like the OS 3.0? Your soonest reply will be appreciated.

I have successfully did jail breaking but i am not able to use other sim cards. can u plz help me

I dont know why but my iphone wont be detected by my itunes either. i want to restore it back but it wont happen. any help?

After following the steps, my phone is supposed to be rebooted. but instead, only the apple icon appears at the center. I tried on/offing the phone but after that, only the apple icon appears and not the menu. please help me

Everytime I click on the Quickpwn icon to open it, I get a notice saying that quickpwn has encountered a problem and has to close. what can I do to get it to run like in step 2?

The iPhone 3g 2.2.1 IPSW file is a winrar zip file, so the quickpwn program will not load it. When i unrar the file it becomes alot of folders and files and not a ipsw file. What to do? I have tried downloading a similar ipsw (custom made) file from another place, but then quickpwn sais it doe snot match any firmware version quickpwn supports,even though the file is supposed to nbe for 2.2.1. Isa you might deduce from the above, I am a total newbie at this, Please help :-S

if you jailbreak your iphone 3g and for some reason you have to send it into apple for servicing, what happens. If the phone is still under warranty or you have the protection plan, is all of that voided if the phone is jailbroken? Or can you just restore it and they wouldnt know the difference. thanks

1st time kept getting stuck at the browsing for firmware stage.
2nd time worked a treat... just tried the whole process from scratch and done and dusted within 20 mins... sweet

472 pucho i had same problem but opened quickpwn again to re-try putting the firmware on and my phone decided to boot up after an hour of the apple logo

Thanks to entry 454 I was able to restore my iphone to factory settings. Did the jailbreak again and it worked. I reccomend you back up your iphone, restore it factory settings and then jailbreak, that way the initial reboot won't take hours (I left mine more than 7 hours and didn't work never got it back).

I did everything per instructions and my Iphone is stuck on the pineapple logo and itunes don't recognize it. I tried a reset but is not working, I thing I lost it. Please help!!

I have an Iphone 3g (16GB) and downloaded everything correctly. It jailbroke fine and when it was rebooting, it is frozen on the pineapple. I have no idea how to fix this, if there is any way please let me know

I have an unlocked iphone, using turbosim, and I have succesfully jailbroken my phone, but it has now become locked and will not recognise my sim.

Thanks

this worked perfecly at the end when it reboots it stuffed up for me on the first time but i tried it again and when the apple logo came up i just left it and it worked perfectly whooooo XD

well i found the solution for windows user...just rename the zip extension to ipsw...

please help my question is simple, but nobody answers me
i bought my iphone on 2.2.1 software and 02.30.03 modem already installed so where can i find the ipsw file when asked by quickpwn?

please where can i download the ipsw file for windows, not mac!!

Wow this was extremely easy. Alot of my co-workers and now me have gone through this process. And I love it as much as them. Thanks a million. Later.

Worked! Fantastic NO issues. Thanks so much!

i just took all the steps to jailbreaking my iphone 3g and i successfully completed the process, but my phone has been showing only the quickpwn pineapple for ten minutes now. after it said to wait for it to reboot in its new state. is this typical??

in the ninth point, I no longer continue.
for me is that I had a bad / faulty connection. I came to the conclusion, (five seconds before the run) then came the error. I hope someone can help me.
I have a swiss iphone 3G (firmware 2.2.1).

is the possibility great that the iphone doesn't work?
thank you in advance.

where can i download the ipsw file, all the firware i downloaded are for mac

I had my phone stuck on the pineapple for ages but i sorted by doing the following:
I connected my phone via usb and loaded itunes. It wouldnt connect at first and kept giving me error messages. I needed to reboot it but it wouldnt let me. To overcome this, i put the phone in DFU mode. To do this you need to hold the home and on/off key down untill it turns off, then continue to hold the home button. I did this and the phone flashed white, then itunes offerd the re-boot to factory settings. Seems as it was fixed but had nothing on it worth losing, i attempted jailbrerak again, opting without the pineapple logos, and it worked just fine. no problems yet

sorry to ask but cant find any IPSW file once i unzip the 2.2.1 firmware IPSW, only .dmg files? please someone help

INSTRUCTIONS for anyone with the Frozen at Pineapple/Apple logo. (MAC)

1. Get your phone on (pineapple/apple logo)
2. Turn it off by holding power/home for 10 seconds, LET GO IMMEDIATELY after it turns off.
3. Leave the phone alone for 6-8 HOURS
4. Open up iTunes(6-8 hours later)
5. Connect iPhone via USB
6. Hold power/home until it turns on
7. IMMEDIATELY let go of power and HOLD home for as long as it takes for you to reach the "Steve Jobs" screen (I dont know if this will be the same if you have the apple logo, it may be the connect to itunes, Im not sure, but for pineapple this is what will show.)
8. Here is where you NEED patience.
9. Wait for iTunes to recognize your phone, let EVERYTHING load, dont rush or anything.
10. After it is all loaded, locate your 2.2.1 firmware download (you should have it if you previously tried jailbreaking...duh)
11. Hold Option (alt) and press restore.
12. Select the 2.2.1 firmware
13. Restore as you would on any other occasion.
14. Hope this helped, any other questions?

Not worth your time. I tried this on my windows xp this morning. Frozen on the apple since. FINALLY after hours upon hours of trial and failure, I got my iphone 3g into recovery mode. Then, it bricked and shut down COMPLETELY again. After another hour of messing around, I got it all to work, now in the process of restoring from back-up. Not worth the trouble, I reccomend staying with what you have. Not worth it. In addition to that, im not a tech-moron, I am an expert graphic designer, programmer, and coding expert. I've never dealt with such a pain in the ass experience like this.

Hey there. I just followed this tutorial and used QuickPwn to jailbreak my iPod Touch 1st Generation (2.2.1 firmware). The first time I tried to put it into DFU mode, I didn't hold the home button for long enough, so it told me I had my iPod in the wrong mode. I did it again, and it worked. It installed everything, went through the pineapple in a jogging suit thing, and then said it was rebooting.
And it still is rebooting, 15 minutes later. It's currently in my Belkin iPod Dock, which does have a steady connection to my computer. It does the normal reboot, registers with my computer, then a little white flash, then back to the boot screen. And then the same thing happens again. Ideas, help? Thanks.

hi guys, ive managed to jailbreak my 3g phone 2.2.1, 2nights back.installed some jb & apple store apps.tonight however, I cant launch the apple store apps, i can launch the jb swares and can make calls. please advice..

hi
when i try to install Quickpwn i am geting bellow error msg.
0xc0000135

when i plug in my device once im to that beginning part of the tutorial. a dialog box pops up and says 'this version of quickpwn can only jailbreak devices with version 2.0" what gives? is this because of the new agreement laws for third party apps? if so this blows!
