How to: Jailbreak/Unlock Your 1st Generation iPhone 2.2.1 – Windows PC QuickPWN Edition
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!

Hi, this works for the 3G too, just not the SIM unlock yet, i guess those money grabbers over at iphoneunlockuk.com are finally out of business for trying to sell freely available tools
please continue with your quest for world liberation from greedy theives!

Thanks! Worked a treat. One happy unlocked iPhone user1
October 12th, 2008 at 12:04 am
I had the same issue as tewest86. I must have restored back to 2.1 native in iTunes and tried this two dozen times. I have an EDGE 8G iPhone, and haven’t had this work yet. Is there another Windows unlock tool for 2.1, or should I try to roll back to 2.0.2?
October 12th, 2008 at 12:14 am
piece of cake … thxs
October 12th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Had same problem tewest86. I am rolling back to 2.0.2
October 13th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
When I did this and installed a At&t sim card it stayed at the make an emergency call screen! This it said wrong sim! But here’s the thing, I could make and recieve calls but only from they emergency screen. Someone help please!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
You need to restore your iPhone to factory first before you use QuickPwn.
Insert the sim from the provider you WISH to use first.
Clear down the folder where your iTunes restore files are Should be “C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates” (where %username% is your PC’s profile name)
Open iTunes with the iPhone connected and hold down the ‘home’ button. iTunes should recognise an iPone is connecting in ‘restore mode’. iTunes will now download and install the latest 2.1 firmware. Let it complete this but when it is finished do nothing more than close iTunes. DO NOT ACTIVATE THE PHONE just close iTunes.
Now run QuickPwn select the newly downloaded firmware that iTunes just installed from the folder above, click on and tick all the required boxes, choose the boot file paths and click on, go through all the steps and once the phone reboots you will be active with no prompt to activate! Happy Dayzz
The crutial part is the iPhone firmware must never have been activated via iTunes in the first place otherwise it will always fail when you change SIM cards.
Hope this helps ricardo.

The unlock and jailbreak worked great, thank you, but I am having trouble getting it to recognize the EDGE data service. I put wap.voicestream.com into the APN line as instructed, but no dice. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:30 am
If you still cannot run T-mobile Edge service, Check out http://jbwebdev.com/blog/t-mobile-edge-stopped-working/ Basically re-install new Tzones Hack from BigBoss at Cydia

Just an FYI for those who are in my same config and the jailbreak isnt important to you. (-:
October 21st, 2008 at 2:38 pm

October 25th, 2008 at 1:25 am

Great! Works perfectly for me … Thanks for the tutorial!
October 27th, 2008 at 1:34 am
I jailbroke my iphone 2G, first I did it without the T-mobile sim card in place and then with the sim card in, but it still gives me the same error, “Different sim detected, Please connect to iTunes”, When I connect to itunes, it says, “The sim card is not supported”, I can receive and make phone calls. Does anyone know how this could be solved??
October 27th, 2008 at 6:43 pm

I did exactly as you said to do and followed all your directions and it was a total success!!! Thank you guys so much!!! I installed a T-mobile sim card works great!!!
October 29th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

October 29th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
So, do you put the SIM card you want into your iPhone before you do this? after? in between? not matter?
October 29th, 2008 at 10:31 pm

I have to re-unlock and re-jailbreak phone.. will this work even if it was already jailbroke/unlocked? I am already on 2.1 firmware..just want to make sure this is the correct tool.. I bought my phone already unlocked etc. my data is showing up as all orange and itunes says it cannot read my phone anymore.. so wanted to check before I do a restore ..thanks
November 5th, 2008 at 12:33 pm

November 5th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
One question, does the EDGE service from tmobile work free? or do I have to pay the 5.99 plan?
November 6th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Comment number 10 is a must read. It should be step #1 in the unlocking process. Thanks Clever!
November 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Thanks so much. This worked like a charm. You guys rock!

November 7th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
This was attempted on 5.11.2008 Hi I was using ziphone with 1.1.4 firmware and wanted to use Quickpwn 2.1. I restored my Iphone from I tunes by clicking and holding SHIFT then hitting restore in I tunes and after it rebooted it asked me to insert original sim-card. I inserted my pay as you go O2 sim-card, which it was happy with. I went to upgrade to 2.1.1 firmware but it asked me to upgrade to the latest I tunes. After updating I tunes I then uploaded the firmware 2.1.1 I then followed the procedures exactly as explained from QuickPwn, everything worked fine. It came to the end which also unlocked the phone but when putting in the unofficial sim-card, it said “Please insert original sim-card.”.
I would really appreciate any help to solve my problem.
Thanks James
November 7th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Hi Jonathan mine does the same after what i did above
November 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
My anti-virus picked up a trojan from the Quickpwn file, anyone else have that problem?
November 8th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
hello thanks man.. its working
November 8th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Yeeehhhhaa! Finally managed to unlock my iphone. Tried many times and failed. Pay attention to the step pointed out in post #10.
November 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
OMG THIS WORKD IM SO HAPY TY U GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
November 8th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Wow, I was gonna hack my phone the day I got it which was right when the price dropped for the first time but I decided against it waiting for the process to be perfected, and wow I can;t imagine it getting any better/easier/faster than this…Thanks
November 9th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I had a bit of a problem with the unlock procedure, but as others have said you need to use itunes update before quickpwn. {Pay attention to comment Number 10 by Clever. Cheers m8}I also did it without a sim card in and it worked. It will come up with a message saying there is no sim card but just tap the screen and it goes off. 1. Use itunes Version 8 to do the restore, clear any other update out of the itunes folder and let itunes download the file not the ispw from here
Thanks for all the help guys I now have a 2.1 iphone unlocked and jailbroken. Cheers Kev
November 9th, 2008 at 2:05 pm

November 10th, 2008 at 8:58 am
I’ve followed the steps up to number 3, BUT QuickPwn wont detect my 2g iPhone. The blue arrow is greyed out…….HELP????
The phone has been updated from 1.1.4 to 2.1 using the custom firmware. Phone now shows the emergency call screen and iTunes says that the sim is not compatible. I wish I’d never bothered updating – can anyone help????
November 12th, 2008 at 2:58 am
AWESOME! Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!
November 12th, 2008 at 3:58 am
Worked like a charm, thanks to all the geniouses who programed this!
November 12th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I just did it, and now get the emergency screen, and I can receive and make calls (in the emergency calls screen) but nothing more. I would like to know one thing… If I restore the phone in iTunes I will get some trouble? Like killing my iPhone?
November 12th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I was having all sorts of problems with QuickPwn – but managed to do the whole process very easily last night. What I would suggest is to put the phone into DFU restore, open iTunes and restore the firmware to the official 2.1.
Using the above tutorial, start from step 2 and make sure that you follow all the onscreen prompts. Do not disconnect the phone or dislodge the usb cable. Everything should work fine.
If you synced your phone to iTunes, before attempting the QuickPwn process iTunes will popup a dialog offering to “restore data from a backup”. You can then restore your contacts, text etc…. Some issues have been found though using this process with phones previously on 1.1.4. See how it goes………….good luck.
November 12th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Under Settings, General, then Network all that appears is DATA Roaming, VPN, Wi-Fi. Nothing about APN. What is the solution?
November 13th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Just finished three days of forensic reading, dozens of systematic, scientific efforts, and tonight found this page. No science necessary; Just follow the instructions!! Wow, my phone works, and I am so pleased. Cash to follow. silver? good advice!!!
November 14th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Ran this program multiple times. Still saysay “no service. Can make or recieve calls. Sim card tried in another phone and works great! Help asap???????
November 14th, 2008 at 11:10 am
For those of you who has the issue with “Please insert original sim-card.” after unlocking with QuickPwn please follow comment #10 first then run QuickPwn again. This includes you guys with AT&T sim cards and pay-as-you-go sims.
I had that problem and this site helped me fix the issue. 1. Had to restore back to factory default of 2.1 2. Put my carrier’s sim card in (Tmobile). It could even be a pay-as-you-go sim 3. Ran QuickPwn again 4. Phone works now.
November 14th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I also got my phone off craigslist and had scoped out this website knowing that i would use it to unlock my phone for t-mobile. I restored it using itunes 8 and followed the procedures but like most of the people before me, got left with the “emergency” calls only screen. I repeated the procedures about 3 times and nothing, so i decided to do the restore again and ran the applications once more and BAM there it was, up and working. For those of you who plan on following this procedure anticipate this happening to you, be patient and restore if you get the emergency message and try again. Worked for me. Thanks for all the info and help!
November 14th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
gives problem on every reboot but yeaaaa THIS IS AWSOME!!! thanks to all team members
November 14th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Thank you so much. I have been seaching for days for an easy to undestand tutorial. Downloaded all files you specified, followed your direction EXACTLY and my first attempt at unlocking and jailbreaking went much more smoothly than I had anticipated! In about 30 minutes (including download time) I was done and using t-mobile, wi-fi worked perfectly and so far everything seems to work perfect! YOU GUYS ROCK!
November 15th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Worked without any hassles – BTW, though it says all Apple processes and services in the Windows Task Manager should be disabled (or stopped), Apple Mobile Services needs to be ON. The Pwange tool does not recognize without this services ON. I had stopped iPod services as a precaution.
Otherwise, the entire procedure seems to be seamless and thoroughly hassle free.
Actually speaking, the entire process is meant for dumbest of dummies!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I have a 2g 2.1 iphone that im trying to unlock for my mom. She has a razor with at&t and i would like to switch the sim from her razor into the iphone. I have tried to unlock it multiple times and i always get the emergency screen everyone else keeps getting. Is there something I could possibley be doing wrong? Do I leave her sim card in there right after i restore the iphone?
November 17th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I was afraid to upgrade my 1.1.4 firmware to 2.1 because i didn’t know if i would be able to unlock the phone. so i tried this process on a buddies, and sure enough it worked perfectly for him. now its my turn. thank you!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 4:13 am
This is fantastic. I have been stuck with a dead phone for over a week! the secret is to pay attention to comment #10! Thank you!!

November 19th, 2008 at 6:26 am
works perfectly! im on optus prepaid (australia). i was scared to put my sim in before unlocking the phone, but i did and nothing happened. i just lost all my contacts and msg’s etc, but that was expected, being a new phone and all. thankyou soo much! also, remember to follow cmnt #10. i didnt try it without that step first, but it worked for me with using that step, so i would recommend it.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

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?
November 21st, 2008 at 7:23 am
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..
November 21st, 2008 at 8:22 pm
If you are sure you are running 2.1 can you just go ahead and skip to step 2?
November 21st, 2008 at 9:47 pm
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.
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:23 am
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.
November 22nd, 2008 at 6:39 pm
CAN I PUT MY PAY AS YOU GO AT&T SIM CARD IN THE PHONE WHILE USING JAILBREAK AND IT STILL WORK?
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:29 pm
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..!!!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Idiotproof.. worked a treat for me from start to finish. It does wot it says in the tin
Cheers..
November 24th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
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
November 24th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Worked like a charm. first time around thanks guys
November 24th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
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.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
whats i mean by the steps from number 1 is the steps from this page.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
how long does it usually takes?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
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.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
^^^^^^^ oh and make sure your sim is in the phone throughout the whole process.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
i’ve been doing it for hours and nothing have changed? it keeps telling me to put a sim card to activate it
November 24th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
it keeps saying my iphone cant be used because of sim activation! help pls!!!!!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
how long does it usually take for quickpwn to browse for firmware?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 25th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
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,
November 25th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Hurray, I just got it working!! The trick is to hold the home button for 5 seconds
November 25th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
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
November 25th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
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!!!
November 25th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
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
November 26th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
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.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:13 am

November 29th, 2008 at 6:03 am
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.
November 29th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
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 !!!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:11 am
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?
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:34 pm
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!
:):)
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:45 pm

December 3rd, 2008 at 1:03 am
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?
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 am
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?
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:00 am
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.
December 4th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
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.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
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
December 5th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Thank You. Many other programs are corrupt or simply don’t work. This one does off the bat. Thanks again.
December 7th, 2008 at 12:21 am
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?
December 7th, 2008 at 2:36 pm

December 8th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
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
December 9th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
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?

December 14th, 2008 at 7:55 am
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!!
December 15th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
this was a great.. it worked beautifully. I wasn’t able to make it to work first couple times .. since i was not following the instructions properly .. but this is amazing. thanks for sharing this.

?
December 17th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
same problem as everyone else with the emergency calls only problem with tmobile. Follow step 137 and it will fix this
December 18th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
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.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:32 am

OK…so how do I jailbreak my 1st gen (2G) iPhone now that I’ve updated to 2.2? The article promises a “How to”, but I cannot find such a document. Is it possible to jailbreak my iPhone?
December 29th, 2008 at 9:03 am
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.
i know that it’s back to the factory settings but i want to unlock it again so i can use it with my t-mobile SIM card. i started to unlock it and it was going well until i got to step 6. where it tells you to browse for firmware. the right bundle is selected but the blue arrow won’t pop up so i can go to the next step.
if there’s anyone who can help, because i really need it, please do. thanks!

How to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3G Here: http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2009/01/02/how-to-jailbreak-unlock-your-iphone-3g-with-yellowsn0w/
January 6th, 2009 at 1:27 am
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?
January 6th, 2009 at 9:36 am
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:
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!
January 10th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
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!
January 11th, 2009 at 9:15 am
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.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:39 am
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
January 14th, 2009 at 8:49 am
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?
January 15th, 2009 at 7:15 am
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.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:32 am
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.

how long does it take for the iphone to “connect in recovery mode”
January 20th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
omg quickest and easiest thing ive ever done thankssss a mill
January 21st, 2009 at 9:32 am
can’t run QuickPwn.exe, comes back with net framework initilaisation errors (windows)…. i’m stuck.
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Please see below comment. All hail the great UsMan..:D
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.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Thanks a million times ………. thnxx so so so much ….
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
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!
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
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.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
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!!!
January 25th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
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??????

It worked fine, but when I got to Settings, General, and Network, I don’t see anything that says APN, just VPN and Wi-Fi. What’s going on?
February 15th, 2009 at 9:42 am

Lost, I’m having the same problem I can not find APN anywhere only VPN. How can I get data back on the phone with T-Mo SIM?
February 19th, 2009 at 11:38 am
@iFONE, simply connect your phone to iTunes and after that YouTube should work. If not look for a YouTube fix via Cydia.
February 21st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Omg Thanxs!!!! l0l love it so easy and quick im using vista home basic and it was so quick and it didnt delete anything like contacts or pics or music its tight Thanxssss
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Before I try this, I just wanted to know if all my apps, data, pictures, etc. will be deleted? My brother gave me his old iphone so I won’t have the same itunes to restore it with.
February 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 pm
O my god gys!!!!!!!!! That f…..g iphone. I took my three nights to get the f…..g thing to work. Sorry for the language but i was pretty pissed till 5 min ago. Thanks for that blog it helped me a lot. I was trying to unlock my 2G iphone so i can use it back home in eastern europe. Everything that is shown on that web site is 100% true. The onli problem is that the very beginning is not clear- this is when (comment #10) comes in place, but still might be a little confusing That’s why i am going to tell you exactle what i did. 1)i’m using 2G updated on the same computer already at 2.2.1 2) my computer is slow and running xp proffesional
3) as (#10 clever) says take your original sim card out, and put the one you want to use after the unlock
4) plug your iphone,open itunes hold the home button down or both of them if it somehow does’t work. You need to get it to say that “iPone is connecting in ‘restore mode”. The only option you will have is to hit “restore”
After hitting it it gonna say ” would you like to restore default settings and update..” where you will say yes but now VERY IMPORTANT- IT THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE YOUR IPHONE PLUGGED IN FOR UPDATING AFTER THE RESTORE IS DONE. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!! AFTER THE RESTORE YOUR IPHONE WILL REBOOT AND THIS IS WHEN YOU TURN ITUNES OFF.
That’s it after that follow all these steps and you will be fine. Just keep trying.
I know i am probably repeating other comments i just wanted to make it a little more clear.
I hope that helped you and you will never see tha f…..g sign “Different sim detected”
Thanks a lot
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:27 am

your’e an angel
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
My iphone was jailbroken and unlocked and then I upgraded to the latest update from itunes. Once, update was finished, the screen was stuck in the “slide for emergency” connect to iTunes mode. I could receive all texts and calls, and make calls from the emergency keyboard, and the phone recognized my GSM carrier, so I figure it was still unlocked. How do I get my iphone screen back to normal? Help. My phone is a 2g (8gb).
February 24th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Followed all thesteps trying to unlock my phone.
Went from 2.1 firmware to 2.2.1. Had the Bootneuter running at its last step. But i am still unable to UNLOCK my phone. It shows NO SERVICE. But manage to installed cydia n installer.
Under CARRIERS > Network Selection, im able to see my provider. Upon clicking it i get “RESTRICTED NETWORK” “Your selected cellular network is restricted. You can choose a different network in Settings”
Plz help
February 25th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I installed the Quickpawn software and extracted it, but I can’t seem to get it to open up. My computer brings up an error that says it was failed to initialize properly. What could be the case here?
February 25th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
john..u gotta install .net on ur machine
March 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Just want to ask for some links. I upgraded my old 2g iPhone her. 1.1.2 to the new 2.2.1 with the pawnage tool. It’s unlocked and jailbroken. I can call and send and recieve text. Tried 3 different sims I have. At& t. Orange and a free generic pay as I go. All worked But. Some things don’t work.map can’t locate me you tube doesn’t work. My bitesms account can’t update credits to this phone. And there’s probably more. That I haven’t tried. So any links or help would be greatly appreciated. Thx ltr mike
March 3rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
great one!…i like this one!
March 4th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Thanks…. Worked perfectly for me. God bless you
March 5th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
worked like a charm! my only stump was Quickpwn wouldn’t work properly but I downloaded .net program and it worked!
March 7th, 2009 at 9:08 am
AWESOME TRULY AWESOME….!!! WORKS A TREAT!!
March 7th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I just got my iphone in the mail and it was supposed to be unlocked but of course when I inserted my tmobile sim it said emergency calls only and when I connected to itunes I got the unsupported sim message. I followed your instructions and comment #10 and was unable to unlock it myself. I am the least computer literate person on the planet and I was afraid I would have to send the phone back or pay to have it unlocked. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!! If I could do this anyone can!!!
March 8th, 2009 at 8:43 am
People keep asking how to solve the ‘emergency call only’ problem. Please read #10, it works. If not the 1st time, keep trying! I had to repeat the whole process twice, but I’ve read someone else had to do it 4 times. So, a bit frustrating maybe, but it the end it should work!
March 8th, 2009 at 9:48 am
i downloaded everything and when i use QuickPWN it freezes up and says something is wrong with it i am currently using windows vista is the the problem?
March 9th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
i’m on the 1.1.4 software ..do i have to plug in my iphone to the computer and update it first before i do all of this or should i guess go str8 to the installin ??
March 9th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
THIS WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!! First time around. For T-mobile, just add unlimited internet and your set! The tip earlier about removing the AT&T SIM before beginning the process…..
March 12th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Having spent all night trying to get this to work, I finally figured it out. I was suffering from the “Wrong Sim / Emergency Only” call screen and it was doing my head in.
So here is exactly what I did.
Insert the new sim card (the one you are wanting to use once unlocked)
Connect the phone to the pc and open itunes.
Once opened press and hold the POWER button and the HOME button until the screen turns off (black). (Your device also disappears from iTunes)
When the screen turns black release the POWER button while still holding the HOME button until your device pops back in iTunes. iTunes will then detect your device in recovery mode and ask you to restore it.
Click to restore, it will then ask to restore default setting and update. Again click yes to this.
Allow this to run fully. After roughly 2-3 minutes it will ask you to “leave your iPhone plugged in for updating or rebooting” (can’t remember exactly what it said). As soon as it says this close iTunes, but don’t touch the iPhone.
Next follow the steps as listed above and hopefully your iPhone will be unlocked.
Well that’s how I got it to work for me.
Thanks for the help above, especially # 205 (Fobus666)
Good luck
March 13th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Comments 10,205,223 … You are amazing…
Thank You Very Much….. absolutely working..!!
March 13th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
I already performed jailbreak on my iphone, i try to use it with my T-mobile card but it won’t let me use it. What can I do? It turns into the emergency call mode only
March 15th, 2009 at 10:11 am
HI Guys This thing works. I was worried that it would fail because i used WinXP SP3 but the entire process went smoothly like drinking juice. Congratulation to guys who made this software. Thanks guys
March 15th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
what you need to do is put your wanted carrier sim card before you unlock it
March 16th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
thanks man, this defenitely works, can someone let me know if you can still plug your iphone into itunes without needing it jailbroken again?
March 17th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Wow these instructions worked perfectly. Very impressed. I’m only 15 and I had no problem with it, not to say that 15 yr olds are stupid.. ANYWHO!.. great stuff. Thanx
March 17th, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Hey i have a problem well its about my sim card and i have tmobile and its asking me about “different sim detected” so i you can please help me!!!!
March 19th, 2009 at 11:21 am
does this fully unlock the iphone.. where i can use my US carrier and then if i go out of the country like asia i can just pop in an asian sim card without having to redo all of this? if anyone can answer that question i would appreciate it.
March 19th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
i got the same problem as #223 person do. it say tmobile on the top and stuff but only saying emg call. i cant access nothing esle
March 19th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Well i just found the problem. YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR SIM CARD IN THE PHONE WHILE YOU DOING ALL THOSE STEPS AND STUFF. BEFORE YOU LIKE STOP USING QUICKPWN MAKE SURE YOUR SIMCARD IS IN THE PHONE I JUST FIGURE IT OUT
March 20th, 2009 at 10:05 am
JARRR!!! #10 was the key for me to getting my AT&T iPhone unlocked onto T-Mobile prepay. This actually had a disabled AT&T SIM at first because I upgraded to the 3G 6 months ago. I had the different SIM problem at first until I found comment #10. I had to use my AT&T SIM to connect to iTunes and initiate a Restore, but IMPORTANT: I closed iTunes while the iPhone was rebooting after the restore (before it could activate via AT&T), put in my T-Mobile SIM and then ran QuickPwn selecting only the unlock option. When it was done and phone finally rebooted, it was up and running on T-Mobile! Yes! Thanks everyone! Now I’m ready for iPhone OS 3.0…
March 20th, 2009 at 10:21 am
… and even though I had to do a full restore (wipe out all my info and media), after I successfully unlocked, I was able to restore from the previous backup (even though it was from when I had AT&T and associated with a different phone #) and get all my stuff back. It just takes a while…
March 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 am
Just wanted to say thank you very much !! Works like a dream !! Friend did update his unlocked phone to 2.2.1 and was sim-locked again. But after following these instructions his iphone works again and is sim-lock free. Big “A+” for your help.
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:13 pm
thank you vary much. It realy rocks.
As Comment #10 says: The crutial part is the iPhone firmware must never have been activated via iTunes in the first place otherwise it will always fail when you change SIM cards.
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:40 am
HI, I HAVE A 2G IPHONE I FOLLOW ALL THE PROCESS TO UNLOCKED THE IPHONE, IT READS T-MOBIL AND ATT SIMCARD BUT STILL SAYS EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY. I CAN`T GET ACCESS TO FULL MENU (ICON APPICATIONS ) please hep

March 29th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
My iPhone malfunctioned an was on “Emergency Only” mode. This worked like a dream, thank you so much! Only, for me, connecting the phone and THEN launching QuickPwn worked, not the other way around, but that’s just a small detail.
Keep it up!!

April 2nd, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Worked like a charm..thank you sooo much.You saved me a lot of headache and money. Thanks again.-uae
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
So once the phone is unlocked, I can put a T-Mobile Sim card inside of it then use my T-Mobile plan on that phone, correct? The only problem is I don’t have T-Mobile service right now or a T-Mobile sim card. Do I have to buy a T-Mobile plan then ask them to send me a sim card, or do I have to buy a T-Mobile plan then get one of those free phones, then take out the sim card from there and insert it inside the iphone?
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Thanks a lot guys! I was using an iphone 2G 1.1.4, and my cousin who had got it unlocked had warned not to upgrade.. But with the AppStore, I couldnt resist
This worked like a dream, but I had to do it like 20 times .. The tricky part was step 10. I solved it by looking at an actual clock and counting instead of relying on the counter provided by QuickPwn. Also I had the sim card inserted. Hope this helps someone! Thanks again, and Thank You Jesus! 
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:47 pm
yeah it works so cool by the way the top part of the screen doesn’t work….. do u know how to fix it I don’t have warrenty

April 4th, 2009 at 3:06 am
I keep getting this stupid message.. 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”. tried in another pc and still the same
April 4th, 2009 at 3:07 am
the phone refuses to go into dfu mode.. any help will be apreciated.
April 4th, 2009 at 6:16 am

thanks a million! i picked up my friends used iphone 1st gen for 40 bucks went to tmobile picked up a pre paid month to month base data and minute plan and now i have cool iphone!!!! i will be donating asap!
April 5th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I have a First Gen iPhone (2g) which is not activated and the SIM inside it is a deactivated SIM. I just upgraded it 2.2.1. I don’t have a T-Mobile SIM.
First Question: My question is, can I still Jailbreak/Unlock it without an activated SIM? Or can I only Jailbreak it? Or neither?
Another question I have is: Will unlocking allow me to use this phone with AT&T WITHOUT a data plan, and only WiFi? Or will AT&T find out and begin charging me?
April 6th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Thank You! This works very well. I had the difficulty with the sim card as described by several others. This is how I was able to overcome that issue. First, you have to make sure you have the 2.2.1xx on your itunes on your computer. The best thing to do is to take the firmware file you already downloaded and go to your itunes and upload it as the firmware for your iphone to run on. This means you need to take out the sim from the phone, connect it to your itunes, go to the firmware screen in Itunes, use the shift key and click on the button to change the firmware, and upload the firmware file you have already downloaded. OK that was the hard part. Now close itunes, put your sim in your phone, and start here on step 1 and you should be good to go. Most of the problems are due to the firmware in itunes or that you have itunes open when you go through the process. If you have tried the process listed above more than 5 times you need to search for more technical reasons why it is not working. There are other sites with great info and a different perspective or way to describe the process. Dont give up yet. Thanks
April 6th, 2009 at 11:22 am
IS Quickpwn the best jailbreak 4 iphone 2g? I want 2 get customizer on my phone, but I need 2 jailbreak it first! Please help me now! My friend has customizer and its sooo cool
April 6th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
coment 223 work for mee i ,had the same problem emergency call
April 7th, 2009 at 3:51 am
The best way to do this is follow comment number 10, 2.1 or 2.2.1 doesnt matter. I put a different sim (of my choice) and put the phone in DFU mode, restored factory settings and denied updating carrier settings on the itunes. then followed this guide word for word. Hope this helps. Follow comment number 10
April 7th, 2009 at 8:34 am
This really works! My iphone 2g was locked after I updated software on itunes. I restored the phone using itunes hoping that that would allow me to use my phone, but all I did was erase all of my data. I tried two other jailbreak programs, which did not work. Finally, after 8 weeks of searching the internet, I found this one and jailbroke and unlocked my iphone on April 2. It worked perfectly. My iphone was unlocked in less than 10 minutes and I was able to install cydia and installer. Keep up the good work!
April 7th, 2009 at 8:41 am
I didn’t have to use the firmware ipsw at all because I restored my phone to factory settings using itunes before I began to jailbreak and the firmware restored was 2.2.1. It’s really important that you disable all itunes and apple programs on your computer, otherwise when you connect your phone, itunes will open and interfere with the jailbreaking process. Also, pay close attention at step 10. The screen will prompt you by highlighting the step you should be taking when it’s time to hold down the home and power buttons. Don’t hold down those buttons until prompted to do so.
April 7th, 2009 at 9:07 am
A couple more things – insert the sim card that you want to use when you restore the phone at itunes. Once restore is complete, itunes message will say sim not supported. Close itunes and disable it on your computer, and then begin quickpwn process. Even though I live in The Bahamas, my phone works with the local service provide “BTC”. No glitches so far. I’m so happy that my “toy” is working again.
April 7th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
the top part of rthe screen on my phone doesn’t work what I do …crying…….
April 7th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
thank you so much! i searched everywhere for something like this
its really good for those of you in same situation as i was which is i upgraded to 2.2.1 and it said “DOES NOT RECOGNIZE SIM CARD” or something like that the only hard part is the last but it definatly works have faith and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
THANK YOU!!!
April 10th, 2009 at 4:47 am
this is really great. very clear and easy to follow instructions… comment 10 was of help as well.. thank you soooo much…
April 10th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Wow. After reading the article and 282+ comments, i decided to give it a go from 1.4. Had some problems due to firmware 1.4. I updated from iTune to latest and started to follow all the instructions. It worked smoothly and no problems at all.
Great article!!!!! Thank you very much ^____^
April 13th, 2009 at 7:48 am
Worked perfect and was EASY!!! Have no clue why anyone here had any problems..probably did not follow instructions correctly.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
well i installed it but my iphone is stuck on a black screen with a pineapple
April 15th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Wow!!! Piece of cake, but it took me most the morning to do it! And, I thought I screwed up the phone. Bought a phone new/used, a 2G that had never been used and although I am an AT&T user, I didn’t want to go through their process and procedure plan (new 2-yr contract and data package expense) so wanted to unlock the phone and just drop my SIM card in the phone. Everything worked well as far as Jailbreaking and Unlocking…EXCEPT during the latter process I was holding down the “HOLD” key on my keyboard, not the “hold” button on the phone!!!
I only discovered that is was the “hold” key on the phone when watching a YouTube demo on restoring the iPhone setting which I thought I needed to do. Duh!!! Needless to say, the Pwnage program kept coming up with an error message since I was pressing the keyboard, not the phone button!
Anyway, thanks for the tutorial!!! But man, at 49-years-old, I feel like such a rookie when it comes to this type of stuff and my missing the mark about which “hold” button to use.
April 18th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I Do not want to unlock my iphone, i have a contract with ATT but i want the installer and Cydia, what do i do? I tried one time and my phone went to the apple logo and i got scared and restored it real quick, i think i almost effed up my fone… but after finding this i want to try again… im a n00b and i dont wanna eff up my fone forever…. help please!
April 19th, 2009 at 7:17 am
This program is amazing! If everyone has the patience and doesnt mess with it while it is being jailbroken THIS WILL WORK! The only issue I had was apparently something with iTunes being active. I waited until it timed out and Quickpwn worked. VERY EXCITE!!
April 23rd, 2009 at 5:29 pm
THANK YOU!!!!!

You have to restore the firmware before you can unlock it successfully
April 28th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Hi,
I am having an iphone 2G with firmware 2.2.1. I was trying to unlock it via the procedure using quickpwn.
During the initial step while clicking the shift + restore, itunes is bit asking for the ipsw file but checking the intenet for the firmware. I tried to disable the internet but gets the meesage that “make sure that the settings are correct and your network connection is alive, then try again’
Please advise what need to be done.
Thanks & regards, Salish
April 29th, 2009 at 3:34 am
Hi, I tried this, iphone 2g. from 1.4 to 2.2. Really worked at first try!!! Im so happy! thank you sooo much.
April 30th, 2009 at 8:17 am
After one or two tries it worked beautifully, but when I connect to the itunes on my laptop itunes tries to “restore” software. Will restoring it re-lock the iphone? I need to connect to it so that I can load my music library. Anyone know the answer?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:54 am
hi great blog……ive followed the steps and jailbroken and unlocked my iphone 2g….i get t-mobile and full reception but i just cant make calls or send txt….anyone got any information which may help my problem!!!! thanx
May 5th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
for all those that T-Mobile user that had the error with the emergency call only, here what i did after many hours of agony, i inserted my friends AT&T card, open iTunes, tell iTunes that you want to restore the phone after answering the first question, remove the AT&T card and insert your T-Mobile card, the hit restored on the second question, after the phone finishes it will reboot make sure you close iTunes after that, then follow all the instructions above with your T-Mobile card in it and wa la…
May 6th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
one thing not in the instructions that is a MUST! Insert the SIM you are going to use then do a restore from within Itunes. Then DO NOT register the iphone. Shut down itunes and commence with the Pawnge process just as it is described. It will work!
May 6th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Thanks so so so much. you are a star. i did it from my Mac and now my iphone back to unlocked.
May 6th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
i love you
May 6th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
sorry, still have a problem, my sim card didnt work on my unlocked iphone. could anyone advise me what to do. thanks
May 7th, 2009 at 4:31 am
Hi, I have unlocked my 2G phone which is on version 1.1.2 & what I’d like to do is to upgrade to at least version 2.0 ! Can you tell me how to do this ? Many thanks
May 7th, 2009 at 4:34 am
I LOVE YOU , keep your sim card that YOU WANT inside while doing this
May 7th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Do we need to stop the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe service as well? Should we stop it from Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Services? If we stop it then it goes back in “Automatic” mode. Do we need to change that mode as well?
Or, can we skip stopping/killing AppleMobileDeviceService.exe service while starting step no. 2 i.e. “Launch QuickPwn”.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Thanks Amar (comment 91) for the clarification.
May 8th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
i have been looking allll overrrrrrr for a place to unlock my iphone

May 9th, 2009 at 6:40 am
Amazing man!!! Thanks a lot.
May 9th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hey, I tried unlocking my 2G phone using the QuickPwn-225-2. Everything went on smooth when I put on Tmobile SIM in my iphone, the left top corner shows full signal… calls out as tmobile… got a message I have an voicemail but reads “SIM card not accepted”… allows only emergency calls…
Do I need to call Tmobile to unlock my SIM before I install it in my iPhone?
May 9th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I got it working.. just follow the steps from #205 before starting the unlock process… my iphone works like a charm..
thanks folks… and for the newbees… happy..”un”-locking…
May 10th, 2009 at 6:00 pm

May 19th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Hi, I have an unusual problem with my iphone 2g. I followed these instructions and made it work, but after 3-4 days the phone freezes and locks up again. Then I have to restore it with itunes and unlock again with quickpwn. I tried this several times, always with the same result. It just stops working after a few days. Andy advice? Thanks
May 20th, 2009 at 12:21 am
Thank you guys very very much. I have the original 4Gb (had bought the 2nd day it released) 2g iPhone. I had updated it to the latest firmware using iTunes and was a little unsure if this would work. Initially before looking at this post I tried a couple of times doing the unlock but as many people have commented, the jailbreak was going through but the unlock wouldn’t happen. The phone after rebooting would go to the Emergency call screen and would say needs activation. When I tried a T-mobile sim (after the process was done) I could make calls and receive but the phone technically was not unlocked – I could not get to the normal UI and other functionality.
So the following work for me (same what Indy has mentioned in post 223.
At this point iTunes told me it could not identify the SIM in the phone and I should get a valid sim from the proper carrier.
And that was it. When it came up – no trace of AT&T. The phone accepted the new SIM like it had been married for ages!!!
Thank you very much to all the guys on this post (I read each and every comment here) just to make sure I may not miss anything and lose my phone doing something wrong.
Thanks again!!!
May 20th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
A little help please had the iPhone for a year now highly satisfied with out ever jail-breaking but i want to jail-break now. Anything special I should do? I have tried this in the past and QwkPwn never recognizes that it is in DFU mode, although Windows “recognizes DFU device” and the screen that its says should be on the iPhone is there!
May 21st, 2009 at 1:44 am
This tutorial is truely amazing! It makes me looks like I am some sort of Pro hacker but I am actually nothing close to it. LOLZzzz :-p Following are the summarized steps in order to succeed:-
Read comment #10, #205 and #223 before you begin the process. I personally recommend all comments to be read.
Open Window Task Manager and disable “Ipodservices” and “Applemobiledevice” before you even start Pwnage.
Follow the instruction listed above and you will be fine leading to the last stage before jailbreaking.
ON THE LAST STAGE, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE ON SCREEN INSTRUCTION EXACTLY! Which means you only press the button on the moment when you are asked to! Hold the button according to the on screen ticking clock to the exact seconds.
I had to attempt twice to get it. My 2nd attempt was smooth as glass ^_^. We are here to help. Keep the Iphone rolling coz it rockzzz!!!!
May 21st, 2009 at 1:47 am
Ryan, You need to restore the Iphone to to the latest 2.2.x.x firmware before you start. Read my post above.
May 21st, 2009 at 12:50 pm

May 21st, 2009 at 6:15 pm

May 28th, 2009 at 1:12 am
walkerz01… Please try steps given in 318 exactly as they are given. You probably need to restore your iPhone to the proper firmware before restarting. What I would suggest is first restore it and see you get to proper function (withou jailbreak and or unlock). Once you get your device back and properly functional as before, then retry the steps again.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:19 am
thanks for the software…thanks for the well written instructions…and YES PATIENCE IS DEFINETLY NEEDED HERE!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Okay I have an iphone 2g and I have followed the steps in 10, 205, and 223. My iphone is already unlocked. I want to jailbreak my phone so I need to know the steps for this. Kevin you said to ‘disable’ those services before opening pwange but I don’t have the option to ‘disable’ .. it gives the option to ‘terminate’…is that the same thing? And everytime I click on quickpwn (the pineapple) I get an error message that says….”the application failed to initialize properly (0cx0000135. click ok to terminate the application.” Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or the exact steps to jailbreak my iphone 2g? I have been trying to do this for days now and am getting nowhere.
May 31st, 2009 at 7:20 am

June 26th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Robert That happened to me and I thought my phone was done. Check online and see how to put it in that DFU mode then restore. You probably got alot of stuff on the phone. i had lots of apps and stuff. Then jailbreak and put everything back onto the phone
June 27th, 2009 at 10:42 am
My phone is fully unlocked but i can’t download music from itune. Could you tell me how to do that. Can jailbreak will help me?

It worked the first time but then i got the 3.0 Update and everything just went back to normal. So i opened Quickpin. The first time i jailbreaked it automatically found the iPhone 1,12.2.1.5H11restore.zip file. So i opened Quickpin and the second time i couldn’t find it. Where is it and why can’t i find it?
July 4th, 2009 at 9:52 am

August 9th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
OK to people with white screen and wrong mode problems. You have to make sure your iphone has to have firmware 2.2.1. It’s a MUST otherwise this program WON’T WORK. If you dont know what firmware your iphone has, you can check the link below and downgrade or upgrade to the 2.2.1. This is the link : http://www.blogsdna.com/2733/how-to-downgrade-iphone-firmware-30-to-221.htm
After verifying the correct firmware version. THIS PROGRAM WILL WORK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM because I’ve spent the whole Sunday and searching all over google. Finally, I came up with the above link and have the correct firmware version and this program WORKED perfectly. Thanks a lot Jeremy Sikora
August 13th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
hey, i just followed all the steps and used the instructions #10, it works perfectly! thnx a lot, really appreciate it! The key is to use itunes to restore iphone to 2.1 firmware (this can b done by downloading it and then go to itunes and press shift and restore and u cud choose the version u want to restore it to) and then go to quickpwn and use the 2.1 firmware u jst downloaded and then u jst follow the usual steps… mainly for T-mobile users.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Hello I have the iphone 2G first generation, but just recently uograded software to the 3.0.1, and I have tried to downgrade using your method and it does not work. It dosnt recognize the 2.2.1 firmware in the folder created. Also, I see that in your pic it shows a music box, but in mine it shows a zip file. I have tried several ways and it seems to be impossible for this iphone to jailbrake or unlocked, can someone please help. Thanks
August 14th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
as with #104 when it comes time to do the timing thing, I just get an error that states that I’m in the wrong recovery mode…and to check usb connection or make sure i have followed instructions. Up to tht point everything is working fine.

September 15th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I really wished i’d known this website long ago. However, I took quite a good step and bought iphone unlocking software from Matt Frank Stanley that operates the site http://www.iphoneunlockingprogram.com . I have personally used their software on two occassions and cannot fault nor would I recommend. All I am saying is that, these guys are at the top of the game based on my personal experience with my recent iphone 3gs.

October 6th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
I stupidly updated my iphone(1st generation) to firmware 3.1. It was an unlocked phone but now when I connect to itunes it wants me to activate my phone but I dont want to activate it.

The instructions were very clear and easy to follow…but my iphone will not go into recovery mode during step 10. The “preparing” icon just continues to rotate. Tried it multiple times.
I think my problem is that I didnt disable Apple/Itunes software in TaskManager(as it states to do in the beginning of the instructions)…didn’t know exactly what this meant lol. Help please! Thanks
October 18th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I just seem to Have trouble with this whole unlocking thing. I downloaded quickpwn on windows for my first generation iphone. When I started trying to unlock my iphone it said I had the wrong firmware so I spent hours looking for the right firmware so I downloaded them all, but none of them work the quickpwn software still said I have the wrong firmware. So I tried redsn0w, its said I had the right firmware, I did all the steps the screen even had a picture of a harddisk it said ‘jailbreaking’ and it had a loading bar I waited a while for this screen to go away but unfortunatly after I did I put my tmobile sim card but it did not work… I need help!
October 19th, 2009 at 2:10 am
When I did this and installed a Tmobile sim card it stayed at the make an emergency call screen! This it said wrong sim! But here’s the thing, I could make and recieve calls but only from they emergency screen. Someone help please!
October 19th, 2009 at 10:57 am
I have downloaded the files from several sources. But every time I click on the pineapple to run the program it says ” Quick Pawn has encountered a problem and needs to close”
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:07 am

October 27th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I have itune 9 version install in my laptop. Will that be work? Thanks
