Guide:
For those of you that like quickpwn but want a GUI, there is one now. This is for those that are not planning to restore. Quickpwn now activates and unlocks a 2g so it is a perfect all-in-one solution.
Step 0: This guide assumes you are already running the firmware on your iPhone that you want to jailbreak. If you need to upgrade in iTunes first, please read my upgrade guide. There is very important information here regarding the update process and how to get your content back easily.
Step 1: Download
quickpwn gui and extract it. Update: for 2.1 use
this quickpwn instead. For this guide, we will use c:\quickpwn. If you are unlocking a 2g, download bootloaders
3.9 and
4.6 and put them in the same folder.
Step 2: Load iTunes and make sure it sees your phone. Leave iTunes running and do not touch it again. For 2.1, you will need iTunes 8 installed. You can get it and any iTunes version
here.
Step 3: Download the proper firmware image (see firmwares page
here for firmware of your choice). Save this image in the same folder with the quickpwn.exe file. For our example we will use c:\quickpwn. Your folder should now look like this (with your updated quickpwn exe in it):
Step 4: Launch quickpwn GUI.
Step 5: Select your device and hit the arrow at the bottom of the window.
Step 6: Click Browse
Get to your c:\quickpwn folder and select your firmware.
It should show you this when you are done:
Click the Blue arrow
Step 7: At the next screen, you are prompted to choose Cydia and Installer. Both are selected by default.
You must select Cydia or your jailbreak will be useless. Installer is not a replacement for Cydia, is not ready, and has almost no packages. In addition, there is still a
huge buglist in installer. In short, choose Cydia. This shouldn’t even be a choice. Select Cydia. Select installer if you want to but don’t forget Cydia. Note, you can also select to replace your bootlogos here if you wish.
If you are not unlocking, skip to step 8.
Step 7a: Unlocking only - If you are unlocking your 2g, select “unlock” here as well. If you are already unlocked and just want to activate, still select “unlock” here. (For understanding of unlock vs activate, read
this).
Step 7b: Unlocking only - Select your bootloaders that you downloaded in step #1.
Step8: Click “Go”
Step 9: Wait. You will see some stuff go by on the screen:
Then you will be prompted to turn off your phone and press enter when you have done so:
Step 10) As it says on screen, turn off your phone by holding power, sliding to power off, and waiting for it to power off. Do not take the phone off the pc connection! If you do, you must start over.
Note: If you are being asked “Is your iPhone/iPod connected to your computer via USB” it is because you did not load iTunes and let it see your phone before starting. At this point it’s too late and you must start start back at step 8.
Step 11) In this next step we need to get our phone into DFU mode so it can be pwned. If you have any problems following the onscreen instructions, then refer to this
DFU guide. The program will help you through the steps but it often takes multiple attempts to get into DFU mode. And, if you fail to get into DFU mode, the app quits and you must start over at
step 8.
Therefore, I recommend that you get into DFU mode before hitting ENTER. Read the DFU guide link and press enter when you are in DFU mode. Then ignore the directions on the screen until it recognizes your phone is in DFU mode. When you are in DFU mode, the app should automatically take over and you will see this:
Wait a bit for the process to finish, and congratulations! You are done.
Step 12) Optional 2g phone only. If you need to unlock your phone, install bootneuter from Cydia and run it! Select “neuter, unlock, do not change bootloader settings, and then flash!”.
