Preparation for the upgrade 1. First, make sure you have upgraded to iTunes version 7.7 and backup your iPhone data
2. Download all the files including Pwnage Tool 2.0.1, bootloader and iPhone firmware 2.0
3. Extract PwnageTool_2.0.1.zip and bootloader to the same folder.
4. Place the iPhone firmware 2.0 file to “~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates”. If the folder does not exist, create it by yourself. However, in case the folder contains other firmware files, please delete them.

5. Finally, connect your iPhone to the dock/USB cable. Please keep connected for the whole process and close iTunes if it has been launched.
Running Pwnage Tool
5. Let’s get started the core part. Go to the folder you save PwnageTool. Click “PwnageTool” to launch it.
Click the image to open in full size.
6. Click “Expert” mode. You’re upgrading the 1st-gen iPhone. So, select “iPhone” and click the arrow to continue.
Click the image to open in full size.
7. Next, Pwnage tool searches for the iPhone 2.0 firmware file. It may take some time to locate the file. Once completed, select the firmware file and click the blue arrow to proceed.

8. Next, select “Bootneuter” and click the blue arrow. You will be go through several configuration screens. Keep all the default settings and proceed as shown.

10. Accept the default filename for the custom firmware. (Of course, you can choose a better name)
Click the image to open in full size.
11. Next, Pwnage will start creating a custom firmware file that will be used later to recover the iPhone. During the process, you will be prompted to enter your password.
Click the image to open in full size.
12. When complete, Pwnage will ask you whether your iPhone has been pwned before. Answer “No”. (I assumed this is the 1st you use Pwnage tool)
Click the image to open in full size.
Put your iPhone in DFU mode
13. Now, the game starts. Pwnage shows you some instructions to follow. You should follow exactly the instructions to put your iPhone in DFU mode. Remember timing is important!

14. By following exactly the instruction, your iPhone can enter DFU mode. In case you fail, don’t panic! It won’t brick your iPhone. I did the procedures twice. To retry, you can just disconnect your iPhone from USB, turn on your iPhone and connect it again.
Click the image to open in full size.
Click the image to open in full size.
15. Ok, your iPhone should appear as if it’s turned off. Don’t touch it. Quit Pwnage and go to the final procedures.
Install the Custom Firmware
What you have completed with Pwnage is you have created a custom firmware 2.0 for your iPhone. The remaining procedures are to use iTunes and install that custom firmware onto the iPhone.
16. Start iTunes and it automatically detects your iPhone is in recovery mode.
Click the image to open in full size.
17. Confirm “OK”. Hold down “Option” button and click “Restore”. You will be prompted to select the firmware file. Remember to select the custom firmware file.
Click the image to open in full size.
18. Now, iTunes will start loading the firmware onto iPhone. Don’t touch anything, keep your iPhone connected. It may take several minutes to complete the process. Once complete, iTune will prompt you that it has recovered your iPhone to the default factory settings.
19. The iPhone will then start up automatically. For first time bootup, BootNeuter 2.0 will be launched to flash the baseband and unlock your iPhone. The process will take around 3-4 minutes to complete. Again, don’t touch your iPhone. Let it complete the process alone.

20. Okay, I believe everything is smooth. You should see your iPhone come back with firmware 2.0 (see the AppStore). And you can sync back your data to the “new” iPhone.

Some useful tips from the dev team:

If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support”
if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.

If DFU restores are giving you trouble, another route to pwned 2.0 for 1G owners
is to use first pwnage at 1.1.4. Once you are pwned there, you can do a normal
Recovery-mode restore to your custom 2.0 ipsw.

iPhone does *not* need to be pre-pwned to be able to DFU-restore into a pwned ipsw — it needs to be pre-pwned only for normal recovery-mode restores of custom ipsw’s.

I have moved my original tutorial for pwnagetool 1.1 to page 18.

If you chose to pwn first at 1.1.4 please follow the instructions http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost...&postcount=435.

Mail application not working at 2.0?

Please restore to your custom ipsw (you don’t
need to DFU restore if you are pwned, normal restore will work now too) but then
select “Set up as a new iPhone” when iTunes asks.

Your first sync will bring back all of your settings anyway.


My Restore Did Not Unlock/Activate my iPhone!?

When pwnagetool asks if your a legit iPhone user this it can determine whether or not to unlock and activate your phone.

If you click on "Yes" (saying you are a legit user) then the phone will not be unlocked or activated.

If you click on "No" then you will be unlocked and activated when you restore.

If that fails you can select the expert mode and just click through to build firmware without changing any settings and it will work.

I myself used the automatic firmware on my US unlocked iPhone here in the UK and it relocked the phone and did NOT activate it! I made a new firmware
and it was fine and unlocked and activated.

Likewise my 3G firmware did not activate even though it was meant to - however as we are all on legitimate 3G contracts I used iTunes to activate and cydia was there and everything else was working perfectly!

1. Download WinPwn (latest version) - Currently WinPwn 2.0.0.2 2.0.0.3, but check WinPwn Site for updates. 2. Download .ipsw for your iPhone, save to desktop:
3. Run WinPwn .exe and install.
4. Close readme which automatically opens.
5. Finish install.
6. Open WinPwn.
7. Click ‘Browse .ipsw’ and select .ipsw file downloaded in step 2.
8. Click ‘IPSW Builder’.
9. 1st tab, Applications:
  • Cydia - you probably want this if you’re jailbreaking, since you’ll need it to install apps, so check it.
  • YouTube Activation Fix - from the WinPwn Site: “If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix,” so I left this unchecked.
10. 2nd tab, Custom Images:
Here you can set custom images for your Boot/Loading (default: Apple) and Restore (default: dock-connect) screens. You can browse your computer for images, and also the online catalog (unless the terminal displayed “Failed to Load Image Catalog” when WinPwn started up).
Not clicking anything will set you up with the default Apple/dock-connect screens, which is what we opted for…
11. 3rd tab, Custom Payload:
Most likely you should leave this blank (which we did). In summary, you can add other applications to your install process so you’ll have them on your iPhone right when the jailbreaking process is complete. For instance, if you checked Cydia install in the first tab, you’ve already created a custom payload that will have Cydia waiting on your Springboard upon jailbreak.
You can browse your computer for them (.tar files) or get them from the online catalog (unless the terminal displayed “Failed to Load Payload Catalog” when WinPwn started up).
12. 4th tab, Advanced:
For this section, just leave ‘Activate Phone’ checked (which is default).
Uncheck ‘Activate Phone’ and continue to next step if you have a carrier-specific iPhone that has already been activated — failure to do this will result in a loss of carrier information and no signal (** see screenshots at bottom of post). Your iPhone will automatically activate itself in iTunes upon completion of the restore.
Unless you are trying to unlock (which we’re not in this tutorial), you don’t need to worry about bootneuter, baseband updates, or bootloaders.
13. Click ‘Build .ipsw’ in the bottom left.
14. Click ‘OK’ once you receive the ‘Successfully Created IPSW File’ message.
15. Now click ‘Ipwner’ button in WinPwn and browse/select the custom IPSW you just created. Click ‘OK’ after receiving the ‘Your Itunes has been Pwned!’
NOTE: If you have tried the WinPwn process and received the 06, 1600, 1601, or 1602 error messages, you probably skipped this step (as we learned the hard way after an hour of frustration).
Click the image to open in full size.
16. You’re ready to set iPhone into DFU Mode.
To do this, hold down the ‘power’ and ‘home’ buttons at the same time for ten seconds (turning your iPhone off), and then immediately release the ‘power’ button and continue to hold the ‘home’ button for another ten seconds. Your iTunes should recognize your device and your iPhone screen should be ALL BLACK. If you see the docking screen, you have hit the actual ‘Recovery Mode’ and need to repeat the process until you get the blank ALL BLACK iPhone screen.
17. iTunes should automatically load and now you must Shift-Restore (hold the ‘Shift’ key on your keyboard while clicking the ‘Restore’ button in iTunes) and select the custom IPSW you just created.
18. Wait for the restore to take place and complete, wait for iPhone to activate automatically, note Cydia & App Store on your Springboard, and rejoice… congratulations, you’re iPhone has now been pwned!
** Here you see a successful activation (by unchecking “Activate Phone” under the Advanced tab, step 12)…note the upper-left corner with carrier information & bars.
** Here you see an unsuccessful activation by leaving the “Activate Phone” option checked. Note the upper-left corner with 1 bar (alternates with ‘no service’) and lacking carrier information.
