iPhone | How to Unlock/Jailbreak Your 2.0 2G iPhone (Windows) Thursday, 24th July 2008, 01:07 pm *Before continuing any further please note a lot of users are having issues with Winpwn. We ourselves had issues creating an ipsw. If you have XP, this tutorial will work flawlessly. However, reports are coming in that it does not work wonders on Vista. Winpwn has been updated to
2.0.0.3, hopefully that should fix a lot of the issues.*
Please keep these notes in mind...
- You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes ( Currently 7.7)
- WinPwn uses 300MB of ram at peak due to the ipsw being extracted in memory
- You must first click browse and load an IPSW to use WinPwn (i thought this was clear)
- For 2.0 only the *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work
- If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won't cause problems
- If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix
These are instructions on how to unlock and jailbreak your 2.0, 2G iPhone using Windows and WinPwn.
