math1 QuickPwn, PwnageTool and WinPwn

There are so many tools, some for Mac OS, others for Windows, different versions… Complicated. So let’s summerize a little bit.

If you have iPhone 3G, you’ll be able to install 3-rd party non AppStore applications (through separate applications called Cydia and Installer) and run these applications. If you have old iPhone, in addition to that you’ll be able to unlock the device (use with any carrier).

There are two methods: quickpwn and custom firmware method. First one is for quikly pwning and jailbreaking  the device without restore. You should use it if you have unlocked device or an AT&T contract.

If you are Windows user:

  • Go for WinPwn. The current version is 2.5.0.2 (also called 2.5 beta-2). Download here. It supports both iPhone and iPhone 3G, firmwares 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2. You can use either quickpwn or custom firmware method.
  • There is a separate QuickPwn tool for Windows. The current version is RC3. Download here. Do you need it? Yes, if you want to quick pwn and you do not like WinPwn (or you had problems with it).

If you’re using Mac OS:

  • Go for PwnageTool. The current version is 2.0.3.1. Download here. Works with 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 firmwares using custom-firmware method.
  • There is a version of QuickPwn tool for MAC OS. The current version is 1.0.0. Download here. It works only with firmware 2.0.2. Do you need it? Yes, if you want to quick pwn.
    QuickPwn is not a replacement for PwnageTool, they are different tools and provide different features, QuickPwn is for quickly pwning a device, whereas PwnageTool is designed to custom build and tailor the ipsw production process, both tools will be actively developed in the future.

    xiphine XiPhone

    Recently a new project has been started, called XiPhone. It will be based on XPWN. So functionality similar to WinPwn and Pwnage will be present (jailbreak, unlock, etc). In addition to that developers plan to include:

    • Auto downloading of stock firmware files from apple’s site (no need to hunt for it then select it)
    • Wizard based modern GUI (created with .net 2.0), and Vista Style UI.
    • Export of firmware settings so users can pass around an XML file which contains a configuration that works for them.
    • Auto updates to the XiPhone software.
    • Community based wallpapers used for Bootscreen, Restore screen and others
    • Enabling / Disabling of options available based on the device you select.

    Unfortunately, only Windows platform users will be able to use XiPhone.

    winpwn25 install WinPwn 2.5.0.2

    This is the most famous Windows-based utility to jailbreak and unlock Apple’s iPhone and iTouch.

    Release notes:

    • Very very very easy to use
    • QuickPwn Support for firmwares 2.0/2.0.1/2.0.2
    • Root partition resize support
    • Installer support

    • Wizard style interface

    Notes:

    • Why is it beta? It’s just the saying.. Use at your own risk
    • You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
    • Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.7 and above)

    Bug fixes

    • Crash when building ipsw
    • Quickpwn crash bug fix

    Download WinPwn 2.5.0.2: Rapidshare.com

    quickpwn12 QuickPwn updated to 1.2.0

    QuickPwn for Windows is updated. Support for all 2.x firmwares is added. So now you can QuickPwn and jailbreak the device if it is running 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.0.2.

    DevTeam reminds that it is still beta software, so usual rules apply, no complaints if anything goes wrong and use the tool at at your own risk!

    Download here!

    Using QuickPwn does not update the firmware itself, this tool is designed to ‘Pwn’ (the ability to install future custom non-Apple firmwares) , ‘Jailbreak’ and install Installer and/or Cydia on a given device. If your device is running 2.0.1 and you QuickPwn it, it’ll still be running 2.0.1, although it will now be Pwned and Jailbroken. It will also activate (not unlock) devices that are being used outside of their intended territories and cannot be activated using iTunes.

    If you want to update to 2.0.2 then use the normal iTunes update to get to 2.0.2 and then use QuickPwn to Pwn, Jailbreak and Activate, remember that the 2.0.2 update includes a baseband update for the 3G iPhone, so depending what your long term intentions are for the phone, update wisely, of course in the upcoming PwnageTool application you’ll be able to create a custom ipsw without the baseband update enabled.

    PS: Mac OS version is on it’s way.

    202 iPhones firmware 2.0.2 is out

    Apple just released new firmware for iPhone – version 2.0.2. As usual, all the company mentioned was that the update includes “Bug fixes.”

    Notes on the release follow:

    • No new settings appear to have been included.
    • Some users report faster browsing, though this may be due to cleared cache.
    • Typing lag may be reduced.
    • No consensus on improved 3G connectivity.
    • iPod Touch firmware 2.0.2 also released.

    But as always, do not update until we get word on a jailbreak.

    quickpwn03 QuickPwn Beta

    DevTeam created a quick solution for jailbreaking an iPhone. It is called QuickPwn. It is in beta, so be careful. It will allow you to pwn (jailbreak) your device very quickly without restoring!

    Who should use this tool? This is for those that are not planning to restore. It’s not clear what the activation state is after the process therefore, I only recommend this for those that have a contract carrier or an unlocked phone already.

    If you are on a stock device and using AT&T or a contract carrier, this is the perfect jailbreak for you. You will not lose your contacts or have to do any backups. Finally, if you are going to restore anyway, especially if you need to unlock a 2g, you may as well use winpwn or such.

    Currently QuickPwn requires your device to be running version 2.0.1 of the iPhone/iPod firmware. And it runs only on Windows. This requirement will change in a subsequent release.

    You can download it here.

    PwnageTool 2.0.2 released just a day ago. And now WinPwn – iPhone jailbreaker and unlocker for windows is avaliable. The main new feature – it supports firmware 2.0.1.

    Download 2.0.0.4: [Rapidshare.com] [Rapidshare.de]

    Download firmwares: iPhone 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1, iPhone 3G 2.0, 2.0.1

    winpwn2004 2 300x192 WinPwn 2.0.0.4 with support of 2.0.1 firmware

    2.0.0.4 features:

    • Support for both 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1
    • Root partition resize support
    • Installer support
    • Support for WinXP and Vista 32/64bit.

    Notes are as usual:

    • You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
    • Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (from 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
    • As usual jailbreak for iPhone and iPhone 3G, unlock only for iPhone.
    • It is recommended to use at least 550mb partition size to accommodate a space issue that causes some folks errors such as “the ipsw failed to create”.

    How to:

    1. First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder (original are here: iPhone 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1, iPhone 3G 2.0, 2.0.1).
    2. Bootloader Images: 3.9 and 4.6 in it here or here.
    3. Click “Ipwner” and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash
    4. Custom IPSW files via DFU mode
    5. Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode. If you don’t know how to do this click Here.
    6. Once you are in DFU mode Itunes will pop up and then you can hold shift and click restore and browse to your custom IPSW file.
