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.
PwnageTool 2.0.2 is out. It will support new firmware 2.0.1. It will jailbreak and unlock the old iPhone and jailbreak new iPhone 3G. Here are the download links:
Installer 4 Beta is included, it is added in any mode by default. The main installer package management interface within PwnageTool isn’t enabled yet, and will report that installer.app isn’t available, but the actual Installer.app package is added as a default option in both modes.
The latest Cydia is also enabled by default. We recommend to use Cydia, not Installer.
The development sources for xpwn 0.3, the firmware 2.0 version of our cross-platform jailbreaking library/command-line utility have been pushed onto github. DevTeam tested it on Linux, Windows XP, and Windows Vista for both the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G thus far, but since it uses the same FirmwareBundles files as PwnageTool, and we know those work for the iPod touch, there ought not be any problems.
Being a suite of command-line utilities, this release is meant primarily for developers. While you can certainly jailbreak (both 3G and first-gen) and unlock (first-gen) with it, it’s not really something you want to try without reading the lengthy, detailed README. If you don’t have the patience to do that, this release is not for you.
For users this news mean that quite soon there will be a new version of winpwn, supporting 2.0.
DevTeam recently published a video of working PwnageTool 2.0 – for unlocking, activating and jailbreaking IPhne fimware, that will work with the new firmware 2.0.
“Many many hours have gone into this and now it should be as easy enough for your grandmother to use. We’ve added lots of new features, including 2.0 support, spotlight file indexing of .ipsws, canned websearches, installer custom configuration, custom root partitions and various other things that you’ll see on the release. Release date is soon although not this weekend. So check out the video, hopefully it will hold you off until we release.”
PwnageTool works with 2.0 upgraded 1st gen (!) iPhones if they are activated or not.
This is a tutorial, that shows step by step how to use installed Java on the IPhone. Just in case you do not have Java installed on your IPhone there is a tutorial how to do it.
Step 1: Create simple Java application, compile and run.
Create file Java4IPhone.java and put simple Java hello-world code there. I used the following code:
Upload to IPhone. I used /tmp directory. For uploading I used IPhone Browser.
Run Terminal.
Use command java -fullversion or jamvm -fullversion to see if java is avaliable.
Use command jikes to invoke java compiler.
Go to /tmp directory, using command cd /tmp
Compile. We need to specify classpath to basic java packages. If we do not do that, jikes will produce an error (see screenshot). So use the following command:jikes Java4IPhone.java -cp /usr/lib/rt.jar
After compiling Java4IPhone.class file should appear in the same directory. To run use commandjava Java4IPhone
Take a look at the screenshots. Hopefully you’ll have something similar.
This is a tutorial, that shows step by step how to install Java on the IPhone.
What we need is a working unlocked and jailbraked IPhone with Installer. I used latest firmware 1.1.4, unlocked, jailbreaked and customized by winpwn.
First of all I’d like to say we all want to use legal IPhones and operators. So everything written below is for testing purposes only . Hopefully this technology will be avaliable on all IPhones sold worldwide. You also might need to recover your IPhone, so make sure you backed up all your data. I personally did everything without any problems and needs to recover. Everything you do is your responsibility, etc…
So let’s start, because it’s worth it! It’s just one evening and you will be able to create your personal Java application, compile and run it on the IPhone, and amaze all your friends .
There are two steps:
Step 1: Go to Installer and install Mobile Terminal and Cydia Installer.
Go to Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock and set it to Never. This will avoid some troubles during installation.
Run Installer. Repository for Terminal should be already there (BigBoss), because it is in latest Community Sources.
Add repository http://apptapp.saurik.com for Cydia Installer and refresh
Go to Install -> System
Find Term-vt100 – Mibile Terminal App. I used version svn278. Install it.
Go to System again and find Cydia Installer – The Future of the IPhone. I used version 1.0. Install it.
Exit. Restart IPhone. Two icons for Terminal and Cydia should appear.
Here are some screenshots for Step1:
Step 2: Go to Cydia Installer and install Java.
Run Cydia Installer.
Go to Install – Java section. You will find many programms there.
Select IPhone/Java. It will install most of the needed packages, which includes vm, libraries, etc.
Click confirm and wait a little bit.
Go to Java section again and install Jikes package (itwill be probably the only one left). Jikes is a compiler.
Go to Installed Packages tab. Check that Classpath, IPhone/Java, JamVM, Jikes are installed. Several other packages will be there too (Java SQLite, JocStap, etc).
Exit Cydia and restart IPhone. Congratulations!!! You’re done installing Java.
That’s it. The tutorial about using all this stuff is here
