Official Jailbreak for Windows/MAC

Jailbreak | Hans | January 30, 2009 at 9:22 am

The iPhone Dev Team has just released the official jailbreak for MAC users.

Before you update here are some important things you should read first.

1.  iPhone 3G users:  If you want to unlock your iPhone 3G, do not upgrade to firmware 2.2.1 through iTunes, you must use a custom firmware through PwnageTool (only available to MAC users).

2. Firmware 2.2.1 permanently upgrades the iPhone 3G’s baseband to 02.30.03 and yellowsn0w unlock will not work with this baseband (so you won’t have an unlock if you upgrade your baseband).  You must make a custom firmware with baseband 02.28 using PwnageTool.

3.  If you’re using MAC 105.6 you won’t be able to get into DFU Mode but here is how you can do this:

  1. You will need an account with ADC (Apple Developer Connection) this is free and takes a few minutes to sign up, you should read the terms and conditions carefully and you should only sign up if you are thinking of developing applications in the future – http://developer.apple.com/mac/
  2. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily Log release for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33” (yes, that is a “5” in 10.5.5 – this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).
  3. Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image
  4. Reboot your system!

iPhone 3G locked users

If you don’t ever want to unlock your iPhone 3G then just update to firmware 2.2.1 through iTunes and jailbreak.

iPhone 2G users

Just update to firmware 2.2.1 through iTunes and  jailbreak.

    I am trying to jailbreak my 3g iphone with 2.2.1. I keep getting to the step where I need to browse for my IPSW. I get the message that it should start with 1,2_2.2.1 but I can only find 1,1_2.2.

    Please help.

    I just downloaded 2.2.1 like you suggested. I still do not see the correct IPSW. It is still showing 1,1_2.2.

    My iPhone won’t reboot and it has been 5 hours, is this the normal amount of time it takes or have I done something wrong?

    How do you jailbreak 2.2.1 ipod touch 1g? It just says that quickpwn can’t recognize the IPSW. It’s right though! Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\iPod1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw grrrr

    Aloha guys…
    i have downloaded QUICKPWN 2.2.5 and installed it.
    All works fine except at last stage. it says “Wait for your iphone to connect in Recovery Mode…”
    but then it gets blocked here… nothing happens so i dont get to the part where i should hold down the home button etc.
    Any ideas of what this might be?

      @maverick: It may be because you’re using iTunes 8.2. Make sure you downgrade to a previous version of iTunes because iTunes 8.2 will not work with QuickPwn yet. The iPhone Dev Team plans to update QuickPwn to work with the latest version of iTunes once the final firmware 3.0 is out.

    I am attempting to run the QuickPwn-225-2-7.zip however when I extract the files I get 2 errors in WinRAR Diagnostics; “! …Local Settings\Temp\QuickPwn-225-2.zip: CRC failed in QuickPwn\Data\Cydia.tar.gz. The file is corrupt
    ! …\Local Settings\Temp\QuickPwn-225-2.zip: CRC failed in QuickPwn\Data\Installer.tar.gz. The file is corrupt

    Is there another place where these files can be downloaded? They appear to be corrupted…

    I am trying to jailbreak iphone 3g that already has 2.2.1 installed. I downgraded back to iTunes 8.1, downloaded quickpwm but nothing happens. Am I missing a step? Do I need to go back to 2.2 on my iphone, and how do I do that? I am a mac users.
