Pwnage has been released. We will be testing it shortly. This is only available for the Mac at this time. If you try it, let us know your results in the comments.

You can download it here from the dev team or the mirror from BigBoss here.

Here is a great guide from BigBoss

UPDATE: You will need the 2.0 firmware. Use the file you used to upgrade your iPhone to 2.0.

UPDATE 2: So far, not as easy as predicted. Only the 1st Gen iPhone is supported at this time for unlocking. If you’re looking for apps, they aren’t there yet. Installer isn’t even available. Cydia is but no apps yet. There is OpenSSH so you can dig into that if you want :) So, unless you are looking to unlock the 1st Gen iPhone with firmware 2.0, I would wait until Installer and some apps are ported over to 2.0.

UPDATE 3: A few bugs I see. First, you can’t run pwner unless you go through making the custom firmware. Let’s say you’re going to do a second iPhone. You have to go through the process again. If I’m wrong about this let me know. If your iPhone has been pwned before you don’t need to do it again.

UPDATE 4: I keep getting this error:2008-07-19 21:45:48 – Failed to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw file.

    It’s really odd, it doesnt work on my G4,
    then it worked on my G5, but my phone failed to DFU.
    I thought no biggie, i’ll just retry it.
    quit Pwnage> doubleclick pwnage> BAM! Does nuttin!

    *weeeery cunfozzled* :S

    Aussiephone on July 20th, 2008 1:19 pm:

    There is no installer on 2.0 jailbreak, just Cydia and not many apps either. You can’t use some if not all apps from anything pre 2.0

  14. Jimm on July 19th, 2008 7:14 pm:

    Ok.. Got Bootloader 4.6.
    Pwnage made a Restore ipsw on my desktop.

    Now I am waiting to see what School says before I go any further.
    (They can probably write off a new phone if it fails! LOL)

    Aussiephone on July 20th, 2008 1:46 pm:

    According to the dev team, you cannot brick your iPhone under this bootloader. If the phone freezes you just keep trying. I’ve not found one person who follows the directions, to brick their phone, yet.

    1.1.4 apps won’t work on 2.0!!!!!

  16. Jimm on July 19th, 2008 7:27 pm:

    Ya, isn’t the real problem that none of the 1.1.4 programs in the installer would work with this?
    I know a new installer is coming (or included?) but the programs won’t run. None of them.
    Am I wrong?

    [Reply]

    boardopboy on July 19th, 2008 8:50 pm:

    Yep. In fact, there is a warning in Cydia on launch telling you not to expect any 2.0 apps for a few weeks.

    Installer should be ready in a day or two, but you’ll run into the same thing there.

    If you use expert mode it says Installer not supported by Cyndia is. That is another installer.
    The question really is
    What works after this is done?
    Summerboard?
    Any programs?

    [Reply]

    Jimm on July 19th, 2008 8:32 pm:

    I think I would have upgraded to 2.0 first.
    This pwnage is for 2.0 phones.
    Are you AT&T? Did you anser the question correctly when it asked if you were AT&T?

    Try a restore (Alt-Click) restore in iTunes and pick your original ipsw for 1.1.4. Then upgrade to 2.0 then use Pwnage.
    That should help.

    BeckssGirl on July 19th, 2008 8:51 pm:

    hi, I made the same silly mistake..simply create a new custom ipsw with pwnagetool and this time choose no for “legit” user .. put your iphone into recovery mode and restore it like you did before..

  22. Dave on July 19th, 2008 8:40 pm:

    If someone creates a success PWN file and saves it on their MAC will the file work on a PC and if so can someone share??

    yes it should. i dont c y not. ill post one up on rapidshare. then add the link here

    Ryan on July 20th, 2008 12:50 pm:

    i cant do it on rapidshare (200 MB limit), but im uploading to megaupload now. once thats done ill give simple instruction on how to do it on windows based off what i understand from the dev team, who gets full credit for this by the way im just giving windows users a quick break.

    Ryan on July 20th, 2008 12:56 pm:

    unfortunately i found out that its illegal to post this or destribute a modified one and would not want to risk getting this site or myself in trouble so im not going to post. if anyone has any suggestions on how to send this legally, id be happy to, although i take no responsibility and do not gaurantee it to work.

    Any estimate on how long this one process should take?

    [Reply]

    Jeremy on July 19th, 2008 9:17 pm:

    ’bout 11 minutes. ;)

    Seriously though… it did take some time on my end too.

    Just be patient.

    mgk on July 20th, 2008 1:22 am:

    For the iPod touch there isn’t really any reason to use pwn. There aren’t any installer apps so you could just download the 2.0 firmware from the internet and then use iTunes alt-click to restore to that firmware.

    iGlen! on July 20th, 2008 1:52 am:

    I just got a successful pwn, and then realized the same thing. This didn’t do anything to my iPod to allow me to install/mod.
    What am I missing?

  29. Rick on July 19th, 2008 9:25 pm:

    i hope someone can answer this: which bootloader i have to use?

    [Reply]

    Thailar on July 19th, 2008 11:44 pm:

    doesn’t matter. you can create the .ipsw even without an iphone connected. in pwnage you can choose what bootloader you want to use, i recommend a neutered one, then it makes the .ipsw and when you restore your iphone in itunes it will neuter the bootloader when it is done restoring.

  30. akedo1 on July 19th, 2008 9:25 pm:

    ok.. does it pwn the device first.. or does it just create the custom firmware? if so .. can we get a copy of the pwned 2.0 ipod touch ipsw?

    thnx

    [Reply]

    Douglas on July 19th, 2008 9:37 pm:

    Legally, you can’t redistribute the iPhone software, pwned or not. So we will not be making this available.

    Rick on July 19th, 2008 9:48 pm:

    yeah, it´s not legal, but would it work or no , if someone does

    akedo1 on July 20th, 2008 2:23 am:

    you have have the firmware available on your site…. so what would be the difference if its pwned or not? i already have the 2.0 upgrade.. i am just looking to find out if i need to repwn the ipod first or if an already made custom ipsw will work. in the installation did it do any thing first? or just create the ipsw? thanx.

    Rob on July 20th, 2008 2:25 am:

    Wait, I see a bit of contradiction. Or maybe, I’m just confused. Doug, you said that the iPhone software cannot be redistributed, and this will not be available on this site. But, you guys have a page that offers all of the different firmwares except the 2.0 version for the iPod Touch.

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 7:03 am:

    Actually the firmware on my site is a direct link to Apple’s servers. That is the difference.

    akedo1 on July 20th, 2008 11:54 am:

    Doug, i understand.. you guys do need to be carefull..( i really like this site.. it is the most straightforward and honest site out there for this type of info!..would’nt want it to go anywhere) but.. can you find out if that will work?? i think that it will not… because when i upgraded to 2.0.. i lost the pineapple logo and custom boot screens.. so i think it will have to be pwned again to use the custom firmwares…just what i think…

    Ryan on July 20th, 2008 12:58 pm:

    it would work because the original firmware (from apple) is obviously the same for mac and windows. i would send it if we could think of a legal way to distribute. (at least i believe it would work).

  31. SOGSEAL on July 19th, 2008 9:33 pm:

    Not yet, Installer apps are not available yet.

    Aussiephone on July 20th, 2008 1:26 pm:

    No and those who’ve crossed over to the app store, won’t be providing them on Cydia or installer.

    Gigi on July 19th, 2008 10:07 pm:

    it will Jailbreak but NOT UNLOCK your 3G iphone… Read the blog… Doug has resumed it all… And if your not with a Mac, it won’t do anything since the Windows version is not out.

    Same here :/ (on 2g iphone)

    My phone has never been powned, so iI’m selecting NO and instantly comes this failed DFU message. (I’m trying to follow BigBoss guide but I think he confused NO and YES.)

    Do we have to enter DFU manually before the it’s done making the .ipsw file? I did and iTunes starts automatically.

    iGlen! on July 20th, 2008 1:54 am:

    That screen confused me too. It’s just a sample of a message you might get in the future. Click the arrow at the bottom to continue past that ‘message’.

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 11:33 am:

    I was also getting stuck here…

    Ryan on July 20th, 2008 1:00 pm:

    just try again. make sure you are payin attention specifically. if you jailbroke 1.1.1 you would understand this and after jailbreaking a few times afer restoring on that and using 1.1.2 the same way you get the hang of it: moral of the story, just try again because i messed up the first time but the second went smooth and that was the only thing that didnt work for me initially but it only cost me twenty seconds.

  36. sogseal on July 19th, 2008 10:46 pm:

    im so confused with all of this, can anybody tell me how can i get apps for my iphone 3g .

    thank you for your support

    [Reply]

    Douglas on July 19th, 2008 11:52 pm:

    The only way to get apps at this point for the iPhone 3G is the App Store.

    UPDATE 4: I keep getting this error:2008-07-19 21:45:48 – Failed to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw file.

    Hey Doug (and anyone else with the issue),

    The Dev Team Mentioned a work around for that on their blog…

    Quoting:
    “try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.”

    Hope that helps.

  38. Critter on July 19th, 2008 11:23 pm:

    I ran into errors several times, and even had to restore my phone to the backup I did just before attempting this. My problem came from me having the phone connected the whole time. It would never properly enter discovery mode. And when I attempted to do it myself.. it would throw errors when restoring from the file.

    Attaching my phone when asked at the end of the process seems to have worked so far…

    THE APPLICATION DOESN’T ACUALLY PWN THE IPHONE/IPOD

    at the end when it asks you if your iphon/ipod has been pwned if you say no it just tells you to go into dfu mode when you restore with the custom firmware instead of actually pwning the device

It is confirmed and working. Make sure when you are ready to shit-restore you have updated your itunes to 7.7!

    your help in this matter wil lbe much apreciated. thanks

    That would be a no, due to no iTunes store for your region.

    Workaround for Windows PWNAGE users

    ——————————————————————————–
    I have a HP DV6000 with Windows Vista Home and really wanted to use PWNAGE today.

    I modified a tutorial from Hack Attack : Dual Boot Leopard and Windows Vista | dailyApps to install OSX on an old external 80 gig hdd.

    I then installed itunes 7.7 and PWNAGE 2.0 on the OSX installation. PWNAGE worked very smoothly.

    Removed the external drive and boot cd, restarted the lappy into Vista and synced my newly pwned 1st gen 2.0 with my backup. now I don’t have to wait for WinPWN!!!

    Great work dev team!

    Download Neuter on ur phone now and neutter your phone…
    Download Itunes 7.7
    Install Cust Firmware..

    You are on 2.0.

    Guys I have just successfuly pwned my iPhone 1st Gen. I had no problems at all and I can just encourage everyone doing it. It works just great.

    But beware: In order to have this great experience as well make sure you are well prepared. Read this tutorial: http://www.macgeekblog.com/blog/archive/2008/07/19/pwnage-20-jailbreak-iphone-3g-now.html

    Read through all the steps, make sure you know them (by heart) and you know all about your iPhone (eg has it been pwned before and is it activated with at&t or not). Download all the required files (links are provided in the tutorial). Make sure you where they are on your computer. Then make sure you have the directory “user”/Library/iTunes/Device Support (I emptied the folder “Device Support” before I used pwnage). I have used mac os x 10.5.4 and iTunes 7.7 and don’t rush with entering the DFU mode. You can reapet this process in pwnage so don”t rush. And never panik during the process. Stopping while restoring your iPhone can mess it up.

    By the way read the comments so you know what mistakes you shouldn”t do.

    Thanks to the Dev Team and success to everyone!

    so if i want to get third party applications on my phone i should wait for the next version of pwnage to be released???

    [Reply]

    j520 on July 20th, 2008 11:08 am:

    na bro u need to wait for installer 4.0 to be released. Installer 4.0 will run on iPhone 2.0. Then u still have to wait for ALL the 3rd party programs in Installer to be rewritten to be able to run on iPhone 2.0. Its gonna take some time.

    Sent from my iPhone

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 11:41 am:

    That is correct. There are no Installer yet or confirmed apps that work on 2.0.

  64. KappaGirl on July 20th, 2008 10:43 am:

    Done! I live in HK but have had an iphone first gen from when i lived in the states, and I restored firmware from 1.1.3 to 2.0 and then used pwnaged 2.0 and unlocked! If the program says that DBU mode has failed, make sure you have put this folder – library/itunes/Device Support, and restart the whole pwnage tool process again and this should cruise you through the whole process with no prob.

    I am using pocket money as a check book register on firmware 2.0, If I backup my iphone then install custom firmware with pwnage and then restore the backup will all the information I entered in be restored?

    Thanks

    Aussiephone on July 20th, 2008 1:38 pm:

    Yes, iTunes will ask you if you wish to restore from backup data.

  66. Ferit on July 20th, 2008 11:12 am:

    Hey guys,
    I was just wondering if, the Iphone will be unlocked after installing this.
    I mean, if I can use any sim card provider ?

    Thanks

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 11:42 am:

    Only for the first Gen iPhone, not for the 3G yet.

  67. josh on July 20th, 2008 11:17 am:

    so should i jailbreak now or later?

    [Reply]

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 11:42 am:

    Later, unless you are wanting SSH access or to unlock a 1st Gen iPhone using 2.0.

    josh on July 20th, 2008 11:54 am:

    k thanx sooo much

  68. Paul on July 20th, 2008 12:21 pm:

    I Didn’t think you had a mac Doug/Brooke How are you testing? If you are doing two phone that are the same just do a option restore in itunes and select the pwnage restore ipsw

    [Reply]

    Douglas on July 20th, 2008 12:33 pm:

    That’s correct, I don’t have a mac. I was using a friends. The problem was that the iPhone has to be pwned first before it will accept the custom firmware. It seems you have to go through the entire process of creating the firmware before you can actually run the pwn. The older version of winpwn I have lets you run the pwner right from the start.

  69. John on July 20th, 2008 12:59 pm:

    Hey Doug, I had never pwned my iphone before and I used the new pwnage tool last night and it worked fine. I used liberty plus to unlock my iphone previously and all I did last night was follow the modmyifone steps with the pwnage tool and it worked great. But like I said, I had never pwned my iphone before and it worked. You should try again!

    I don’t see the value in jailbreaking a new 3G iPhone just yet, unless you wish to ssh custom icons or wallpapers. I’m leaving my 3G alone, but my 1st Gen iPhone on 2.0 is great. A phonesaber duel is just around the corner.

    Hey Doug,

    I get an error 6 in ITune, fail to restore iphone after I’ve build the package and put the Iphone in DFU mode. Any idea where I’m doing something wrong?

    Thanks,

    Essentially upgrading means we’re dropping all installer programs (for now) in exchange for App Store Apps and 2.0 functionality, that seems to be the only deterrent.

    It almost doesn’t make sense to upgrade this early, especially if MMS and Video Record apps aren’t up to date.

    I’ve had success running the PwnageTool on Leopard with none of the crashing/bouncing issues that others seem to be having.

    The DevTeam have a really solid release with Pwnage, but still leave a small window open for others to claim to be the first to unlock the iPhone 3G for use on other carriers.

    is this process fully reversible?

    and if I have a jailbroken ATT iPhone that has never been activated via itunes, can I upgrade to 2.0 with this method? or do I need to wait for the unlock?
