WinPwn 2.0

It’s here! We’ll be testing soon. Again, no Installer yet, but you want to try it here’s the instructions and downloads (be sure to also read the Important Notes section below):

– 1) Uninstall WinPwn 1.0 first.

– 2) First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder.
– a) you will need the 2.0 firmware file. The one for the 1st Gen is different than the 3G. You can download them from our firmware page or you can click upgrade in iTunes and then unplug your iPhone to force iTunes to download it. The file will be stored in your local drive, usually C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates

– 3) Click “Ipwner” and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash Custom IPSW files via DFU mode

– 4) Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode. If you don’t know how to do this click Here.

– 5) 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.

Important Notes
    • Remove Winpwn 1.0 completely if you have it installed. Installing over the top of WinPwn 1.0 will cause problems.
    • Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes 7.7
    • If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix


Make sure you leave your thanks to the WinPwn team in the comments or at their website, winpwn.com

  1. guess i shall be among the first to try this out…

  2. todd_chitown says

    Will these work with 3G and will it unlock? “If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix” If I don’t have AT&T service (Tmobile)…if I activate will it work with Tmobile?

  3. i download and installed it on my PC, but each time i try to open it, it just gives me a windows error and wont open the app.

    dont know whats going on…

    ive already jailbroke my 3G with a custom IPSW that was released a few days ago, but id like to try this out… not to mention put a custom boot up screen on there instead of the pineapple.

    • did you uninstall old winpwn first?

    • i never had it installed.. all i had was a IPSW file that i replaced on my iphone by just holding shift while clicking restore and selecting that file… that jailbroke my phone a few days ago and worked fine.

    • ChaosOnFire says

      Your download is most likely corrupted, either that or you don’t have winrar installed. If its a corrupted download try downloading it again and extracting it. Should work.

    • ChaosOnFire says

      Sorry just re-read and you said you installed it. Make sure you have iTunes 7.7 I know a few of the instructions for the old jailbreak had you downgrade to 7.5

    • ChaosOnFire says

      Also seems to crash on Vista64 so that may be another issue. I have tried a few times on my other PC and doesn’t seem to work but works fine in XP.

  4. with this can i install apps?
    Sorry but im new
    Thanks

  5. installer 4, installer 4, where art thou installer 4? tomorrow or not tomorrow, that is the question? got a big beach trip this weekend and a jailbroken 2.0 would be nice for the ride, but its nothing to me without… installer 4

    • agreed , good sir

    • i’m no expert on the subject, but dont we need to upgrade to f/w 2.0 through itunes first so that we can have itunes make a backup of 2.0 with our settings so that when we restore to a pwned f/w we can backup our 2.0 settings/contacts/mail/etc?

    • This is what I would do, just sync. Make sure your contacts, calendar, mail, bookmarks are set in iTunes to sync with something like outlook, etc. then do not restore a backup when setting up.

      You can do what you’re saying and that would work too. I’m always afraid of using a backup when changing firmwares. Try it and let us know how it worked.

    • but what from recents, sms, emails and reminders will one lose if they first sync their 1.1.4 iphone with itunes 7.7, restore pwned 2.0 and then do a fresh sync again instead of backup?
      or is it better to 1st upgrade via itunes 7.7 to 2.0 from a jailbroken+unlocked 1.1.4, sync with itunes 7.7, restore pwned 2.0 and then either restore the backup created in 2.0 or do a fresh sync again?

    • Intaller 4 would be nice…. But, it is nothing without any apps that work on frimware 2.0… Just a little food for thought.

  6. is the link to the 2.0 firmware you provided for the 1st generation or 3G iphone?

  7. chuckyboy says

    so when should we expect a new installer

  8. I’m still confused. Please helped with the following question appleiphoneschool or anyone. Thanks.

    1) In IPSW Builder, what boxes should be click if my iPhone is 1.1.3? First generation 1.0.2 to 1.1.3.
    2) On my iPhone scrolling to Settings>General>About, I have the following firmware 04.02.13_G. Model: MA712LL. Version 1.1.3(4A93).

    Please advise. Thanks. Is it safe right now to jump to 2.0?

  9. bigmcq77 says

    i always get an error creating the custom .ipsw…

  10. Do i need to upgrade to 1.1.4 cuz i’m on 1.1.3 thanks……

  11. Doug,
    The link to you posted. Is that the 2.0 fireware for the 1st generation? Thanks

    • When i ran Winpwn2 and used the firmware from the firmware download page on this site, winpwn tells me “be sure to connect an iPhone 3G”…I presume the firmware is for the iPhone 3G only and not first gen that i have?

      If so where do i get the firmware if ive already updated itunes (I cant find the files in the directory you suggest?)

      Thanks

    • The Application Date folder is a hidden folder in windows. To unhide this open My Computer > Tool > Folder Options > View Tab > check Show Hidden Files and Folders.

  12. I wanted to upgrade this morning, but when i open winpwn all i get is 2 error codes saying failed to load like the catalogu or the payload. what will fix this?
    I have unstalled itunes and winpwn, re-installing it all now

    • I have this problem as well. ???

      Dont think it affects the unlock jailbreak process though, just means you wont be able to add apps to your custome firmware. Not that there are many anyways!

      Cheers

    • mine just stops there, it wont let me do anything else, wonder if there is going to be a fix for it

  13. IT WORKSSS GREEAAAATT!! THANK YOU WINPWN!!!!!

    • I take that back!! my mail app doesnt work youtube doesnt work!! and all my smses dont show contacts just numbers…whats going on!!!and oh my sim card doesnt also work :O!!

  14. Just found all the firmwares on ipodtouched.net.

  15. i updated my fiance’s iphone 114 to 2.0 last night with the mac version, thought the win version was gonna take longer.

    coming from the Windows Mobile front i was impressed that the restore maintaned most of the settings on the iphone, even setting for home and work wireless connection.

    not being in the US and not being in a country that you can get a legit itunes account i purcased an itunes account off the web filled with 100usd and i successfully used it to purchase and install applications from the app store, just wanted people to know this can be done since i havent found info regading this matter in here.

    Apple, i am impressed!

  16. seann33uk says

    ha.

    I’ve already pwned with xwinpwn by iclarified(http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1566) and it worked brilliantly.(no custom start ups, tho.) so i’m ahead of you all by nearly 6 hours woot =]

  17. will it work with digi malaysia

  18. Keep gettuing the following error message:

    Failed to create custom IPSW.

  19. I’m just having 1600 Error.

  20. waiting for a tutorial, I really dont know what to do in ipsw builder / advanced tab . . . .
    enable baseband update hmmmm …. bootneuter … hmmm spaghetti hmmm

    :)

  21. Unknown error 1600
    Uninstalled everything, rebooted. reinstalled everything, rebooted.
    now i get Unknown error 1601.
    Bah!!!

  22. Hope they make iLiberty+ have 2.0 support, that is by far the best unlocking tool

    • seann33uk says

      iliberty works same way as ziphone and seeing as that hack has been patched i doubt we will see iliberty unless they follow in similar footsteps to winpwn

  23. A little off topic but once SMBPrefs is ported over to 2.0, will all the themes still work?

  24. frozenalien says

    Works fine for me but I had to use normal restore mode, DFU mode just kept giving me a error :/

  25. Aussiephone says

    No, not at the moment, and a for themes, that’s anyone’s guess.

  26. joao sousa says

    doesn´t work. ERROR 1602. what can i do?

    i have to restore again to 1.1.4.

  27. doug, one very important question: i have a jailbroken 1st gen iphone with 1.4 f/w, do i need to restore it first in itunes 7.5 to go back to a clean 1.4 f/w (clean means OTB, not jailbroken), before upgrading to 2.0?
    because i’m afraid of bricking my phone if i immediately upgrade to 2.0 even if my iphone still is jailbroken.

    to recap: do i need to restore to a clean 1.1.4 firmware BEFORE UPGRADING to 2.0 or i can just jump to 2.0 even if my iphone is still jailbroken?

    please help.

    • No, you can go strait to 2.0, or 2.0 custom firmware, we had no problems.

    • Thanks for the reply. You guys are my number one source of everything iphone.

      Well, I did a dry run on my computer, I almost successfully made my very own custom firmware but during the building of custom ipsw it makes an error. I can only hope that it was my iTunes that’s still 7.5. I’m not really ready to jump on the 2.0 bandwagon without Installer and all my useful apps ported to 2.0. I was just testing it that’s all.

      But thanks for the info, Doug.

  28. 24.07.2008 14:25:55 – IPSW creation failed!

    :(

    • Same thing happened to me. Are you sure your iTunes is 7.7 already? I tried doing this on my 7.5 iTunes and I got that error. But I know what my mistake is and that’s our difference. We have to follow the instruction by the letter. YOU, I mean, have to follow it by the letter as I’m not yet ready to upgrade to 2.0 until there’s really a compelling reason to upgrade.

    • Facing the same problem-fail to create ipsw. my iTunes is 7.7 . Anybody can overcome this error?

    • Yeah – Don’t select Youtube fix – that worked for me.

    • I know what “my” mistake was -> CYDIA !!!!
      Without cydia everything works GREAT!

      I’m on 2.0 now ! ! !

    • Sputnik,

      so how’s 2.0 so far, did your phone function normally?

  29. Hi,

    will you be able to post an artical about how to jailbroke and unlock a 3G phone? am new at this and would like detailed instructions on how to do it because some of these names i dont know what does they mean or how to create them or find them (e.g IPSW)

    your help will much much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    • IPSW is IPod SoftWare (I think). I do know that it’s the file you use to update firmware. iTunes downloads it to do the upgrades and uses it for restores. Creating a custom one involves downloading the default one and then using the winpwn or pwnage software to customize what you want on it.

      However, nothing is capable of unlocking the 3G yet. Jailbreaking is possible (allows access to the file system and therefore installation of arbitrary apps, not just the ones through the app store). Unlocking (allowing usage on a carrier other than the ones Apple has contracts with) does not yet work on the 3G phone.

  30. cydia has a couple of programs available (for 2.0)

    these include: bossprefs, nes flashlight, macman and some more less usefull/for developers. check it out

  31. Wait...What? says

    Is there a running list of apps that are available in Cydia for 2.0 yet? It would be great to have a feed that updates when apps are added, so we can determine the right time for us to upgrade.

  32. Dondesign says

    sorry…I have to learn a lot, I think…what that means: “First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder”. I have an jb 1st gen iPhone…on 1.1.4 now…I’d like to upgrade to 2.0…that IPSW kills me. Thx.

    • Search appleiphoneschool.com for winpwn. They’ve gone through the steps of creating your own custom IPSW before.

      Do keep in mind that the vast majority of the apps you have on your JB 1.1.4 will not yet work on the JB 2.0.

  33. Please inform me if I’m talking about a completely stupid thing but I was just wondering if the anomaly about Ziphone changing your bootloader PERMANENTLY to 3.9 and you upgrade to 2.0, which “I guess” needs a 4.6 bootloader, will the upgrade gives more problem than it solves? Will we be able upgrade at all 2.0 if our phones were jailbroken using Ziphone 3.0? Could it be the very reason that we’re seeing so many errors while attempting to upgrade to 2.0?

    Please correct me if I’m talking gibberish here. Or I’m just a moron toever think about that.

    Because if you can upgrade to 2.0, regardless of the bootloader your iPhone has, then we can say that Ziphone never really harmed a phone after all!

    Am I correct?

  34. How to upgrade from v1.0.2 to v2.0?

  35. will I loose my apps from my 1st gen iPhone?

  36. We need a video….. step by step would be GREAT!

  37. When Ever i want to create a IPSW it always says failed, how do i fix this?

    • You didn’t really supply much information for us to help you there…

      The one thing I’d recommend is making sure you’re using iTunes 7.7, the latest and greatest version.

  38. Mike Zappa says

    This is way to risky and whats the point? Upgrade to 2.0, lose all my 3rd party apps and potentially run into the problem of this program not functioning correctly hense losing my unlock and being stuck with an expensive phone that doesnt work. Plus no installer?? Ill pass.

  39. newbie - 8 says

    i have a 3g iphone on o2 (uk) and am happy with that but want to jailbreak for the apps as a newbie step 1 mentions an IPSW Builder i dont have a clue wot that is i am on itunes 7.7

  40. I have used the software to unlock the iphone, but i am not getting any signal, everything else works but not the signal! whats wrong with it?
    I am putting 1.1.4 back onto it, then try again.

    I am using the latest version of itunes aswell
    Thanks

  41. lots of good info, but i guess someone failed to mention that there are problems with cydia installing on Windows XP. I’m assuming that since i have Windows XP and i run into the “Failed to create custom IPSW” that that is the problem winpwn is referring to on the website.

    if you go to winpwn.com he states that this bug will be fixed with today’s release.

  42. I’m having the same problem as many of the people on this thread. Whenever I try to create a custom IPSW, I get the error “Failed to create IPSW”. I tried to create the custom IPSW from the 2.0 firmware file supplied by this site on both my Vista and XP computers, which are both running iTunes 7.7, and they ran into the same error. I’m wondering if I’m just using the wrong settings, in which case I have it set to “Install Cydia”, NOT “Fix Youtube Activation”, “Use Custom Pictures”, NOT “Activate Phone”, NOT “No Wipe”, “Neuter Bootloader”, NOT Update Bootloader (I’m on BL4.6), “Unlock Baseband”, and “Autodelete Bootneuter.app”. Also, does the custom IPSW builder require that the iPhone be plugged in, because I have been keeping the phone unplugged.

    • if you had read my previous comment; i mention that the winpwn states::
      “Some users have had problems with installing Cydia on Windows XP. This will be fixed in tomorrow’s release.”

      sit tight for todays release.

    • With regards to the custom IPSW failures, in relation to the Cydia install; the custom IPSW DOES WORK when cydia is not installed.

      failures. read carefully please.

  43. Nicholas Canduci says

    Has anyone successfully built an IPSW? I can’t even get that far. I have a 1st generation iPhone, and I am on Windows XP. If anyone has experienced this, gotten past this, or knows how to fix this, please feel free to contact at canducin@yahoo.com Thank you!

  44. I have the imei on my iphone changed to that of my previous phone. If I jailbreak and update to 2.0, will that also change my imei back to the real one, or will it remain changed? (I used ZiPhone to change it).
    I’m looking forward to updating, but that’s one of the bumps in the road I’m thinking about…

  45. i want to jail break my currently 1.1.4 1st gen iphone but the cosest i have gotten was “ziphone” and all this “ipsw” things are a little confusing… i also wanted to ask

    ” i just want to jailbreak it not unlock it… how can i change the settings on Winpwn to only jailbreak?

    • when you make a custom ipsw is when you jailbreak it. install installer.app and/or cydia.

      if you’re not willing to read the forums and do the research to figure out how to jailbreak your phone i suggest you not doing it at all.
      If something goes wrong and you’re already confused you’ll be kicking yourself for trying.

      The process is quite simple, but im not going to repeat whats been written here plenty of times. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

  47. steve anderson says

    someones head want to be on the block

  48. OK, I’ve download winpwn 2.0 download bootloader files, I go browse for the restore get it goes fine. Then when I go to build ipsw the advanced tab is locked, I can only select Activate and Wipe that’s it I’m using the correct file for 3g I can’t even click the load bootloader files.

    Please someone help!

  49. steve anderson says

    found out why when winpwn 2.0 writes the custom firmware it closes before its finished so the 2.0 custom firmware is only 1kb in size that no good to no one

    • that happened only once to me. the second time i made the custom without the cydia install and it worked fine.

  50. steve anderson says

    same as ipsw creation failed like many have reported but it does not tell you its failed winpwm just closes

    • your program might be corrupted, either that or your computer is too slow. It happened when i was running a bunch of other apps at the same time. This also happens if you try to make custom IPSWs in the same session, i suggest restarting the program and/or your computer if this is a continuous problem.
