WinPwn 2.0.0.4 has been released. This will jailbreak firmware 2.0.1. Firmware 2.0.1 has some good upgrades that speed up the iPhone and keep the iPhone from crashing so much. The 2.0.1 firmware upgrades the modem firmware and has not been unlocked yet.

I am in progress of backing up my iPhone, upgrading and jailbreaking. I will update with more info later.

Yeah, I keep getting file not found errors and there are very few sources.. Cydia is awesome, though – came out quickly and has lots of apps. Winterboard is great, too!
Emilio on August 9th, 2008 8:14 pm:
that’s not a fair remark, its clearly in “BETA” so to say it sucks is like looking at a haircut half way into it…. give them time man! jeez!

Does the 2.0.1 upgrade improves the 2.0 synchronization time¿??
[Reply]
thank u mdleers
but how do i add it 2 my ipsw builder
[Reply]
I might just stick with cydia, its more reliable, and Installer has always been buggy.
[Reply]
Is there a reason that when i open installer 4.0 BETA after I used Pwnaged 2.0.2 on My Mac that there are only 4 apps and when I add sources the all load correctly and I can see the apps but when i go to download it says unable to decode source?
[Reply]
Douglas on August 9th, 2008 6:34 pm:
all previous sources will not work with installer 4. It’s is built differently.

Or just use know it all’s source and save it to your desktop! All of the other replies will help, also.
Douglas on August 9th, 2008 11:22 pm:
It’s on our firmware page now
@the704: in windows xp you could find the .ipsw file just here (in case if you let itunes download it already):
C:\Documents and Settings\(YourUserName)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw
this applies if you own a 1st generation (not 3G) iPhone. by 3G the .ipsw should be “iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw”
if you have not let itunes download it for you already, then disconnect/reconnect your iPhone, and itunes will ask whether you would like to update your phone. select the option “download only”, wait while it finishes, and you will find it at the location I described above.
good luck.

What is the Partition resizer?
[Reply]
know it all on August 9th, 2008 8:08 pm:
know it all to the rescue. the iphone f/w is located on a seperate partition to the media files but is the location where apps are stored, or atleast jailbroken apps, so you can resize the size of this partition if the 500 is too small for you as part of the 500 is taken up by 250 worth of f/w 2.0.1
perfect I leave me house and then the new winpwn comes out -_-
[Reply]
Awesome! Something to do tonight!
[Reply]
you can get a tutorial and all off the needed downloads from iclarified.com
Thanks for the quick info about winpwn 2.0.0.4 doug and brooke
[Reply]
Doug,
Looking forward to hearing how the new WinPwn worked…I’m ready to go when you confirm everything’s working.
[Reply]
Douglas on August 9th, 2008 11:23 pm:
Sorry, won’t get to it until Sunday sometime. We recorded iPhone 101: Episode 10 tonight
1601 errors all round! Iphone is now useless.
[Reply]
I tried the winpwn 2.0.0.4 and everything was going fine until it crashed at the end of the ipsw build process…anyone having this problem please help me! I tried downloading the firmware and the winpwn tool from different sites and it always ended crashing in the end of the process:S
[Reply]
Ramon on August 9th, 2008 9:14 pm:
u need to resize the size of the partition from 500 to 504 to give enough space to built the ipsw you see it at the end on the winpwn… this is because with installer included the ipsw is biger that 500…
Ken on August 9th, 2008 10:38 pm:
So how do you resize the Partition?
winpwn 2.0.0.4 will crash if cydia selected on the build.
Even with a clean build, the update fails with an error 6 from itunes, tried several times and each time ends in error 6. Restored the previous 2.0 fireware generated by winpwn and phone works again…i guess I’ll wait for 2.0.0.5
[Reply]
Michael on August 9th, 2008 10:04 pm:
increasing the size solved the crash and error 6 problem, installed and working now on new firmware.
However, everything installed via cydia disappeared, is this normal?
Ramon THANKS A LOT!!!! it worked perfectly after resizing the partition size!!
[Reply]
lokko21 on August 9th, 2008 9:51 pm:
how big did u set it?
Well, I tood the plunge…so far, so good. All is retored (except music) and everything seems to be working great, including the phone, etc.
I resized the partition to 699 thinking this might give me some more space for apps from Cydia/Installer.
Now for the lengthy music install…
[Reply]
its 1G to much for the cydia-installer partition? i dont want to restore agin for not enough space
[Reply]
i already intall it and everything is working fine
[Reply]
Hey…
is this only a jailbreak or will it unlock it 2? (first generation).
Thx.
[Reply]
Douglas on August 9th, 2008 11:01 pm:
it will not unlock 2.0.1 on any iPhone
lokko21 on August 10th, 2008 3:24 am:
it does jailbreak and unlock first gen iPhone
Mic on August 10th, 2008 10:53 pm:
it did everyting on my first gen. UNLOCK included!
thx anyway!
Hi all just pwned my old 8 gig iphone to the new firmware and all is good. I had not problems at all, but I did change the partition size to 750 mb. All my previous apps are reinstalled and working like a charm!
[Reply]
Asa on August 9th, 2008 11:49 pm:
Swampy….thanks… Now that I changed my partition to 750mb NO PROBLEMS! It would make sense for WinPwn to do this automatically if you choose to install cydia and installer. Maybe for 2.5 winpwn cmw can add this….
i dont know guys how you do this, still can not…. still get 1604 error i’m sitting on this already 5 hours and nothing i tryed everything i think if anybody have some ideas… please help me…
[Reply]
mike on August 9th, 2008 11:02 pm:
getting same problem >.< please help
The modem firmware was not upgraded with the winpwn … still on 1.45.00. The iPhone fiemware got upgraded to 2.0.1, but the firmware was not upgraded. My wife’s phone not jailbroken and updated through the regular apple/itunes is in 1.48.02 modem firmware.
Who noticed that also?

Ned Smitty on August 9th, 2008 11:32 pm:

[...] AppleiPhoneSchool and [...]
After using winpwn everything is working except i have no sevice. i cant make or receive calls. anyone know why
[Reply]
Milton on August 9th, 2008 11:31 pm:
You left the activat checked off when you built your custom .ipsw
You need to go through the whole process again but now with the activate option unchecked.
josh on August 10th, 2008 12:15 am:
i did that, doesnt work.
here is the fix for anyone who wants to know:
> Restore your phone back to the standard iPSW
> Create your custom pwned iPSW, do NOT select “activate phone” or “Youtube fix” – only select “Install Cydia”
> Take out your SIM card (this is important)
> Put the phone into DFU mode
> pwn as normal
> once pwned, unplug iPhone, insert your SIM and plug in again.
> activate through iTunes as a new phone (also important)
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 1:21 am:
I dunno whats going on with your situation josh, I didn’t have to do any of that for it to work.
it took me 9 hours to restore my iPhone from back up.
[Reply]
Well, it was about time.
[Reply]
Im still on unjailbroken 2.0.firmware on iphone 3g will I have to upgrade to 2.0.1 before I can pwn? Thanks
[Reply]
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 1:20 am:
No, just create a custom 2.0.1 firmware, that will be your upgrade.
So WinPwn just jailbreaks, but doesn’t unlock, right? In other words, on my 1st gen jailbroken/unlocked 2.0 phone = no service?
Wonder when Apple will come out with 2.0.2…
Is 2.0.1 that much better than 2.0 ? So far I haven’t experienced a lot of problems with 2.0, although there is small minus: locate me button in the Maps is not working, gives a “ginormous” circle.
[Reply]
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 1:20 am:
It unlocks 1st gen phones, just not 3G.
Are you outside when you do the locate feature? It doesn’t work when there is a physical obstruction around you, GPS needs direct line of sight to the satellites to work.
I noticed that the intaller version for the new winpwn 2.0.0.4 is 2.0….. Earlier here they anounced installer 4.0…. Is the 2.0 installer ok to insatll on the 3G with the update? Also is this a later version of installer or an error?
[Reply]
I wish the developers had simply waited. Installer simply isn’t ready for primetime. Installed apps that, after removing in Installer, are still present and functional. Now I’ll have to SSH to remove them. Sigh.
Ton of “file not found” errors also. Plus no sources or apps.
To those who haven’t leaped into Installer yet… I’d recommend waiting a while, at least until the next version release.
[Reply]
asaf on August 10th, 2008 7:09 am:
I agree…seems strange why they didnt just release this when it was done and download it from cydia….”file not found” is all it says…!
It seems like that this winpwn 2.0.0.4 is not as good as the previous version. From what I read, Doug mention that this can jailbreak but not unlock; however, others are saying they have successfully unlock and jailbreak with the 2.0.1 FW on their Gen 1 iPhone.
Please advise someone? and yes, why is it Installer 2.0? Did you mean installer for 2.0 FW? I would like to know this.
[Reply]
lokko21 on August 10th, 2008 3:30 am:
It does unlock 1st gen iPhones and jailbreak, installer it’s 4.0b4-4 so that means for 2.0 FW.
I’ve already upgraded (stupidly) my 3G to 2.0.1 via iTunes, am I basically stuffed at the moment? or can I jailbreak?
read the comments a few times and believe I can’t, but just wanted to get confirmation from someone with more knowledge & experience?
[Reply]
Milton on August 10th, 2008 8:58 am:
You can jailbreak, but there are no guaranties that you will be able to unlock it in the future … because of the baseband upgrade that comes with 2.0.1. The pwnage tool cannot revert the baseband upgrade.
Phil on August 10th, 2008 9:51 am:
Cheers……..will give it ago now, not bothered about unlocking at least for the next 17months anyway…..I’d imagine by then it will be sorted, all I want is my Cydia/Installer back!
Cheers
How do we update the baseband on 2.0.4 winpwn? The option is just not enabled.
[Reply]
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 12:25 pm:
Its automatically upgraded with the 2.0.1 update, you don’t need to do anything.
i can jailbreak 2.0.1 ipod rite???
and u can firmwares for iphone and ipod at ispazio’s webpage
[Reply]
oh and how do i backup my ipod?? really need help!!
[Reply]
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 12:22 pm:
Right click your phone in iTunes, select the “Backup” option
Hi guys everything went well om my ipod touch.. except my mail crashes after about 15-20 seconds… any ideas? thnx
[Reply]
akedo1 on August 10th, 2008 9:02 am:
fixxed it myself!
just changed the mobilemail folder permissions to 0777 worked great! 
also my applications folder moved.. but it linked itself to the new one.. very strange..
I jailbroke my 3g last night, but the result didn’t turn out too well. Email crashed every time I opened it, and about every 30 seconds the phone would beep/vibrate for seemingly no reason.
[Reply]
sputnik on August 11th, 2008 4:43 am:
“…If your mail crashes after you sync your backup, use BossPrefs, more, fix user dir permissions…”
Been trying for 2 days now and can’t seem to get me 2G iPhone into DFU mode.
Upgraded from 1.14 to 2.0 and now my 2G iPhone is at the Activation screen, but was trying to use the Winpwn to Activate/Unlock. I need to get it into DFU mode and have been trying and trying with no luck.
So… can you get it into DFU mode with you can only get to an Activating screen in iTunes?
[Reply]
Y3k-Bug on August 10th, 2008 12:24 pm:
Hit the Home and Power buttons at the same time, holding down both. When the screen goes black, continue holding down the Home button, and release the Power button.
DO NOT DO THE RESTORE IF THE SCREEN ISNT ALL BLACK.
Its crucial that the phone be in DFU mode.
winpwn 2.0.0.4 allows for root size to grow from default 500MB to something larger. If I install both Cydia and Installer, should this be increased (and to what)?
[Reply]
Any idea when iBlacklist will release for 2.0.1? 2G iphone
[Reply]
i get everything working fine until, i go to install the custom ipsw itunes just says “Error” then i have to do a full restore and everthing till it comes back on
[Reply]
take off bugged cydia off winpwn and we be all happy
[Reply]
Wow, after reading most of everyones posts im NOT going 2 upgrade. Seems like there problems everywhere. Changing partitions, no service, etc.
Plus i dont see the point as of right now to jailbreak it once more. I never notice the difference between the 2 anyway.
[Reply]
I just successfuly pwn’d the 2.0.1 from first try.
Took a little while to back up the phone first, then, it seems, even longer to restore.
After reading comments, set my partition to 750. Had 0 problems.
[Reply]
I need a little help I downloaded the winpwn zip files… but for some reason i can’t get them to open….I used winace first…then i used winzip and they still will not extract the files …any ideas would be helpful
[Reply]
installed coming on canny now much less bugged than cydia have not had to restore like I did with cydia on
[Reply]
worked like a charms ladies and gents….actually did it for a friend’s 3g iphone…he got installer and cydia up and running and was excited when i changed his theme and dialer and a bunch of other stuff ( first time jailbreaker lol)
anyways will re-pwn my own 3g tonight with the new firmware….just will be a pain to get everything tweaked the way i have now..all over again….suddenly getting deja vu from the 1rst generation iphone lol
[Reply]
1st Question: If I pwn my iPhone 3G now, and September rolls around and Apple releases fw 2.1, I’ll just be able to update through iTunes to a legit firmware, and then pwn again (when there’s an updated Winpwn of course)?
2nd: One of the steps in your tutorial says we have to use iPwner, and that pwns iTunes. What exactly does that mean that iTunes is pwned? Will an update to iTunes de-pwn it? Do I need the latest iTunes for this to work? If other iPods use that computer and iTunes, will there be any problems with that? Thanks!
[Reply]
Just updated to 2.0.1 and it worked perfectly. Exciting to see installer for 3G! Can’t wait for more apps to become available!
[Reply]
ok, so i changed my mind. Not really. Honesly i mess up the Demontool start up file and was stuck on the load screen for a 1/2 hr.
Anyway I updated 2.0.1 and jailbroke it. (Took 45 min) I took Eli advice and set my partition to 750. Worked perfect… So props Eli.
Everything seems to be working fine. Hopefully it stays that way.
[Reply]
unfortuanatlly I’ve updated to 2.1 accodently (don’t ask) and I have tried jsilbreaking with everything ok sure there are a truckload of reasons but I’m longing for the hood old days of 1.1.4 so now the question is how….. Any suggestions?????? I’ll be checking back in so plzxzz respond with an answer!!!
[Reply]
Hi Doug,
There are people saying this software can unlock 1st gen phones. I’m waiting for your “official” correction or disclaim
[Reply]
Which app would be great to backup my data on 1.1.4 and restore to 2.1 after upgraded. thx !
[Reply]
ever since i upgraded using this my batt dies within 12 hours, is anybody else having this problem because i just restored and went back to standard as it was so frustrating!!!

I really need some help guys and gal, I have a iphone 3g on 2.0.1. I’m using winpwn 2.0.0.4, itunes 7.7 to jailbreak it on vista and i have the right FW as well. I’m not getting any errors at all except when i finishing jailbreaking it i have no carrier. I’ve done it once with activate checked and unchecked i have partition size at 750. Phone works just can’t make or recieve any calls. Could someone show me step by step what i need to check or uncheck not that there’s a lot of choices. Any help is greatly appricated

Hi I managed to stuck my iphone with boot neutrik (tried to down grade 4.6 to 3.9).. so I tought I updating the firmware will help .. But for some reason, while I trying to Ipwn iTunes, itunes won’t “find” my custom firmware?? It just says you need to restore you iphone and load newest firmware ETC.. I ‘m using Winpwn2.0.0.4 and newest Itunes.. What I’m doing wrong. Can I ever use my iphone again.. or is this device complete utter now??
[Reply]
I forgot to press shift
but.. Iphone cannot be restored “unknown error 1604″ do I have a hope..??
[Reply]
bdmfckr on August 15th, 2008 5:29 am:
Yes you do have a hope!!!
Be sure you are in the DFU mode..(I think this is the best way to know you are in DFU mode)
1.Shut down your iPhone
2.start itunes
3.connect iPhone to computer
4. press home and the power button together 10 seconds (9 secs will do also. Keep in mind, don’t press too long) then release power button, but keep home button pressed so long, that your computer (NOT iTUNES) recognize your device on DFU mode (balloon down on the right corner, same kind of away you have connected new device to computer and windows tells that to you (found new hardware bla bla..) ).
Now you’re able to do restore your iPhone from custom made firmware!!
which you have made with winpwn but DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS SHIFT KEY : )
let us know how you have succeeded with this !!
dummy me on August 20th, 2008 1:36 pm:
Now it works!! My phone wasn’t in DFU mode!! (although it looked like)
thanks fckr u r the fck!!!
thank you once again!!
I just Jailbroke and i have no bars or service, what do i do? I have a frist gen iphone on 2.0.1, and i used winpwn. Everything worked i just had no bars.

marty084 on August 15th, 2008 1:45 pm:
You left the “ACTIVATE” button checked, I think. I did the same thing a few weeks back and nevr have the time to go back and redo it so I just restored. Thinking of JBing again today. But I’ll make SURE that button is unchecked before I finish.
