WinPwn 2.5 is finally here! This is a very nice jailbreak application. I just upgraded to iPhone firmware 2.0.2 and jailbroke my iPhone 3G using the QuickPwn part of WinPwn 2.5. You can jailbreak the iPod Touch and both the 1st Gen iPhone and the iPhone 3G all on firmwares 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. You can also unlock the 1st Gen iPhone but not the iPhone 3G.

Again, I used the QuickPwn part of WinPwn because I can’t unlock my iPhone 3G and didn’t want to restore. To switch WinPwn 2.5 into QuickPwn Mode just click the Custom icon at the top and it will switch to QuickPwn mode. The steps are really easy and the big difference with this version is WinPwn is it’s design and usability. If you’ve been afraid to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch because it looks too hard, it’s now become even easier.

From what I could tell, I did not have the option to install the Installer app in QuickPwn mode. I restarted the app and looked through everything and still didn’t see it. However, you can add Installer by making a custom firmware in the Custom mode.

Download WinPwn 2.5 here.

    I read in some earlier posts that some people don’t like to sync their phone after updating, jailbreaking,and unlocking because it puts the bugs that were fixed right back on there. To avoid that (and the long wait to sync your music), what do I need to copy with openssh? I know how to use openssh, but I’m not very experienced with it. Can you help?

    benjo on August 30th, 2008 2:40 pm:

    mac users already have a pwnage tool that does the same thing. The dev team has just released quickpwn for the mac also

    Phil, Washington DC on August 30th, 2008 3:51 pm:

    I have downloaded the Pwnage tool several times but can’t seem to pull up the new custom firmware to JB 2.0.2. What am I doing wrong. Can anyone help with this?

  4. Scott on August 30th, 2008 1:45 pm:

    I used Winpwn 2.5 on my Gen.1 phone yesterday and it worked perfectly. The UI is great and it makes pwning easier than ever before!! For anyone that has been afraid to jailbreak before, this is the answer. I used the expert mode to prevent Installer from being added to the custom firmware. Great job CMW and the Dev team…

    [Reply]

    raceluver on August 30th, 2008 3:47 pm:

    yes you can use the tool and u need not wait for ziphone. Winpwn will pwn your ipod and upgrade to 2.0.2

  7. drgothmog on August 30th, 2008 2:53 pm:

    so…no way to undo the ziphone mods and start with this from scratch ?

    [Reply]

    bluebell27 on August 30th, 2008 5:48 pm:

    You can use it . I used ziphone to when i had 1.1.4 and to jailbreak. And when i updated to 2.0.2 i used Winpwn. No Worries:)

  8. chavez on August 30th, 2008 2:59 pm:

    yup worked for me too. Went from 1.1.4(jailbroken+unlock with ziphone) to 2.0.2(jailbroken+unlock with winpwn) in ~30mins using expert mode. It erased all my photos I took with the phone, all previously installed programs, music, videos just to let you know. I’m satisfied with the program. There are some parts that is a bit scary because of the long wait & not sure if the phone was frozen. Recommed everyone to give it a try.

    Can I use winpwn 2.5 to update my jailbroken 2.01 iphone 3g to 2.02 without having to reinstall any 3rd party apps?

    [Reply]

    D&J Dev Team on August 30th, 2008 5:05 pm:

    You can open SSH all of your third party apps on to your computer, then upgrade with itunes and WinPwn Open SSH the apps back onto your iPhone, and your good to go. You will lose all themes!

    mastuul on August 30th, 2008 6:49 pm:

    Can you SSH your preferences, music, etc. from your phone to computer and back as well?

    D&J Dev Team on August 30th, 2008 8:12 pm:

    Yes you can keep music and preferences. First you want to back up your iPhone or iPod in iTunes, all of your regular preferences will be saved and then after you restore it with the Custom 2.0.2 firmware you can select restore from Back Up- Your Name Here’s iPhone. I can not assure you that any third party preferences will be save.

    mastuul on August 31st, 2008 1:17 am:

    i asked b/c I’ve read that people feel restoring your preferences from your backup after updating puts the bugs that were “fixed” by the update right back on your phone. Is that possible, or are people being paranoid? In addition, it takes so long to sync the music files (if you have a lot) after doing a restore on iTunes. Isn’t it possible to avoid that by OpenSSHing those files to your cpu and then back to the phone after restoring?

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 9:23 am:

    mastuul,

    I have not expierneced any bugs putting preferences back on my iPhone, you would be able to openSSH music on and off of your device. But those files are protected and might not play if you don’t sync them through iTunes

    bonedpoop69 on August 30th, 2008 6:04 pm:

    yes, it will unlock and jailbreak your phone and on expert mode everything from creating my own custom restore to restoring took about 30 min

    D&J Dev Team on August 30th, 2008 8:15 pm:

    Yes, as long as its not 3G.

    [Reply]

    D&J Dev Team on August 30th, 2008 9:27 pm:

    You can open SSH the apps on to your computer then back on to your device, If you have the iPhone 3G it is not unlocked. If you have the first gen iPhone and have Pwned it before you are unlocked.

  13. NycPhatDude on August 30th, 2008 10:30 pm:

    i final question,
    is it worth upgrading and unlocking 2.0.2 or should i stay on 1.4. what firmware is better.

    ema on August 30th, 2008 11:27 pm:

    man 2.0x is the best update now i have 100+ appstore they arew so good!

    Scott on August 30th, 2008 11:57 pm:

    I think it is probably worth upgrading. I stayed with 1.1.4 for a while but noticed that Installer and Cydia updates were almost nonexistent. I think the developers have turned their attention to 2.0x and have forgotten about 1.1.4. On a Gen.1 phone it’s hard to tell the difference between .01 and .02. I’m using .02 now but I don’t see any real difference. If you decide to upgrade don’t bother with Installer when you build your custom ipsw. It’s pretty much useless. Cydia is the bad boy of packagers now. Good Luck!!!

    I have an iPhone 3G and have FW2.0.2. Seems more like 2.0.2 was some sort of secret 3G fix from Apple along with “bug fixed”. I actually still have my 1st gen iPhone with FW1.1.4 still running%2

    toNYc311 on August 31st, 2008 8:00 am:

    dang that cut a third of my post off! I’m typing from my iPhone so I’m not typing all THAT again LOL. To sum it up. 1.1.4 runs faster than 2.0.x. It seems one big problem I have is respringing. It takes FOREVER now because of all the icons on the home screen from AppStore/Cydia. This wasn’t a problem on 1.1.4. Plus we had the Categories App on 1.1.4 to help ease the clutter of Installer Apps icons on the home screen. I hope they port Categories. We NEED IT NOW more than ever!

  17. Rod on August 30th, 2008 11:08 pm:

    I used the new WinPwn 2.5 to jailbreak and unlock my iphone but I could not get it to work. Every time I got close to completing the IPSW file the software would crash and just close without building anything or going to the next step. I tried building the IPSW file several times using the software and I could not get it to work. I then went back to WinPwn 2.0.0.4 to jailbreak and unlock my iphone and it work perfect. Does anyone know why this would happen or have any idea what could cause WinPwn 2.5 to crash and not complete the process?

    Thanks

    BigBoss tells how to fix that in the Winpwn 2.5 guide on sleepers.net. You need to change the partition size to 700mb using expert mode.

    i’m new to this jailbreak, but i followed big boss’ guide on his website and when i tried running the quickpwngui and the winpwn2.5 for firmware 2.0.2 it showed a error message saying the application failed to initialize properly.
    Anyone got any tips i’d really apprecite it.

    [Reply]

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 9:31 am:

    I would say that the easy way to do it is upgrade to the regular 2.0.2 firmware, if you have not already done so. Then use QuickPwn to put Cydia and Installer on without having to restore, or if that is not working I would download it again. I am on a Mac but there might be some custom boot loader you need to install for it to work.

  24. Jadeye on August 31st, 2008 10:11 am:

    i still do not see any benefit upgrading my 1st gen 2.0.1 to 2.0.2. although it does have update for the 3G signal, but that does not matter for me, as i have a 1st gen. i guess, it does not make any sense upgrading at this time. just when 2.1 comes out.

    or could anyone tell any benefit you might have in this case with 2.0.2 on a 1st gen?

    [Reply]

  25. Chubby on August 31st, 2008 11:04 am:

    sorry, what i meant was once i’ve downloaded the quickpwn/winpwn and the unmodified 2.0.2 firmware, and for quickpwn i have got the folder ready and for winpwn i have the icon, once i click the icon the error message ‘the apllication failed to iitialize properly’ pops up on the computer and it won’t let me open the quickpwn/winpwn. Could you let me know if this is more likely to be my computer (some software shortage) or something wrong in my method. Thanks

    [Reply]

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 1:20 pm:

    First, What operating system are you on?(Windows Xp, Vista, 98….)
    And I think you may want to re-download WinPwn or QuickPwn from a different source.

  26. Chubby on August 31st, 2008 11:25 am:

    the error code is (0xc0000135), if that helps. Thanks

    [Reply]

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 12:20 pm:

    Use QuickPwn

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 1:23 pm:

    Your Error code is related to a hiccup that happened in the System Folder of WinPwn while downloading, it is a problem that windows caused but if you re-download it should be fixed, try using Fire Fox.

    If you use the expert mode you can choose to install one or both. I don’t see any point in adding Installer since it is just about useless at this point. I used to be a big fan of Installer but Cydia is now the bad boy of packagers!!

    Scott on August 31st, 2008 3:36 pm:

    Update to 2.0.2 using iTunes. After update use Winpwn 2.5 to pwn your phone. If you are not sure how to do this use the Big Boss guide at sleepers.net. After you have restored your phone in iTunes using your custom ipsw, just sync your phone with iTunes. All your pics.,music, contacts and so forth will be restored……

    D&J Dev Team on August 31st, 2008 3:38 pm:

    You will lose all third party apps unless you back them up using OpenSSH, if you back up your iPhone in iTunes you won’t lose anything.

    Thanks Scott!

    After updating, the latest firmware would be the same FW used by winPWN to create a custom one? Afterwhich, should use this to restore via iTunes? Do i understand it correctly?

    [Reply]

    Scott on September 1st, 2008 2:01 am:

    After 2.5 has built your custom ipsw and pwned your phone, open iTunes. A box will pop-up in iTunes saying that it has found a phone that needs to be restored. It is very important that you hold down the shift key on your computer keyboard and click restore in iTunes while holding the “shift” key. Another box will pop-up and you will click on “custom” ipsw file. At this point iTunes will restore your phone using the custom file that Winpwn has created. After your phone is restored in iTunes, (this will take a few minutes) you will then restore from the back-up of your phone in iTunes. Last but not least you will need to sync your phone to restore your contacts, pictures. etc. Good Luck !!

  44. Sherwin on September 1st, 2008 2:45 am:

    Thank you very much Scott! really appreciate it. Just one final question if you don’t mind. I haven’t tried backing up my contacts, settings and pictures. I’m on 1.1.4. How can i do this? Can this be possible before updating to 2.0.2?

    So after updating to 2.0.2, I expect it to be locked again. I just run winpwn 2.5, let it pwn my iphone, create a custom ipsw, then restore in itunes. assuming i was able to back up my contacts, all i need is restore from my backup right?

    [Reply]

    Scott on September 2nd, 2008 4:01 pm:

    Sherwin,

    That is correct. Are you on AT@T? If so, and you intend to stay with them, there is no need to unlock. If you are using a non-contract carrier then of course you will need to unlock. When you update to 2.0.2 iTunes will automatically back- up your files.

    I have the same problem exactly. I think if you choose setup as new phone you will lose everything. Anyone know what to do for this?

    Scott on September 1st, 2008 7:41 pm:

    You have to hold down the “shift” key on your computer and then click restore in iTunes. A box will pop-up and you will find where you saved your custom ipsw. Click on the custom ipsw and iTunes will start restoring with this file. It will contain Cydia etc…….

    Cool, I appreciate all your help. Thank you

    Scott on September 6th, 2008 4:52 pm:

    bsquair,

    The best way to understand Winpwn 2.5 is to “google” Winpwn 2.5 guide. There will be several guides available. I recommend the one by Big Boss or Iclarified. Both are good. Make certain that you have 7.7 and that you upgraded your phone to 2.0.2 through iTunes. Then open Winpwn and follow one of the guides and you shouldn’t have any problems. If you use expert mode make sure that you set your partition at 700mb. Let me know how it works out.

    Hi, I have just winpwned my 1st Gen iPhone. I have upgraded the FW to 2.0.2. Everything is working great except for the EDGE service. Previously in my 1.1.4 the EDGE was working fine. Now the EDGE sign is there but I am not able to open any web pages or get anything in the installer or app store. This message shows up everytime “Could not activate cellular data network”. I tried searching for the EDGE in Settings–>General–>Network–>
    I require to enter the APN name, but there’s no option anywhere. Please help me out with this. Isn’t there an option “Settings –> General –> Network –> EDGE ” like the one we had in 1.1.4 and lower??? Please revert back my mail id is jammy(dot)maisnam(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanx……..

    i bought my iphone sim cardless and unlocked. I first Jailbroke it with the pwnage program off my firends mac. The phone worked fine as an ipod and connected through wifi and the cydia and insaller programs all worked fine. As i began to add new songs from my dell, i accidentally hit update and restore. Realizing that this would take my recently jailbroken applications off, i, like a fool, panicked. i ripped the usb out and the phone went into recovery mode, not allowing me to access any programs or even get into the home screen. Thus locking me out! i have been tirelessly trying the winpwn 2.5 program to jailbreak my phone and get back into the home screen for accessing my pics, vid, music,..etc… The only headway i can make is quickpwning it, but my phone freezes on my custom boot logo screen. can anyone explain to me why this is happening. i have also tried to pwn it in expert and custom modes with no different results.

    Hi first of all I want to say thanks for all your hard work in making this possible. I hacked my first generation Iphone when it came out I loved it but wanted the apps… So I upgraded to app store in the hopes that I could customize my Iphone. Summerboard changes etc. Never happened. I found the Win Pwn 2.5 but I am not sure how you download it do I have to pay for it? or… Just click basic user and when the count down ends it will download?

    Thanks!

    I have an iphone that runs on 1.1.3 firmware, unlocked and like to upgrade to 2.1. However, I do not have legal SIM. Should I need to update with itunes 7.7 before I try winpwn 2.5? Can I upgrade my firmware using itunes without a legal sim inside it? Please advice.

    Hi guys,

    I have jailbroken my iPhone 3G, with winpwn – 2.5 and my current firmware is 2.00 (the oldest iPhone 3G firmware).

    I want to upgrade to firmware 2.2.1, but I am not sure how to do this, without changing my 3G baseband.

    In other words, how do I update the iphone without ruining its jailbroken status?

    Thanks guys.
