Firmware 2.2.1 Jailbreak Info – Dev Team

Dev TeamThe Dev Team has released PwnageTool and QuickPwn (for both the Mac and PC) 2.2.5. Below gives you the general idea about the jailbreak for firmware 2.2.1 but, you will want to check out the Dev Team’s website to see all the info (there is a lot more) and to get the links to the jailbreaks.

If your iPhone is unlocked…or you would like it to be unlocked it the future…do not upgrade to firmware 2.2.1.

“This is the low down on our tools for use with the 2.2.1 firmare from Apple, read the whole post in full before attempting anything.

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone running 2.2 firmware and you want to keep your ability to use yellowns0w (or the option to use it in the future) do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version (02.30.03) that is present in the recent 2.2.1 update – you will need to create a custom ipsw that will allow you to update safely without affecting the baseband.
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
6. These apps are suitable for the recent 2.2.1 release.
7. The Yellowsn0w version has been updated to 0.9.7. Yellowsn0w is available from Cydia or Installer – this version allows compatibility with pwned 2.2.1 system (not baseband) – again – remember 0.9.7 yellowsn0w DOES NOT WORK WITH 2.2.1 (02.30.03) directly – you need to be running a ‘pwned’ version of 2.2.1 which doesn’t upgrade the baseband.
8. Users of OS X 10.5.6 will be unable to use DFU mode correctly, please see the note towards the end of this post to easily fix this issue.”

  1. Ok so i am aware that i need to upgrade my MobileInstallation file so i can use free apps on 2.2 firmware.

    Before i upgrade to 2.2.1 using the new quickpwn225; will i have to again upgrade my MobileInstallation file?

    Please let me know!

  2. I have a late 2008 MacBook, so already I have issues. Nevertheless, I was determined to jailbreak this morning, and I did. I followed the Dev Team’s instructions for dealing with a problem with OS 10.5.6 to fully restore DFU functionality. I did the download and install suggested. Then I jailbroke with the new version of QuickPwn. It went as smoothly as ever. One little problem though, the iPhone went into the white apple onscreen mode for 18 minutes before finally starting. I thought for sure that after jailbreaking as many as 25 iPhones I had finally bricked one. But all is well. Who knows what was going on? It started, and it has been perfect.

  3. Just one word…..Amazing!!

    The Dev Team is just Amazing…they are so Freaking FAST with the Jailbreaks.

  4. they just released an updated version of QuickPwn for Windows. it is now version 2.2.5-2, i have no idea what they fixed in it now, restoring to 2.2.1 right now

  5. ok i have 2.2 jailbroken… can i upgrade, jailbreak, and still have all my stuff?? cuz when i went from 2.1 to 2.2 and i lost all my old jailbroken apps

  6. im to lazy. ill stay on 2.2 =p

  7. i hope when i buy my 3g this week its not updated to this firmware

  8. I’m still gonna wait til firmware 2.3 or whatever major update there will be. ;)

  9. I downloaded the new qwikpawn for the new update, but what program will open it?
    It is a torrent file?

  10. I was not aware that 2.2.1 had been released when i was unlocking my iphone 3g..
    Now i have 2.2.1 firmware installed in my iphone..
    what do i do now if i want to jailbreak my iphone?

  11. Anyone perform the mobile installation hack on 221 yet? Anything different than doing it on 2.2?

  12. I have the 2.2 jailbroken version. What’s the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1?
    I read somewhere that it has flash player for safari.

  13. I’m 2.2.1 JB Works Like A Charm, No Issues! Much Faster I Think, Even With Memory Consuming Mods Like 5 icon dock, column, stacks etc., Don’t Have To Use Safe Mode To Play Any Games No More Like On 2.2 Too!, 2.2 Mobile Installation Works Fine On 2.2.1 cuz in Theory 2.2.1 Is Still 2.2 With The Only Difference It’s Much Faster And It Updates 3G Baseband. Anyways I’m Still Waiting/Hoping For Flash :-( Cheers!

    • What program did you use to open the file.
      I downloaded qwikpawn, but it is a torrent file?
      How did you open it ?

    • I Din’t Download A Torrent File I Download A Zip File And Unzipped It, It Contained Quickpwn executable file and some other files, i ran quickpwn.exe and voila Succes!.. you can get the quickpwn from http://www.quickpwn.com/ it’s the official quickpwn website, just make sure to download the zip file not a torrent. Cheers :-)

  21. Hey
    i bought a iphone 3g 8gb today, downloaded the firmware of this site as i wanted to put it onto the 2.2 firmware, went to restore it in itunes and selecting the firmware file, it goes to restore it then it comes up with error codes, i googled the error codes and it says can not downgrade the firmware. the firmware that was on it was 2.2.1 but the baseband was 2.30 i think so i thought it would be find. Tried restoring in DFU mode but does not work :( is there anyway around the error codes?
    Please help me :)
