The WinPwn Tool has still not been released for Windows users, dont be sad.

The Step by step guide to Jailbreak 1st Gen iPhone by custom iPhone firmware 2.0.1

Step 1: Take a look into my previous post WinPwn 2.0.0.3 and know some basics to jailbreak iPhone 2G & 3G. ( Follow Steps 1 & 2 )

Step 2: Grab a pre-created IPSW Made with Pwnage Tool 2.0.2. Download if you have not downloaded Custom firmware from this link.

Step 3 : Run ZiPhone or by other tools & jump your iPhone into Normal Recovery mode.

Step 4: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find your custom IPSW firmware file.

Step 5: Wait for the restore to complete. you should see bootneuter automatically come up. Your iPhone is ready !

The step by step instructions that Windows users need to follow to jailbreak iPhone 3G is mentioned below.

Step 1: You need to download two files: x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw (from this link) and custom iPhone firmware 2.0 iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw from this link.

Step 2: You need to get your device into DFU mode. You can follow these steps to achieve this:

  • Connect your iPhone to your computer.
  • Turn iPhone off.
  • Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
  • Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
  • At no point will the display come on. Now your restore should work.

Step 3: Once your phone is in DFU mode and detected by iTunes (should be black screen on phone NOT iTunes logo with USB cable), click on iPhone in iTunes, then hold the SHIFT key and click on restore.

Step 4: Browse to the folder where you downloaded iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw and select it. iTunes will then extract the file and you will see the iPhone Dev Team’s pineapple logo pop up after a few seconds, as seen in the screen shot below:

Step 5: When restoring has completed, it will ask you to connect to iTunes, then re-do the activation process (download carrier settings).

Step 6: Restore your backup, this should automatically be made. It should pop up right after downloading carrier settings, but you may also do it by right clicking your iPhone on the left, and selecting "restore iPhone".

This procedure should jailbreak iPhone 3G. We haven’t tried it yet but BigBoss over at Sleepers.net confirms that this should work with the custom iPhone firmware 2.0.1. He makes an important point:

"If you are already pwned you can just take the custom firmware image appropriate for your device and just restore with it in iTunes and you should be upgraded and still pwned."

    The Apple rumor mill is once again running overtime on the topic of netbooks. If you believe the reports, Steve Jobs is himself leading the charge. My take: Whatever Apple does, it won
