Hi Talha, I’m afraid Apple stopped support for new firmware updates for the first gen iPhone since 3.1.3 so its not possible to have your iPhone updated to what iPhone 4s are currently using besides its hardware would be a limiting factor.

Itunes 9.0.1.8, 3G Iphone for which I was not aware and updated to
3.1 (7C144) with Modem Firmware 05.11.07. By the way, this Iphone
Was purchased I’m working on a Sony Vaio FW 270, 64 Bit, Windows Vista Premium,
in Nov/08 model number MB702LL.
1) Considering this configuration, can this Iphone atleast be jailbroken
And if so, procedure and download link for the TOOL.
2) Will jail breaking, at this stage, complicate unlocking in future, if
Available?
3) will a jailbreak/unlock for Windows be available for the 3.1/05.11.07?
I’m new at jail breaking/unlocking and I am sure that I’m not alone in
This situation. What can de done?????

Hello, email is walkedthemile@gmail.com

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my comment.

just i am giving you more detail after reading some of the comments

i did use QuickPwn21-1 and was able to get capacity to 7.1 g ( before upgrading from 1.1.4 to 2.0.2 i was using pc suite and podshare and they work great)

the problem even though that pc suite said it made the transfer(music and video) and that shows in setting about meaning that the capacity went down to 5.3

but when i tried to access the ipod there were no music or video as usual with 1.1.4

i Notice the following when i use itune 7.7:

1- itune error message saying itune cannot read the contents of this iphone

2- in the summary it said name : iphone, but capacity: n/a

3- could not use sharepod anymore cause it gets an error with exception system.io error and it forced me to close it

back to iphone I am not sure where pc suite saved the music and video since it did take 1..2 g from the capacity

you mentioned that i have to copy the mdeia back

i tried, but no lick

do u recommend any program to do that, or any clue why itune can not read iphone

by the way in my computer there are 2 icon for the iphone

1- apple iphone, 2 usb video device

thanks, by the way i do have the time to test any thing for you for free

Hi APS, thanks for your comment. I gather from your comment that you have the iPhone 2G which was previously unlocked with ZiPhone, so now you wanted to update to firmware 2.1.

Can I just ask you, after you updated to 2.1 which QuickPwn file did you download and where did you download it from? I’m asking due to there currently being a large number of fake Pwnage and QuickPwn tools out on the web. And the problem you are describing seems very strange and doesn’t fit with what we’ve encountered before.

Also if you downloaded it from the page you are currently commenting on, on our site, then you will most definitely have downloaded the wrong version of QuickPwn for your iPhone, because the file links we have on this page are for 2.0.2 and not 2.1 The latest download links for 2.1 are here: http://blog.gadgetlite.com/2008/09/14/roundup-jailbreaking-unlocking-3/

Please reply us when you see our message, so that we can further assist you.

Yes it should jailbreak and unlock your iPhone, have you tried QuickPwn?

ok so i did all the things that was told and it completed the whole thing without a hitch. but now that the update is complete my phone is now locked. i thought that the pwnagetool would also unlock the phone again??? did i miss something?

Hi Jason, I think I see your problem. Though these two tools will jailbreak and unlock your current firmware version (1.1.4), what you want is to have 2.1. So you see, in order to do that need to, you need to have already updated to 2.1 via iTunes 8 in the first place inorder to jailbreak and unlock firmware 2.1 (hope this makes sense to you).

This process WILL lock up your phone temporarily and you will loose your 3rd party apps if you are running them. Because your phone at the moment is already unlocked and jailbroken with ziphone, i suspect this is where the error is coming from.

So once you update via iTunes 8, I believe everything should go smoothly, as the latest two tools as announced by iPhone Dev Team will NOT require any additional patching for iTunes.

Of course, everything is not without a risk, so remember to fully backup your own data first!

Yes, i am still on 1.1.4. I downloaded firmware 2.1 onto my mac and was going through the process and it told me i had the wrong bundle. I was not sure if i should update the phone via itunes 8 to 2.1 first then go through it again.

i dont want to have to unlock the phone again if i dont have to…..

Hi again, wrong firmware bundle, can i clarify first that you are still on 1.1.4 and have not yet updated to 2.1? If so I think I know what your problem is.

By: Jason

Jason — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:11:01 +0000

I have read the tools, and have tried to use PwnageTool and it says, wrong firmware bundle. that is where I am lost at. I downloaded exactly what i needed to from the correct sites.

So I can however just update my unlocked iphone to 2.1 from iTunes 8 with no problems??

I am funning OS X 10.4.11 on my comp. I am just a little confused here

Hi Jason, thanks for your comment, have you had a look at our latest roundup for firmware 2.1? We have written the tools and all you need to do is update using itunes 8 to 2.1 and choose the appropriate tools depending on what OS you are on.

k, so i unlocked a 2G iphone last month to use it on my T-mobile service and it works great. I am running 1.1.4 firmware and i want to update to the new 2.1. I used the pwnageTool and it told me to find the correct firmware bundle. So i downloaded it and now it is telling me it is the wrong firmware bundle. I dont know what i am doing wrong.

I was also wondering if i can just update my iphone on itunes version 8 to the new 2.1 and not have to unlock my phone again?

I used Ziphone to unlock the phone the first time. Please help, i deperately want to update to the 2.0 or 2.1 version

Hi William Daniel, sorry we weren’t available to answer you previous question but it seems you have got the problem sorted out. We have now published the latest jailbreaking, unlocking guide for the latest firmware 2.1 for iPhone 2G and 3G, unfortunately, the only reliable method available isn’t yet compatible with Windows users, which I gather you are. Please take a look: http://blog.gadgetlite.com/2008/09/14/roundup-jailbreaking-unlocking-3/

We will do our best to keep everyone updated on the latest releases of the soon to come jailbreaking tools for Windows users.
Many thanks!

Well. I was able to jailbreak and unlock the iPHONE successfully. Do you know if I can update the software to version 2.1?

Thanks to all of you.
