PwnageTool 2.0.2 Jailbreak Guide

Welcome

I am going to show today how to jailbreak your iphone using PwnageTool 2.0.2.

So let's get started!!

Step 1:  Download PwnageTool 2.0.2 from

http://blog.iphone-dev.org  there are 3 links to download the file from on that page.

Step 2:  Install PwnageTool

Step 3:  Open pwnage tool

~Choose expert mode

~Then choose either iphone, ipod touch, or iphone 3g.

**iPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UNLOCKED AS OF NOW!!!!!!

 ~Click the blue and 

white arrow button.

Step 3:  Browse for IPSW

~PwnageTool will automatically browse for the file you updated in iTunes (if it doesn't find the file for you go to:  

finder/user/library/itunes/iphone software update/)

~Click the arrow.

Step 4:  You will come to this screen

~Click the general tab and then the arrow.

Step 5:  General Settings

~If AT&T is already your carrier the make sure the box for Activate Phone is unchecked.  If you want to unlock your phone to use with another carrier (i.e. T-Mobile) then check the Activate Phone box.

~Click the arrow.

Step 6:  Bootneuter Settings

~Again if you already have a contract with AT&T then uncheck the Neuter bootloader box.  If you need to unlock your phone for a different carrier then check the Neuter bootloader box.

~Click the arrow.

Step 7:  You'll come to a page that says Cydia Settings---just click the arrow to go to the next page.

Step 8:  Custom Package Settings 

~On this page you can choose if you want Cydia Installer or Installer 4.0 on your iphone or both.  (I chose to uncheck Installer 4.0 because it's only a beta version and I heard it's kinda buggy-plus you can't really do much with it at the moment, but it's all up to you).

~Click the arrow.

Step 9:  Custom Logo Settings

~Here you can change the boot and recovery logos.  If you don't want the logos that show on this page then uncheck the boxes to have the original apple boot and recovery logos.

~Click the arrow.

Step 10:  Back to the screen from step 4

~You now want to click the build button then the arrow.  

~This will start building the custom ipsw that you will use to restore to.  A message will pop up asking where you want to save the file to.  Choose desktop...it's the easiest to find later on.

Step 11:  Building IPSW

Step 12:  Your computer will ask you for your name & password.  (Name should come up automatically so just type in your admin. password)

~Click OK.

Step 13:  A message will come up saying "Has your iphone been Pwned before?" (I always click no just to be on the safe side...even if it has been pwned before and you click no...it doesn't matter) so click NO. 

Step 14:  After you select no, this next screen will appear

~Now be ready.  This next part is a little tricky and requires some timing...I can't show any pictures because this next part will show you how to put your phone into DFU mode and I already have my phone pwned so I can't go back into DFU mode or it will erase everything.  But I will explain what to expect:  

~Connect the device to a USB port.

~Click the arrow (it might go to the next part automatically for you)

~It will tell you to turn your phone off.

~After that it will say you need to be in DFU mode, and it will tell you how to do that.

~It says that you have to be ready to hold down the Home Button on your phone and the Sleep/Wake Button.

~A timer will count to 5 and when it gets to five, hold down the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake Button for 10 seconds...It will guide you through that with another timer counting to 10.

~Immediately after it gets to 10, release the Sleep/Wake Button!  But continue to hold the Home Button for another 10 seconds.

~A page will pop up saying you have successfully put your phone into DFU mode.  **YOUR SCREEN WILL BE BLACK IN DFU MODE**  If you see the connect to iTunes restore logo...then you did it wrong and aren't in DFU mode.

~It will tell you to close PwnageTool and open iTunes.  A message will come up in iTunes that says your phone is in restore mode and it needs to be restored in order to work in iTunes.  Click OK on that message.

~Hold the Option Key and click on restore.  Find the custom package you built and click open.

~Your iPhone will go through the restoring process like normal.

~When that is done, set up your iphone as a new iphone!  Then sync what ever apps, info, music, videos, podcasts you want.

**If you chose to unlock your phone for use with a different carrier, then let bootneuter and bootloader do their things...IT MAY TAKE A WHILE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE SCREEN TO SET UP YOU IPHONE AS A NEW IPHONE.  DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE DURING THE BOOTNEUTER, BOOTLOADER, OR FLASHING BASEBAND OR YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICKED IPHONE!!!!  **REMEMBER IT MAKE TAKE A WHILE**

Well folks...that should be it.  Enjoy.

*Any questions just ask.
