actually i created d custom firmware using mac for my fren..... he got no mac and wanted to try to restore it thru windows lor.
good thing about pwnage tool is u can resize your root directory........ default root directory is 500mb and apple system file already use up 414mb...
so anyone did try this method? does it work? thanxQ
Added on June 22, 2009, 2:09 pmdefinitely can update to firmware.....firstly u must upgrade your itune to 8.2 then from itune u can upgrade d firmware to 3.0..
then u can use redsnow to jailbreak.......remember dun use redsnow with Vista....
em, thats correct, by the way i think there is nothing wrong if he want to restore using xp because the custom restore is somehow like the original firmware, just that the firmware have been custom made where it was pre-installed with cydia etc.
last saturday i have restore my iphone 2 times using the same custom firmware i have made and after i restore everything works fine for me( expect youtube which i think it was my connection problem in my house) but i restore it using my mac and i dont open any pawnage tools during the restoration.
i believe it was the same if your friend use his xp because the custom firmware is still a firmware and it can be restore using either mac or xp.
anyway give it a try and do let us know so that we all can gain knowledge regarding restoration using custom firmware in xp(maybe there an info from google but better we do it our self to try it out.)
cheers.

i use redsn0w to jailbreak my unit( ichi hand want to try it/plus wanto to restore because want to check if youtube app problem or my line problem) and since the firmware took about 414mb space now my iphone only have around 58mb of free space to install cydia app haha...(because i have install some cydia app on my iphone)
last time i use pawnage i set root directory up to 600MB

. maybe next time i will use bosstools to resize my root directory size when it fulls.
