why never online?

Guys, the latest release of WinPwn, 2.0.0.3 has been said to fix many of the 160x errors you guys have been facing, as well as iPwner's problem getting into iTunes. If anyone here still has problems getting WinPwn to work, I would strongly advise trying xPwn 0.9.5 by geeb > DOWNLOAD HERE <.

It's a little more of a cross-platform command line utility compared to WinPwn and PwnageTool, but overall it doesn't have all the bugs and probems which still plague WinPwn, as I have personally experienced under a week ago, especially for those who are having problems packaging the custom IPSW. Remember to read both the HTML guide and README.txt before attempting anything.

Here's what I understand, using WinPwn actually mod the stock firmware to do stuff like activating, unlocking, jailbreaking, and modding. So after restore using the custom firmware we're good to go?

Before putting iPhone into DFU mode and restore, must install BootNeuter and neuter it right?

its not a bug, those innocent n0obie never follow the correct way of using winpwn. most of the error code 16xx popup coz the never press the iPwner function.. lol

The reason i keep getting that error 1601 and 1602 is because i never do the iPWNER step

now very happy!!!

How's firmware 2.0, doing all great?

Mind you, not necessarily In the first 2 releases, iPwner was bugged in the sense that it would either crash the app without getting into iTunes, or it wouldn't be able to copy the Pwn file into the iTunes AppData directory to allow the restoration of unsigned IPSW packages. Without these steps, errors 1601 and 1604 would strike during the restoring process which would mean that iTunes rejected the custom IPSW.

The whole definition of Pwning here is to not only package a custom firmware IPSW containing all the pre-packaged unlocks and exploits, but to also'Pwn' iTunes in order to get it to accept the custom IPSWs.

Before restore the custom firmware on the phone, run BootNeuter and then should I restore back to 1.1.4 stock firmware and then proceed with another restore with custom firmware? That's alot of work.

hey guys

hows things? ive downloaded the necessary files n done up to ipsw create files..from there i hv yet to ipwner it hehe as wat i read on mikelee's im quite concern on the bootneuter stuff..and im assuming the same thing as mikelee and if its right then we might hv to download bootneuter(provided it runs on 2.0) then bootneuter it?

great work uve been doing gengstapo..trying things out..can u list down applications(3rd party) that has been upgraded to 2.0? cheers mate

3 straight post and no one respond to any of my post. I'm on my own anyways.

hi Mike,you dont have to go to 1.1.4.Just go to iclarified and use the tutorial to upgrade to 2.o.Use winpwn 2.0.0.3

good luck

sorry...i discuss with gengstapo now...we reply later...

Sorry, Mike. I oversaw the question. Correct, Hussain. There would only be one reason that step is required there, but only if you've accidentally updated to the STOCK 2.0 firmware. Basically, the 2.0 firmware installs a new baseband, AKA 05.05.04_G. On 1.1.4, it was 04.04.05_G. Anyhow, bear in mind that this baseband has been successfully unlocked, which is why calls work on 2G iPhones already using this firmware unlike how it was with 1.1.2 where we had to retain the 1.1.1 baseband just to get it unlocked for calls. Basically, this all comes down to the way iTunes does a restore. During an upgrade from one firmware to another, iTunes first checks the baseband currently on the phone to see whether it's already been updated, and if the numbering matches the new baseband contained in the new IPSW whether or not it has been unlocked, iTunes will skip the baseband upgrade and jump straight into the software update. During a downgrade, iTunes will retain the newer baseband if it finds that the baseband in the IPSW being used is older.

What this means is, your iPhone's baseband is not restored or overwritten everytime you perform a Restore in iTunes, which is why in the days of AnySIM, we were only required to unlock our phone once, and wouldn't have to do it again even after restores of the SAME firmware. In the current scenario, PWNING requires the baseband along with the firmware to be PRE-unlocked and patched prior to restoring the phone. This means the stock 2.0 baseband (04.05.04_G) cannot be unlocked once installed, but instead has to be 'uninstalled' and reinstalled using the unlocked version. As fore mentioned, downgrading to 1.1.4 will NOT downgrade the baseband, but instead it will allow you to use Bootneuter to 'Neuter' your phone and downgrade the baseband for you back to 04.04.05_G. After doing that, restoring your phone using the custom package will allow iTunes to install the new, patched and unlocked 04.05.04_G baseband. And only then will your phone be unlocked.

Phew, I believe I've just spewed out more than a mouthful. If you're like me and were still on 1.1.4 without having accidentally upgraded to the stock 2.0 prior to the upgrade to 2.0, then you can just get straight to the Pwning and restoring using the custom package. Just include BootNeuter and the Neutering process in your custom package, no Neutering required before Pwning, I assure you Hopefully that clarifies things for you, Mike. All the best!

It depends on whether or not you've accidentally upgraded to the stock 2.0 firmware prior to this. If you have, then read my explanation above to understand why it's required. If not, just get straight to the Pwning and restoring too, mate! It's actually quite simple using PwnageTool/WinPwn, don't worry.

3rd party apps? Installer 4.0 is still on it's way, for now App Store has some pretty good games. Most of the good ones are paid apps, including Super Monkey Ball, Enigmo, Scrabble, Crash Team Racing etc. The free ones are not to be ashamed of either, like the all-new Tap Tap Revenge. Cydia hasn't quite made the cut with games yet, but you can rest assured that tonnes of 'em are on their way, just waiting to be ported over to 2.0 and released along with Installer 4.0 very soon!

I got your error too I think I can help you.
One simple mistake I did was I did not connect my iPhone to my computer
Just connect your phone to your computer and everything will work perfectly
Hope this helps!

Yup. Successfully upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.0 Wee!
Hm.. The desktop doesn't seem to rotate as we rotate the iPhone as shown in videos..
Its quite laggy.. Especially when I am in Settings or Cydia(Scrolling is even laggish)
Not much apps.

I think that's all the bad things about the new 2.0 firmware
Other than that I think its all nice

Correction, the constant lag when browsing through stuff and especially tapping through menus is also a known bug in 2.0. Only occurs noticeably in certain areas like tapping on tabs and contacts for me, about 2 seconds delay. Keyboard on 2G iPhone is still fairing fine, so the lags are tolerable thus far. Hopefully 2.1 will fix this, fingers crossed!
