something i noticed... when i downloaded quickpwn from the thread starter link (which uses the mediafire) i extract it and a trojan found in the EXE.. scary =.=

Wow..Thank you for letting me know. I'll take the mediafire link off from the post.

Btw, those are external links which was given on thier site when pwnagetool/qiuckpwn came out.

Thanks.

anyway david, i followed the instruction given from the iClarified link u provided but then when i try to double click the quickpwn 2.1, it pop up errors telling me that the program failed to open file, directory or do not have permission to do so. can you help me bit? i'm now stucked in the 2.1 firmware (after restored using itunes 8.0.1), pretty much headache now. sigh..

@LooN

Try to redownload Quickpwn again or maybe download Quickpwn from iClarified links.

If you stiill unable to solve your problem, head over to the link below.

I too am having this problem; I've downloaded from both LYN & iClarified links. Windows (Vista) just does not want to run the program.

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them." which is complete BS since I am running as administrator.

Hmmmm..was searching via google. Not sure if this helps. Maybe you guys need to download .NET framework.

Then download Quickpwn again.

.NET framework is already part of Vista's installation. No dice. Anyone else know what the solution could be?

Im using vista...
Update ur vista tip top...
Download latest Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or higher..
Turn off the AUC in user acc..
Reboot...

peace..

I have Vista, .NET framework 3.5, all my automatic updates are installed, and as a rule i've turned off AUC since day one.

And yet I still can't use QuickPwn. Ziphone v3 doesn't seem to work (sorta gets stuck at 'entering recovery mode' for a long time,) and WinPwn2.5 doesn't seem to have an option for jailbreaking with 2.1 fw.

Can anyone offer a suggestion? I'd really like to jailbreak my phone...

Ive done JB my iphone 3G yesterday.. its looks fine and no probs at all. My phone is from US.

Schattenjeager..

How about redownload the quickpwn..?

I have man. From 3 different sources (LYN, iClarify, and a torrent). It's not the quickpwn, it's something to do with my PC/Vista's settings or something. I'll just have to find an XP PC to jailbreak it on...

hehehe community service thread
i can help ya

maybe OT but i need 2 ask tis..
my current pc is authorized with my i3g..
if i reformat n install itunes..
wud it recognize my iphone n ask 2 sync?

@Schattenjeager
Maybe u need to reformat your Vista. Last time happen to corvinux when running winpwn.

Aha, no thanks, not sure I want to reformat an entire PC just to jailbreak my phone (I just reinstalled 2 weeks ago!). I'll find an XP-based PC to do it, no worries.

Thanks for the help guys!

@Schattenjeager

please do recheck ur antivirus/firewall since it can block program from running and prompt similar error message as yours

cheers

Yeah I get false-positives from AVG on top of the windows error message. I've even turned off AVG altogether, and still Windows won't let me run the program. I know it's not quickpwn itself because I used the very same file off my XP Laptop, and it runs fine.

(And for the curious, the reason why I'm not using my laptop to jailbreak the phone is because the usb ports on it have blown out. The very act of connecting the iPhone to my laptop hangs/crashes the whole laptop.)

@Schattenjeager
Then u better find a good pc to do the process or risk ruining your phone later.

yup2 happened to mine before..i would say its more of notebook manufacturer's Vista apps tat reroute the hacking to another port instead of the supposely is..and it happened to all me colleagues as well..so decided to reformat everything and things are great since

its not only for hacking purposes but other "non-window" application as well

neway hi all
