apple iphone 1 QuickPwn iPhone 2G 2.2.1 Custom Firmware (Windows and Mac)

The newest iPhone 2G 2.2.1 firmware update from Apple was released earlier this week and iPhone Dev Team’s Pwnage Tool has just been released yesterday. With PwnageTool, you can create your own custom iPhone 2G firmware from Apple’s official IPSW file so that you can continue to run your jailbroken apps. The 2.2.1 firmware update does not contain any baseband firmware update (unlike the 3G). Jailbreaking is only possible with a custom firmware created with Pwnage Tool that adds in the Cydia and Installer programs as well as BootNeuter so you can continue to use your iPhone 2G unlocked. This is great… if you have a Mac. Windows users are left in the dark for now, at least until QuickPwn for Windows gets released.

But if you don’t want to wait, we’re actually providing the custom IPSW firmware created with Pwnage Tool as a free direct download for you to update your firmware without needing to wait for QuickPwn for Windows to come out. This only works, however, if you’ve previously pwned your iPhone before. With this firmware update, you simply need to put your iPhone in DFU recovery mode, launch iTunes and shift-click (Mac users option-click) on restore and browse to this custom firmware and use it to update your iPhone’s firmware. And that’s it. Since you’ve previously pwned your iPhone before, QuickPwn isn’t necessary for you and you won’t need to wait for QuickPwn Windows to be release. If it hasn’t been pwned before, then you’re out of luck and you’ll need to wait.

iPhone 3G 2.2.1 Custom Restore Firmware (Windows and Mac)

The newest iPhone 3G 2.2.1 firmware update from Apple was released earlier this week and iPhone Dev Team’s Pwnage Tool has just been released yesterday. With PwnageTool, you can create your own custom iPhone 3G firmware from Apple’s official IPSW file so that you can continue to run the yellowsn0w software unlock. The 2.2.1 firmware update contains a baseband firmware update (02.30.03) which is not compatible with yellowsn0w. This is a major problem for iPhone 3G users who wish to update to 2.2.1 firmware but still want to keep their iPhones unlocked to use outside of AT&T. This is only possible with a custom firmware created with Pwnage Tool that strips out the baseband update from the upgrade. This is great… if you have a Mac. Windows users are left in the dark for now, at least until QuickPwn for Windows gets released.

But if you don’t want to wait, we’re actually providing the custom IPSW firmware as a free direct download created with Pwnage Tool for you to update your firmware without needing to wait for QuickPwn for Windows to come out. This only works, however, if you’ve previously pwned your iPhone before.

apple iphone 3g 2 iPhone 3G 2.2.1 Firmware IPSW Pwnage Upgrade Warnings

Apple released the newest 2.2.1 firmware just a few days ago and today the iPhone Dev Team has released the latest iPhone 2.2.1 firmware ipsw compatibile pwnage tool along with some upgrading tips. The latest iPhone 2.2.1 firmware update has a new baseband version (02.30.03) packaged with it that is not compatible with yellowsn0w. So if you want to continue to use your iPhone 3G with any mobile carrier you best avoid the baseband update. To do so, you need to use PwnageTool and not the official iPhone 2.2.1 ipsw from updating via iTunes. Get PwnageTool and create your own custom ipsw firmware for 2.2.1 that does not contain the baseband update, then install yellowsn0w as usual. The custom firmware you create can contain Cydia and/or Installer to make installing yellowsn0w possible.

Get them now while they’re hot! These iPhone apps have been recently reduced to the recession friendly price of free! There’s no word when these app prices will shoot back up (usually these freebies are only good for a couple of days as app publishers try to get a little publicity) so make no delay and point your iTunes to the App Store and get to downloading!

Download Ubuntu Pocket Reference Guide PDF Free

/* Filed under Linux, Reference */

ubuntu_quickref

For users who using Ubuntu Linux or are considering switching to this popular distro, this free pocket reference guide is available for download in PDF from the book’s website. While the print edition is available for $9.94 from Amazon, The Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference PDF is practically identical to the print edition except that it’s absolutely free. The book covers Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 8.10 and beyond and doesn’t require the reader to have any Linux background. In fact, it’s particularly useful for Microsoft Windows users who are switching to Ubuntu. Linux gurus will still find it useful since it will save them from having to wade through tiresome documentation just to look up a few commands.
