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.
