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.
- Download the iPhone 2G iPhone1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Custom_Restore.ipsw from us (MD5 sum = 78c77509086458742d06be479cbfce40). This includes the 4.6 bootloader which is a known unlockable version. It also contains Cydia and Installer. The custom boot logos were excluded.
- Connect your 2G iPhone via USB cable and put it in DFU mode. To put it in DFU mode, turn the phone off. Hold power and home together for precisely 10 seconds. Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized. At no point will the display come on. If this doesn’t work, try to press and hold power only. Keep holding power. As soon as you see any display on the screen of any sort press and hold the home button. Hold power and home together for precisely 10 seconds. Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
- Launch iTunes and shift-click on the Restore button (option click for Mac users). Then browse to the custom restore 2.2.1 firmware you downloaded from us and let iTunes do the rest.
Remember, this shortcut is for previously pwned iPhones only. You don’t need QuickPwn to upgrade to 2.2.1 if you can get your hands on a custom restore firmware like ours.

Thank you!
eric:
Follow the directions and you’ll get exactly everything you are asking for. Don’t sweat the details, that’s the beauty with this custom restore firmware – everything has been done for you.
downgrading your offical restoration 2.2.1 to 2.2 custom firmware will downgrade the baseband which comes with the 2.2.1 ?
thanks
Thank You Dears …!!! I am been looking for this update from several days. Thanks a lot ..!! Keep working for mankind.
I tried the update as described. have not had any problems before. this time I get could not be restored error 1600 ???
What do you mean by saying that iphone must be pwned first? Is that using winpwn? If so, it means that first i have to downgrade to ver 2.0.2 to pwn the iphone and then installing the custom 2.2.1 would be flawless?

Ive got a jailbroken custom 2.2 2g-can i just get the custom firmware from here and simply shift,clck restore,select the file and restore –is it that easy?
Good news, i got the phone out of DFU mode and did the restore that way, it is working now! If the phone is is DFU mode and you click shift restore, the itunes has to check some database to identify the phone and doesnt let you install the custom software, however if you just shift restore when the phone is hooked to itunes it works!
Hello, I tried it your way and when i hit the shift then restore,nothing happened.
I have version 2.1 (5F136) Modem Firmware 04.05.04_G.
I have hacked this phone now I want to upgrade to latest version 2.2.1.
Can anyone please help me!

I have a jail broken unlocked 2g iphone. 8gb. When doing this 2.2.1 firmware upgrade/update. will I loose all cydia apps and have to start everthing over again. I have recently installed this app backup from cydia. So when I do all this stuff and let itunes take care of the rest should be prepared to loose everything and start over and also should I take my sim card out. Thanks
