Jailbreak iPhone with QuickPwn

In these days I tried to Jailbreak my iPhone 3G to install third-part applications. To Jailbreak my iPhone I used the QuickPwn software, which has been updated to support the latest iPhone firmware: the 2.1 2.2 version. QuickPwn is very easy to use and in 7 or 8 minutes I obtained a fully unblocked iPhone. Anyway, to make the not-expert users’ life easy, I decided to write this short step-by-step tutorial. To remember, that QuickPwn 2.1 2.2 can also be used to jailbreak and to unlock iPhones 2G.
To Jailbreak my iPhone 3G I used the QuickPwn 2.1 2.2 Windows version, but the same application is also available for Mac OSX systems.
- Update your iTunes application (we will need the last version).
- Connect your iPhone 3G or 2G to the PC/Mac using the USB cable.
- Before continuing with the following steps, I suggest you to make a full backup of your iPhone.
- Update the iPhone firmware to the latest version (2.1 2.2). At the end, if you have a regular unlocked iPhone, you will obtain an updated and fully working iPhone otherwise, if you have a 2G iPhone you will obtain an updated but blocked phone. Don’t worry! Using QuickPwn, it is possible to re-unlock your 2G iPhone.
- Download QuickPwn 2.1 2.2, using one of the following links: QuickPwn 2.2 (Windows), QuickPwn 2.2 (Windows), QuickPwn 2.2 (Mac).
- If you have a 2G iPhone, download also these files.
- Without unplugging your iPhone, run QuickPwn which will auto-detect if your device is a 2G or 3G iPhone (fig.1).

- Press the ‘next’ button to reach the next screen.
- Press the “Browse” button and then select the 2.1 2.2 firmware file, previously downloaded by iTunes (fig.2).
- Press the ‘next’ button to reach the next screen.
- Choose to install Cydia and/or Installer (at the moment I suggest to install both applications), and choose if you want to preserve the original apple logo or if you want to replace it with a pineapple logo.
- If you are working on a 2G iPhone, if you need, remember to select the ‘unlock’ option. In this case, you will need to specify the location of the bl39.bin and bl46.bin files, previously downloaded.
