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.

1. Update your iTunes application (we will need the last version).
2. Connect your iPhone 3G or 2G to the PC/Mac using the USB cable.
3. Before continuing with the following steps, I suggest you to make a full backup of your iPhone.
4. 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.
5. Download QuickPwn 2.1 2.2, using one of the following links: QuickPwn 2.2 (Windows), QuickPwn 2.2 (Windows), QuickPwn 2.2 (Mac).
6. If you have a 2G iPhone, download also these files.
7. Without unplugging your iPhone, run QuickPwn which will auto-detect if your device is a 2G or 3G iPhone (fig.1).

8. Press the ‘next’ button to reach the next screen.
9. Press the “Browse” button and then select the 2.1 2.2 firmware file, previously downloaded by iTunes (fig.2).
10. Press the ‘next’ button to reach the next screen.
11. 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.
12. 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.

13. Press the ‘next’ button to reach the next screen.
14. Put your iPhone in DFU mode (Device Firmware Update). QuickPwn will guide you on how to do this operation (fig.4).

15. At this point, if you have done all operations correctly, you will have a fully unlocked iPhone!
