Have no enough cash to buy a building? Worry not, just because that is available to take the loan to resolve all the problems. Therefore take a student loan to buy all you want.

Quick pawn software is not downloading. Please upload the file again, Thanks

Nice set of user friendly steps. Just would like to add from my end: 1. The link to QuickPwn.zip seems to be dead. Use http://mytopfiles.com/archives/file/QuickPwn-225-2/304244.htm instead. 2. Mention the step to rename iPhone1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.zip to iPhone1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw 3. Mention the need of Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 to run the QuickPwn

Itune recognize my iphone, I can click on the LHS but I don't see the restore button that I need tp press along with the shift, IT seem like I am missing something here. please help

I have firmware 3.1 on my iphone. When I connect to itune, it goes directly to the screen where it says to activate it with At&T. I don't see the screen where I can click the restore button along with the shift key. How to get that screen? Please help

Thanks a lot.I finally could use back my iphone again.God bless you.

i keep getting that error 20 when i restore the iphone and try to run it with iphone1,1 2,2 may it be because i have the 3.0 currently

thank u iClarified for these instructions, it works for me just perfect

I unlock the phone succesfully And it detect the VOdafone India sim/network. Thank you. But there is a problem when I try to make a call it shows a message saying that I need to connect the phone to the itunes and only can make only emergency calls. through the emergency calls i can make phone calls but nothing more

Hi I am from Singapore using M1 (if any1 knows). My 2G phone was jailbreaked n unlocked 2 yrs ago serial 7U746WBOWH8, using 1.1.3(4A93) modem firmware 04.02.13_G. I want to upgrade into 2.xx so i can use itunes application, but im not sure if this method will work for me??? any1 in singapore tried this before??? (email: antiphase214@yahoo.com.sg) thank you for reading

This is for iphone 2g. When i get to "Wait for yout iphone to connect in Recovery Mode" it seems to stop there, i dont get no response. But while that does not respond when i press the home button and the powere button it starts the process after but then when it comes to the jailbreaking stages just on the last second of the 30 seconds it say either i have done the wrong process or the usb is faulty! i have tried it in a few usb ports, but yet no luck! Help is needed please , urgently thanks!

THIS TUTORIAL WORKED GREAT! I UNLOCKED MY IPHONE 2G IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES EVERY OTHER PRGRAM I HAVE USED HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL LIKE THIS ONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. -JARED

I used this tutorial and it worked perfectly! I did not have other SIM card, so I just took out ATT SIM card when unlocking my phone. Thank you for the great tutorial! If I upgrade to OS 3.0 will it lock my phone back?

There's a link on the top of the page if you want 3.0 firmware. The procedure to jailbreak and unlock is pretty much the same and also very easy to follow. Of course when you upgrade to any firmware, it will relock your iphone. The only problem I had is on both firmwares 2.1 and 3.0, the process doesn't work on Windows Vista, I got stuck in the middle of the process, I thought my iphone was bricked but when I switched to my other PC with Windows XP, it worked like a charm. I just had the new 3G iphone so I used this 2G iphone to practice, restored & unlocked, restored & unlocked so many times now that I can do it with my eyes closed! Just k/d!

If you get an error in a middle of unlock process on Vista, you can use this trick: Before starting the Unlock/Jailbreak process, click the .EXE (redsn0w.exe), select Properties and go to 'Compatibility' tab, check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select XP SP2 or Vista. This essentially tells the executable to run as if it was running in XP. After that you follow the instructions as they are. Works like a charm! You don't need to hunt for an XP machine. Btw, this works with any executable. So, if you have an application that doesn't run on Vista, you can use this trick. And it is a welknown compatibility method- not an hack- which is fully tested by Microsoft.

itunes 8.0.2 for 64 bit vista - http://notebook.driversdown.com/ViewDownloadUrl.asp?ID=139900&brNum=3&show=0 jailbreak - https://www.iclarified.com/entry/comments.php?page=3&enid=1880#commentsanchor unlock - https://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253 steps: 1. the iphone restore did not work with shift + restore.. so i just restored (click restore without pressing shift), it downloaded 2.2.1 from apple website and restored it to factory settings. this was done to erase all previous used space and user settings etc. 2. after this, it was asking for activation, showing only emergency calls only etc.. i was kind of scared as nothing was accessible. 3. but i just continued with the jailbreak steps mentioned in https://www.iclarified.com/entry/comments.php?page=3&enid=1880#commentsanchor and it jailbroke the iphone with cydia installed. some relief here. 4. next was the most cumbersome (according to me) step of unlocking it for vodafone india sim. after googlinh reading many many docs and comments here and there, i realized that my modem firmware is at 2.30 where as yellowsn0w supports only 2.28, and the methods to downgrade were too complicated like using ssh and typing cmds etc.. 5. so i upgraded my modem firmware (not iphone OS) to 4.26 using "fuzzyband 3.1b1" . this can be installed by searching in cydia, it detects the current modem firmware and upgrades it from 2.30 to 4.26 6. next i used ultrasn0w to unlock the iphone for india vodafone sim using the instructions at https://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253 . here make sure you turn 3g off.

when i download the firmware it pops up as a folder i am useing a mac do i have to be on windows?

every thing worked as it said..........only small glich where it said program will put iphone will put the phone in recovery mode ...........IT DIDN"T for 10 mins..............Then i had to do it manualy by "Hold both power and home button at the same time, when the red slider appears, continue to hold. Phone will reboot, when you see the apple icon appears, let go of the power/sleep and continue to hold home. iTunes will detect phone in recovery mode. Note: your phone screen will show the usb cable & CD." Once that was done everything worked like a charm :) hope this helps

great instructions......worked like a charm

Thanks, I didn't have a SIM card and I thought I was screwed!! Now I can actually use this iPhone as a Touch with a Camera :)

will this work for the 3.0 software?

hi everyone well i will just give a tip in case it happens to someone else to,sorry if someone gave that tip already,but i don´t feel like reading 900 comment to find out!so my problem was that the last step of the jailbreak/unlock the screen would get stuck telling me is putting my iphone in recivery mode,after 10 good min nothing change.so i went throught the step home button 5 sec ect...and i open itunes again shift restore and choose my firmware when itunes finnished then finally ipwd worked and guide me throught the next step,now everything works..i hope it can help someone ciao

A few notes since there is still a lot of confused folks out there (I was one of them for a couple of days). 1. Back up your phone - if you want to keep those SMS, photos and your phone settings. 2. Do a clean restore with UNACTIVATED restore file - I took my SIM out and restored it through iTunes as a new unactivated phone - this is the source of the phone not recognizing other SIM cards after unlock. 3. If your QuickPwn does not recognize your phone, check if Apple Mobile Service is running on your PC (we are talking Windows here) 4. When QuickPwn asks to check if the phone is connected - unplug and plug it again, wait until the arrow turns blue again (it would hang on the next screen if I don't do it). 5. Go through the rest of the motions, then restore and sinc from your previous back up - you'll have an unlocked phone with all your settings back (except for non Apple apps -well, such is life).

When i get to "Wait for yout iphone to connect in Recovery Mode" it seems to stop. The phone says itunes with the itunes symbol and the usb cord. What is the problem? how long should the process take?

I have the same problem..... won't connect in recovery mode. did you find a fix?

I am having the same problem, need a soloution quick! Thanks

Hi all, i d/l quick office but when i tried to use the different ways to up load excel files it got error message, i tried both ways like using the url, and also create a new net place in my comp but both ways cant. wonder is it becos of the software prob? 3 party software?

WOW! I have a 2G iPhone on version 1.0.2 living in Canada. I followed all the instructions right and it worked out so smoothely! THANKS GUYS!

when trying to use quickpwn, i click on it, and it tells me to connect my iphone via usb, upon doing that, it immediately says that window has recognized an error and it asks to send the error report or not, then quickpwn shuts down, what can i do to solve this?

not sure on that I would delete, redownload and reboot your comp before attempting to unlock/jailbreak. I know that if I don't restart my comp after dl quickpwn it will crash mid process.

bro i encounter that also, go n download net.framework

Thanks Really, this information helped alot

Hi! I wonder, i dont have a att sim card, is it still possible to unlock it? and how shall i do that?

some other people were able to but I believe they had previously unlocked the phone...check page 2 or 3 for that post.

on my attempts i would complete the steps and it would show tmobile and signal bars but it wouldn't recognize the sim make sure you keep it attached to the cable until the iphone has rebooted itself because I would unplug it after the last step while the phone was still processing info. thanks again!!

to start I have a 2nd Gen, 8G iphone unlocked and jailbroken, and was looking to upgrade because apps weren't functioning properly but I was unsure if itunes 8.1 would work with this program luckily it does. it took me 4 tries to get it right but for all people looking for clarity I used the original att sim to upgrade FW to 2.2 itunes version after it restarted used dev team ispw 2.2 restore closed itunes and removed att sim and insterted tmobile and followed the directions. Took me a bit longer than I anticipated and I lost my sms messages and other cydia apps but it is working great, now!!! Thanks you guys are amazing, keep up the good work!!!

gr8 work .

haha....! ths
