I tried your method after numerous attempts and finally got it to recognize the SIM but it will not access the internet without wi-fi? Did you have this problem and if so how do I fix this???

I tried several different ways to make my unlocking work. Here is what I did (on my 4th iteration) and it ONLY deals with removal/placing of sim cards 1) Shift+Restore method WITHOUT ANY SIM CARD 2) Place desired sim card in Only AFTER: Shift+Restoration is done AND you close iTunes follow the all other steps as written above. great work. cheers.

you my friend are the man. i use quickpwn like ten times now and not once could i find out what the f i do with the sim cards. your method worked like a charm. i kept putting the tmobile sim in after the process was done and it was telling me unreconized sim. putting the 3rd party sim in after the restore but before quickpwn is genius

I realy need help here.I have real problem here. I jailbroke my 2nd generation Iphone with quick pwn I used the bootloaders and the framework was up to date. Everything went through fine until I opened Cydia. There are no I repeat no package in Cydia. What did I do wrong???? Please be gentle I'm fairly a newbie, so I dont understand tech language. Help I've done everything I can think of. BTW if I placed this in the wrong thread please tell me where I'm supposed to be.

my phone is stuck in the apple logo cuz i tried to jailbreak it.. what do i do

I download it like hundred of times and still can't see the frikin box. I,ve done this before but this time the files are .dmg even says that is for windows (iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore,iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore). If some one is kind and could send me a real restore for QuickPwnfor Windows

Done!! The problem was that windows convert it automaticly ito .zip. easyiest way.. Downloadit thru FireFox.

its easy.. just change the extension file from .zip to .ispw... cheers

I had one problem: Itunes didn't restore and update the first time. I retries and it worked perfectly . EXCELENT Tutorial . Thanks!

great tutorial. an important thing that i think should be mentioned is the CLOSING OF ITUNES after doing the restore, befor estarting quickpwn. also, i too ran into the error with the sim card being different. i did what one someone did before. pretty, much, i had to start from the step of restoring the phone to the 2.2.1 software on itunes. i did this with an att sim that was used in the phone before starting the process so it could be recognized). then, as soon as i disconnected from itunes i put in the t-mobile sim. i did quickpwn steps with the t-mobile sim card and then the phone was ready to go! thank you for the great tutorial

i was curious when you restored in itunes what version were you using? 8.0 or 8.1?

hi i have a iphone 2g on firmware 2.2.1 i followed the instructions exactly and my iphone does not reboot the pwnage pinapple logo just appers and i can not get rid of it or eneter my phone home page can anyone help? i cant fix it

I have to thank Iclarified for they're lifesaving help. Thanks a lottttttt.

do you have to use the original sim card when updating (restoring) the iphone and trying to activate it? as i only have an o2 sim card and not the original sim! please help thanks

no. once you're done upgrading the fw itunes, it will lead you to app store and, naturally, it won't recognize your sim card. eject your iphone from your itunes, close itunes, and run quickpwn. just follow the instructions on this site. :)

it took me 3 times for it to work i keep making mistake when it come to hold down power and home key the first twice everythings work but i can only make phone call from my contact name and i can not end call ? but once i manged to do the jailbreak propoly (press and hold down keys) it works ....!

what sim card did you use when updating the iphone? please reply thanks

How long does it take to connect iPhone in Recovery mode? I´m doing this, and I have problem because I can't get thru this step, it stucks and I'm waiting for almost 3 hours to connect iPhone in Recovery mode. I see in my iPhone that I'm already in Recovery mode, but nothings happend on the computer screen. I see for 3 hours only "Wait for your iPhone to connect in recovery mode."Please HELP!!!

this is the only place that has all the right info i unlocked with no problem

NEW SIM CARD DETECTED Message EMERGENCY CALL ONLY screen??? I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE!!!!!--- Okay there are some people saying to switch SIM cards before QuickPwn. LISTEN TO ME AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR PHONE UP AND RUNNING. Okay, During STEP 2 have your ATT sim card in your iphone when you hit your SHIFT RESTORE. While your computer is extracting the file quickly place your T-Mobile SIM CARD. Let your iphone restore while your t=mobile sim is in the iphone. Continue to follow the instruction listed above and trust me IT WORKED FOR ME!!!

I updated my unlocked iphone 2g from 2.2 to 2.1 and i followed the exact instructions on iclarified and i have a problem during the last step when your iphone is being rebooted. My phone wont start. It just gives me the apple logo and keeps connecting and disconnecting (vibrating). What is going on? Can anybody help?

I am having the same issue. It seemed to work the first time. However when I try to restart the iphone it just shows me the pineapple logo and is auto shutting down. Could you anybody please help.

I have 2g iphone that was jailbroken , software was updated and now is saying enter correct sim to activate , i see alot of people giving the walk through how 2 fix it , issue i have is i cant sync with itunes as the unit is asking for correct sim , so cant press shift key and restore button . how do get around this issue ?

hi niall, i have the same problem. when i connect to i tunes it says SIM not supported. How do i unlock my phone from this stage. pls pls help if you got the answer and fixed your iphone. regards nabeel

hi, I have unlocked my iphone after a very long time. Try downloading Ziphone GUI 2.5. You need to downgrade your bootloader baseband which can be found under advanced features. let me know if you got it. For the amount of irritating days i spent trying again & again , i think I can write a book by now!

Upgraded to 2.2.1 with absolutely no problem. thx

wonderful guide...thanks a million!!! just upgraded my unlocked iphone 2G 1.1.4 to 2.2.1 without any issues....wonderful instructions...works seamlessly..

i would like to ask, what is the difference of 2.0 firmware to 2.2.1? can you describe what are the advantages and new feature of 2.2.1 from 2.0? thanks a lot.

I am stuck with error 1002 which i couldnt update the phone to 2.2.1 either with mac or windows.. What should i do now? What is error 1002? Please help me..

I noticed when I upgraded itunes this morning they are on version 8.1, will this matter if I am upgrading from 2.1-2.2? Or should i wait for dev team to put out a new update before i screw up my phone?

Did you geta response to this question regarding itunes 8.1.1? Thanks

Wow, thanks so much! It just worked flawlessly for me! I just upgrated my iPhone 2G with Firmware 1.1.3 (BL 4.6) to 2.2.1!!! Great tutorial.

I updated my 2g iphone from the 2.1 to the 2.2 with no problems expcept when I go into Cydia to find the T-Mobile T-Zones $5.99 hack so I can utilize the internet on Tmobile's edge service when I'm not in wifi it is not available. now since i've upgraded I can't use my internet unless i'm within wifi, how can I fix this?
