Okay, everyone go download Winpwn 2.0. It just came out tonight. Then follow the above steps (2.0 is VERY similar to the instructions listed here). If you need help, do a search for "unlock iPhone 2.0 winpwn" in Google.
Oh, and Yassi...you need WinRAR to open that bootloader RAR file you downloaded.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but you might wanna advise peeps that they have to be on 1.1.4 first before they do anything. That was my probelm not knowing I ahd to have 1.1.4 on.
Other than that great tutorial.

It finally works.
1. Put the iPhone in DFU mode.
2. Restore in iTunes to 1.1.4. (iTunes v7.6.2.9)
3. Received error 1015.
4. Run the modified version of ZiPhone with all 3 boxes checked. (App not run)
5. Put the iPhone in restore mode.
6. Restore in ITunes to 1.1.4.. again...
7. Run the modified version of ZiPhone again. (App normal running. See iPhone screen)
8. Restore in ITunes to 1.1.4.. again... No errors this time.
7. Used the standard ZiPhone 3.0 to "Do it all".
8. It works!

The best is the Ziphone 3.0 running smoothly and thousands of iphone. I think the WINPWN gives many problems.

I've pwned an OTB 1.1.4, but after loading the custom firmware, Settings>General says i'm running firmware 1.1.3 (4A102). Is this normal behavior?

My unit is a 1.1.1 OTB jailbroken to 1.1.2 and ran smoothly. I've used Winpwn for 1.1.4 but during the reboot, the scrolling script includes 'appleimage not found' and 'NOR flashing failed'.
After creating the cutoms ipsw file, iTunes' message is ' error 1604'.

Ok right, an addition: after rebooting and bootneuter ending i got the message 'No Message provided'.
I used the beta version of winpwn and downloaded all the relevant files, etc.

Hellio PiiE. I would be happy, if you can help me in the future.;) I would need some help, because my BootNeuter dos not work yet. Everything is okay on my iPhone, but not BootNeuter. I see always the same message, as Philou saw "couldn't find all required files ... please check your installation of this app". :(
My mail is neferu76@hotmail.com...if you would like to help. ;)

Why I have to Download the iTunes DLLs to your Desktop from Prodigy60, MegaUpload .
Why Step Six, Extract the itunesdll.zip you download earlier to the folder you installed WinPwn is necessary. Can some one explain please.

@smokin, you are most likely using the older version of WinPwn which was missing alot of features!

HI,
I am shocked i tried the guide but as u say there's no application tab in the ipsw Builder section and it's not enabling the bootloader , baseband file etcc!!!
I was rying to upgrade to 2.0 first but as i saw that i think it must have been disabled in 2.0 but in 1.1.4 firmware is not working at all !!
does only my computer facing this problem
