Download PwnageTool 2.0.2
August 09, 08 by DougNote - The PwnageTool is for Mac users. Windows users should click here to download WinPwn.
The iPhone-Dev team has come through tonight and officially released the update!!! They recommend that you update the application through ’sparkle’ which is the internal updating tool that comes with the PwnageTool. However if you would like to download and install it you can. . .
Click here or here or here to download PwnageTool 2.0.2.
This is what they say about the Installer 4 beta
Installer 4 Beta is included, it is part of a custom package inside “Advanced Mode†the main installer package management interface within PwnageTool isn’t enabled yet, and will report that installer.app isn’t available, but the actual Installer.app package is added as a default option in Advanced Mode.
Note - Even though it is in beta. . .it is still safe to install and use. They just say it’s beta so you can’t blame them for misc. errors. For the most part it’s finished, but just to be safe they call it beta.
Now we’re waiting for the owners of the repositories(BigBoss, Skylar, R4mon, ipod touch fans, etc) to release their sources for the new Installer.

2nd Says: 09.08.08 at 12:38 am
Should i wait to update my firmware to 2.0.1 if i want to jailbreak using the new WinPwn 2.0.2? Or would it be safe to update through iTunes then jailbreak when the WinPwn 2.0.2 is released? Also which is better Cydia or Installer? I jailbroke my old iPhone using the ziphone software and really like the installer app but if Cydia is better i will use it instead..
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 12:48 am
@2nd it will be safe to update normally. with you will need to take the 2.0.1 firmware and make it a custom one anyways, so you’ll end up ‘restoring’ to the custom firmware anyway
I like Installer better. . .then again my website is called InstallerApps.com lol.
Installer has been around longer, and it’s known about by more people
Chris Says: 09.08.08 at 2:22 am
Should you wait until installer is out of beta before you try it or is it safe to try while its in beta? Also im kinda new here so what does it mean when they say that installer will be available with Cydia? Does that mean you acutally need to download Cydia then install the installer app through Cydia?
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 2:28 am
@Chris, It is safe. The only reason they say it’s beta is so you can’t blame them for unexpected errors. It won’t brick your iPhone or iPod Touch.
To installer Installer you need to hit the advanced mode in the Pwnage Tool. I am not sure if Installer will be listed as a package in Cydia.
John Says: 09.08.08 at 2:40 am
should i upgrade to 2.0.1 firmware (using iTunes) then jailbreak it or just jailbreak it as a 2.0 firmware?
John Says: 09.08.08 at 2:41 am
oh and when should we expect the winpwn for windows? sometime Saturday or Sunday or u dont know?
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 2:52 am
@John, no idea on when WinPwn is coming out. You can upgrade to 2.0.1 if you want. . .you will need to take the 2.0.1 firmware and make it a custom one anyways, so you’ll end up ‘restoring’ to the custom firmware anyway.
I like 2.0.1 much more than 2.0(a lot less buggy)
John Says: 09.08.08 at 2:58 am
what do u mean when u say make it a custom one? (im horrible with technology, so im srry for all the comment posts)
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 4:32 am
@John you have to take the 2.0.1 firmware, plug it into winpwn and have it make a custom firmware. then you will go into itunes and do a special restore, selecting that custom firmware you just made. Then it restores like you are updating to a new firmware.
I will be posting a step by step guide when it comes out(just like I did with the 2.0 firmware jailbreak)
Chris Says: 09.08.08 at 11:22 am
Thanks for all your info DOUG you are really helpful.. Is this website yours? If so i subscribed to your Youtube channel and will you make a video on how to Jailbreak the 2.0.1 firmware?
Black Simorgh Says: 09.08.08 at 11:39 am
hi, I thought that installer would be unstable but it wasn’t. instead was Cydia unstable. if I try to start it, it always aborts. is that normal? and if not what should I do?
Ronald Says: 09.08.08 at 2:14 pm
Bravo for PwnageTool 2.0.2 !!
I have a question, I previously jailbreak my phone using ZiPhone.
And I heard that by upgrading directly with PwnageTool, it could cause brick
So, my friends recommend me to upgrade the phone using regular firmware then, restore using Pwnage Firmware.
Is this step true?
I’m currently in firmware 1.1.4 (since the uncertainty of jailbreaking) and wondering weather I can just upgrade my phone to firmware 2.0.1 directly
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 3:29 pm
@Chris, Im glad you have found the content useful. sure, I will look into doing that
@simorgh, this might help you
http://sleepers.net/news/2008/08/09/pwnage-202-error-with-cydia-crashing-solved/
@ronald, i would recommend doing this for any upgrade. remember when the developers test a jailbreak they make sure it’s on a freshly restored device.
Black Simorgh Says: 09.08.08 at 5:51 pm
cool, thank you very much ;D
JIm McDosh Says: 09.08.08 at 9:22 pm
Dude that is the coolest tool ever! I love it.

josh Says: 09.08.08 at 9:23 pm
If I already used the pwnage tool to upgrade to 2.0 a few weeks ago, will the custom installer that gets made save my current apps from the apple store? I know it’s stupid, but I have the light saber app and since it’s getting pulled from the store I am wondering if I will have to just re-install all my current “legit” apps.
Doug Says: 09.08.08 at 9:35 pm
@josh, it will ask you if you want to restore from a backup, but when it couldn’t for me(i think that’s cause i restored from an already jailbroken ipod).
so if it happens to you what happened to me, then no. you’ll lose the light saber app
you can always download ‘isaber’. . .until they pull that one too, lol
Anne Curtis Dyosa Says: 09.08.08 at 10:54 pm
wow thank you so much for this wonderfull post
Kevin Says: 10.08.08 at 1:44 am
I previously jailbroke and unlocked (for use on T-Mobile) my 1st gen 2.0 iPhone. Do I need to impliment bootneuter again for the new firmware to be unlocked?
Doug Says: 10.08.08 at 1:51 am
they haven’t unlocked the device yet. . .and i don’t know much about unlocking anyway
Krazd Says: 10.08.08 at 6:41 am
is this official software? if not, does this void the warranty in any way?
Cocko Says: 10.08.08 at 8:25 am
There ought to be some way that certain posts can be labelled like “half-wit” or “retard” or “clueless” or “moron”, so that the can be skipped unless you want to read them for entertainment value.
Let’s see, so far the “moron” posts are from:
KRAZED - a REAL moron
RONALD - sort of stupid
Scousers Rule Says: 10.08.08 at 2:12 pm
@ cocko
why dont you go fuck off mate…
some people like me are not the super hacker like you and have questions
its people like you that fuck off people when they need help so i hope you fuck your phone up and no one helps you… as for the people you slagged off keep on looking for help someone is out there to help you…. if i could i would
Doug Says: 10.08.08 at 2:33 pm
@Krazd, no it’s not official software(from apple), and yes it will void your warranty(if you return it in jailbroken form). but all you have to do is restore it if you need to return it
@cocko, remember, we all started somewhere
Scott Says: 10.08.08 at 11:46 pm
I have just jailbroken my 1st generation 2.0.1 iphone. I have the Cydia and Installer application and it seems like the jailbreak process using Winpwn 2.0.4 went well. I was able to restore my contacts, from a previous restore point, however I seem to get no service nor does it recognize my carrier. How to I fix this problem. Also is my iphone now unlocked or will that take another process, and if so does anyone know how to go about it? Thank you.
Adam Says: 12.08.08 at 11:31 am
@Scott-I had the same problem with my iPhone 3G. I could not figure out the issue so I ended up restoring the original settings (as I need the phone to actually make phone calls). I’ll be keeping an eye to see if anyone has thoughts on this.
Doug Says: 12.08.08 at 1:33 pm
This only jailbreaks your iphone. . .it will NOT unlock it for another carrier.
However if you are on AT&T and you get this, it’s because you selected the activation option, and didn’t need to
SHCJ Says: 13.08.08 at 12:56 am
ty for this! hopefully it works for me!
Klaasjes Says: 14.08.08 at 9:49 am
I jalibroke my 1st generation iPhone sith pwnageTool, but now I only have Cydia on my springboard, installer.app is missing. Did I do something wrong or is there any way to install installer.app? Thanks!
Doug Says: 14.08.08 at 5:29 pm
@klaasjes - it sounds like you didn’t check the box for installer
nls08h15 Says: 14.08.08 at 6:05 pm
for some reason itunes won’t let me pick the custom restore, even when i have the option key held down. it will only let me download the 2.0.1 software.
i’m using itunes 7. is that the problem?
bob eason Says: 16.08.08 at 6:22 pm
will pwanagetool 2.0.2 unlock my 3g iphone so it can be used out of the country with another sim card? and then i want to put the att card back in it when i return..
will this work?
Doug Says: 17.08.08 at 12:31 am
@bob, sadly there is no way to unlock the device yet
Kevin Says: 18.08.08 at 11:36 pm
Did anyone get my question? My 1st gen iphone is currently unlocked running the 2.0 firmware - I unlocked it for use with T-mobile using the previous version of pwnage. Do I need to use bootnueter again when I update to 2.0.1, or can I skip this step because the baseband is already unlocked?
thanks
GTI_Power Says: 19.08.08 at 8:48 am
Hi there,
i tried to jailbreak my iphone 3g but while it was restoring it it just crashed….
so i restore it using itunes to be able to use it again, and it automatically installed
the version 2.0.2 with itunes….is there anyway i could now jailbreak it or do i have to wait for a new WinPwn version? Thanks
Tim Says: 21.08.08 at 2:29 pm
Hi All,
I jailbroke my iphone 3g firmware 2.0.1 with pwanagetool 2.0.2.
The iphone works but NO SERVICE. (T-mobile and some other SIMs)
What to do now?
Reset network settings didn’t help.
Is there any the latest, yesterdays or todays upgrade?
Thank you in advance.
Lane Says: 22.08.08 at 6:09 pm
@Time, that’s because there isn’t an unlock for the carriers yet. You HAVE to be on AT&T even after jailbreaking. if you jailbroken and put in a T-mob sim etc on 3G iPhone it will not work as a phone, just the device itself will work. You’ll have to do a restore in iTunes. It’s very hard to go from latest (2.0.2 back down to anything previous if I’m not mistaken. I had to go from 2.0 to 1.1.4 once and it took hours and many attempts…so good luck if that’s the case. If you are an AT&T subscriber, then just restore in iTunes, then jailbreak again (so you can instal Cydia apps etc, but don’t expect to use the iPhone 3G on anything other than AT&T. (In the States anyway that is, not yet anyway). Good Luck.
There are numerous posts everywhere on the web stating that the 3G cannot be unlocked for other carriers yet, i think you missed that memo. ;-)
Jerome Says: 04.09.08 at 8:49 am
If i jailbreak my iphone 3g… can i restore it to how it was just before?
Sorry for the question but i am newbie in this!
Big Up
Doug Says: 04.09.08 at 1:03 pm
@Jerome, yes you can restore it just like you bought it from the store
Jerome Says: 04.09.08 at 2:03 pm
Thanks DOUG… So i just have to restore using the restore option of itunes and there will be no problem! Good to know that!
ally Says: 09.09.08 at 11:42 pm
i just wanted to check. If I have been using a ziphone unlocked iphone, can i upgrade to v2 then use Pwnage? ie, it won’t affect the Pwnage unlock that I previously used Ziphone?
thanks

Just wanna know if I winPwn to 2.0.2 will I loose all my apps??? and have to reinstall em! Thats gonna take my ages… eeks!

@Chaits, Yes, with every upgrade you have to reinstall your apps(you have to restore to a fresh copy of 2.2)
