This gave me grief for over a week, watched the vid, did it just like he said. The screen stayed "off" but iTunes said it was in DFU Mode. I re did the Winpwned thing, first time no error 6. Cheers, thanks for the simple yet helpful vid. Well, I can Confirm Error 6 Means you didnt put it in DFU mode, but only restore mode.

I recently purchased an unlock 1.1.4 iphone that had crached last night due to a\ installing an APP. Then after my phone rebooted it just stuck on the apple whit logo foreever. had done a hard reset with holding the power + home button for 25 seconds, still same thing. The only way to get out of that was to recover the phone, since I had no backup made in Itunes it went to the original Apple firmware 2.0.1 after that it asked me to insert the At&t sim card isntead of my T-mobile. Well now I would liek to unlock my phone again. Well now I came across Pwnage tool and Winpwn. I do not know which one I should use. But after I unlock it I would definately liek to get installer 4, don't know what cydia is. Has anyone use Pwnage tool vs Winpwn? or vice versa From this site before I do anything I've learnt that while using Winpwn increase partition to 1000 then check cydia and uncheck installer then since im on tmobile, I check activate and unlock banded Do I really need to activate this since it was already activated with 1.1.4?

So if it’s not working, I recommend following all the steps of the tutorial, but increasing the partition size....BUT most importantly make sure your phone is in DFU mode. Also just to be clear I was not getting error 6 until iTunes actually started to load the firmware, which is towards the end of the process.

Click the ‘iPwner’ button and you should be told that ‘iTunes has been Pwned’ to execute step 8 you have to build your firmware first. this was the only way for me ,, hello

I alsow had a big problem with errow 6 VERY frustrating ..the problem was i couldn't put my iphone 3G in the DFU mode, so i google my ass off , to vind an answer for easy way to put your iphone in the DFU mode ,and i found one.....YEAH BABY.... there is one guy who explainded VERY simpel you DON'T even have to count.....IT WORKED like a charm hier is wat he explaind . Easier way to get DFU Mode I have found an easier way to get into DFU Mode. Hopefully this hasn't already been posted but if it has apologies. Ok, so you have got your custom firmware ready and you now need to get DFU Mode going but keep getting Error 6 messages???? Ok here is an easier way than counting to ten, take off five, jump up and down and fart at the dog. Make sure itunes is up and running and you Ipod is NOT connected by USB and volume is turned up on your computer. 1) Power off your Ipod and then connect it to your USB cable. 2) Listen to the 'connect' sound and when you hear that, press and hold the HOME and POWER button and keep them pressed. 3) When you hear the 'disconnect' sound, let go of the POWER button. 4) When you hear the 'connect' sound again, let go of the HOME button and you should now be in DFU Mode. As long as you have followed these instructions then you WILL be in DFU Mode. 5) Carry on with JB'ing Again, if this has been posted before, apologies. Am sheet at searching. Hi
