I just wanted to let everyone know that the step by step Jailbreak Guide has been updated for the 2.0.2 firmware. I noticed a couple of visitors were having issues looking for the IPSW file, so it is all documented there.
This is only for Windows users. We are still waiting for the iPhone Dev Team to release the update to PwnageTool that will Jailbreak 2.0.2 on a Mac.
I have updated the the Jailbreak Guide for step by step instructions on how to Jailbreak 2.0.2
Note - This is for Windows users only. . .Mac users will have to wait until the PwnageTool update is released. Subscribe to our RSS Feed and we’ll tell you exactly when that happens
Windows users can now jailbreak your 2.0.2 iPhone or iPod Touch. Sadly there still isn’t a way to unlock your iPhones(but I hear they are hard at work on it).
Click HERE or HERE or HERE to download the updated version.
I am updating my 2.0.1 jailbroken iPod to 2.0.2 and will test this right now. I will update this post live as things happen.
- Updating to the 2.0.2 firmware via iTunes
- Opening QuickPwn, Selecting iPod Touch, Locating Firmware, Keeping Cydia, Installer, and Boot Logo checked, clicking Go!
- Command line window opens, it’s telling me to turn off my ipod/iphone and then pressing enter
- ipod is off, and pressing enter
- Putting ipod into DFU mode(im just following the steps)
- text scrolls, ipod touch screen turns white
- screen goes black, winpwn logo appears. . .still waiting
- winpwn logo disappears, wheel spinning above the home button(at the bottom of the screen)
- ipod reboots, no more spinning wheel. . .just a winpwn logo
The iPod touch is back to the home screen with the App Store, Cydia, and Installer installed successfully.
Update - Now we can jailbreak the 2.0.2 firmware on Windows(with QuickPwn).
Click here to download the updated version of QuickPwn. This version now jailbreak firmware 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2.
It was released this week and everyone wants to update their iPhone and jailbreak. Everyone is waiting for a response from the iPhone Dev Team about an update to the PwnageTool(with WinPwn to follow).
There has been a GUI released for the new QuickPwn application. The iPhone Dev team says that this is still ‘beta’ but they say its ‘fairly self explanatory’.
They also confirm that they have their hands on the 2.0.2 firmware. . .and will begin working on the jailbreak tomorrow.
Note - This ONLY works on the 2.0.1 firmware right now. The iPhone Dev team says they will change this in future updates.
Apple went ahead and released the 2.0.2 firmware. Sadly the only documentation on this update says that it’s just ‘bug fixes’. Everyone has been hoping that this will improve the connectivity for the iPhone 3G.
I am updating my iPod Touch to 2.0.2 right now. It’s currently backing up, so it might take a while. As with any update we assume this breaks the ‘jailbreak’. . .and the current versions of the PwnageTool, WinPwn, and Quick Pwn will not work with the 2.0.2(again, I’m only assuming).
If anyone knows for sure, respond and let us know. . .for now I will continue to wait for iTunes to update my iPod.
REMEMBER - If you want to continue with your jailbroken applications do NOT update to 2.0.2.
