If you have been looking forward to unlock or jailbreak your Apple iPhone 2G, but didn’t know how to, then we would love to tell you how you can do so. The guys at iClarified have put up an educational post about the unlocking of your iPhone 2G. This post is especially for those users, who operate on Windows OS (XP & Vista).
Before you begin the process, you should be aware of the fact that there have been numerous reports of Winpwn not being compatible with Windows Vista. However, if your are running Windows XP, then you have nothing to worry about.
Important Points to Remember before Starting the Process:
- If you already have a Winpwn in your hard drive, then you need to do a complete un-installation of the same.
- Update your Apple iTunes to version 7.7, that is the most current version.
- Almost 300 MB worth of RAM will be used, when WinPwn will extract the IPSW.
- The 345 image will not work in case for 2.0. Only ‘5A347_Restore.ipsw’ files are valid.
- The Win XP users will need to install the .Net Framework.
Step 1:
Place Winpwn 2.0.0.3, 3.9BL, 4.6BL, and the latest 2.0 firmware in a folder that you need to create on your desktop and name it Pwnage.
