Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 2.0 with Pwnage Tool

21 Jul
2008

In this video, I demonstrate how to utilize the PwnageTool (2.0.1) to jailbreak and unlock an iPhone with 2.0 software.  I’m not using an iPhone 3G, but an old model which uses EDGE only.  Remember the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking.  Jailbreaking an iPhone will allow custom software (outside of the App Store) to run while unlocking an iPhone allows one to use the iPhone on a different carrier such as T-Mobile.  The Pwnage tool gives you an easy to use interface to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone.  It provides giant buttons that are easy to read and follow.  Note, you should have already downloaded the latest Apple firmware as well as the latest BootLoader files.  The tool will prompt you to download them if you haven’t already.  I also demonstrate “advanced mode” which gives you options to customize the firmware even further.  You can tell it to activate the iPhone or not, disable the partition wipe, customize the root partition size, (pre)install custom packages, customize boot logos, or whether to preload Bootneuter for unlocking.  After customization, you click the giant “Build” button which builds a custom firmware with all the customizations defined.  You then have to restore this custom firmware to your iPhone through iTunes.  This invovles putting the iPhone in DFU mode.  The tool does a decent job of guiding through the process of holding the right buttons at the right time.  Once this is done, the hard part is over!  Just wait until the phone boots, runs the appropriate programs, and you’ll have a jailbroken, unlocked iPhone!  Enjoy!

Awesome vid Bwana! :) You´re a talented singer… Looking forward to the iPhone 3g Review. I´ve got a little request here, could you do like a runthrough of the cydia package installer? I´m really curious if it even compares to the original installer that i have enjoyed so much… Anyways, great vid.

Sorry… When you buy the phone you agree to the terms. Read the terms and condition. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

well shud it be illegal to lock phones in the first place? I mean, You buy the product for what they sell it for, if i were to break it. Would apple me? not really! once i bought it its mine. If wish to destroy it isnt that my choice? if i want to hack it isnt that my choice? Apple does not warranty phones that have been jailbroken anyways. They get their money regardless. I guess the governments in Canada and the US take care of the Big compaines, but not the consumer. Check out France and Hong Kong and many other countries in the world. An unlocked Iphone from apple is sold there. they dont even give us that option in north america.. is that legal?

No it's not illegal but Apple doesn't endorse it.
