QuickPwn 2.1 – iPhone 2.1 OS jailbreak solution for Windows is live!

When it comes to freeing your iPhone or iPhone 3G from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iron-fisted rule, Windows users typically get the short-end of the jailbreak-stick. Over the past couple years, Mac machines have had the honor of getting first crack at iPhone jailbreak solutions, with Windows machines taking at least a couple weeks to catch up. We’d love to tell you that times have changed, but then we’d be lying.
Still, it’s good to see the iPhone Dev Team bringing their latest iPhone OS jailbreak tool to Windows machines around the world. If access to your iPhone’s filesystem is something you
QuickPwn for Windows
consider important, or you just want to make sure that you’ll be able to unlock your iPhone 3G if/when the iPhone Dev Team releases their unlock solution, you’ll want to get your iPhone 3G nice and “pwned.” QuickPwn 2.1 is now live!
You might recall that QuickPwn gained fame some time ago as the quick-and-easy jailbreak tool that doesn’t require a full iPhone-restore. Pwnage Tool, on the other hand, requires that the iPhone or iPhone 3G be fully restored – a lengthy process no matter how you slice it. With today’s announcement, the iPhone Dev Team and poorlad have opened up the iPhone 2.1 OS to Windows users.
Simply download the Windows version of QuickPwn and get to jailbreaking your iPhone 2.1 OS. The QuickPwn application is GUI-based, so pointing and clicking is about as complicated as it’s going to get. Find QuickPwn here, here, or here.
Sweet! This is why I love IntoMobile. I was waiting for an iPhone 2.1 jailbreak, and now I have it. You guys rock, and so does the Dev Team. I was easily able to jailbreak and all apps are installing super FAST. I love you guys.
Help Needed (URGENTLY)
I have upgrade my 2g iphone from 1.1.1 to 2.1 version using QuickPwn & Pwnage Tool to jailbreak firmware 2.1. It works successfully. But my WIFI icon does not activate and it state “No Wifi”. Can any buddies out there help to solve this problem i m facing.
Hi I tried jailbreaking.
After using QuickPWN the iphone was suppose to reboot and then i was to carry out some additional steps.
However, the phone is now stuck on the Apple logo and doesnt respond.
Any tips / next steps would be really helpful
Cheers
en faite il y a une petite astuce pour activer le wifi apres un jailbreak (quickpwn).
vs allez dans reglages, puis dans generale, ensuite vous aller dans réinitialiser et
la vous faite un reinitialiser les reglages reseau, vous redemarrer el la comme surprise la connexion wifi apparait.
If Cydia and installer are not showing up try going to Settings/General/Restrictions once there enable restrictions and enter passcode. Hit the home button. go back to Settings/General/Restrictions and disable restrictions.
I know this sounds simple, but it worked for me.
Some guy/girl called center_99_99 over at modmyi.com posted this and it did work for me aswell.
The more regular problems with Cydia.app and Installer.app not showing up are well know. I ofcourse mean replace MobileInstallation and remove com.apple.mobile.installation.plist, as you might have read before.
I have already unlocked iphone 3G 2.1, If i will follow the jailbreak procedure on my unlocked iphone do i need to unlock it again or it will be unlocked after running the jailbreak. Please reply me.
Thanks
