Just the other day we were telling you that the iPhone hacking gurus on the iPhone Dev Team were working on a quick jailbreak and Pwnage solution for iPhones and iPhone 3Gs running any iPhone OS. Whether you’re running iPhone 2.0 OS, iPhone 2.0.1 OS, or iPhone 2.0.2 OS, QuickPwn allows you to quickly (hence the name) Pwn and jailbreak your device without the need to run a
“Restore” procedure on the handset.
Following on its developmental release, QuickPwn has taken on a Windows-based GUI to bring point-and-click functionality to the Windows-using masses. To be clear, QuickPwn will only jailbreak and Pwn your current iPhone OS installation. It will not update your iPhone to a newer iPhone OS.
If you are running iPhone 2.0.1 OS, QuickPwn will jailbreak and Pwn your iPhone 2.0.1 OS. Pwn-ing your iPhone allows you to install custom restore files (firmware files) in the future. Jailbreaking allows you to install third-party applications through Cydia or Installer.
But, keep in mind, as I mentioned earlier, the iPhone 2.0.2 OS comes bundled with a new baseband firmware that may or may not kill any future unlocking hopes. So, unless you are positive that you won’t need an unlocked iPhone 3G in the future, don’t update your iPhone 3G to iPhone 2.0.2 OS. Wait for the DevTeam to release an updated Pwnage Tool with iPhone 2.0.2 OS compatibility.
