Hello,
I have a UNLOCKED 2g iphone I purchase about 1 year ago from Kula Lumpur. It works fine and updates in itunes 8 fine just as long as I do NOT update the firmware/handset software.
I need to update the firmware/handset software so I can sync applications from my itunes to my iphone.
My sister updated the software on her unlocked iphone (purchased with mine) and it disabled her whole iphone and she lost everything (completely died) and had to go through the steps of jail breaking her phone and reloading everything back on it with itunes.

How can I update the software without my iphone dying in the process?
Thank you.

Please keep the files on the same folder and try to re create the custom IPSW and see if that works.

Hi, just me having a little big problem. When I'm trying step 14 i receive the message "No bootloader V3.9 file found" I've been trying to download it and I receive a file called bl39.bin. I try to select it when Pwnage asks me if I want to browse this file i click in yes but says that this is not the proper file.

Any idea if this is the correct file? Or do you know from where should I download the correct Bootloader V3.9 file please? Thanks a bunch.

Harsh,
Try updating your carrier pack through iTunes.

Hello,

I followed all your procedures and it went perfect. However after putting my SIM card in it states “the SIM Card inserted in this iPhone does not seem to be supported” in iTunes. Can you please tell me what to do next?

I followed a suggestion I found on another forum.
I had already used Pwnage to upgrade to 2.0. I just installed iTunes 8 and updated to the 2.1 iPhone firmware using the iTunes update
button. No problems.

The Pinapple logo not longer appears when starting up, just the regular apple logo.
I have checked my iPhone. It has been upgraded to 2.1.
Too easy!

Hi,

on STEP 14, when I click BUILD, it pops up a message stating:

"No Bootloader v3.9 file found! Would you like to search the web for this file? "

What do you suggest I do?

Re: Jailbreaking iPhone 2.1 3G & 2G - Updated

Shangalar — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 01:58:54 -0000

I'm getting to step 14. When I click on build I get the message

"No Bootloader v3.9 file found.
Would you like to search the web for this file
Yes/No"

I have searched the web and downloaded the bl39.bin file several times but each time I ask pwnage to proceed it rejects the Bootloader file with the message

"Sorry this does not appear to be the proper file. Do you want to browe for Bootloader v3.9 again"

Help wanted!
Any tips to get over this issue much appreciated.

Thanks

I'd suggest you to recreate the custom IPSW file again properly and restore iPhone again. something might have been missed during creation of the custom IPSW.

zippidty, use PwnageTool as it's flawless and much easier. Next, you can unlock only first gen iPhone not iPhone 3G. Jailbreak only for iPhone 3G. You don't have to worry about activating your phone so don't tick that. And finally, there's no option for unlock. This process will unlock first gen iPhone automatically but that doesn't mean you won't be able to use AT&T service.

Noobie for jailbreaking my iPhone...

I have been reading several websites on the Quickpwn and Pwnage tool.

Still haven't clearly understood which to use.

I am an AT&T customer, so I do not want to "unlock" my phone for use with another carrier.

Quickpwn, as I understand, just "jailbreaks" my phone so I can put what I want on my phone. Does Quickpwn install Cydia and Installer (which I understand I will need to load 3rd party software)? It appears that only Pwnage Tool allows for checking or unchecking of these two options to be installed.

I would prefer to use Pwnage Tool as it has an expert mode I can set to my preferences. However, I am unclear as to the General tab and unchecking "activate my phone". If this is unchecked will by phone activiate with AT&T somewhere in the process? Also, is there somewhere in Pwnage process I should tell it NOT to "unlock" my phone for use on other carrier, like uncheck Bootneuter or something?

Thanks in advance

Please use Firefox to download the ipsw file. Or try unzipping the file after downloading it to see if it works. Safari seems to have been downloading in zip format.

I've got the same issue as nimis, its a zipped file and doesnt recognize it when you choose it, any suggestions?

most likely and I think it is because your phone isn't in DFU mode even though it may seem like it is. You may still be in recovery mode not DFU mode. watch the video here to see how to put your iPhone in DFU mode (at the bottom of the post).

I own a iphone 3g 16g and my itunes is 8 and I have the 2.1 firmware. I download the new ispw address very well, I use pwnage and then I put my phone into DFU mode. The problem arises with restoring my phone. I get an error 6. I have done this multiple times, following the instructions to the T, and still I get the error message. What could possibly be going wrong?

which step are you stuck at? create a folder on your desktop and put both the files in that folder and try again.
