1.5.1 RC3 from the link provided works flawlessly.
I advise against using 1.2.

I followed your instructions both times, to the letter.
1.2 gave me infinite pineapple.
1.5.1 RC3 (as in my last post) worked flawlessly! On top of that, it's a LOT NICER. No command line popping up and it auto-initiates the reload sequence for you.

Hello, I've never done a jailbreak before but I'm willing to try it for my IPhone 3G (already updated to v 2.0.2), I just have 3 quick questions that I hope someone could answer for me:
1.- If I jailbreak the IPhone will I be losing any benefits or obligations that my current cell carrier's plan have, (i.e. will I lose any cell signal -unlikely I know-, will I have any problems with the 3G or EDGE network, etc), and more important is there any way that my cell carrier could know of this? 2.-Will the WiFi connectivity (or the whole cell system for that matter) still work the same? 3.- If I experience any problems with the IPhone after the jailbreak or simply don't like th change can I return it to the original state? and if so, how?
Thanks in advance for any reply. bye

Hi PhoneHome,
Here's your answers:
1. Answers to all your questions here is No. But if it bricks our iPhone (which is very very unlikely) during the process then your warranty will void. 2. We didn't have any problem at all. But result may very on your situation. But so far we didn't have any trouble neither did we hear from anyone. 3. Yes. You just have to connect to iTune and restore it from there.
The performance of your iPhone may vary depending on how many third party software you install. If you install too many then you may see a bit of lag using your iPhone. But if you keep it to minimum then you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope this helps. Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
Cheers.

Me again, just a quick question: If I have Cydia and Installer on my Iphone (jailbraked of course), I won't be able to download and use anything from the apps store?, because I have since downloaded "taptap revenge" and "units", and I can't seem to get them running, is this correct? Thanks
admin

Nope, you should be able to download and run any games and applications from the App Store. Uninstall and then reinstall again and you should be fine.

I have followed allthe instructions but when my phone turned back on I do not have the icons for Cydia neither Installer. I tied it twice but no chance for me. Please let me know I need to get some apps
Admin

Please try recreating the IPSW file and make sue you're selected both Cydia and Installer. I don't really see any other reason than this for those two not showing up..cheers.

sorry guys i am new to this, but the question is : what is the difference between jailbreak and unlocking the phone???? i have iphone working on fido and i had to travel overseas, i wonder how to make it work on overseas networks??? do i unlock it or jailbreak it plz answer it is urgent. thx.
Admin

Hey trio, the difference is, you can use any SIM on your Unlocked iPhone where as you can only run third party software on your Jailbroken iPhone. So for your purpose, you'll need to unlock your iPhone. Hope this helps. Let us know if there's anything else.

Every thing has worked fine but now i can not conect to he Vodafone network in australia. can anyone help??
Thanks a lot for the instructions. I just have a question; does jailbreaking an iphone (purchased from Rogers/Fido) void or affect the iphone warranty? Thanks again.
Admin

Yes, it will void warranty. But you can always restore it back to official factory settings if you ever have to take it back to Apple.

I jail broke and upgraded my Iphone from 1.1.4 to 2.2 and unfortunately selected to replace the boot logo and got the Pineapple. Will someone please tell me how to get back to the original Iphone boot logo
Admin

You've to re-create the customised IPSW and when you do please make sure that you un-tick those logos. This means you've to jailbreak your iPhone again.

Ok, i managed to jailbreak my iPhone 3G v2.2.1 using QuickPwn! I'm with Fido (in Montreal, QC) and now that the phone is jailbrocken the carrier appears as ROGERS instrad of FIDO! I'm kind of freaking out as i don't want to be charged extra for not being on Fido's network!! When i go to setting and change the carrier back to Fido it doesn'T change and remains Rogers! :S
Is this normal, will i pay extra fees?! Is there a way for me to "lock it" to Fido?
Admin
· 10 months ago
that's strange...jailbreak doesn't change carrier..can you use ROGERS? can you make any calls or it's just showing the frequency?

I did the install and everything appeared to go fine, the pineapple shows up. There is no installer or Cydia on the phone now though. I tried again and made sure that I'd selected the boxes for those two things but still nothing. What's more, the second time round I did it to make sure that I'd selected the boxes, the phone constantly resets itself now over and over. Any thoughts?

quickpwn says it's only valid for 2.0.1.... Has ANYONE had this actually work for 2.0.2?
-3g iphone
-optus
-never jailbroken before
-rebooted phone
-tried steps located here
-BOOM, on reboot it has the pineapple for 10+ minutes
I finally gave up and did a factory restore. However, quickPWN 1.5.1 RC3 is out as per http://sleepers.net/news/2008/08/21/quickpwn-20...
I'm trying the same steps with 1.5.1 and will report back in 10-15 minutes :)
