[PwnageTool] FAQ and How To Guide

Are you using an iPod or iPhone?

It is down to the beta I am sure - unless your logos are messed up.

I really suggest you make a plain boring nothing extra version for your iPod and try that.

Your iPod/iPhone can always be detected - pwnage doesn't change that in anyway. Any connection problems are simply down to itunes and your computer disagreeing which seems to have happened before when restoring in your case.

Ya, i restarted it and it was detected it just never leaves the boot logo screen (and they are fine because i used the ones that are origonally there when u click custom boot logos). I dont know if its because of my 64 bit vista operating system or just a beta problem. Since it takes me about 3-4 hours to get my "iphone" back to the way i had before with all my applications i think im done with the beta testing for this and i will wait until the actual one is released.

It sounds like a beta issue.

Why don't you download the thor IPSW 1.1.4 from TPB and give that a go! He has a thread below...

It is currently doing that all the time so im guessing it was something wrong with my backup so i am going to start it as a new ipod and see if it still happens. If it does then im guessing its ilibery since i usually use ziphone.

The main reason i am trying this is for the boot logo me and my friend have been jailbreaking our ipods (his ipod my iphone) for around a month now and we know a ton in my opinion. He doesnt feel its worth it for only the boot logo but im up for anything that looks cool

. But what will that allow me to do?

Question, dunno if it is asked already,

can I created a custom firmware with the Mac version of pwnage and later neuter/restore this firmware on a windows machine with winpwn ??

NEVER EVER restore from a Back-Up!

It clearly says that in the FAQ. Back ups of jailbreaked iPods/iPhones contain 3rd party application settings that will mess up your phone/ipod and require a restore to fix!

The neuter/unlock option is done on the phone and doesn't require a computer at all! But yes you can create a custom firmware on a mac and restore using in ona PC or vice versa.

I got it.

So for the custom firmware , it's no issue. Can be created / restored on both sides.

Thnx!

I've read the FAQ but it didn't address this specifically.
In the past I've used a bunch of different methods to unlock the phone...but now my touchscreen is completely unresponsive. I'm trying to get it back to a virgin restored state.

I know this is not as simple as restoring in itunes as I have 1.1.4...and the current version is 1.1.4.

First question,
besides ipwner, do the other methods also modify the bootloaders?

Second, how can I virginize my iphone...it looks like I can use ipwner, BUT the FAQ says I need access to bootneuter in order to reverse the changes to the baseband bootloader. but i don't have access to that.

what to do?
