Hello.

I've accidentally upgraded ny 2G to the 2.1 and now I need to unlock it. (previously there was either 2.0 or 2.0.1).
I've downloaded the quickpwn 2.1 , and it doesn't let me to go further after selecting 2.1 firmware


What I'm doing wrong? As far as I understand - I'm selecting wrong firmare file. How to find which firmware should be used?

thank you.

- Download the 2.1 firmware for your iphone 2G again.
- Put phone in DFU mode and select the firmware you downloaded to make sure you have a fresh phone.
- use QuickPwn again

Here's where you should get your firmwares.

you dont need to do that just upgrade via itunes then quickpwn there is no need to put anything in dfu mode before using quickpwn

i upgraded my fw version via itunes but when i goto load qickpwn
i get the message

this vrsion of quickpwn can only jailbreak devices with >=2.0

do i need to revert back to 1.1.1 which is previously was at
or continue using the new 2.1

would a iphone restore put the phone bac to 1.1.1 coz i dont understand why its not working ????

i am currently manuall downloading the 1.1.1 and the 2.1 fw and when itunes promps me to recover i will manually select the file to use... question is which one? (im thinking the 2.1)

can someone help..

Uhmm....
Isn't it true when you do that, itunes will "upgrade" your phone with new firmware and keep some old settings. Going from 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 to 2.1 is probably ok. But if you are going from 1.x.x to 2.1, you may encounter some operational issues.
I always play it safe to make sure I have a "clean" phone to start.
