Doing some searching and I apologize if this is an elementary question for you guys. I'm trying to jailbreak my 3g iphone and winpwn seems to be what I need but I use a mac and it won't open.. Same thing for the bootloaders 3.9 and 4.6.. They won't open on my mac either.... I'm far from a programs expert so any help in simplifying this process is GREATLY appreciated... Thanks in advance..

FYI, I have quickpwn and pwnage tool. quickpwn is to keep an iphone at & T I'm guessing from the info I've seen. Is pwnage tool a way for me to jailbreak without the bootloaders? thanks again

www.iclarified.com has some very good tutorials

Yeah thats a really good site for tutorial. and you dont use WinPawn that is why its no opening on your Mac WinPawn its for Windows PC you need Pwnage thats for Mac

thanks for the help guys

I just finished upgrading from 1.1.1 to 2.0.2 and the guide worked great. All is working on my iphone just like when I u/j/a using jailbreakme.com. You guys are the best.
Thanks again.

Another day another problem... Persistence pays off though, right? Okay iclarified was very helpful but a couple things aren't working. It allows me to go all the way thru to dfu mode and successfully enters the mode. Then I go to itunes to do the resotre with the custom package created in the PWNAGE TOOL. It appears as though it's done and at the very end it says "error: could not restore iphone (error msg 1600)" or something to that affect.

Now i created a PWNAGE folder on my desktop where i keep everything store but in the TOOL there never is a point where it gives me the option to use the two bootloaders like iclarified indicates it will.... Once again, you guys have been extremely helpful and informative. I appreciate anyone who can give me insight into the problem.. Thanx in advance...

can someone help me on this please! THANKS!

try re size the partition to 600 or 700mb

i have a 1.1.3 iphone 1.1.2 otb week 48, updated to 1.1.3, ever since my iphone got almost bricked as in the message of please repair ur iphone bla bla bla, i obviously fixed it but i never fooled around with my iphone again, u can belive me since i am stil at 1.1.3, now its time for an update cause its obviously better i need to know first off is it safe to jump from 1.1.3 to the latest 2.0.2, not 2.1 cause a tutorial on iclarified is not out yet, so is it safe using winpwn 2.5 beta 2 to do all this stuff, and at a extreme level what could go wrong cause i read the tutorial, and its not doing all the work directly on the phone its making a custom fw to restore to, so could something possibly go wrong, and are there any successes from doing this or is there more fails please i have become really paranoid ever since the day i thought my phone was going to become a paper weight

thanx in adavance
