iPhone Pwned and Powered by T-Mobile

The Dev-Team has done it again. With the release of the new PwnageTool 2.1, I was able to upgrade my first gen iPhone to 2.0 within minutes.

Here are the simple steps to Pwning your First Gen iPhone:

Download PwnageTool 2.0.1 here
Download the required Bootloader files here
Start up iTunes and Restore Update your iPhone to 2.0
Unzip the PwnageTool 2.0.1 and Bootloader to your Desktop. You will need to unzip the Boot Loader files within the new Boot Loader folder. Do this now.
Once your iPhone has been updated (in Emergency Mode) start up PwnageTool
Choose the iPhone and click the Next Arrow.
Pwnage should recognize the new 2.0 ipsw, click Next.
Pwnage will now ask you for the new Boot Loader files. Click “No” when prompted to search the internet. This will give you the option to search for the Boot Loader 39 file. Locate this in the Boot Loader folder on your desktop. (Do this once again for BL 46.).
9. Click Next. Sit back and allow Pwnage to build you a fresh 2.0 ipsw.
10. Once the new ipsw file has been written to your desktop. Place your iPhone in DFU mode. You can follow the PwnageTool’s interface or simply do the following:
1. Click and Hold both the “Power Button” and “Home” Buttons on your iPhone.
2. Wait 10 Seconds. Release the “Power Button”.
3. Continue holding the “home” button for another 5 seconds
4. iTunes alerts you that the phone is in DFU mode, and asks if you want to Restore your phone. Click Cancel!
5. Hold down the “ALT”, “Option” key on your Keyboard at the same time click the “Restore” button on iTunes – You can now search for the new ipsw created by Pwnage.
6. Sit back, relax and get ready for 2.0 Goodness!

I love the Open Source Community!
