[noconaled]

ok so now ive done what you've said and changed the usb ports. restored the iphone to all normal settings. reran the pwnage tool. entered dfu mode then itunes opens and gives me this warning.

An ipod has been detected but cant be identified properly.

An error has occured (2001)

thanks

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

2 Things To Try:

1. Before you start the jailbreaking process (with official Apple firmware installed), uncheck the box that says open iTunes when connected.

2. Follow all the directions from Pwnage Tool.

When finished it will tell you to quit Pwnage Tool.

After you quit, iTunes will see your iPhone is in DFU restore mode. Press OK when you get Error 2001, then unplug the USB from you iPhone and plug it back in.

Hold down the Option key and hit the restore button, select your custom firmware.

[supergpenguin]

hey a new mac osx version has come so if u download it you shouldnt have to deal with the usb ports

[noconaled]

I still have the exact same problem as give me attitude. I enter dfu mode then my itunes proceeds to screw me over and says my iphone is detected but cant be opened properly pls help

[GL3NJ4M1N]

i get to the restoration part and it says:

The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (21).

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

There are a number of things you could try. First, restore your phone back to Apple firmware, then close iTunes. Use another USB port on your computer and then follow the Pwnage Tool steps again. Make sure that Pwnage Tool closes before you do anything in iTunes. Let me know if you still need help!

[gimmeattitude]

I've been doing this for ages and it still doesn't work. I followed your instructions up till the bit where we've successfully put the phone in DFU mode. But then that's when my iTunes kind of pops out with an error message and then it undetects my phone so I can't restore it. What do I do? :'-(

[noconaled]

Pls help. I have installed all the needed applications. When pwnage tool is finished and itunes start itunes comes up with an error saying my iphone has been found but cant be opened in itunes. i am using os x 10.5.5

help

[twinv15]

i get a firmware error string its pissing me off

[TMurphProductions]

after i made the restore thing tht made me turn my ipod off my ipod wont turn on and the computer doesn't think its in!!! someone please help me!!!!!

[lookbehindthewall]

I need some help. I jailbreak my iphone and it works fine, the only problem with it is that when i am done, it says in the "about" that there is no network. it also says (null) (null) under where the carrier (or whatever it is) is.

I was wondering if you knew anything about this problem and have a solution?

[xray2410]

ive been trying to jailbreak my ipod for months with no success, thanks to you it worked! You're the best!

[ddarkoski]

This is the best help video ive seen so far... n i have seen many...

You have to be an IDIOT not to get it after this :)

Thanks..

Bravo!

[gutavo78]

i got iphone 16g from o2 2.2.1(5h11) and i cant jaibreak , i got erro on string failled something like that ....someone can help me out

[gmoneyz187]

hey so with this process it will keep the baseband at 2.28.00?

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

My baseband is at 2.30.03, but as I showed in the video I updated my carrier settings. If you're concerned about baseband I'm assuming you want to unlock your phone to use it on another carrier. This tutorial was not made for unlocking-related jailbreaks.  As stated in the intro it is for legitimate iPhone 3Gs through an Apple-approved carrier only.

i jailbroke my phone a few weeks ago and it stopped letting me make calls.. everytime i would the phone app thing would crash... i then restored my iphone back to factory and tried to jailbreak again but whenever i enter DFU mode it detects an error and i cant seem to jail break it cuz it goes to normal... anything else i can do to jailbreak it...

[letitbleed002]

after i jailbreak it gets stuck on the bootup screen and i have to restore it

any solutions?

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

If you're restoring from a backup in iTunes it may freeze if you have a lot of applications. You could try deselecting "auto sync applications" (and then click sync to apply the change) before you backup/jailbreak, or you could try starting a new device instead of restoring from a backup after the new firmware is installed and then syncing your apps back to your device. Let me know if this helps!

[juanlopez123456]

It showed an unknown error 21 when I tried to restore it with the file i created.

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

Restore your device to normal firmware and run Pwnage Tool again. Make sure to close Pwnage Tool before iTunes opens or before you do anything in iTunes. Also make sure you are restoring with the firmware immediately after you are in DFU mode. If you hit restore and then try to load the firmware during "restore from backup" this will not work. Let me know if you still need help!

[shazam7504]

My frimware failed to mount what is wrong?

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

Yes that is wrong. I'll need more info to help you though. When are you getting this message?

[blueboyculater1]

i need help. i did all the steps but after i jailbreak its cool but i cant make any phone calls :(.. the only thing that works is wi-fi ...... help

[ROGUExDTAiPhone]

If your phone does not make any calls then you probably didn't uncheck "activate the phone" in Pwnage Tool.  Restore your phone back to official Apple firmware and try again!

[tapedaug]

5/5 thanks that was soooo helpful

its wierd tho cuz i picked the same face as my startup image just coincidentally, so when i saw it in the video i was freaked out!

[frodohlives]

This is the only youtube video that actually worked with my iphone 2.2.1. Thanks Roguex!
