In this tutorial we show you how to jailbreak apples latest device the iPhone 3G to start the process you need to do the following

Download the jailbreak by the iPhone Dev Team found:
http://fsa.0xfeedbeef.com/PwnageTool_2.0.zip

And the iPhone 3G firmware and how you do this is you plug your iPhone in and open iTunes select iPhone from the 'Devices' tab and click restore and follow the installer it will then download the '2.0 Software" once its completed open the Pwnage tool and it will automatically detect the ".IPSW"

PS: Make sure you unselect "Activate" in the general tab of the pwnage tool as this will make your phone not recieve any celluar signal and also another error that i run into all day was the 'cannot reboot in DFU mode" the fix to this is;

Open your username in finder where the 'Downloads, Music, Pictures etc' click library then select iTunes folder and make a new folder in that directory called 'Device Support' then try building your custom firmware and installing it via iTunes (Only if you run into the DFU error)

  • I jailbroke my new iPhone 3G and it seems to have really weak reception and I can't even get 3G signal even though I used to be able to with the regular software. But iTunes never told me to install any sort of carrier update. Did that just pop up for you?

  • Did you uncheck 'activate' will building the ipsw in pwnage?

  • it is not locating any firmware bundles..how do i aquire it?

  • Plug your iPhone into iTunes and under the 'devices' tab click on your iPhone and hit restore it will restore your iPhone and download the latest 2.0 firmware so once thats download pwnage should detect it!

  • it says: itunes could not connect to the iphone because an unknown error ocurred (0xE8000001)

    and because the information for activation could not be obtained from iphone..

    and check that the sim card is not pin locked

  • Hmm try and restore following the same steps as i posted to 'firegodct' and if you have a first generation iPhone make sure 'activate' is checked. This guide its for 3G only. :)

  • I unlocked my iphone using

    unlock-iphone org

    They provided me with live support , images with step? by step instructions and was really easy , i recommand

  • gee...now i know why you didn't leave your camera running when itunes was going through the entire restore process. you probably didn't want everyone to know it gave you errors, and took you forever to try to figure out how to restore it to the custom firmware. that was a real cheap way of showing people how to restore to the custom firmware you stupid shit. next time, do it right so everyone can see that there will be an error message when you restore.
