After it was delayed about half a week, the iPhone Dev Team has finally released the Pwnage tool into the world. For those who don't know, Pwnage is an application that allows you to patch your bootloader and allow custom, pre-jailbroken firmwares to be loaded onto your iPhone/iPod touch from iTunes. You can customize your own firmware, and all you have to do is restore with it in iTunes and then you will have a jailbroken iPhone when you are done! For now it's Mac only. This also means that you can install your most-likely-illegal version of 2.0 that you downloaded from Apple's site. Just pwn your phone, custom build that firmware and install 2.0.

Has this actually been confirmed to work 100% with iPod touch's of any size?

 

Also, how do we keep the pineapple from showing up? I like the apple...

It's not working for me.. I plug my iTouch to my computer in recovery mode and PwnageTool doesn't detect it. :P

EDIT: Alright, got it to work. Just a stupid mistake on my part by not reading the directions. I "pwned" it, but I can't really see any advantage of using Pwnage than just a regular jailbreak right now...

Is it possible to load this onto an iPhone before it's activated with apple? I'm interesting in buying an iPhone, but O2 sure as hell aren't getting my £35 a month.

Confirmed working on my 8GB iPod Touch w/ 1.1.4.

1) Someone answer my question about the bootloader image.

 

2) Colonel: Try using it with iTunes open. Maybe it works like ZiPhone where you have to have iTunes running and the iPod detected by iTunes so that ZiPhone can see it.

I've read that users are able to edit the boot images from the iPod Dev's website, but I am unsure as to how this is done at the moment.

How do you actually activate the 2.0 firmware? I have 1.1.4 now, but I installed 2.0 and have not gotten it to activate with my AT&T SIM card. I downgraded back to 1.1.4 and I'm still having activation issues...

I can confirm this works great with 2.0 beta AND 1.1.4.

 

2.0 is VERY buggy (maybe it was just a bad release), but it activates and the new features work. Appstore and the iTunes Store are missing (again, probably a bad release). I have since reverted back to an pwnage 1.1.4

 

1.1.4 worked perfect the first time I tried to restore - I allowed it to re-upgrade by bb, since Zibri did such a fine job of downgrading it :wacko:

Dev Team added a very nice GUI for the bb process, and it is even accessible from the Springboard. I must congratulate the Dev Team, they did a great job on pwnage. I can not wait until later today (or maybe tomorrow) when the customization software comes out, so I can make a pimped out firmware with all the apps I want.

 

Oh an about the comment with the pineapple - when you create the pwn'd firmware, you can choose whether to use the custom images or not, simply make sure it is unchecked.

 

Congrats Dev Team!

Where does one find the Bootloader images for bootneutor?

So how does this work exactly? Is it like iPod Wizard where you get to put themes and background and whatnot on your iPod?

I'm pretty sure he was saying that PwnageTool is for the Macintosh Operating system only and not for Windows... he wasn't stating what hardware it can and can't run on...

It's about time! I can't wait to start using this.

 

How does it wirk exactly does this work?

Can I make a custom firmware of my phone for my friends to use?

Dust Busta as far as I know ANYONE can use the custom firmware you make. You take an ipsw file, add the custom graphics and apps that you want (maybe setting too, soon), and restore your (or their) pwn'd iPhone in ITUNES. It will work just like a normal restore of the phone - that is why this is the safest option - iTunes does the work for you!

Thats awesome! Props to the DevTeam for doing an amazing job. I have only one question and it sounds a little n00by :( . How do you restore your iPhone to your custom 2.0 firmware in iTunes?

 

Thanks

When you build your custom firmware, deselect the Use DevTeam Custom Pictures option and your apple should stay.

First, you need the firmware image, then you just make a custom firmware with the Pwnage Tool and restore it to your iPod/iPhone using iTunes.

Does it work with apps too? If my girl friend uses my firmware will it be a complete clone of my phone?

I upgraded my phone to the latest 2.0 firmware (5A225c) and everything is working fine, except... I have no signal. It just shows the lowest possible signal and no AT&T logo. I downgraded back to 1.1.4 and it works fine. Anyone have any ideas?

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I think I have found out how to fix it.

^^ For those who don't know, you need to have your phone unlocked if you want signal on 2.0.

Right NOW, it is simply a pre-jailbroken custom firmware. You can do custom graphics, but RIGHT NOW you can't add apps to it Dust Busta. Later tonight or tomorrow Chronic Dev is going to release a tool to add your own apps to it, so it would be a "clone." It won't take the firmware off the phone, you have to build it on the computer and send it to the phone. She wouldn't have a clone of your phone, she would have the same base firmware that you have (with the base apps you chose).

Will apps compiled for 1.1.3/1.1.4 work on 2.0? Will installer.app still work?

chucky3456

As far as I can tell Installer.app will not work in 2.0 yet, I'd give it a few days. Without Installer I couldn't easily test apps in 2.0, so I can't tell you about those. I would stick with 1.1.4 for now though, 2.0 is VERY buggy. iPhone apps (like mail) were sluggish and laggy, and music skipped from being sluggish. 1.1.4 should run solidly for you.
