Unlock Your iPhone 2G 2.2 Using QuickPwn

By Sebastien   Cracks & Hacks, How To & Tutorials Add comments

This guide will show you how to use QuickPwn 2.2 to jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone 2G. This tutorial is for PC users but I assume the steps are the same on a Mac. This tutorial is NOT for iPhone 3G. If you’re only interested in jailbreaking your iPhone (not unlockink), please may read my QuickPwn 2.2 guide.

IMPORTANT: READ EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THIS POST BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK YOUR IPHONE

Before doing anything, I suggest you read this important message from the Dev Team.

Click here to download the MobileInstallation patch for 2.2

Note that you are pwning your iPhone at your own risk… Success is not guaranteed!

  1. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Update or restore your iPhone to firmware 2.2 using iTunes. Restoring is the preferred way to do it as it won’t waste space on your iPhone. Plug your iPhone and make sure iTunes has detected it. If you’re iPhone is already jailbroken, you may want to remove all the apps that you have downloaded from Cydia. Certain applications such as Winterboard, Categories and more cause trouble. You will be able to reinstall them later.
  2. Create a folder called “QuickPwn” on your desktop. Download your appropriate iPhone 2.2 firmware from here. Also download the QuickPwn 2.2 from here, the bootloader files BL 3.9 and BL 4.6 from here too. Place these files in the newly created QuickPwn folder on your desktop.
  3. Extract QuickPwn zipped file.
  4. Launch QuickPwn and select your iPhone version.
  5. You will be asked to select your iPhone firmware. Select the firmware you downloaded in Step 1.
  6. If the firmware you selected is valid, QuickPwn will show a green checkmark. Click Continue.
  7. You will then have the opportunity to select Cydia, Installer, custom boot logos and “unlock iPhone”. You have to select Cydia and “unlock iPhone”. You may also choose to install Installer. Click Next.
  8. You will now be asked to select your bootloader files. Click the Browse button and select the 3.9 bootloader from the Pwnage folder on your desktop. Likewise do the same thing for the 4.6 bootloader file. Then click the blue arrow button to continue.
  9. QuickPwn will now ask you to confirm that your iPhone is connected. Click the blue arrow to continue.
  10. QuickPwn will now automatically put your iPhone into recovery mode. Once its in recovery mode you will be prompted to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode. Watch the prompts carefully and follow along.
  11. Once QuickPwn detects your iPhone in DFU mode, it will start the jailbreak process.
  12. Finally, QuickPwn will let you know that pwnage process was completed successfully.
  13. Done!

Let us know how it goes!

    i have problems because i have a 2g iphone with 2.2 firmware file and when i execute Quickpwn 2.2 it says that the firmware file (Iphone1,1_2.1) does not match my iphone which is (iphone1,1_2.2) and i did all the downloads from this guide… so… anybody… help? =S

    November 25th, 2008 at 11:02 am

    I followed the steps twice, once with my old AT&T SIM and again with the SIM of the carrier where I live. In both cases, the phone still comes up as SIM-locked (i.e. I get the error message “different SIM detected”). I made sure to click the check box in Quickpwn 2.2 for Unlock. Suggestions?

  5. 5. john Says:
    November 25th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

    I get the same error as Martin. The phone continues to tell me to connect it with iTunes and that my SIM card is invalid.

  6. 6. Joon Says:
    November 25th, 2008 at 8:48 pm

    I’ve done this twice with 2.2 firmware sucessfully. First I put the phone in recovery mode (google to find out how), with the sim card that I want to use already in the phone. Then, I restored via itunes. After that was finished, I unplugged the iphone before it could reboot. Then follow this tutorial and it should work fine.

  7. 7. jailbraker Says:
    November 26th, 2008 at 5:16 am

    I got the message that “Different SIM detected” and it prompts me to “connect to iTunes.”
    At the same time, I saw full bars and the operator name scrolling on the top. I am able to receive a call and if you slide open to make an “Emergency” call, you can just dial any number you want to reach and it will make the call.
    There is something wrong and I am doing it over again, maybe it will work.

    hello again,
    i finally got mine to work. it requres some work and research but it’s worth it.
    i had to get a patched version of a folder called “lockdown” and replace it in my iphone via SSH (openSSH in iphone and WinSCP in Vista to connect the two).
    Once I replaced the Lockdown folder, the “Different SIM Detected” message disappeared and the phone is working like a charm in Europe (iPhone 2G).

    Google, google and google… to solve your problems.
    if you have upgraded your firmware to 2.2 you can easily revert back by restoring to previous firmware through iTunes.
    Hold down “Shift” when you click on Restore in iTunes and choose the version you want to go back to.

    you can find all the firmware links to apple server here (it’s the fastest download directly from apple)

    http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php?title=IPhone_Firmware_Download_Links&oldid=8531

    currently, iPhone 2G can be unlocked on firmware 2.1 and iPhone 3G can be unlocked on firmware 2.02 i think. I’ll try tomorrow.

    I Followed these instructions, but never could find any option to “unlock” within Quickpwn. The installer simply did everything for me for the most part. It is now jailbroken - but how do I unlock? I need to unlock this phone!

    It works like magic.
    I had an unlocked iPhone 1.1.3 and took it for repair at Apple store. The Genius there told me that as your phone is in warranty they will replace it (despite it is jailbroken, I guess he couldn’t know that it was unlocked too as I had ATT sim in it). I took the phone back to my place to backup my data.
    Next time when I went there, the Genius was not there but another stupid guy upgraded my firmware and locked my iPhone and said that as the phone doesn’t has a contracted sim so he’ll not replace it.
    So I had an iPhone (originally 1.1.3) now 2.2 locked. COMPLETELY LOCKED.
    I followed the steps provided in this post and WHOWAAA I could unlock my iPhone without even a single hiccup.
    You guys ROCK… I am thankful to you..

    I have an unlocked 2g iphone. It had 2.0 software on it. I tried to upgrade it to 2.2 using the guide provided on this site. But for some reason I cant get QuickPwn to open or run on my PC. It just gives me an error.
    “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)”
    Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to download different QuickPwn files but the error remains. I am running XP on my PC.

    Click here to download the MobileInstallation patch for 2.2

    I dont know why we have to download it because through the steps, they dont use or browse this file.

    Can anyone explain why we have to download MobileInstallation patch for 2.2?

    I think I’m an idiot. :|

    my 2G iphone’s apps started to just not work, so i decided to upgrade its software to 2.2.. when i downloaded the quickpwn, at first it fails to initialize, so i did some more research and had to download the microsoft .NET framework http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displayLang=en so that it would work. then thats it, everything should go well.

    I just did this and it worked fine.

    Using Vista and iTunes 8, I had an unlocked and jailbroken 2G running 2.0

    I did a restore in iTunes to 2.2 at which point it got the “unrecognized SIM” which is NORMAL.

    Then I ran quickpwn 2.2-1 and followed the instructions above and it worked perfectly.

    Took 10mins total.

    Hello all,As a reply i have the same problem as jailbraker had. iPhone 2G 2.2 T-Moble Firmware using quickpwn. it appears quickpwn did Unlock my iPhone because i’m able to make and accept calls it does show my Network at the top aswell as a few bars but i’m at a screen giving me a message stating “Different SIM detected,Please connect to iTunes” and only gives me the option to Slide for emergency calls. i did install OpenSSH and WinSCP but i have no idea what i’m suppose to do with that. can anyone help please? i’ve tried Unlocking with my T-Moble SIM card in and a Cingular the Cingular was not an Active SIM as i don’t know anyone with one to use (If that matters)

    December 7th, 2008 at 1:01 am

    Stuck on “Different SIM detected”? So was I… I have AT&T SIM card, but also a German EPlus SIM that I wanted to use with 2.2 and 2g iPhone; after lots of trial and error (and Quickpwn did not solve this) I found a solution that worked for me: follow the steps in this post using PwnageTool (sorry PC users!)

    make sure you select the ‘Activate’ option in pwnage, and when it comes time to put your phone into DFU, put in your NON-AT&T SIM (in my case, EPlus). So far this works, no problem and I’m finishing my data backup as we speak…

At what point did you see the option to unlock? Please someone who is using this method with another carrier who used this method.

    I also had the “different Ssim detected”issue.Tried over and over but still had same problem

    Heres how i solved it..
    1. I restored the iphone with the 2.2 firmware downloaded from this site(with no Sim inserted)
    2. After restoration, you’ll be asked to install valid sim and connect to itunes so the phone can be activated.Close itunes and Install the DESIRED sim(in my case tmobile).
    3. Follow the quickpwn process and Voila!!

    December 10th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    Same as #19, 28, and 39: The Quickpwn jailbreak seems to have gone smoothly, but I was never given an option to Unlock. No box to check, nothing. What’s the deal, is my phone unlocked or not? Can someone who has successfully done this please reply!? Where exactly is that step supposed to happen? Several people in the comments mention that they were running Quickpwn with the new SIM card already installed, but I don’t have a new SIM card yet. (Planning to pick one up on a trip abroad next week.)

    Another 1.1.4 (originally jailbroken and unlocked with ziphone) upgraded to 2.2 successfully!
    Originally I had the problem with “wrong SIM card inserted.” I took out the SIM, shift-clicked on update to 2.2 in iTunes, then did NOT do the “restore” button before running QuickPwn. Worked like a charm, remove the SIM error, and I synced up through itunes normally to get everything.

    I also had the “Different SIM Detected” and followed Willoughby’s (#42 above) advice by restoring again without a Sim card and then using QuickPwn with a TMobile Sim card and now the phone is unlocked and I can switch between an AT&T Sim card and a TMobile card with no problems at all.

    Thanks Willoughby!

    December 22nd, 2008 at 1:36 am

    EVERYONE! THAT 100% PROBLEM SOLVER TO USE THE PHONE WITH T-MOBILE IS TO DO WHAT Willoughby SAID. I PLAYED WITH MY 1ST GEN, 2.2 FIRMWARE PHONE AND KEPT GETTING THE WRONG SIM ISH LIKE 5 TIMES IN A ROW WITH HAVING 5 BARS OF T-MOBILE SERVICE, BUT AS SOON AS I RESTORED WITH NO SIM AND FOLLOWED THE STEPS IT I-N-S-T-A-N-T-L-Y WORKED.

    i’d guess without a “fresh” start the phone is still gonna be associated with the original at&t SIM. eject the sim, restore. close ituen follow these steps!

    Thanx for this very effective 2G tool! Previous Firmware was 1.4.2, and now unlocked and jailbraked to 2.2! Installation was 1st time succesful. iPhone works SUPER now. A tool how to get my SIM contacts into my iPhone contactswould help me a lot. Is iPhone not compatible with stereo Bluetooth devices?

    Just tried my updated 2G iPhone, all ok, expet I cannot send SMS messages…. I can receive them, but after sending a reply (or new message) I get after a few seconds a Message Transmission Error….
    My Vodafone provider offers a ‘free sms message’ option in their provider-settings menu on the phone, and I can send these messages without any problem……. (but limited to 1-a-day!)
    I also configured a new mobile-data network in APN settings…

    What can cause this sms sending error?

    I had the same issue as Tom (19) and others where the phone was jailbroken but it didn’t give me the option to unlock. I had used QuickPwn on a Mac.

    I switched to a PC and when using QuickPwn it gave me the option to unlock. All is working fine now.

    It would appear that if you need to unlock, you need to use QuickPwn on a PC rather than a Mac.

    Great Great service. I have been trying to unlock my iphone for a while now nothing worked 1600 error 1604 got everything out there. This procedure was quick n easy. By the way the workaround for the sim issue is as (42. Willoughby) explained

    I can’t get this to work, i have a 2G iPhone with 2.2 on it, and I followed the steps exactly how it says to do it. It doesn’t start the process, it just says preparing your device - please follow the prompts, but the prompts don’t move, so I just went ahead and did the steps(hold home, power etc.) and a little pop came up in the bottom corner of my desktop saying the iphone was in DFU mode, but QuickPwn still didn’t do anything, so I left it on over night at that step, and in the morning it was just as it was. any suggestions? I’m using Vista x64 if that has anything to do with it.

    Followed the instructions from willoughby and from above and never had the option to check “unlock.” I’m running on a mac, and it seems i have jailbroken and maybe even unlocked. I’m at the home screen can get wifi, etc. My sim card just does not show up at all like it should…… reading “t-mobile” in the left corner. Anyway any ideas as i have tried all of these and dont have a pc to try on. email me if you can. thanks so much,

    Worked fine for me. I was using Windows XP SP 3, Iphone was 2G running 2.0 on T-Mobile with TZones hack. After the uninstall and jailbreak everything was back to normal. New features…not really worth the time (40 minutes minus the downloads).

    I have iTunes (8.0.2.20) installed and when I connect the phone, it takes me to AT&T activation screen. If I remove the SIM card and connect, it tells me to insert a valid SIM card. I can’t get to the point where I can use the Restore function from iTune. Any tips would be appreciated.

    I did “Unlock ” my 2G 2.2. With your process. Finally it recognize my SIM form other that i not At&T Wonderfull!! But I cannot get in because there is a window that sy “Ffferent SIM detected. Please connect to Itunes”.

    I am not confident to do so. What is it your explanation and suggestion?

  88. 88. Halley Says:

    OK>
    I did every action as it is suggested by peolple here.

    Certainly I have my phone Unlocked but just receiving callings and just doin emergency callings.

    After hours and hours…..making everything that you nicely told in here…and inventing other ways..my conclusion is: (poor of me) Your Iphone jailbroken and unblocked just will work as you want ONLY AND JUST IF YOUR COMPANY HAS THE IPHONE AMONG ITS ITEMS TO SOLD TO THE COSTUMERS AUTHORIZED BY APPLE.

    I am crazy stating that after 24 hours inventing ways to fix it? I am right??? Has sense this? What is the Life? Hahahaha…Anyway I believe this explanation could help people to spend their time doing something really nice for another ones, going to mass, sharing time with friend and or family. Good luck.

    Miguel, some programs does not works on Vista (taht’s among other issues, people hates Vista). My suggestion do the process on XP.

    In what company do you want to put your Iphone?
