The jailbreak and unlock an iPhone first generation, or 2G Classic also called, has become a problem - Apple's focus is again locked out of the Jailbreaker 3GS. The following howto to Jailbreak / Unlock the iPhone using PwnageTool Classic/2G was a brief prologue and epilogue with a donated-AptBackup highly recommended application to a manual reinstall the Cydia apps after Neubespielen of 2G Jailbreak and iPhoneOS3.1 Unlock and save.

Because that can go into the time - be installed via Cydia iPhone applications do not naturally synchronized with iTunes and secured. If you look after Neuaofsetzen the iPhone Classic will save the Installiererei, above all other AptBackup install, start and create the backup.

Then hung his iPhone to your Mac and can run through the synchronization with iTunes. AptBackup sets of data about the installed Cydia apps from the backup file of the iPhone. By which the apps are not restored, but reinstalled - Scores, for example, are lost. Saves time reinstalling still en bloc.

Now we start the actual jailbreak / Unlockprozedur. Even a brief preface: it is for the 3G jailbreak or unlock any moment yet. All experiments in this regard should be left to you. The following instructions are for the 2G/Classic - first-generation aluminum body. Some of the settings shown here could possibly lead to the permanent loss of 3G Jailbreak / unlocks. The Jailbreak / Unlock Guide for iPhone 3G and iPhoneOS 3.0 also applies to 3.1 - just with the current version of PwnageTool . Some difficulties have been observed here .

Back to our 2G-Unlock/Jailbreak. For that we need
PwnageTool 3.1 ( or torrent mirrors )
The official firmware for 2G ( Apple downloads )
If necessary. the bootloader 3.9 and 4.6 (eg here ).

PwnageTool unzip, copy to a folder (Programs, for obvious reasons) it. The ISPW example, load and place it on the desktop.

After the start of PwnageTool choose the "iPhone" from. The following is the expert mode is used, some settings - depending on Unlockbedarf - be different.

If PwnageTool prompting you choose the right firmware that you want to play on the iPhone. We specify the loaded 1.1 _3.1_7C144.

Here we choose in the general settings of the automatic activation via PwnageTool, because the example uses an iPhone with AT & T Classic simlock. Anyone who uses a factory simlockfreies iPhone, just "activate iPhone" on the hook. "Baseband update" is enabled in 2G Who but a 3G or 3G is on the way. Here NOT upgrade your baseband!

At BootNeuter we use in the event of a curly iPhone settings below, who has no simlock disabled on the iPhone, here "Neuter Bootloader". Finally, choose "Create" and click the arrow to continue.

Now PwnageTool builds the modified firmware and puts them on the desk.

When asked whether the iPhone has been worked with Pwnage, we say no. If the iPhone still will not depend on the computer via USB, we connect it with PwnageTool or help re-plug off and on the jumps. iTunes synchronization program and the images we finish in the event of their automatic startup.

With a long press on power and the "off" slider, the iPhone is now disabled. Subsequently, the PwnageTool instructions on how to put iPhone in DFU mode is (10sec Home / power, then release the Power button and hold for 10 seconds Home button pressed.)

Now iTunes will start again and notifies an iPhone for maintenance. We confirm with OK.

While holding down the ALT key, we click on the "Restore" button. Then we can choose the ISPW, which is to be installed. Here we have created the custom variant, the PwnageTool.

The recovery in progress for a while, then a Neustart.Meldung the iPhone, follow the BootNeuter messages. The iPhone will reboot again. Subsequently, via iTunes, the last backup will be recorded. Following is the second last reboot.

Now we ask for the "official" apps also have the Cydia apps restored. We re-install via Cydia AptBackup (and advisably while also accumulating updates of Cydia itself). AptBackup starts and we will select "Restore".

Depending on the amount and size of installed Cydia apps the restore can now also take some time, then boot the iPhone one last time and should be back in original condition - on iPhoneOS 3.1.
