If you are running the latest version of firmware (2.0.2) on iPhone or iPhone 3G and have a Mac and want to Jailbreak your device to get Cydia and Installer.app version 4 on there, you are in luck. The iPhone dev team has a tool called QuickPwn for Mac OS X that is similar to its sister app PwnageTool 2.0.3, but is designed for quickly pwning a device, whereas PwnageTool is designed to custom build and tailor the ipsw production process.

This version of QuickPwn requires iPhone software version 2.0.2 so if you haven’t upgraded to that you can get it using iTunes and then use the QuickPwn tool. If you don’t have 2.0.2 firmware on your iPhone or iPod touch, this won’t work!

Update: If you have updated to iPhone software version 2.1, you can download the new version of QuickPwn for 2.1 for Windows. You will also need to download the Bootloader files for iPhone Classic.

Update: If you have firmware update 2.2 and want to jailbreak your iPhone, you can use the latest version of QuickPwn for 2.2 firmware update. Instructions for upgrading from a jailbroken firmware 2.1 to 2.1 are listed below.

Update: If you have iPhone software version 3.0, you should be using Redsn0w to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone or iPod touch, depending on which version you have.

Update: If you want to get iPhone software version 3.1, you will need to use Pwnage Tool 3.1 to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone or iPod touch, which is under development and may be supported by now depending on which device you have.

1. Connect your device and update to firmware 2.2 on iTunes 8.0.2 – your hacked .ipa will remain even when its updated, but all the installed packages from cydia/installer will be removed and will have to be reinstalled.
2. Download QuickPwn 2.2 for Windows or MAC, and run it and it will ask you to locate the 2.2 ipsw (so make sure you have this downloaded)
3. Follow the instruction and you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch with 2.2
4. After a reboot, open iTunes and allow it to sync. You can still use the Mobile patch 2.1

You can download the official release of QuickPwn from the following torrent files. Tip: Use “Archive Utility” that ships with OS X to unzip the .tbz file you download. Don’t unzip the .tbz file you download with “The Unarchiver” tool.

• QuickPWN 2.2.1 for Windows
• QuickPWN 2.2.1 for Mac OS X
• QuickPwn 2.2 for Windows
• QuickPwn 2.2 for Mac OS X
• QuickPwn 2.1 for Windows
• QuickPwn 1.1 for Mac OS X
• QuickPwn for Mac OS X
• QuickPwn Release Candidate (RC3)
• QuickPwn ‘150? Beta Update
• GUI Version
• V1

1. cant get through passcode after installing quickgold. can you help

   Posted on September 13th, 2008 at 3:35 am by Andy

2. I think it would be helpful to describe what the app does, before you tell the users they can download an update…

3. hi is there a jailbreak for the 2.0 iPhone yet 3g I see that if it’s 2.0.2 you can do I have to upgrade to do this and do you know where best to get apps to do the 2.0 if possible thanks

4. i just downloaded it and when i click on it to run it a message comes up reading:
   you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727

   I dont know what this means, i thought it meant that my iphone must be updated to 2.1, but i double checked and i have the latest version.
   so any suggestions would help me out, thanks

   Posted on September 30th, 2008 at 8:10 pm by steve

5. Thats not the version of your iphone is the .net framework version you should have installed on your computer. go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads and search for 3.5 .net framework, download and install it. and then continue with quickpwn.

6. where do you find the firmware bundle (IPSW)? i searched all over my computer for it and couldnt find it, then i downloaded iphone 3g firmware 2.1, and it doesnt do anything. if someone could tell me what to download or where the file typically is on the computer, that would be a great help. thanks

   Posted on October 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 pm by steve

7. hey Steve did you use the latest version of quickpwn/itunes? when I tested it out, it actually opened the browse button the the folder where iTunes stores the ipsw files.

   Posted on October 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pm by Appmin

8. that was the problem, thank you very much

   Posted on October 3rd, 2008 at 1:02 am by iceman

10. my quickpwn locates the IPSW by itself, so i click next. then on the menu with which operations i would like to perform, i click on add Cydia and Installer, then i click on the arrow for next.. then quickpwn just closes as if i pressed on the X

    Posted on October 19th, 2008 at 9:01 pm by shaz

13. @shaz If you are using Windows make sure you have AppleMobileDeviceService in your process list and that the service called Apple Mobile Device is running. Also you might try turning off firewall software if you have any. btw this has nothing to do with quickpwn 🙂

14. its all alright now, i unlock it with the official orange card thats y. then when i change back to my usual sim card it locks so i did rebooted the phone again for another round of quickpwn! 🙂 thanks every1!

    Posted on October 20th, 2008 at 9:31 am by shaz

15. when I used this I found it worked at first then every few days I had the same results…i got locked out of my phone completely but not before the applications all began to crash in the same exact way. first the phone dial pad would stop functioning then the rest of the icons would not work. My last attempt at any form of fixing this resulted in a phone that no longer works period. I now have a new phone and I am fearful of re-trying this again before knowing what caused the last one to malfunction all together! Any help is appreciated greatly! I can tell you that not only did my last phone freeze it never was able to even turn on again which is why I was able to get a replacement…I do not wish to repeat this though…however I miss having the wonderful backgrounds and icons…this regular stuff is just plain boring! Too bad Apple is not more creative! :0(

26. restore to 2.1 while doing this you will get message ( error ) when you get this close iTunes and connect to the program you used to jail brake, and follow the instructions them close that program and connect back ti itunes and it will finish restoring. I lost my iPod. I can put music into it, but I got my vidio camera back. If anybody knows how I can get back my ipod please let me know.

39. What about upcoming 3.0 iphone SW, will it work with it?

    Posted on June 7th, 2009 at 7:34 am by Alex

40. Okay so i unlocked my phone when it had 2.2.1 and it was cool, i upgraded to 3.0 and it erased all my apps i had stored in “categories”, i paid it no mind because i figured that once i upgraded to the iphone 3gs and used the backup from 3.0 and unlocked it again it would be ok. Well i can’t unlock it, im stuck with the 3gs and have 85 applications that even if i sync thru itunes they will not show up anywhere on my phone because they were placed in folders, so they are still on the phone i just cant use them!!!

    Posted on June 19th, 2009 at 7:42 pm by Greg

    When I ran the QuickPwn, my computer can’t read IPSW file. Please help !
