Upgrade & unlock iPhone from 1.1.4 to 2.0 using WinPwn (for Windows)

Has anyone done this yet? Does it work on a non 3G Iphone?

Okay, it worked perfectly. Just curious though…after everything is done, and I open Itunes, it say’s that there is a new update. 2.0.1. Is this needed or able to be done yet on an unlocked Iphone?

Also it takes forever for my App Store apps to sync with Itunes…does this even need to be done?

Thanks a TON Simon!!!! it works ! Amazing!

Hi Simon.. Many thanks for this wonderful post..
actually, before reading your post, I was following the iclarified article.. I used 2.01 firmware, both for upgrading ma iphone and the custom file generation. But finally it gives me an error (6) that iPhone cant be restored. Please help me out in this.

Well i tried twice more and finally got it. It went all the way through and finshed with no errors. but when it was done i did not see the bootneauter loaded and the phone says invalid sim card appearing to be locked.
what can i do now?
any help is appreciated.

Hi Simon:
Thank you so very much for having explained the unlocking procedure for 1.1.4 to 2.0. It worked great. I tried doing it (as you had explained to Priyank) for the 2.0.1 version with winpwn 2.0.0.4 but it kept shutting down winpwn towards the end of “doing its thing”. So i tried the previous version (as you mentioned to do), and it worked fine.

Is there a way to put “installer” on my phone now? It offers a lot more apps. Would these apps (which worked on 1.1.4) still work on the 2.0?

Thanks!

Mikeny: you have to use winpwn 2.0.0.3 and firmware 2.0, follow instructions exactly, from step 1. Dont use the latest firmware version or winpwn version. It was crashing on me too, then i did what Simon had said to do.

HI SIMON I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY IPHONE 3G,EVER SINCE ACTUALIZE THE NEW VERSION OF FIRMWARE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS, ONE IS TURN ITSELF OFF, IS BLOCKED AND AFTER SECONDS IT WORKS, BUT RIGT NOW I HAVE IT FOR ONE HOUR BLOCKED, YOU KNOW IF THERE IS SOME WAY OF RESET IT?

P.D. EXCUSES FOR MY ENGLISH I HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND TO ME

Simon,

First of all thanks to your detailed procedure.I had updated the phone from 1.1.4 to 2.0.

I am not able to make any outgoing calls and recive incoming calls on my iphone.

Please help me on this

Thanks,
Lokesh

Thank you so much Simon! Worked perfectly. I was terrified to try this as a couple of months ago I accidentally upgraded to 2.0 without doing my research properly – killed my iPhone for a few days while nothing worked to downgrade it again. But this was quick, easy and worked. In case anyone is interested, this was original US iPhone on 1.1.4 using Optus in Australia.

my iphone is 1.1.4, but always automatic restart! why? if i upgrade to 2.0 firmwork, this problem can be solve?

Ok, first off thanks heaps. I went and bricked my iphone last night & because I was slightly inebriated at the time I couldn’t fix it. My wife managed to get 1.1.4 working for me this morning which was nice of her, but then she spent 4 hours trying to get back up to 2.0 whilst I was at work…She didn’t manage it. After I used your guide I had one hiccup, which fixed itself when I tried it a second time. Thanks for the great guide man.

I do have one question though, do I need to keep bootneuter on the iphone or can I delete it?
I I can delete it, how do I go about doing that?

Cheers

Does this work for a 1.1.4 iPod Touch?

Whoa thanks Simon… You know your stuff

if i upgrade to this software, will my phone still work fine on tmobile network!

Thank you Simon, your procedure works perfect. Good Job!
Nevertheless now I can’t cofigure my pop3 mail account in the Iphone. The following message is displayed after I introduce all the Email parameters: “Secure connection error, maybe the certificate of [MY MAIL ACCOUNT} is invalid”.
Could you help me to solve this?.
THANKS!

Thanks ! i downgrade my iphone to 1.1.4 and unlocked! However, it still restart

Hi simon: i am doing it step by step. but now im having this problem “failed to create custom IPSW! Do you want to close the IPSW builder?” i don’t think i did anything wrong, tried a few times, same result. kinda confused. help plz

1 ) What precisely do you mean by “backup your iPhone data” do you mean sync ??

2) “And you can sync back your data to the “new” iPhone.”
will it have the same name ??

why is it necessary to upgrde to 7.7 ? ( I cannot find any backup function in it

Hey Simon . tnx for all these. but i’m having problem while doing it it says ” failed to create custom IPSW” what should i do??i did several times. thank in advance

Hi Simon, Thanks for this great walkthru. u da man iPhone king.

hi I tried to update my iphone, i can’t complete 13 step, ips3 Creation failed, please help me on this….

simon…need your help…
in step 21 i select wrong file(iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore)
now my iphone get lock up!!
what i need to do now pls…??

Hi Simon,

I had restore my iphone to 1.1.3 , also 1.1.4. but it still auto restart ! any idea to solve this problem?

It worked great in first attempt!!!

Thanks a lot.

Hi Simon,

This is wonderful, I am able to upgrade my iphone to version 2.0.
Appreciate your help !!!

when i tried to restore the iphone, it said something like “error unable to restore”

Hi Simon please can you just clarify something for me. My Iphone was unlocked and upgraded to 1.1.4 firmware. Once Apple released the new 2.0.1 software, I accidently upgraded the firmware which the made the iphone unusable. After many attempts, I eventually managed to restore back to 1.1.4 however the ‘phone’ part would not work as the new baseband was still installed. I have however now at last manged to downgrade the baseband a few days ago and the ‘phone’ part is now working again.

Reference to the above, I am now very cautious on installing any new firmware however I would like to have the App Store function available on my phone.

Am I right in saying that if I follow your instructions as detailed at the top of the page, It will install the new 2. firmware and not alter the baseband so that the ‘phone’ function will work.

Oh and thanks for all your hard work and making many 1st generation iPhoner’s very happy!

Right now, I have an unlocked iPhone on 1.1.4 and I want to upgrade it to 2.0. My question is if I will be able to keep my text messages that I’ve sent/received on my phone because I know restoring it deletes them. Thanks

Hello Simon,

I had restore to 2.0 firmware, it seem fix the restart problem! but sometime , still will……

i think is the iphone hardware problem. ~ no mood

Vivek, normally this upgrade won’t brick your iPhone, as long as you follow each step carefully. I have tried the above procedures to upgrade several iPhones and all works without any issue. BTW, are you using iPhone 3G / 2G?

Simon, I am using a 2G. Would this affect the jailbreak in any way using I am planning to unlock it using winpwn 2.0.0.4 & firmware 2.0.1 ? Its already running a 2.0 firmware but not unlocked or jalibroken.

Hello,
excellent procedures. I followed them exactly and my 2g iPhone is now on 2.0 Well I thought it went well. When trying to use the bottom section of the key pad in certain apps, it don’t work. When the keyboard appears, the space bar and full stop etc, do not work. I cannot write SMS messages without this.
It was working fine on 1.1.3 and 1.1.4, so it cannot be a problem with the screen.
Is this a common problem…..or am I alone?
Any suggestions??
Mark

Simon,

Thanks to you I was able to unlock to 2.0.1 version. But now I want to turn off my Edge network so that the iphone never accesses internet via Edge GPRS. I dont see this option anywhere in the phone menu. I dont wanna be billed for data that I dont use….

Thanks
Vivek

Simon:

I think I’m coming across the same error as Pavan.

I’m upgrading an unlocked 1.1.4 2G to 2.0 (what your link above downloads).

I’ve got iTunes 7.7.1, and have completed the instruction to 21. It extracts the software, then it gets an error when preparing the iPhone for restore. It says “The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604).

It is now locked in DFU mode and I’m stuck (and starting to sweat).

Simon:

I actually tried switching USB ports. None have a hub. Don’t have another PC, but I actually got it working (I think) in a roundabout way….

Got iTunes to make it through a full restore to locked 2.0.2, then put it in DFU and ran shift-restore on customized ipsw file. Seems to have worked and am now syncing all of my old data with T-Mobile as my carrier.

simon ,
is there any way to restore my phone to factory settings so that i can start unlock and upgrading from the beginning.
my phone’s factory version is 1.1.3.

Simon i just want to share this idea about those people who are having problem with the error 1604(connection error). I have this for 2 days but luckily managed to continue updating to 2.0

After reading some few forums the only thing i realized i was doing wrong that i wasn’t putting my iphone in DFU mode. This is the most important thing, DFU mode is different from recovery mode in the fact that in DFU, the screen is black and itunes shows iphone in recovery mode, In RECOVERY MODE you will see here the cable and the itunes logo on screen while itunes recognizes as in recovery mode.

To enter DFU keep your cable connected, press “Sleep/Power” and Home button for 7 seconds after your screen went out to black wait 2 seconds and release sleep/power but keep pressing home button for another 10 sec until your computer and itunes detect your iphone to DFU MODE. after that try restoring your iphone.

It works for both xp and vista OS
Hope this helps…

thanks simon

I think everyone is doing their upgrades well… nobody has yet posting feedbacks…

I’ll just keep on checking your site for updates simon. Godbless

Simon,

Thanks for your quick response.

1) I am saving the custom IPSW in the default folder with default file name. It saves somewhere in appliction data/winpwn/2.0.3 directory. I see a difference here. Your screenshot in step 13 says the name of folder as 2.0 whereas its 2.0.3 for me…but I am not sure if this is the reason behind the error.

2) Can I upgrade to iPhone firmware 2.0 using WinPwn 2.0.4? Is it safe? Because in some of the previous comments I read you quoting one should use 2.0.4 to upgrade to firmware 2.0.1/2.0.2

I have the 1.1.3 8g iphone that is jailbroken & unlocked ( which I didn’t do & have no idea how it was done). I want to update it to the latest firmwear but I’m not sure how to go about it. I have read alot of boards & I am confused because some say to upgrade to 1.1.4 1st , then others say to skip 1.1.4 and go to 2.0 1st. Some even say to just go jump right to the latest. On top of all that I am not pc smart at all. This is my only phone and I do not want to screw it up. I need a true dummies guide for this, NO JOKE!

issues:
1) switch off the phone and switch it on. Takes hell lot of time search the network. Good enough to scare about ‘is it gonna work anymore?’

2) safari can’t connect to server. I am not sure if others are also facing this issue or if it belongs to 2.0 upgrade? Similar error message comes while fetching the emails.

3) push email feature is not working. Is there something I am missing to set? Push property in my settings is ON

4) seems like there is a lag while navigatin to home screen, lock/unlock through sleep button

5) phone restart takes long long time in comparison with 1.1.4 fw

Simon, do you have any idea about this issues or I am the only guy facing them. Did encounter any of these on your phone. Please lemme know if you know the resolutions of these issues?

PS….I am posting this comment from my iPhone 2.0. Thanks to your post and support

hi…

last night i tried converting my i phone to latest version wit i tunes..but when i was suppose to unlock the phone it was’nt happening..on my i phone screen it shows usb cable and an up ward arrow then i tunes written and a cd with i tunes logo….

today i tried to convert it as mentioned by u for 2.0 downloaded all the proframs done succesfully with winpwn but when went to i tunes same comes in i phone screen and when pressed restore in i tunes it startes to get converted to 2.0.2…’

can u short this problem…

hi when i try to restore Custom-iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore i get and error 1604 why is that

i was able to fix it wrong dfu mode and also i have upgraded to 2.0 with an 1.1.3 with the same steps

i m not using 3g its the old one 1.1.3 which some 2 months back i converted to 1.1.4..then yestarday i update it from 1.1.4 to 2.0.2 but tht usb came to my i phone screen..and today i tried to convert it to 2.0 as u had mentioned but it showed me an error of sim…m from india..

can u help me out of this….

now currently it shows me usb an arrow and itunes logo…last i updated it to 2.0 as u mentioned and it gave me sim error..

so now wht shld i do to get it started …

yes I posted the comment from iPhone. But before that I got this error MSG that safari can’t connect to server. It haapens little more than often but not all the time. By adjusments I meant:
1) Chk if my wifi is ON but no wifi network. Switch off the wifi. May be when wifi network is not found phone doesnt turn to edge automatically. Though it shows the E sign on
the top.
2) delte history/ cache/ cookies.
3) switch off the fon and switch it on

Simon I try diffrentcombination of 1 2 and 3 to get my fon working. It would be greatif you or anyone can help me out wid this issue. Coz it becomes dammn irrirtating when you need to get to Internet and your fon just deny it straight
Into your face.

Thank you so much, I done it and now I love my iphone more than ever. It was smooth and easy and I’m far from been an expert…

Hi Simon.

With thanks

Hi, everything went just fine and simple. Had a wunderfull day using the upgraded version. Wow! Stupid enough I wanted the Mobile data on my T-Mobile account….. Trying several things I finally thought it would be the bootneuter version. So I flashed from 3.9 to 4.6. What a stupid thing to do. My Iphone doesn’t work at all any more (error 1601, 1604 etc). Can’t restore, nothing. Has anyone a proper solution to this problem?

i have installed 2.01 with cydia and installer everything is working great but when i use installer it does not work can somebody help me please, also how do i sync in another HD automaticly that way if i reinstall windows in C drive dont have to worry about loosing my contacts etc…

Hi simon,

thanks a lot for helping me..I got through all the things…now my i phone is on 2.0 version..

just one more problem my i phone’s home page is regular..just when i insert my airtel sim it shows me no service..
i did as its mentioned by u went on cydia and tried to unlock it the way u described but still its lock…

can u help me and inform me how shld i do it..

Simon,

Thanks for the response. Everything seems to be working now. It worked when I tried to do this at a friend’s house who has internet. It got past that step no problem. Thanks a ton for the great step by step guide that even I could follow!

Hi Simon,
first of all, you have created a wonderful and very useful website.
I gave a look at the instructions: it doesn’t seem to be too hard to do, but I am scared from how long it is.
I think I’m going to to that in a few days. I hope that it’ll work (I have a 1.1.4 iPhone). So you are really sure that it will work?
Thank you, bye bye

Hi!
Can I use winpwn 2.5 Beta for this installationor is the procedure different? Need help, please.
Thanks

I am using 1.1.4, so… I am going to do what you say. Thanks a lot! Hope it works. Bye

HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I AM IN A VERY BIG PROBLEM. PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP! DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE!
I did all what you said, but when I go to point 21 – 22 it says “Impossible to recovery iPhone “iPhone”. An unknown error occurred (1600).
Please, really, I am killing me for this!
Please, I thank you.

SORRY IF THIS MESSAGE IS TOO LONG
Hi Simon, I did very stupid things. Let me explain you everything:
I followed all your intructions using iTunes 7.7 and going in the DFU mode correctly. But when I came to point 23, my iPhone dind’t reboot automatically, so I tryed to use the new version of wnpwn (the 2.5 beta). But that didn’t work either. But when I tryed to turn the iPhone on, it showed me a USB cable and a iTunes icon. I hope that it’s not so, but I think that it means that the iPhone is blocked and can’t be used any more. iTunes sees the iPhone in recovery mode, but when i try wo restore it, it shows me error messages.
Help me Please. I really need your help. Thank you, bye.
Jack

EVERYBODY just want to let you know that ibrick1.1.3 still works on all the iphone regarding changind sound for sms, charging,email etc…

Hi Simon, it’s still me, Jack.
I noticed only now that my iPhone can’t recive and make calls or send messages. But I can unlock the SIM card (wich of course is not AT&T). Maybe I didn’t unlock it completely, so it can work only with AT&T sims. What program should I use to unlock it? Thank you very much again.

I could enable my disabled iPhone.

Here are the steps:
1. Connect device to iTunes.
2. Backup the device.
3. On the device slide the arrow and enter your password.

Hope this info could help someone in same situation …

I coulnt able to download the WinPwn 2.0.0.3 from the above rapidshare url.
The free account doesnt seem to work and I dont have premium account.

Pls. advice if you got any alternate url to download the same

Hi! Simon I have followed the instructions up until DFU MODE it went well but I’ve put my phone into recovery mode with the disk and music symbol and plug on the iphone screen and cant seem to do anything from here. I’ve tried twice to put it into the dfu mode but it previously kept giving me error 1600 and 1604. I will now do a restore using ziphone and get it back to normal. I just cant get the dfu mode to come up it just goes to recovery mode. Can you help?

Hello simon,
One last thing I can’t get my emails on my iphone. Iphones gives me message saying I have a log in or incorrect password.

Hey Simon cheers! mate. I worked out what to do with Quickpwn to update the iphone from 1.4 to 2.0 and it was so much easier and better than WinPwn. Thanks again. Chrissy

Hey Simon
can forward sms in 2.0

Thank you so much Simon.

You really help me a lot that I followed your posts and upgraded my iPhone to 2.0 from 1.0.2 successfully. It is working beautifully at this moment.

You are my lifesaver. Many thanks.

hi Simon
Should i upgrade it to 2.1 with quickpwn2.1 do u think that would solve wifi issue….

Hi Simon,
I think i could get the device in DFU Mode since in “Device Manager” I found this installed “Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver”.
I tried restoring the custom Firmware but I get an error 1600
I repeated all your steps but still the same error
went through ur other post on errors but still no help…:(

Hey Simon ,

I am little skeptical about using the QuickPwn “process” of directly upgrading to 2.1 since in some post during googling I had read that its better to go by winpwn “process” since it formats the iphone and does a clean install . No worries for previous OS left over files .
During “QuickPwn” process old files may remain which will eat up harddisk space on iphone .
Please guide me … else i wud go ahead with quickpwn
thanks buddy,

hey simon ,

Thanks buddy i have been able to restore 2.1 but there is a problem . When i put my phone on silent mode it still behaves like with all the normal funtions ( ringtones clicks etc etc) I have googled on this problem but found no solution except found 2 more guys with the same issue
If any light on this matter from ur end wud be greatly appreciated
thanks,

hi i cant reach in this step (14. When completed, you will be in the main screen again. Click “iPwner” and select the custom IPSW file you just created.) after select iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw file then after few min WinPwn 2.0.0.3 shutdown it self. please help me!!!

Hi Simon,
Success with unlocking using iTunes 8.
I had 2 iPhones, one a 3G. Decided to unlock the older iPhone so I could use it with my UK and my Portuguese sims. It was already running on v 2.1 but useless to me as I have only one contract sim.
I am running iTunes 8.0.1 and the unlocking + upgrade took about 40 minutes. It was a complete success, thanks to your notes. It took some time to get the right download for the firmware, had to try a few times with FireFox not to get the zip file. Anyway thanks

my iphone died of this procedure. please help me out!! it keeps giving 1600, 1604 error. now it won’t start. help me out!!!

hey there!! my problem is now solved!! I was not being able to put my iphone in DFU mode. then i found something great, it put my iphone in DFU mode with pressing any button. http://limitededitioniphone.com/how-to-put-the-iphone-into-dfu-mode/

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the wonderful write-up.

I have a iphone 1.1.4(which was unlocked 6 months back).

Can I follow the procedure? I am little scared if it is going to be unloacked.

Please help.

Muns

Now that i got my 1.1.4 successful and moving to 2.0 firmware do i need to launch itunes 7.7 and sync my iphone and then open my winpwn 2.0.0.3 and follow your procedure? thanks man.

Hi Simon

An unknown error occured (1600).

can you please help me

HI
I have an unlocked 1.1.4 iphone and i was wondering if i do this upgrade here, would it automatically restore all of my data like the pictures and phone numbers into the upgraded version???

GREAT tutorial simon. works like a charm but i’ve a few teechnical difficulties.
so after the upgrade was i suppose to restore my phone as my old one which as ‘kenny’ or was suppose to start off fresh as a new phone?

i ended up picking the old one and it restore my contacts and what not.

also when i download the apps from cydia, after the install (assuming it works like installer) i would press the home key to see if it shows up on the menu screen but no new apps show up. if i go through the manage section in cydia it says the files are downloaded….

also how do i download through the app store. do i need an account or something? and how/where?

thanks simon… seems like i’m the only one with t his problem cause i tried to look for osmething similar in the comments

oh man thank you simon. you are the master of iphones!!! oh man lot of the apps are require OS2.1

Hi Simon,

Mine was iphone(2G) 1.1.4(originally) and I upgraded to 2.0. Can I further upgrade to 2.1. I am using Windows XP.

Hey simon, do you live near NYC? I am hoping I could give you the phone to do this for me, of course for a fee!! I am not comfortable with doing it on my own seeing how I spent a good amount of money on obtaining it! So please let me know please email me [email protected] and let me know!!

Hello Simon,

Great work!!

Can you list advantages of upgrading iphone 1.1.4 to 2.0.

Thanks

Pankaj

Hi Simon
Thank you for the blog. I have upgraded and unlocked my iphone as you described. Everything went smoothly and when the iphone rebooted and came back , whenever i try to (slide to unlock) and touch any button in the home menu, the phone locks automatically! So basically i can’t use nor access anything. Any idea how to solve this problem?!

Hi Simon

I am a Vista user with a first generation IPhone that was passed on to me from my boss. The phone was purchased unlocked. I was trusted apple enough to click the update button on my itunes and now the phone is unusable. It displays CD with ITunes below it and a cable. The phone seems to have been locked and I am unable to get it back to work. I can’t even use it as a PDA.
I tried to restore it with no luck. I tried to restore each and every single ipsw file i could find but most of them give me an error.

Any ideas on how to restore the system to its factory state?
Would your software work? Kindly email me if you have a solution.

does it work on ipod touch cause i tried evrything you said and now after extrcating they say error 5

Hi Simon, I started with a Jailbroken & unlocked (via Zibri) 2g iphone on 1.1.4 . and on T Mobile in the UK.

I followed all the steps carefully however all went well until step 22, itunes said it was building & restoring v2 and also the firmware butr I did not get the bootneuter screen on my iphone.
When the phone rebooted & came back Itunes said the Sim card was invalid and now the phone is not detected in itunes. I have put the phone back into DFu mode and restated Itunes but now the phone is not seen at all.

Hi Simon,

I am a bit stuck with the 1600 error. I need to try this again. Now I have closed the winpwn application and itunes and also undocked the iphone. Should i start from step 1 or can i start from between.

Also, is the DFU procedure to be done while the iphone is docked? or should we undock the phone as seems in the images in your post.

Thanks

Sorry Simon, I guess I was a bit unclear. I have an unlocked 2G phone (Version 1.1.4 (4A102), not sure how it was unlocked. I am trying to upgrade it to 2.0 using the the procedures you have mentioned.

Since I have an unlocked phone, Do I still need to jailbreak? and follow the – Complete Guide: Jailbreak & Unlock iPhone 2.2 (2G) using QuickPwn (For Windows)

As mentioned earlier, I am getting this 1600 error and would want to try the upgrade procedure again. I have closed the winpwn application and itunes and also undocked the iphone. Should i start from step 1 or can i start from between?

Also, is the DFU procedure to be done while the iphone is docked? or should we undock the phone as seems in the images in your post.

Please let me know what needs to be done for upgrading a unlocked 2G phone (Version 1.1.4 (4A102) to 2.0 or 2.2.

Thanks

Hey Simon….
I had installed Cydia in my iphone because of which my installer application stopped to work.In the sense that no new apps are being uploaded..im using 1.1.4 firmware and cydia is also not showing any new applications…
So what do i do???How do i uninstall cydia and make my installer better??

I have windows 7 and itunes 9 and when i browse the restore file (step 6) the file is split into a bunch of folders and i looked through them all.
