I know, for Windows user, you may be jealous every Mac user who have the privilege to upgrade & unlock to iPhone firmware 2.1. For Windows, WinPwn 3.0 is expected to jailbreak iPhone firmware 2.1. But you have to wait for a bit longer. The WinPwn creator quoted in his website that he’s busy recently and do not have much time to develop WinPwn.
It’s been very busy for me recently at work and I haven’t had much time to spend on WinPwn.But i’m hoping that planet/squpid and I can get the latest version out soon. I will keep you updated!
I’ll keep you update once the unlock solution for Windows is ready. Stay tune.
Update: While you may still wait for WinPwn 3.0 for jailbreak firmware 2.1, iPhone Dev Team has just released QuickPwn 2.1 to jailbreak this version of firmware. Check it out here!

Good to hear that…and yeah sorta eager. Mac has the edge to get all the hard work in the first place:)
AJ, QuickPwn 2.1 for Windows has been released. Check this out if you can’t wait for WinPwn 3.0.
I used quickpwn but it leaves my iphone with no carrier.
Is there a way to use quickpwn and leave it with the carrier still intact?
I have an iphone 3G that’s been downgraded from 3.0 to 2.2.1 and jailbroken but it leaves it with no carrier at all.
I believe the key is to somehow not activate the iphone during the quickpwn process… any ideas?
@PCL, as you are already on firmware, the baseband of your iPhone should have been upgraded to 2.30. Right now, there is no software application that can unlock this version.
Hi Simon,
My thoughts were correct, I then used the pwnage tool and customised the firmware with activate network set to no or have itunes do the activation, then did a DFU restore with the custom firmeware and this got my iphone working no problems.
So now I have a working phone that’s been jail broken, with baseband set by iphone os 3.0. I’ve already got an authorised unlock done on my iphone.
Now my next challenge is to restore it back to 2.2.1 original firmware and unjailbroken.
Any ideas, as I’ve just done a restore on it and got the error 1301 i think.
I’ll do a DFU restore to 2.2.1 orginal firmware and see how I go.
Haha!! I’ve done it.
Restoring the iphone to 2.2.1 original firmware done!
What I had to do or so I think.
Restore with original file and you’ll get an error code 21 or something else.
Ignore this.
The iphone is now is restore mode and itunes will recognise this as well.
Then hold down both the power and home keys until the iphone is switched off and after that just hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the iphone.
Continue to do this until the iphone is bricked and telling you SOS in the different languages, this is your sign to know that you can plug the iphone into itunes to do the unbricking.
Voila!!
Now the only thing is that the baseband / modem firmware will be that of the iphone OS 3.0
