XiPhone - First ScreenShots

We have been working hard on creating a new easy to use user interface around the XPWN tool. We are proud to present some of the first screenshots of this new Windows application. We are also asking for some input. Please post any ideas or comments on features, look feel whatever you like below. The ultimate goal for this project is to release a quality piece of FREE software that everyone can benifit from. While we have the utmost respect for for CMW and his work on WinPWN. The goal here is to take in the suggestions from the iPhone community and create a new Visual wrapper for XPWN. Some of the features we expect it to have are:

• Auto downloading of stock firmware files from apple’s site (no need to hunt for it then select it)
• Wizard based modern GUI (created with .net 2.0), and Vista Style UI.
• Export of firmware settings so users can pass around an XML file which contains a configuration that works for them.
• Auto updates to the XiPhone software.
• Community based wallpapers used for Bootscreen, Restore screen and others
• Enabling / Disabling of options available based on the device you select.

Again we are looking for feed back on the featureset, and screenshots. If you have ideas on something you would like to see added to this please let us know. Below are the screenshots:

WinPWN 2.004 Released

Our good friend CMW has updated WinPWN to support the new 2.01 Firmware. It now allows you to create custom IPSW files from your stock IPSW (Unlock). Feel free to grab the new version from any of the following locations:

Our Downloads Area Has it or http://winpwn.com

To use the WinPWN software you will need the stock firmware for v2.0.1. Grab it from:

Do not select installer for install. It will cause the the build of the IPSW to fail and WinPWN to crash

If you are running Windows Vista. You need to run WinPWN as Administrator AND in XP SP2 Compatibility mode to get it to work problem. You can enable both of these by right-clicking on the icon and selecting the Compatibility Tab and setting it to XP Service Pack 2.

Windows: Downgrade from v2.0

This guide is designed to aid iPhone/iTouch users in successfully downgrading their firmware from v2.0 back down to v1.1.4. This guide should be followed ONLY if you are interested in downgrading your firmware. The operating system this has been tried on is Windows Vista, although it should also work for Windows XP as well as Windows Server 2003. If anyone can try this on either of these operating systems and post thier results that would be great.

Step 1: Grab the 1.1.4 Firmware. Below is the link. Make sure you select the proper firmware for your device.

[iPhone Version]

[iTouch Version]

Step 2: Grab iTunes 7.5. Below is the link:

• Nuke the apple folder inside your ‘Program files’ directory.
• Nuke the folder: ‘C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple’

Step 4: Reboot your machine

Step 5: Install iTunes 7.5.7

Step 6: Kick your iPhone/iTouch into DFU restore mode.

Step 7: Open iTunes 7.5 and it will recognize your device in ‘Recovery Mode’ Once it’s open you will see a ‘Restore’ button. SHIFT+Click the ‘Restore’ Button to bring up a ‘Browse file Dialog’.

Step 8: Select the 1.1.4 firmware you downloaded earlier and iTunes will then restore to the Stock 1.1.4 firmware.

Step 9: If everything went OK you should see your iphone/itouch boot into 1.1.4.

Windows: XPWN Binaries Released

News Flash:

The iPhone Dev Team Crew has finally released the Windows Binaries and source code for XPWN. For those who dont know what XPWN is its a ‘Cross-Platform’ Command line set of utilities for use in duplicating the pwnage application that the dev team released for the Mac Platform a few days ago. Without the updated XPWN binaries it was impossible for Windows users to create their own personalized pwned ipsw files.

This release means that we at iunlocked.org will begin work on writing a GUI wrapper for the Windows Platform to perform the operations needed to create PWNED ipsw restore files.

If you’re interested in reading the full post by the dev team you can check out their blog at the link below:

Windows: 2.0 Pwnage Tutorial

This site gained its origional noteriety by posting the first Windows guide to PWNAGE 2.0. Below is the full tutorial:

Step 1: Use WinPWN 1.0 To PWN Your 1.1.4 iPhone. If you need WinPWN Get it at:

http://www.iunlocked.org/mainsite/?page_id=7

WinPWN will ask for an IPSW you should use the 1.1.4 IPSW. Here is the link:

[Grab it Here]
Step 2: Install BootNeuter (Available via the classic Installer listed as 1.0)

Step 3: Run BootNeuter and have it Neuter your iphone. The selections you want are: 3.9 Bootloader, Neuter On, FakeBlank Off, Unlock On.

Step 4: Make sure your iTunes version is at 7.7

Step 5: Grab a pre-created IPSW Made with PWNAGE 2.0 Mac. If you don’t have one made you can grab one at your favorite torrent site:

Step 6: Grab iLiberty here:

http://iliberty.zjlotto.com/Setup/iLibertySetup_1.3.0.113.exe

Step 7: Run iLiberty & Jump your iPhone into NORMAL Recovery mode  — This is the most straightforward way to get it into the proper restore mode

Step 8: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find your custom IPSW Firmware file.

Step 9: The restore occurs (You should see a crazy pineapple while its running on your iphone). Then you should see bootneuter automatically come up (this is pwnage unlocking, activating and jail breaking your iphone).

Step 10:Enjoy 2.0 with AppStore & Cydia

NOTE: DFU Mode did NOT work for me and a lot of other people so to be safe stick with normal restore mode.
