Lastly, if you have a 3G phone you have to update through iTunes to update your bb as pwnage won't do it.

Sorry, maybe I'm misreading, but I find your remarks contradicting each other, so bottom line is it necessary to do it for the bb or not?! Thanks

iPhone 3G currently winpwn'd on 2.0.2
with FIDO (legit carrier)
iTunes 8.0

Yes if you want to update your bb you have to do stock 2.1 in iTunes. But you can still run on 2.1 with your current baseband by going straight to the 2.1 CFW (in other words, i'm not really contradicting myself, because it still isn't really necessary)

Got ya! I thought the bb update was necessary! Thanks, I have done two phones here. After doing the regular apple update to 2.1, I proceeded to simply do the shift+restore with the CF. I ended up with error1600 on both. On mine (the first one), after several attempts with error6 persisting I decided to reboot into Mac OS X (running both here) and try in there. Same error. I decided to try it by placing the phone in DFU mode and then going for the CF. It worked!

Now onto the second phone, same process, same error only this time I decided to stay in windows since I knew Mac OS X made no difference the first time around. For this one though I decided to try the method I read about using Quickpwn with the older FW just to get into that 'white screen' and then end the process. Very oddly, I misconstrued the instructions and didn't decide to double check so here's what ended up happening. In windows, phone is screwed with the 'connect to iTunes' image, I launch quickpwn 2.1. By accident I selected the CF that you gave me rather than the older 2.0.1 as the instructions state. I went through the proceedings unknowingly, and at the point where the phone gets the white screen, I attempt to 'end process' as per the instructions. I wasn't fast enough I think, cause I missed it and the process continued on as the white screen went away and the spinner appeared. 3 minutes later, the phone had booted to springboard with Cydia + Installer showing?!?! I thought WTF? Quickpwn 2.1 worked?! I powered down the phone, and restarted it, and after rebooting, cydia+installer were gone and the phone was stock again?!?!

florevil, it just means you need to click on the link where it says to fill out a request if you need a custom ipsw. You don't actually have to submit a request form, but there are more details on there.

I do not believe you can use any CFs because none of them unlock; only activiate.

(If I am wrong please let us know.)

[leovi2000]

Thanks a lot. with your guide and CF it was really easy to update it to 2.1. great work Keep going.

I keep receiving an error6 in my Mac and My PC, I have Pwnaged my iPhone before and was in 2.02 and it worked fine but with all the errors, I finally sat my iPhone as a new phone and now I am on apple firmware 2.1. my question is: Since I pwnaged it before, is it still considered pwnaged by the Pwnage Tool?
Should I be restoring or using DFU?
Thank you
Mario

Hey Willy im still not really sure what to do....im gettin a bit confused now...some say the CFW's are unlocked to work with any sim n some say they aernt... can u please help me clear these doubts

I am on 1.1.1 and want to upgrade to 2.1 ..so

1) Should i go directly from 1.1.1 to 2.1 CFW or do the 2.1 Stock firmware first n then restore to 2.1 CFW.

2) Are the CFW's "UNLOCKED" to work with any sim card(I am on Vodafone India).

3) Are the CFW's jailbroken to allow third party apps?

4) Are all the apps compatible on 2.1 specially snapture, iPhoneVideoRecorder, Cycorder, etc
