How to Jailbreak iPhone 2.1 Firmware IPSW with QuickPwn (Windows)

Yesterday the latest iPhone firmware v2.1 was released and it didn’t take long for the iPhone Dev Team to come up with the new Pwnage 2.1 Tool to jailbreak the 2.5G and 3G iPhones. Unfortunately for us Windows users, there isn’t a solution out unless you can get a hold of a custom 2.1 ipsw file from a Mac user. The steps we are about to present work on Windows but only for AT&T-activated iPhones only, and won’t work if you want to unlock, it just works to jailbreak. If you absolutely must stay on top of things, you can follow our guide to jailbreak 2.1 firmware. Keep your eyes peeled for more guides when we figure out how to get this to work on unlocked iPhones that wish to remain so.

1. Download the latest 2.1 IPSW firmware from Apple for 2.5G and 3G
2. Launch iTunes 7.7 and let it upgrade itself to version 8. Otherwise download it yourself from filehippo.
   • 
3. Allow iTunes 8 to update your iPhone with the latest v2.1 firmware update.
4. Uninstall iTunes 8.
5. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support too
   • 
6. Install iTunes 7.7
7. Download QuickPwn v1.2.0 with 2.1 ipsw support
8. Install and run QuickPwn following the steps in our 2.0.2 upgrade guide. The difference will be you select the 2.1 restore firmware ipsw file that you downloaded in step 1.
9. Download TotalCommander and the T-PoT addon for it.
10. Install TotalCommander
11. To install the T-PoT addon simply launch TotalCommand and use the left window to browse to the T-PoT.1.1.zip file where you saved it and double click it to install it.
    • 
12. Make sure your iPhone is on and still connected to your computer via the USB cable. Use TotalCommander to browse to your iPhone file system by first clicking -/- on the drop down menu with all the drives. Then double click on [T-PoT].
    • 
13. You are now in your iPhone’s file system. Use TotalCommander to navigate to /System/Library/PrivateFrameWorks/MobileInstallation.framework. Just in case things don’t work out, make sure you save your existing MobileInstallation file simply by dragging the file over to the other window.
    • 
14. Now replace the MobileInstallation file on your iPhone with this patched one for v2.1 firmware.
    • 
15. Now use TotalCommander to navigate to /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/ and backup your existing com.apple.mobile.installation.plist file first, then delete it
    • 
16. Reboot your iPhone. Now ponder why you went through all this trouble (like us). Enjoy!
