So!!! After about 2 years since its release…I put my dirty hands on an iPhone 3G (thanks to Frank).

I had touched several iPhones but never owned any so for the first time I am realizing how silly this product is…

I returned back the Nokia 5800 to test the iPhone 3G and the first impressions are super bad!

No Apps-Selector! No Multi tasking…

The settings are on a sort of Control Panel rather than on a setting tab available for each app!

The “Import Contacts from SIM” works but there is no way to delete them all together. Do you think am I going to delete 308 contacts one-by-one????

The workaround was to Sync them all using iTunes 8.0.2.20 and Windows contacts, then copy them all on another folder, delete them all from Windows contacts and re-Sync.

It was so stupid…

So..I have had this Phone for about 1 week but with no Internet connection so today that I am back home I am trying to figure out how to jailbreak it and why doing that is recommended.

About the reasons…I have found this:

http://www.simonblog.com/2008/10/05/why-jailbreak-top-5-reasons-to-jailbreak-iphone/

where Sleepers.net gives you about 9 reasons advocating Jailbreaking so…

I am using these steps:

- Installed iTunes 8.0.2.20
- Installed winpwn_2.0.0.4_Setup
- Downloaded iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw
- Launched WinPWN, loaded iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipwd
- Following on screen instructions to build the IPSW…hehe chose a Linux Logo!…
- PWN is now building the IPSW… in a few minutes the image was ready
- So far…so good…now the freaking part…I am putting the iPhone into DFU mode which means Device Firmware Update, a sort of status where iTunes will offer to update the iPhone’s Firmware with the new inoculated one!…lez see…I am bloody curious…
- The last message is ok… 15/01/2009 22:41:49 – Itunes has been pwned. You can now restore your ipsw using DFU Mode
- Putting iPhone into DFU: with the iPhone on, hold “power button” and “home button” for 10 seconds, then release “power button” and hold “home button” for another 10 seconds.
- The DFU mode was pretty easy. iTunes started automatically and detected the iPhone as in recovery mode.
- Shite! My mistake…I have selected the iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw while I should have selected this Custom-iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw which is the file generated by the WinPWN so iTunes gave me error 1600.
- I have then selected the right file Custom-iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw but I am still getting the same error! Shite!!!!
- I am now restoring the iPhone with an official firmware… (not clicking shift-restore, but only restore in iTunes)
- For some reasons it does not work…the official restore ended up with some iTunes errors so I have re-created the ipsw file and restored that again and..nothing…same 1600 errror.
- I am googling around to understand why I am doing wrong…… found some help
- I have decided to try another guide… this time I will try this one:

http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/09/10/how-to-jailbreak-the-iphone-3g-using-winpwn-25-for-windows

- Created folder Pwnage on desktop
- Downloaded there bl56.bin, bl39.bin, iPhone1,2_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw, winpwn-2.5-BETA_2_Setup.zip.
- Unzipped the winpwn 2.5, removed the 2.0 and installed this 2.5
- Launching WinPWN 2.5 and choosing iPhone 3G
- Following on screen instructions and now it is hashing the .ipsw file to build the custom .ipsw
- I am not lucky tonight…same issue… with the other guide…

Argh… I am tired…there is no way to move away from error 1600, 1602, 1604…I therefore decided to try the QuickPWN!
