Jailbreak 2.2.1
Quickpwn
Firmware – 2.2.1
iPod Touch download <– for 1G & 2G iPod Touch
Learn how to install jailbreak your iphone! –> show me
Directions how to install:
1. Download quickpwn (mac/pc –> which ever computer you have) * please download to desktop its easier this way*
2. Download firmware (the one that fits your device) *please download to desktop its easier this way*
3. For 2.2.1 make your your iphone is updated to the 2.2.1 software, if your not sure here’s on to check on your iphone/ipod.
Got to settings –> general –> about –> (It will be stated under “version”) *this is on your iphone/ipod not on computer*
4. Extract quickpwn firmware to desktop.
5. Click the pineapple logo/icon. This screen should pop up if you click the right icon.
6. Make sure your iphone/ipod is connect to your computer. Then click the blue arrow to go to the next screen.
7. Now you should see this next screen (below). It will recognize of you have an iphone 3g or 2g or ipod touch.
8. Now if quickpwn (the program displayed in this example) does not find your firmware, then browse for it. It should be on your desktop like I suggested. If you put it somewhere thats fine, just look for it. If you can’t find it, then just redownload it. Its not the end of the world!
9. Now once you’ve found the firmware you should see this screen (below). Now you can click the next button and move on to the next part.
10. Now here is where you can select to install cydia & installer. Cydia is the best, installer is like whatever. But in cydia you will have acess to tons of stuff (video recording, free apps, turn you iphone into a wifi connect for laptop, games, etc) all for free of course and its stuff that apple does not want you to have. I know… dont even ask why… we still do not know.
The “replace boot logo” all this does is switch the apple logo in boot to a pineapple. You do not need this feature, its optional it will not affect the jail broken process if selected or not.
You will see the screen below.
11. So far its said that you cannot unlock the new 2.2.1 firmware, but 2.2 firmware you can. If you want your iphone unlocked you will have to downgrade to 2.2 firmware. *this will erase all your info* make sure you have everything sync and back up to bring back you info. Moving along from that, you will see the screen below.
12. Its another check to make sure your iphone/ipod is connected. Then click next.
13. You have two buttons on your iphone/ipod. The “home” button (circle one in front of device) and the “power” button (top on device). It will ask you to hold down and release these two buttons a few times, its very easy. Here is the process, broken down.
- Hold down “home” button for 5 seconds *do not release at all*
- Hold down the “power” button for 10 seconds (still holding home button too)
- After 10 seconds release (still hold home button)
- After 30 seconds release “home” button *now you can release*
Quickpwn will light up when you are supposed to do the next step. Its easy trust me! If you do not do it right the first time, no big deal, no damage is done. Just redo the process.
Then you will see the screen below once it’s complete with the steps above.
14. Your iphone/ipod will continue loading on its own, downloading the jail break. You can kick back and relax now and just wait like a few mins. You will see stuff going on, on the screen of your iphone/ipod.
15. After your iphone is complete done loading and has restarted back to normal you will see this screen (see above). Now you can disconnect your iphone/ipod.
16. You should see the cydia icon and the installer icon (see screen shot above) on your iphone/ipod. Now you are done! Congrats. This is only the beginning of the possibilities of your device, especially the iphone. I will try and post some more stuff to help everyone out.
Hope this helps with jail breaking your devices. Good luck, any questions let me know. I will be more than happy to help you out.
