WARNING

• PwnageTool is compatible with all iPhones and the iPod touch first generation and only iPod touch 2nd generation devices that were already jailbroken before. If you have an iPod touch 3rd generation, you cannot use PwnageTool.
• If you recently purchased an iPhone 3GS, the jailbreak may or may not work. I recommend you try blackra1n (1-click jailbreak) to see if you can jailbreak.

PwnageTool 3.1.4 Tutorial

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your PC and then open the PwnageTool application. If you don’t have iTunes then go to this link and download iTunes.

2. Select your device by clicking on it and then click the white arrow to continue.

3. PwnageTool will now attempt to find the IPSW file for your iPhone. If you haven’t downloaded it already, then download it now from here:

• iPhone 3.1.2 download (iPhone1,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 241 MB)
• iPhone 3G 3.1.2 download (iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 242 MB)
• iPhone 3GS 3.1 download (iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw, 306 MB)

(Right-click and save to your PC. Do not use Safari to download this because Safari will download this as a .zip file)

4. Once PwnageTool has found your IPSW file it will show it on the screen. Click it and click the arrow to continue.

5. PwnageTool will ask you the following: “We will now create an .ipsw file that you can use to restore your iPhone 3G(S) with iTunes. This file will be placed on your desktop. Do you want to continue?” Just click on the Yes button.

6. PwnageTool will now show this message if you have an iPhone 3GS: “Do you have an iPhone 3G(S) contract that would normally activate through iTunes?” If you are using an unlocked iPhone, then click on the No button to continue. If you click Yes, then PwnageTool will create an IPSW with an updated baseband which will not be able to unlock your iPhone 3GS device on the current 05.11.07 modem firmware (baseband).

7. PwnageTool will now start the Building IPSW process. It will also ask you to enter in your password in the middle of it, just enter in the username and password for your Mac and click OK.

8. Once the Building IPSW process is complete, PwnageTool will show the following message: “Has your iPhone 3G(S) been Pwned before (does it have the pineapple logo)? If you are unsure click No.” Just click on No.

9. PwnageTool will now put your device in to recovery mode so you can restore the custom IPSW file to your device.

10. Once your device is in recovery mode, open iTunes and press option on your keyboard and at the same time click on Restore in iTunes. Select the IPSW file that has the name Custom_Restore.ipsw in it and click Choose.

11. iTunes will now restore the custom firmware to your device. Once it’s restored, you can open your device and see the Cydia and Icy app on there. That’s all there is to it!
