The Dev Team released PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 yesterday for creating custom 2.0.2 firmware files for your iPhone and iPod Touch and a new QuickPWN for quick and easy Jialbreaking of your device. Their release was not without hiccups as there were many users (including myself), having trouble with permissions, passwods not being saved and Cydia not installing apps. I was able to find a couple solutions to the problems and posted them in the forum.

The Dev Team have since announced that they will be releasing an Update to PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 sometime soon that will be delivered via the a sparkle update in PWNAGE.

PwnageTool 2.0.3 is now available either as a update in PWNAGE (courtesy Sparkle) on your Mac or you can download it directly from here. (Dev Team Server Link)

This new version of PwnageTool supports iPhone/iPod firmware 2.0.2 5C1. It also comes with a new updated Installer Beta vb6 and Cydia of course. The application must be downloaded as a .tbz file from the Dev Team Servers (above) and must NOT be decompressed using “the unarchiver”, use OS X’s built in ‘Archive Utility’ to decompress the file.

PWNAGE Tool 2.03 will create a custom iPhone/Touch firmware that you can choose to Jailbreak and Activate your device, install Cydia and/or Installer.app and run BootNeuter to unlock your First Gen iPhone on firmware 2.0.2 build 5C1. Unfortunately it will NOT unlock your/my iPhone 3G baseband, but it will jailbreak it and allow you to run great apps like Cycorder and Winterboard.

Update 2 - I have added some fixes for some errors with cydia and passwords in the forum please check here

Update: I am having problems with passwords being saved for email, wifi and other things. I will try to chenge permissions of var/keychain to 0777 and see if that helps.

Update:

iPhone Dev Team Release PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3.1 - Bug Swatting Update

iPhone UPDATE: New Windows QuickPwn Release Candidate (RC3)

The iPhone Dev Team have released an update with a new version of PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 for iPhone firmware 2.0.2 on iPhones and iPod Touch. This version of PwnageTool 2.0.3 will create a custom iPhone firmware that is unlocked that will be bundled with Cydia and/or Installer for the iPhone. This will NOT unlock the iPhone 3G, it will jailbreak and Activate the iPhone 3G. It will also jailbreak the iPod Touch.

PwnageTool 2.0.3 is now available as a Sparkle update, or a direct download here. This version provides support for iPhone/iPod firmware 2.0.2 5C1, it has an updated Installer.app beta (b6) and contains a new .de localization for our large amount of German friends. The application SHOULD ONLY be downloaded as a .tbz file from our servers and should NOT be decompressed using the very broken application called “the unarchiver” stick to the standard OS X built in ‘Archive Utility’ to decompress. The SHA1 sum of PwnageTool_2.0.3.tbz is 91e670e0c623cd43f5e8cfbfaae6c23d98d8f31b

Also released today is the ‘150’ beta update to the Windows QuickPwn application, this contains a revised GUI from Poorlad that has tighter integration into the the main updated QuickPwn executable and provides fixes for YouTube and provides BootNeuter support for the unlock of 2G iPhones, remember this is still beta software, use at your own risk. The updated tool is available for download here.

NB: QuickPwn Windows doesn’t work well with virtualization as there are some problems with the way USB resets are handled, so we wouldn’t advise trying it, we have had reports of some success with VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta 2, but this shouldn’t be relied on, use PwnageTool instead, or wait for QuickPwn Mac.

QuickPwn for Mac is being tested right now by a group of testers and we’ll release this when it is ready for public beta (this won’t be within the next 24 hours, but should be within the next week).

There are no significant updates with regard to the 3G baseband unlock, most of us have been busy with real life, when we get any further we’ll let you know.

I have recently been playing around with MagicPad from Proximi for the iPhone (avalable via the AppStore) and I am wondering why Apple couldn’t, didn’t and hasn’t done this from the beginning or yet. Proximi show how easy this is to use and how simple it would be to implement throughout the system. Unfortunately the cut, copy and paste and other text formatting options only work in MagicPad.

It’s been almost 12 hours with Installer 4.04b and I have not installed a single app or game with it. I installed the community sources and it immediately threw up a message saying “Error File does not exist”. Remove the source and the error is gone. It turns out that the Community sources package is missing some files. Its also missing other repo sources besides the _BigBoss_ Repo that is missing all the icon files causing the error. The repo owners are aware and said that it will be resolved soon. If not, they will put out a package called “bigboss installer icons” that will resolve it.

Updated here - It Works!

While I am waiting on my girlfriend to get home form work so we can go have a few drinks with our friends, I am sitting here pressing command+u in PWNAGE Tool to try to update to 2.0.2. I have kind of given up and have been playing around with Installer 4.04b in the meanwhile, and thought I would share my findings.

The new user interface for Installer is really nice. It’s easy to find your way around, and the icons are nice and big. My only real problem is that finding where to tap to enter a new url for a repo/source is kind of hard to figure out.

Obviously there are no real sources listed yet, Community Sources was added and after installing BigBoss Repo was listed, with pretty much the same apps as he has listed in Cydia. I added DanstaFace’s repo (i.danstaface.net) looking for vWallpaper, it’s not there, and last time I tried to install an app from them, it said it couldn’t. - read more
