Method devised for pwning first-gen iPhones running 2.0 via Windows

iPhone Fan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:29:00 +0000

Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds

Feeling a little left out after yesterday's Mac-based Pwnage Tool festivities, Windows users? Fret not, because the ever-vigilant, ever-studious hacking community has managed to come up with a series of steps to get you back on your feet again with a fully pwned first-gen handset. The whole shebang isn't necessarily for the most casual jailbreakers -- let's just say it isn't quite as straightforward as the Mac procedure yet -- but it'll allegedly get you going if you're starting with an iPhone running 1.1.4 (there are additional steps if you jumped the gun on 2.0, you impatient son of a gun, you -- think of it as penance). As always, exercise extreme caution, understand that this could cause your iPhone to spontaneously combust into a useless pile of metal, plastic, and ash, and let us know how it goes in comments.

[Thanks, Z-]

iPhone 2.0 Gets Pwning On Windows (Unlock, Jailbreak) Via Convoluted Process [Iphone Pwning]

iPhone Fan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:55:32 +0000

The guys at iPhone Hacks just found a way to take the iPhone Pwnage release yesterday and figure out a roundabout way to get the unlock and jailbreak to work on Windows machines. It's only applicable to first-gen iPhones with 2.0, but if you're really desperate to get your phone hacked, but not quite desperate enough to get within 10 feet of those "Mac" users, here you go. Not for the uber nooby. [iPhone Hacks]
