Pwn your iPhone 3G when at firmware version 2.1 using QuickPwn 2.2 either using Windows or Mac(STRICTLY REQUIRED)
Now, download this Custom Firmware v2.2 using the following Rapidshare links (totalling 236.6 MB, use HJSplit to Join these files)

The following ipsw is with 533 MB root partition (DeFacto as it is termed by Johnny)!

Use iTunes v8.0.2 on either Windows or Macs (Late 2008 Macbooks included) and hold the Shift (Windows) / Option (Mac) buttons and browse to the .ipsw you just downloaded (and joined) and let iTunes do the rest!
You should now have iPhone 2.2 firmware with all the new features and the best of Open Source offerings (Cydia and its wonderful applications which Apple may never approve in the near future!).

hey folks..i downloaded the split files and joined to create the custom isw. But when i try to restore from itune i get
“An unknown error occured (1403)”.
Anyone know what it is?
i had previously upgraded to 2.2 using shift restore from devteam’s isw, then downgraded back to 2.1 + cedia jailbreak…not sure if my baseband is still 2.2 ish tho?
any help is much appreciated
iphoneSG : 1403 is a known error and it should still restore the firmware despite the error.
CHeck your baseband : Go to settings -> general -> about and look for modem firmware. If it is 2.11 then you are fine.
7sid : So you have an official iPhone contract is it? Did you pwn your iPhone before restoring the custom firmware downloaded here?
Can someone please let me know (rabashat@hotmail.com) how I can check if my root partition is 1000 or 533. My iphone is 8GB. T
Check memory info in Cydia…
hi kiran,
i really enjoyed having successfully update the custom firmware non att users v2.2 without baseband update. My pleasure diminished when i saw network showing not available and carrier null null. Would you explain why? i have a legit iphone.
Thanks for your times to shed the light.
hi kiran,
why i can't see my post & yours on the comment page?
i do see only a limited comments on left sidebar.
I am not sure. I just implemented this comment feature for open standards. On the left sidebar, it is an ordering of all the comments made on the site (newest first)…
as i posted on previous comment, after i pwned with firmware 2.1 everything it's ok (means iphone is jailbreak properly, network and carrier connected to carrier). After updating to v2.2 with ct firmware, carrier null null. and i have contract plan for 3 years with fido.
Well, if you have a legal iPhone contract, you need to use the custom firmware which is not activated (check my other post)…
Hi Kiran, i just have one question. I have an iPhone 3G (handmedown) It was my friends' but she bought a new one so she gave the old one to me. She had it activated with ATT (legit) , but i want to use it with t-mobile… i want to use the ipsw with 1000 MB root partition… would i be able to use it with t-mobile in the future? or should I use the other ipsw activated for t-mobile (533mb partition)?
P.S. the iPhone is jailbroken already!
Use the 533mb one, you should be all set!Sent from my iPhone
Thanks a lot for your help ^_~
if you are currently a "real" ATT customer but plan to unlock (on dec 31!!!) and use another carrier should we use this firmware instead of the one for real ATT customers, because this is also activated for ATT (all carriers), right?
hi to all , i have a iphone 3G in venezuela worcking with universal-sim it wock perfectly but i upgrade the iphone to 2.2 the new version . and my iphone is not worcking anny more when i turn it on it search for the service and it gets it but in 2 seconds it turns into no service can some one help me fix these problem or tel me what can i do

I am sorry to inform you that 2.2 baseband is not hackable for unlock… Only time will give us a solution…
Hi Kiran,
I am in the UK – O2 (=At&t) and I want to use with T-Mobile.
Running 2.1 but I've run a 2.2 and it's much quicker. I want to change to 2.2 with the old baseband – I dont run a Mac so can you provide an activated solution for the UK users. I have not activated as I'm waiting for the YellowSnow release.
Help

Please check my other post for an activated firmware… It is the same for uk too!Sent from my iPhone
So , I can use the 533 – Defactor release and the yellow snow it come the 31st?
I'd like to be sure 🙂
Iphone's are $900 in the UK
You are all set!I can send iPhones to uk via eBay for 650 a piece! They are listed on eBay already!Sent from my iPhone
Well I will spread the word for you.
Good job on the software.
Best Xmas wishes
MintyDuck
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🙂
basically use the defacto release?
the yellowsnow it?
recently i updated my iphone from 1.1.4 to 2.2 and it got locked then i jailbreak it with quickpwn22 and i am facing many problems and cant install software on it i tried the process above but it fails saying error 5 cant restore ur iphone. any suggesion
Kiran, Merry Xmas,
checked everything out and read through various sites to check if I need activatedor non activated version but it looks like the non-activated version would be the one.
I'm in the carribbean, my local carriers are not supported so my 2.1 jailbroken 3G is now a glorified ipod. obviously I'm awaiting yellowsn0w.
My question, in my situation the [b]unactivated[/b] custom F/W version would serve just fine right? (think due to me being non-legit user and legit ones needing the activated version I guess)
Lemme know I'f I'm correct.
Tnx.
got a message from Kkiran
So I actually need an ->activated version of the custom firmware.
even if we're mistaken about this I'd still be able to restore to the other version just fine I guess, but tnx, will try "the defacto" activated version!
Yep! Don't worry, iPhones can't be bricked so easily! 2.11 baseband is the key! Meet you in yellowsn0w day! Sent from my iPhone
Worked all like a charm! (533mb defacto version)
still BB 2.11.07, firmware up to 2.2, and installer & cydia.
(shift – restore through itunes 8.02)
Kkiran ur site is bookmarked 🙂
Hello
I had a pwned 2.1, but with a weird problem, the ringtone and typing sounds don't work!, even when the phone was not in silent mode, it remained silent :(.. I read that it could be a problem with the firmware so I just followed this tutorial and updated to 2.2 without any issues :D, rebel simcard working, another black simcard worked too :), but the problem with sound is still there! :(.. what could be wrong.? thanks!
Looks more like a hardware issue… Apple should replace them..Sent from my iPhone
Hi,
I will bring my iphone to the store tomorrow, thanks for the advice :)… but, I don't think it's a hardware problem, it's very random.. looks like the process to keep the phone silent is triggered randomly after some time when turning on the iphone.. on the other hand some people say it's related to a problem with the earphones sensor (like dust or something).. someone else experiencing similar issues? like I said I will check with the store, but since most of the people that reported this have jailbreak, looks like more related to software and may be someone else have seen a software fix to this ( like bossprefs: I already tried a manual way to set the silent service on and off, but my phone keeps changing to silent after some minutes :S )
Thanks!!
btw, great blog, the only one I've seen where people say that custom firmwares really work =))
Thank you! Yeah, you are covered if there is a sensor or any inner detail issue. Try demonstrating it at the apple store. Make sure you flash a factory firmware before stepping in the store!Sent from my iPhone
thanks!, sorry for insisting with this topic, but you gave me an idea 🙂 : I haven't seen how it works with a factory firmware cuz I get the phone from a different store than apple/att already jailbroken. where can I get that factory firmware? yea may be apple but I'm not sure if they offer the latest only or if in the 2.1 they use the new baseband…, I would like to test with a 2.1 factory firmware that could preserve the baseband 2.11.07, and…. how can I get back to my custom 2.2 after testing it?
sorry, I know too many questions can be annoying :S..
Thanks again 🙂
still looking for help …… ??? recently i updated my iphone from 1.1.4 to 2.2 and it got locked then i jailbreak it with quickpwn22 and i am facing many problems and cant install software on it i tried the process above but it fails saying error 5 cant restore ur iphone. any help
What is the firmware and baseband on your current iPhone… Mac or windows…Sent from my iPhone
I was wondering if you could clear a few things for me…
im running a 3g on 2.0.2 and looking to update to 2.2
its jailbroken and activated because im using it on tmobile.
would using the defacto ispw be best for me as im looking to unlock using yellowsn0w real soon?
and are there any guides of the steps of this process?..would i use quickpwn and then use the defacto in itunes? and will my gevey sim work for the time being with the 2.2 update since the baseband will stay the same?
sorry this is a handfull of questions, but really need your help!
thanks so much!!
naz : Are you a Mac user or Windows?
First you have to get to 2.1 using iTunes and Apple's official firmware, then Use QuickPwn for jailbreaking it… Once you jailbreak it, use the firmware downloaded here via iTunes to get to 2.2 with older baseband. This way you can retain your baseband for yellowsn0w tonight…
i am a windows user
also how can i get 2.1 through itunes, when itunes shows only 2.2?
thanks so much for your help kiran!
Download 2.1 firmware file from downloads section.. save it to your desktop.
Open iTunes and hold the shift button on your keyboard and hit restore button in iTunes , a browser pops up, browse to the downloaded file (2.1 on desktop) and click ok…
thanks so much kiran! awesome stuff!
I pay for Iphone unlock soft(29 Euro) but not work with this V. (iPhone1_2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw)or less.??????
I am try it all way but not unlock my Iphone
Sorry to say but you shouldn't have bought it. It is free. If your baseband is 2.11, unlock is available tonight for free.
