2.2.1 Jailbreak, yellowsn0w 0.9.7, & DFU Mode for OS X 10.5.6!
The iPhone Dev Team has promised a speedy jailbreak for 2.2.1, and it looks like they weren’t lying! Just a couple days after the release of firmware 2.2.1, they came out new versions of QuickPwn for Mac, QuickPwn for Windows, and PwnageTool. The latest versions are now 2.2.5 (Mac) and 2.2.5-2 (Windows). They are available for download from mirror sites at the bottom of this page or on their official torrents page free of charge, like always. The releases for Mac were coded properly without any problems, but QuickPwn 2.2.5 for Windows had bugs reported by many jailbreakers. The iPhone Dev Team quickly responded with an update just a couple hours later. So the newest version for Windows is 2.2.5-2 while Mac stays at 2.2.5. *Important! If you want to keep your iPhone 3G yellowsn0w software unlock, DO NOT update to 2.2.1. I repeat DO NOT update!*
Although 2.2.1 is now jailbreakable, that does not mean it’s unlockable. Yes you heard me right, IT IS NOT UNLOCKABLE! Well… it’s only locked on the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G 2.2.1 software update
comes with a newer baseband which is 2.30.03. If you want to use yellowsn0w for 2.2.1, you will need to use a custom firmware made with QuickPwn. If you update in iTunes to 2.2.1, it may FOREVER affect your chance of unlocking . Because of the 2.2.1 firmware, yellowsn0w has also been updated to 0.9.7. It’s really of no use to anybody but the team. They currently have a successfully unlocked iPhone 3G running on 2.2.1 firmware and the 2.28.00 baseband.
For those of you who cannot jailbreak because of the “no DFU issue” on OS X 10.5.6, then follow these simple steps:
DFU Mode on OS X 10.5.6
- Download “IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg.zip” (yes, that is a “5” in 10.5.5 – this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).
- Unplug non-vital USB equipment, such as external DVD writers, USB scanners, USB mass storage devices, at the most leave a Keyboard and Mouse connected.
- Extract and install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg
- Reboot your system!
- Perform necessary DFU activity with QuickPwn or PwnageTool.
