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

July 20th, 2008 | Category: Cellphones

Feeling a little left out after yesterday’s Mac-based Pwnage Tool festivities, Windows users? Fret not, considering 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 fairly as straightforward as the Mac procedure yet — but it’ll allegedly get you going whether you’re starting with an iPhone running 1.1.4 (there are additional steps whether 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 that could cause your iPhone to spontaneously combust into a useless pile of metal, plastic, and ash, and let us know how it goes in Gadgets.

[Thanks, Z-]
