This is a late follow up to Jailbreaking the latest Apple 2.1 software update with the latest version of QuickPwn 1.1.  You will as always need to ensure that you have backed up.  Download the latest version of QuickPwn here.

Note: You have to be at version 2.1 on your iphone for this to work.  I’ll go over breifly the update in this tutorial, you can also look at previous tutorials on the update such as here.

1. Launch iTunes and have your phone plugged in and you should receive the message about updating as I’ve covered before in previous tutorials - it will run through these screens as you update to 2.1 version of Apple iPhone Software

2. And it will continue to update, your iphone will flash and reboot at some point as well.

3. Once it’s done make sure you have your quickpwn on your desktop and double click on it.

4. Then the usual screen will come up with the usual we’re not responsible if you brick your phone.

5. Connect your iPhone if you haven’t already - click ok. It will auto-detect your phone and continue.

6. Choose to replace the original boot and logos and click yes.

7. Put in ye’ old username and password.

8. And wait while it builds the new firmware package.

9. Now it needs to xfer the information over - follow the onscreen instructions for getting into DFU mode - if you have problems refer to the previous tutorial here.

10. QuickPwn will send the package to your iPhone

11. The software part is done on your mac now you need to watch your iPhone.

13. Here is the new screen, apologies for the blurryness.  This go around you get a status update about what is going on which is very cool.  Plus it didn’t hang like last time for me or the other iPhone of Prax’s that we jailbroke.  Once its done, you’re good.

14. You may want to install boss pref’s and run through the reset of directory permissions.  I didn’t have this issue before but I did after updating to 2.1.  Check here for instructions and issue.

And that’s it.
