so who has tried quickpwn for Windows to 2.1? I would like an opinion on this, or should I wait for WinPwn? What is the difference? Thx

AFAIK WinPwn is just a wrapper for quickpwn. So it's based on the same methods.
 
Obviously it will upgrade to 2.1, and then Quickpwn will jailbreak and unlock?

I think you need to have neutered the phone once before i.e. pwned with a custom firmware before you can use quickpwn. But yes, you can backup the phone, upgrade in iTunes and then use quickpwn to jailbreak and install Cydia.

Quickpwn is safer these days, a custom IPSW could be detected by iTunes 8.

I can confirm, happened to myself and with reading many other forums, that iTunes 8 does detect Pwned Custom IPSW's. I just think that a custom firmware is more stable and secure that a QuickPwn update. Don't put your iPhone in DFU/Restore mode when restoring firmware in iTunes 8, otherwise you'll get error 1600/6 without restoring....
 
Ok, feedback on QuickPwn for Windows ...
I have done one phone so far, and it worked perfectly. Both have been pawned with Winpwn before. Followed iClarified's tutorial, and all fine. Going to do second one now.

Thx for help all! :)
 
Getting back to Swirly settings, I have used the following on Vodacom, and sending works fine
mmsc.vodacom4me.co.za
196.006.128.013:8080
mms.vodacom.net
 
Ok, for some reason Swirly doesnt show up in Cydia on the second phone. I have refreshed many times, rebooted phone, nothing. I know its by Ste, I redownloaded Ste, nothing! Pls help.
 
@morkhans - I backed up with iTunes, took more than 2 hours! Wasnt too concerned about AppBackup, nothing I was too worried about losing. So except for Swirly not showing up in Cydia, everything seems fine.

hmm.. are u sure it isnt installed already? check in the manage, packages section to see if it is and uninstall/reinstall it
 
can someone on here confirm def that there will be 3rd party nav software for this iphone 3G???? ... i heard Apple is not allowing the development of 3rd part nav software
 
@fxit - nope, nothing. It shows up under the 'recommended packages' or whatever its called, but when I choose it, it tells meto add more sources?
