jailbreak22 DevTeam Releases PwnageTool 2.2.5 to Jailbreak 2.2.1I am definitely impressed at the speed with which DevTeam releases these updates after the firmware release.

If you are a Mac user or have access to a MacBook, read on as you can use PwnageTool 2.2.5.

If you are a Windows user and rely on QuickPwn to jailbreak/unlock your iPhone, we have to wait a little longer for QuickPwn 2.2.5. Do not update to 2.2.1 via iTunes or use the current Quickpwn version to jailbreak.

Things to Remember while Jailbreaking Firmware 2.2.1

Don’t let all these version numbers throw you off. Just read it over and over again until you understand and before starting with the jailbreak.

  • If you have a iPhone 3G running 2.2 firmware, only use the custom ipsw using PwnageTool 2.2.5 to update/jailbreak 2.2.1 firmware
  • Yellowsn0w – the iPhone unlock Cydia app will not work with firmware 2.2.1′s baseband (02.30.03). You have to use the custom 2.2.1 ipsw which doesn’t update the baseband.
  • Yellowsn0w has been upgraded to version 0.9.7 – so remember to use that from Cydia

Also, make sure you read the different issues and how to fix them over at DevTeam blog before you start.

Here are the download mirrors for Pwnage 2.2.5

Mac PwnageTool

Mac QuickPwn

Windows QuickPwn

  • Coming soon – Do not update via iTunes or jailbreak yet

I hear there are some significant sync speed improvements with firmware 2.2.1 over at Twitter from those who have updated already. Do you see that as well?

      First time I tried this jailbreak, my iPod Touch (1st Gen) froze on the apple logo while rebooting. I managed to put it back into recovery mode by pressing and holding the home button, then connecting to iTunes… second time I tried the jailbreak, it worked perfectly!

      Thanks for this :)

      @Diego: If they’d accept donation they’d make so much money! But I guess it’s just safer this way – you never know when apple decides to go after them as the ones responsible for “iphone piracy” so I guess it’s better that we don’t know their names.

      Well at least people who benefit with some powerful hack software could donate.
