With this QuickPwn 2.2.5-2 Guide you will be able to perform the following two operations:Notes:
- Jailbreak and unlock your 3G iPhone 2.2 using QuickPwn 2.2.5-2 and yellowsn0w
- Jailbreak your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 using QuickPwn 2.2.5-2 (no unlock)
1. If you unlocked at 2.2 and want to upgrade to 2.2.1 while remaining unlocked, you must use a custom ipsw file that does not upgrade the modem firmware (baseband).
2. If you do not need to unlock your iPhone, then simply follow this guide using firmware 2.2.1.
3. It is recommended that you perform a fresh restore in iTunes before beginning, either with apple firmware, or custom firmware although it is not required.
4. Use a different sim during the procedure, other than the original sim that came with the iPhone. An original sim may receive an activation signal from the network and cause the unlock to not work.
5. QuickPwn will jailbreak your iPhone 3G while yellowsn0w will unlock it.
6. Yellowsn0w will not unlock your iPhone 3G on firmware 2.2.1
*The screenshots of this guide were created with version 2.2 of QuickPwn but the procedures are the same.
Downloads:
1. QuickPwn 2.2.5-2 (Win)
2. Choose firmware:
*If you have previously updated or restored, you can pull the file from one of the following locations:
Step 1
- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates

Step 2
Make sure your iPhone is on and is plugged in to the computer. Click the blue arrow to continue.
Step 3
Click the "Browse" button to navigate to the iPhone1,2_2.2 (jailbreak and unlock) or to the
iPhone1,2_2.2.1 (jailbreak only) you downloaded.
Step 4
Select the appropriate file and click "Open".
Step 5
Once QuickPwn recognizes the correct file, a green check-mark will appear. Click the blue arrow to continue.
Step 6
Select the operations that you want QuickPwn to perform. Click the blue arrow to continue.
Step 7
Again, ensure that your iPhone is connected via usb and click the blue arrow to continue.
Step 8
Your phone will now go into Recovery Mode. Prepare yourself to hold down the "Home" button.
Step 9
You will be prompted to hold down the "Home" button for a total of 5 seconds.
Step 10
Do not let go of the "Home" button!
You will be prompted to hold down the "Power" button with the "Home" button for a total of 10 seconds.
Step 11
Again, keep holding down the "Home" button while releasing the "Power" button.
You will be prompted to continue holding down the "Home" button for a final 30 seconds.
Step 12
QuickPwn will now commence the jailbreaking process.
Step 13
QuickPwn will alert you when it has completed it's process and is successful.
Step 14
Wait for the iPhone to finish flashing, then it will reboot on it's own.

Step 15
To unlock your iPhone you must install yellowsn0w (as of this writing the latest version is 0.9.8). If you don't already have it in your sources you may add one of the sources below depending on whether you prefer Cydia or Installer (I will use Cydia for this guide):
Once you've added the source, tap it to see the available yellowsn0w app.
- Cydia source: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/
- Installer repo: http://i.yellowsn0w.com/
Step 16
Tap the yellowsn0w app to go to the installation page, then tap "Install".

Step 17
Click confirm and wait for Cydia to install yellowsn0w.

Step 18
Exit Cydia and reboot your phone with the 3rd party sim. You should almost immediately get a signal. If not, try a sim-reinsert. This problem should be solved in a later release. Also, if you are on T-Mobile, be sure to turn off 3G.
Congratulations and enjoy!![]()
