Windows Guide – We will use this guide to:
- Activate,jailbreak & Unlock – 1st Gen iPhone
Important !
- If you have used Categories – Please Remove everything out of Folders created by categories. For ex. Apps Folder – has all Apps inside – Remove these Apps from within this folder & delete App Folder do this for all Folders created by categories – it is important that you First remove apps from within categories folder & then remove the folder itself. Now uninstall categories completely from Cydia or icy. If you do not do this – We found AppStore showing App Installed but we were unable to locate the App (even via – Spotlight).
- If you have Blank Icons Installed Please remove them Prior to Restore.
- We tested this and found – Apps were missing – Storage was taken by (other) in iTunes – Blanks will show up on the device after a sync (This is because Blank Icons are bookmarks & bookmarks are backed up in iTunes) so to avoid complications afterwards we suggest you take these tiny steps to get a clean jailbroken Device.
- Now Hook your device up & let is Back up – This Back up will promise a clean restore without any extra stuff inserted.
While these steps are not necessary but they will surely promise a clean install. We Highly recommend that you Do this. This jailbreak will install Cydia (no Icy,icy can be installed from within Cydia).

man why isnt it work9ing?????
my damn ifone is f**ed now cuz i followed the damn instructions and it didnt work.
@ gweezy… tell us what is wrong now….. what is your iphone doing???
maybe you used a firmware file that wasn't fresh . It is impossible – for a restore from a stock firmware file to have any custom graphics . – Make sure you use the – firmware file that is fresh and hasn't been created with pwnagetool. Phone can not be messed up by following these instructions all this will do is Jailbreak your device – Depending on if you do everything correctly.
p.s kindly do not use profanity…
Man can any one help me
i was trying to jailbreak my fonr but it was not updated properly
i have been trying again ang again but it shows some sim error and ask me to connect it to itnes Please help me out anuone ;-(
Ok so I tried the restore and it keeps saying "the iphone could not be restored" and now i have some goofy ass cartoon guy on my phone and it won't work at all. PLEASE HELP!!!
Update… I got the phone to the new software and then attempted the redsnow unlock and it says it worked, but my iphone just has a "connect to itunes" picture and does nothing else. Help?!
I had the phone unlocked and jail broken before. I opened CYDIA and I was prompted to update essentials which I did. Since then the phone will not boot. I tried to unlock it again and I followed the instructions but the phone hags on "Installing Bundles" for about 4 minutes then it would attempt to reboot but no luck all I see is a black screen with the Apple logo. I tried the process 3 or 4 times; can anyone help?
I miss this site :emotion: … no love for 2G since '09?!?! 2G can now safely be upgraded to 3.2.1 (ideally) can use latest redsn0w tool to make it happen. 3.2.2 is not recommended at this time
