Jailbreak for Windows Users Now Available, WinPwn 2.0 Released

The WinPwn site has just updated and released the much anticipated WinPwn 2.0! Following the release of PwnageTool 2.0 which offered a Mac only jailbreak just days ago, Windows users held their breaths as they waited for their own. Enter WinPwn 2.0, which you can download HERE. Stay tuned for a detailed Newbie's Guide to Jailbreaking with WinPwn 2.0, including step-by-step instructions, accompanying screenshots, and a full review. From the developer's site, WinPwn 2.0 offers:

Support for both 1.1.4 and 2.0

Custom Image Support

Custom Payload Support

3g iPhone support

And here's a brief install guide:

First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder.

Click "Ipwner" and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash Custom IPSW files via DFU mode

Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode. If you don't know how to do this click Here.

Once you are in DFU mode Itunes will pop up and then you can hold shift and click restore and browse to your custom IPSW file.

Done!

And here's other pertinent info from the post:

Bugs Some users have had problems with installing Cydia on Windows XP. This will be fixed in tomorrows release Important Notes Remove Winpwn 1.0 completely if you have it installed. Installing over the top of WinPwn 1.0 will cause problems. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes ( Currently 7.7) If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix Thanks again for all those who supported me. WinPwn was made possible by PlanetBeing, Squpix and the dev team ( Especially Wizdaz, MuscleNerd, Gray, Pumpkin, bgm, roxfan ). I will be updating WinPwn with some better features and upgrading the credits and help sections over the next few days. Much love \cmw
