WinPwn: iPhone Pwnage Comes To Windows | Gadget Lab from Wired.com

The iPhone Pwnage Tool, a hack which will let you, well, Pwn your iPhone, has arrived on Windows in a beta incarnation called, somewhat inevitably, WinPwn. The original Mac tool has also been updated to v1.1.

Pwnage will jailbreak your iPhone, just like other existing hacks, but offers a special bonus. It allows you to load any ipsw file onto your iPhone. An ipsw file is essentially the operating system for the iPhone.

both Pwnage and Winpwn flash the iPhone with a custom bootloader. This means that the iPhone can no longer check to see if you are loading an official, Apple provided OS.
From there, you can grab any jailbroken ispw file from the net, or use the Pwnage tools to roll your own. You can even load several version on there and choose which to boot into: perfect for testing purposes. If you want to try out the pirated beta of iPhone v2.0, this is your chance.

Its the windows version of a jailbreak solution previously only available for use on MAC

No! It just allows you to change the bootloader on the phone to allow custom apps, etc to be installed.

Are you still believeing the idiot that is Steve Jobs when he said the iPhone was running OSX?



The iPhone is crippled to only allow you to install apps through iTunes. When it was first released you couldn't even do that. if you Jailbreak the iPhone then you can install any apps.

There have been a couple of ways to jailbreak them, this really low level way has previously been OSX only, this is just a Windows version.

so what is it running and no i HATE the iphone hence why that was the last piece of info i knew of it after the lack of 3g and overpricing it was like f*** that... my xda2 does more outta the box and thats like 8years old lmao

They run the iPhone OS. It is based on the same Mach kernel and Darwin core as the full blown OSX, but that doesn't make it OSX. You can't run Mac apps on an iPhone for example.
