Quickpwn and winpwn not working!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, yesterday i got an iphone for free, i had read in the past about jailbreaking and also i had read a bit about the dev team and yell0w sn0w.

So equipped with all the right software and tutorials i was all set to jailbreak, install cydia and then yellow snow so i could use my vodafone sim.

But EVERY single time i try to run either winpwn or quickpwm (latest versions) they wont start, vista says they aint working and the good old problem solution crap, ive tried emulating windows xp and running as adming and both wont work.

The only solution i can think of is to try doing all of this on windows xp

I am currently running 64 bit vista, all updated with latest .net framework etc.

The answer is yes.

I followed all the tuts, activated my phone using the 02 sim, then once in itunes restore etc.

Its the actual apps that wont open, they dont even run for a second they just crash instantly.

That's really strange. I had something similar happen, but it turned out it was because I was running Vista on a MacBook - sorted it out after running the tools on a desktop PC under Vista. I have no idea if it was the MacBook hardware or not.

If you have access to another computer I would try that. Other then that I'm not sure what else. Do you have UAC enabled/disabled?

Yeah it is really strange, im gonna get my sisters laptop and try, she has windows vista 32 bit, so i will see how it goes, its just a pain in the ass and i would really like to know why its not working for me.

I have UAC off cause its a pain in the ass and i know when my computers gonna be getting attacked lol.

Interesting - I develop QuickPwn for Windows and I can confirm it does work on 64-bit Vista normally. Can you give me a screenshot of the error? Incidentally, WinPwn hasn't been updated for a while and so won't work with recent firmware releases - QuickPwn is your best bet. It requires the .NET Framework 2.0 (inc. with Vista) and the latest iTunes to be installed. But yes, a screenshot of the error would be good.

    • Enterprise support (ex. Premier Support) is a bit different cup of coffee. I am not saying it is great, but they have SLAs and I have received solution within hours and even patches within 3 days.
    • Thank you, for not reading the comments above and just reading the root comment... it is just like reading only the headline of an article.
    • I just teams to stop stealing the damn focus every time it starts or restarts after an update. Annoying as all hell.
    • Obviously new hardware costs more money. Never said you get new 2025 hardware for $266. You get new 2025 hardware for as little as $399 and only gets better with back to school sales. At the $499-699, there's some decent spec laptops with 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD with better build quality than this lowest end ideapad.
