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.

    • Microsoft updates Media Creation Tool with a newer Windows 11 release by Taras Buria If you want to download a Windows 11 image or create an install media, the Media Creation Tool app is one of the best options—simple, fast, and, more importantly, official. While there are other useful alternatives, such as Rufus, Media Creation Tool remains the default choice for those who simply want a clean Windows 11 installation on a supported computer. Thanks to the latest MCT update, you will have to deal with fewer updates after installing Windows 11. Microsoft has quietly updated the Media Creation Tool app so that it downloads the latest Windows 11 release, version 24H2, with build number 26100.4349. This is the most recent public Windows 11 update (June 2025 Patch Tuesday), which eliminates the need to download large updates for your PC after installing the operating system. You can download Media Creation Tool from the official Windows 11 website. If you are familiar with it, this simple app can generate a Windows 11 image with the language you need or create a bootable USB media. Note that it only works on Windows, so Linux or macOS users have to download Windows images directly from the official website and then use apps that are available on their platforms. Another thing worth noting is Media Creation Tool is not the right choice if you want to install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC. In such a case, you can use MCT to download an ISO and then create a modified install media with apps like Rufus or Ventoy as described in our dedicated guide. If you want a more exotic Windows 11 Edition, try the Oofhours Media Tool, which allows you to select Windows 10 or 11, architecture (x64, x86, or ARM64), language, and edition. In addition to standard Home and Pro, the application can download non-mainstream SKUs, such as Enterprise, Education, or Professional for Workstations. Via: Deskmodder
