The Info:

Alright, so you’ve decided you want to jailbreak your iPhone/iTouch on your Mac using QuickPwn. Here are the advantages and disadvantages to this method:

Advantages:

1. You don’t have to restore your iPhone, meaning that you don’t lose any data on it.
2. Its a considerably faster process

Disadvantages:

1. If your using the iPhone 3G, IT WILL UPDATE YOUR BASEBAND. This means that if you want to unlock your iPhone 3, you will have to downgrade your baseband first.
2. You can’t preinstall any packages in Cydia.

The Requirements:

1. Mac OS X
2. iPhone 2G or iPhone 3G or iTouch 1g
   

The Process:

(The pictures in this guide were taken while jailbreaking an iPhone 3G, but the process is the same regardless of which device you have)

1. Download the following files if you haven’t already:
   QuickPwn 2.2.1 for Mac OS X
   iPhone 2G 2.2.1 Firmware
   iPhone 3G 2.2.1 Firmware
   iTouch 1g 2.2.1 Firmware
2. Connect your iDevice and close iTunes
3. Open up QuickPwn
4. Click “OK” to the copyright notification
   
5. Click “Ok” to the next message
   
6. QuickPwn will detect your iDevice
   
7. QuickPwn will attempt to automatically find the Restore file on your computer. If it can’t find it, you will have to browse to where you download it to.
   
8. QuickPwn will ask if you want to replace the original boot and restore logos. I personally prefer the QuickPwn logos, but you may choose to keep the original logos if you want.
   
9. QuickPwn will now build the custom restore file that it will use to jailbreak your iDevice. This may take several minutes.
   
10. QuickPwn will ask for your password because it need administrator privileges for some of the process.
    
11. You will need to put your iDevice in DFU mode to continue. QuickPwn will give you steps and a timer to help you.
    
    
    
12. QuickPwn will send the necessary files to your iDevice.
    
13. QuickPwn will tell you that it has finished its part and that you shouldn’t touch your iDevice until is has rebooted. This step may take a few minutes.
    

Congratulations! Once your iDevice has rebooted, you will be jailbroken and you can install jailbroken software through Cydia.
