This guide will show you how to jailbreak the iPhone 3g only, not the first generation iPhone. Some important notes before we begin: You must have iTunes 8 installed and you must be on firmware 2.1, if you are not, be sure to update via iTunes. Also make sure to go into the task manager and disable anything Apple or iTunes related.

Once you are positive you are running the 2.1 on your iPhone 3G and have iTunes 8 installed it’s time to get the tools you will need. Create a folder on your desktop named “Pwnage”, then download the following files into that folder.
* Windows QuickPwn 2.1, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/50888951/redmond-we-have-a-pwnapple

When its in recovery mode you will be given directions to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.
