Note that the [[N18ap|iPod touch 3G]] and subsequent devices are not supported. With the iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS you must be jailbroken prior to using PwnageTool. The [[S5L8900]] devices you can go into [[DFU Mode]] and restore with [[iTunes]] without being jailbroken.
+
Please note that the [[iPad 2]] and the [[iPhone 4S]] are not yet supported, as there is no publicly available bootrom exploit (like [[Pwnage]], [[Pwnage 2.0]], [[limera1n]]) for the A5-Processor.

Creating the Firmware

PwnageTool takes the IPSW file and patches it, creating a custom version. This enables a lot more features such as pre-installed packages, BootNeuter (iPhone software unlock), custom packages and boot logos. This method is usually less secure than the quick exploits such (redsn0w, QuickPwn, purplera1n, blackra1n, etc.).

Problems

This method does have negative aspects. The most common errors are the 16xx range of errors, which mean that the either the firmware file is corrupt or you didn't put it in the right mode (Recovery, DFU Mode). Sometimes the problems could just be a computer problem such as the memory is full or the USB port is broken. The most common error is Error 1604 which means that the firmware file is corrupted.

Windows

PwnageTool is expected to remain exclusive to Mac OS X. As of October 2009, iH8sn0w, et. al. has announced that they made a project that will bring PwnageTool's functionality to Windows, called sn0wbreeze. [3]
