They should have released this earlier this morning. Everyone with an iBrick and iBrick 3G would have been able to activate their phone, not with Apple, but with the help of the Dev Team.

The video is a bit weird.. the interface is nice, but it doesn't really show off jailbreaking/activating/hacking a 3G iPhone or, as a matter of fact, any iPhone with firmware 2.0. Hacking 1.1.4 is old news, PwnageTool 1.1 does that already (with an interface that's not as nice, but it does the job).

I think if you read through the site that what is labelled as 1.4 and 2.0 are what we would call 1st gen and 3g iPhones.
Looks like they are good coders but not as good at UI design

So a video showing a prettified PwnageTool that doesnt show it doing anything new... and thousands of people with Iphone 2G/3G 2.0's all waiting to unlock/jailbrake and unable to because the iphonedevteam.... ummm.... i dont even know anymore i mean WTF a video???

There is an old adage "measure twice, cut once..."
Better to give them time to test than brick lots of phones because it was rushed.

I am uploading the video to vimeo for some HIGH QUALITY embedding. I'm sure you guys are using Viddler.

This is just weird.
Anybody can cook up an app that outputs: I Haz Fail? or some shit like that.
Give us the tool allready, an hack tool does not need a pretty UI. Just the one button that says UNLOCK/ACTIVATE.
Hurry up, man.

Guys... look at the blog posting... it also links to a your tube posting thats 4 months old... which is the exact same video. This has nothing to do with 2.0 or the iPhone 3G.

I dont see what all the hype is for this video. If you really watch it, they dont even use it to jailbreak 2.0, instead they just jailbreak 1.1.4 two times. Also it doesnt show any screen shots of a jailbroken 2.0 so who knows if it works?

Calm down. The video is just to keep you interested. If you read the post it says the video is just to show you what it may be like. They state...
UPDATE: Please don’t pay close attention to the wording in the popups of PwnageTool as this is mainly placeholder text while we finalize everything for release. PwnageTool works with 2.0 upgraded 1st gen iPhones.

Thanks Brian for pointing that out - wish TUAW had done so in this post, would have saved A LOT of confusion for everyone...
Sort it out TUAW - this was a seriously bum post.
Jeff Shaw said 9:52PM on 7-11-2008
Do theis mean that the CURRENT Pwnage version works with upgraded 1st generation phones or that the NEW Pwnage (to be released) version works on the upgraded 1st generation phone?
Unregistered said 8:52PM on 7-11-2008
'I Haz Fail' ? Does it mean it doesn't do its job at the moment?
On another note, I read of people downloading the 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch, but it seems like there are 2 versions, iPod1_1_2.0_5A345 and iPod1_1_2.0_5A347.

Help, please!!! I have a first generation iphone, 1.1.4, jailbroken (but NOT unlocked) with Ziphone. Does anybody know yet how to upgrade to 2.0?

Has anyone tried this with a 1st G 2.0 iPhone? I just updated (with no problems), but now I want my old programs back too.

Very amusing. A video that shows:
- a pretty new UI interface.
- attempting to Pwn 1.1.4 firmware
- FAILING to do so.
- *showing* (but not doing) a roll-over of iPod Touch with 2.0 firmware implied (but not demonstrated)
This NEVER shows, or even remotely implies a Pwnage of iPhone 2.0 (firmware, running on original iPhones), or iPhone 3G getting Pwned.
Not only is this an attempt at misdirection, but it's a terrible attempt because it's so transparently failing at it (to only what would be the most gullible idjits, of which there seem to be quite a few in this thread).
So, if the point was demonstrate that the iPhone Dev team has (once again) achieved nothing, and has nothing to show, then this has been a success... what was the point of this?

Such bitching and whining about a freeware, made-in-their-own-time piece of software. They don't own ANY of you ANYTHING.
Just for the moaning alone I'd delay the release by two of three weeks.

Bwahahaha....
"The video is just to show you what it may be like. "
*may* be like? So, it's an elaborate video way of saying "Hey, if this were possible, this is what it MAY look like"
....including "I Haz FAIL".
Yeah, certainly!

Sorry about the video everyone. The Viddler team is working hard on getting it back up and running. If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please feel free to contact me cdevroe at viddler.com
Thanks!
