(Sorry) "Unknown Error (1600)"

[Jhors2]

you just held the home button while you were plugging it into your computer correct?

[themanofthedark]

no.

same thing goes for iTunes 8.

downgrade iTunes to 7.5,

DFU restore to custom 2.1 AFTER Pwning your iTunes.

you will not be able to do so, until a new WinPwn is released that supports 2.1

the 1600 error means unsupported firmware.

good day.

Note: This solution I read on the Dev Team blog comments, and it worked for me as well. This is a much simpler method than downgrading your iTunes!

Short Answer: Say NO to "Has your phone been pwned before."

Long Answer: When you create your custom firmware in PwnageTool, and it asks you if you PWNED your phone before, say NO (even if you have), and PwnageTool will guide you through putting the phone in DFU mode (turning off the phone may be difficult - when you're iPhone is 'bricked' with a black screen - I had to hold home and lock buttons until PwnageTool recognized that I had turned off my phone) and then you can install the custom firmware through iTunes without the error 1600.

I had the same problem of error 1600, but this little fix worked for me and others.

Guess I'll give that a try tonight. My iPhone HAS been Pwned since 2.0; I know my phone is in DFU mode b/c iTunes pops up a message saying it is... All the steps have been the same as previous Pwnage attempts I've done (previous firmwares), but this is the first time iTunes has thrown any kind of error at me.

Check out the thread below this one about the WINPWN Release date. There's a way to jailbrake your 2.1 iphone on windows. I just did it.

He's referring to this method:

Bleh...I can't anything to work; still keep getting the unknown error 1600 so I can't restore to the Custom firmware. Guess I'm stuck w/ jailbroken 2.0.2 until/unless Pwnage tool is updated.

[ndmx52]

I keep getting this code too.

Here is my setup.

OSX 10.5.5
iTunes 8 (not 8.0.1)
Pwnage 2.1
2g 4GB iPhone (never unlocked as far as I know)
2.1 restore firmware for 2g iPhone

I run thru Pwnage just like I've done many times in the past. This is not the first time I've unlocked/jailbroken an iPhone with pwnage, but the first time I've done it to this particular phone.

Once it's set to DFU mode iTunes will find it and then give me an error saying the phone is not connected or something along those lines. If I click 'ok' it's still in DFU and I option+click to located custom firmware. It will start, but then soon bring up the error (1600).

How can I get rid of this message and finish this up!?!?!?!

[acosmichippo]

well, I ended up restoring mine with the regular software again (not from a backup), and once I did that, the custom firmware loaded without any issues.

My push email from mobile me is also working infinitely better, but that's another thread.
