@Everyone with “App Store” app problems. After loading the custom firmware onto your ipod touch or iphone… BEFORE you open cydia or installer… you have to download and run a app from the “App Store”… just install and load “remote” or something else free. After that, you can open Cydia and install all the other goodies.

I don’t know what causes it, but it took a lot of hunting to find the solution. I hope that the creators of winpwn add some kind of disclaimer to the program about this… sure is confusing.

I hope that helps!

Sorry I missed dangerous dave’s comment.

I can’t find the Authorize computer in the iTunes menu. Are you referring to the iTunes menu on your phone? Or on the computer?

The regular iTune Apps do not work with my iPhone after I use WinPwn to jailbreak it. I was just curious if I did something wrong that it wouldn’t work or is that just the way it it?

Incase they are suppose to work, when I click on the icon for an app it starts to open, after 4 seconds it returns to the homescreen of the iPhone.

I had the same problem, solved it by going to “Authorize Computer” in the Store menu of iTunes. After doing this I synced the iPhone with iTunes and then the apps mysteriously started working. Must be some kind of permissions issue…

After using winpwn 2.5 to make my custom firmware using 2.0.2 … and installing that firmware to the ipod… Cydia and Installer software works great.

However, “App Store” software will load, and then the ipod will immediately return to the springboard screen. No App Store software will run. Is this an unpleasant side effect of jailbreaking this time around? Or just a glitch that the makers of winpwn haven’t fixed? Or is it just me?
