The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMG3 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install xpwn
In this case, you should first verify that the xpwn application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing xpwn into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of xpwn with IMG3 files
If, despite the installed application, the IMG3 file does not start in the xpwn application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the xpwn application as the default for handling the IMG3 file.
Step 3. Update xpwn to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the xpwn program, it is possible that IPhone IMG3 Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMG3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IMG3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IMG3 file. Sometimes virus-infected IMG3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IMG3 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IMG3 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IMG3 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the IMG3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IMG3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IMG3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
