Tried pwning the new firmware 2.0.1 with PwnageTool 2.0. No go..A pop up screen saying wrong firmware bundle selected.

Gotta wait for Dev-Team and Winpwn to come up with a solution.

Hey Gengstapo..i'm on FW 2.0 and thank you for the info's you gave me on FW 2.0. AppStore is really cool and Cydia also ok. Thanks

Installer 4 beta is out also as it has only 4 apps. This will take sometime for it to be available.

Categories app by end of this week for Fw 2.0 from BigBoss.

To update or not to update? (From Dev-Team)

We’ve been reading some comments in our previous post “Updates!” and certain people have been a little bit excited and hastily updated using yesterday’s iTunes update without getting the information first ;-)

We don’t see any major problems with the release that Apple made, but we have not released an update for PwnageTool for it as yet and therefore PwnageTool 2.0.1 will not work!

If you absolutely can’t wait then original (2G) iPhone owners can update using iTunes if they really need to, but you’ll lose third-party applications that rely on the Jailbreak, although it is reported that the 2G device remains activated, we have not clarified this.

3G owners can in theory update, but you’ll lose the jailbreak, and you should only carry out this update if you always plan to use the 3G phone with the original carrier, but be warned that there is a baseband update that occurs during this update that could impact the ability to unlock the device (if and when an unlock becomes available), we have not fully tested this baseband update as yet, but we think it is better to be safe than sorry.

Remember, from a jailbreaking point of view the update process is always reversible, but this isn’t the case for the 3G baseband, so your intended long term future use for the phone should help you decide what you do. If you always going to use the 3G phone with the original carrier then baseband updates are fine, if you are not then hold off.

As soon as testing is finished a PwnageTool update will be released that will allow you to safely update either device with all current PwnageTool features still in place and you’ll have the option to disable the baseband update.

The current version of PwnageTool is 2.0.1 it doesn’t support the latest ipsw versions.

Layman’s terms clarification:-

If your 3G iPhone is on a regular contract and you always plan to be with the carrier then you can update but you will lose the jailbreak and access to third party (non AppStore) applications.
If your 3G iPhone is not on a regular contract and you plan to use it on an alternative network to the carrier that supplied it then do not update unless you do it with the impending PwnageTool update.
We will release an update to PwnageTool when the testing has been completed and all applied changes have been checked for safety.

You can upgrade it via itunes.

If you have pwned your phone before, it will remain unlock on Fw 2.0.1. Sadly, there's no jailbreak yet. Basically FW 2.0.1 are bug fixes for the buggy FW 2.0.

If you have custom your phone with softwares, you may want to wait for awhile before upgrading till jailbreak is available.

I would suggest that if you're gonna upgrade to FW 2.0, use the latest winpwn or pwnagetool as it will jailbreak and unlock your phone. Cydia will be installed and only a hand full of apps on FW 2.0 and Installer 4 is in beta stage.

With FW 2.0.1, you're basically stuck with the default settings of the phone..No Cydia or any 3rd party apps yet. Most of us 1st gen users are holding off upgrading to Fw 2.0.1.

Your current iTunes 7.7 is good. Don't need to upgrade. But a word of caution is that 2.0.1 has no 3rd party softwares yet and you will be restricted to the default iphone. However, you have Appstore.

As my previous post, i would recommend that you pwn to FW 2.0.0 only since Cydia is available. It may be buggy but still good. Also, there's Winterboard to customise your phone which you can download from Cydia and other apps from Bigboss etc..plus AppStore too.
