I have an iPhone 1g (which I think is the same as a 2G right?)…that I used Pwnage to unlock and jailbreak to 2.2. I would love to upgrade to the latest firmware now. Can I do it right away with my 2.2 unlocked/jailbroken iPhone or do have have to first restore to the new firmware first via iTunes? Basically I’m asking if I can go through the instructions for unlocking/jailbreaking a 2G iPhone using the new Pwnage tool to get to 3.1.2. Any idea? Thanks!

SUCCESS YES YES YES.
iphone 2g got locked due to 3.1 update. i got it to work perfectly by following a guy named manu’s advice, which was posted in a forum. i have given it below:

Hey everyone, I managed to get myself out of it, by DOWNGRADING to 3.0!! (reminder: I was locked due to a “forced” upgrade to 3.1.) This is how I did: entered DFU Mode with iTunes on; clicked “restore” WHILE HOLDING SHIFT (on a Windows PC); then chose the ANCIENT .ipsw file (v 3.0); then immediately used RedSn0w 0.8 to jailbreak & unlock, referring to the same .ipsw — I’ve been quite happy to see the little pineapple again! Right now iTunes is restoring my iPhone from the last backup but it WORKS, i’ve been able to make a call already… Hope this will help! Cheer up and good luck!!!

OK, so i created another .ipsw custom file from scratch. Attempted another restore via iTunes & this time it worked perfectly.

Thanks a million DEV Team…. Seems that the only iPhone specialists on the internet is the DEV Team
