This morning, the iPhone Dev Team finally released Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 which jailbreaks/unlocks iPhone firmware 2.0.1. I remember the hours I consumed downgrading my firmware from 2.0 to 1.1.4 and then finally upgrading to 2.0 when Pwnage 2.0 was released a month ago. After I got back from the beach and heard about Bernie Mac's passing, I decided to take the plunge and Pwn my iPhone 2G to 2.0.1.Instead of downloading the actual Pwnage Tool 2.0.2, I just downloaded the custom firmware that has already been patched and proceeded to run a restore in DFU mode (very important). After 15 minutes, voila! The App Store, Cydia and Installer Beta 4 were now living in harmony.
The only problems I ran into was that the mail application stopped working. It was a quick fix, though. Go to Cydia and download BossPrefs and fix DIR Permissions and you should be good to go. Also, I had to restore my backup three times before it finally stuck. It was so weird. It took so long for one backup to be restored, and I painstakingly had to do it three times. If that happens to you, just complete a backup restore once, and unplug it. Plug it in again and if it prompts you to restore a backup, click set up for a new iPhone. That should solve that problem.
I didn't really notice any significant improvements with this firmware yet. I guess we're all really waiting for 2.1 to come out which is in developer's beta. Apple really needs to get their act together.
All-in-all thanks iPhone Dev Team!
