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!

I don't know what to say. I'm shocked. R.I.P. Bernie (50). You will not be forgotten.

UPDATE:

Isaac Hayes (65), too? Are you serious? R.I.P. I really can't wrap my head around all of this.

I saw a headline in the paper today "Heaven just got funnier", referring to the death of Bernie Mac. Now, the headline would probably read "Heaven just got funnier and more soulful".

R.I.P.

Props to my boy Lou for this one. This right here is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

From what it looks like, this Chinese establishment punched in their name into a translation website in order to get the English translation. Looks like they really took the website's translation and ran with it..
