Preparing to sell my iPhone 2G as jailbroken and unlocked...

[Mjolnir1134]

Hello everybody,

Well, with the news of the new jailbreak coming soon, I want to prepare my iPhone 2G for reselling, as I have upgraded to a 3GS.

I figure it sells higher when it's unlocked and jailbroken, so I want to sell it as such. However, I am unsure if this will work, as I want to restore the 3.1 jailbroken firmware to obviously get rid of all my personal data I left on the phone. (3.1 is the current FW on my iPhone 2G)

Will this be possible? I want to avoid going further than 3.1. I ask this because it was only until recently that I found out that Apple apparently keeps users from restoring to older firmware by not "signing" it when you restore via itunes. I never saved SHSH blobs on my iPhone 2G. I don't know if this "refusal to sign" thing is limited to just the newer iPhone 3GS/4, or if it applies to every model.

I don't want to try anything drastic yet since the new JB isn't out now, but I'd like to know what is going to or might happen.

Thanks in advance,

This should work and once it's unlocked it will remain that way as they don't update the baseband on 3g anymore
