    the first iphone right? (just wanna make sure, some people call the iphone 3G the 2G bc it came out second). i'm going to assume you mean the first iphone.

    download: redsn0w 0.9.4
    download: ios 3.1.2 AND ios 3.1.3
    download: bootloaders 3.9 AND 4.6

    Restore to 3.1.3 in itunes.

    open redsn0w, select the ios 3.1.2 (NOT ios 3.1.3). select the options etc you want, including unlock.

    direct redsn0w to the 3.6\4.6 bootloaders and jailbreak your iphone.

    your now on the latest iphone 2g FW (3.1.3) and unloked and jailbroken for life.

    have fun =)

    Same process as the 2G, just don't need the bootloader files.

    Just don't hit upgrade on the 3G. It'll take you to 4.2.1.

    Well yes but you're not installing 3.1.2 you're just using that to get redsn0w to jb the phone after restoring to 3.1.3. And yes I suppose it stops there, you've jailbroken after using redsn0w.
