Need guidance on upgrade 2G iPhone 2.0.4 to 2.1.0

Greetings,

My 2G Iphone has recently been upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.0.4 using Pwnage and I was not allowed to see the process. I would like to be in a position to hopefully do the next firmware upgrade myself since I believe 2.1.0 is available for 2G iPhones and it is likely worth to upgrade to 2.1.0? I read the apples store will only have apps for this release.

I would kindly ask if someone could be kind enough to outline the process and point me to the right instruction so that I do not miss any steps and understand what roles iTunes and Pwnage play and where to obtain the necessary software and firmware. I looked at various instructions and those I have seen have people ending up with problem scenarios following them.

Thanks in advance.

He probably got scammed and paid for it. Anyway just run quickpwn. It is extremely self explanatory. If you still have questions after giving it a shot, let us know.

Yup you are right I got scammed and paid for it ... I am not a young one and my eyes are not what they used to be as is the rest ... that is why I am asking in this thread.

Do I need to do something with iTunes prior to running Quickpwn? And can I save the current firmware (2.0.2)/setup and restore it in case it is needed? Thanks.

When I joined this forum I expected the Apple folks to be a nice crowd and a little more helpful ...

i think youve mistaken b/c there is no such 2.0.4. it went from 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, then to 2.1.

and the process is simple, for windows xp/vista, download quickpwn 2.1, iphone 2.1 firmware and 3.9 and 4.6 bootloaders then in itunes restore your iphone to "stock 2.1". after its restored it will ask you to activate. so thats good, then you open up quickpwn 2.1 and plug in the iphone then it will ask for the 2.1 firmware file, select it from your desktop or where ever you downloaded it to. then it will ask for the bootloaders, so find them and add them, then it will go ask you to check off cydia, installer, and unlock (also change bootlogo but i left this uncheck) make sure you check those 3 in particular or else **** will go wrong, and your phone will NOT be unlocked. then just follow the instructions given on how to get into DFU mode and the rest is golden.

thats pretty simple - and this will only unlock a 1gen iphone NOT 3G.

and for mac: i dont know
