Will "iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw" Break my iphone 2g

Hi
I have an iphone 2g and A Macbook Running OSX. My iphone is running 1.1.1 firmware, is unlocked and originally from America. Not sure if it was Unlocked in England Or America. I want to update my iphone software to 2.2. I Have "iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw" on my mac. I have been told that to be able to update my iphone safely i need to plug in my Iphone and click update in itunes (does this back up everything on my iphone to my mac). Then let it install. After that i need to Load my iphone into recovery mode and plug in to mac again. Open Itunes and then click alt and restore. Find the "iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw" file and use that. After It has Finished my Iphone Should be Updated and unlocked. Is this correct or have i been told wrong? I really do not want my iphone to break beyond repair.

Thanks Allot
or

Joe

Never use "update" on a jailbroken phone... you lose about 500MB of space every time you do. Instead use the restore button. Sync your contacts and photos or whatever before hand. If you have a mac the best way to proceed would be to use pwnage tool and build your self a custom jailbroken/unlocked firmware and just DFU restore using that. One step and it's done
