And blazing fast this time. The underlying method is pretty much the same, so following our QuickPwn guide will take you through the way.  All of the downloads have been updated with the correct links to QuickPwn 2.2.5 2.2.5-2 and PwnageTool 2.2.5.  yellowsn0w 0.9.7 was also released.  For those of you that have been wondering why there isn’t a Mac guide yet - it’s coming.  Shortly, actually.

Here’s some tips and pointers before you venture off and start playing with your iToy…

Which process should I use?

iPhone 3G - PwnageTool.  If you are trying to unlock, you must use PwnageTool to create a custom firmware.  This will preserve your baseband and allow you to use the yellowsn0w injection method.  If you’re not trying to unlock and never will, you can use QuickPwn.

iPhone 2G - QuickPwn.  This is what I reccomend for a quick and easy jailbreak & unlock.  The baseband is still unchanged and it is most likely that Apple has accepted defeat and will not update the baseband.

Is it worth it?

In all honesty, I’m not going to upgrade just yet.  In our previous post, you found that there was a fix for Safari and some kind of bug regarding e-mailing photos (which I never encountered).  The BigBoss says if you’re running 2.1 or later, you should be fine. 2.0-2.0.2 have tons of bugs which we all know - crashing issues and for the love of god, if you’re running below 2.0, you’re slacking! Get a move on and pwn that bitch!

Windows users

QuickPwn will be ready soon, so if you’re looking to upgrade and don’t have a Mac, just wait a bit.
