iPhone 2.0.2 remains unlocked

Apple updates the iPhone software to 2.0.2. Unlocked iPhones remain unlocked after the upgrade. Cydia and Installer disappear, so you have to jailbreak it again, if you need that.

Interesting.. and how would you do that? :-)

Pieterjan, that is easy.

Grab some Win32 machine and download QickPwn from www.iphone-dev.org.

Use Quickpwn and select a 2.0.1 firmware package to jailbreak your 2.0.2 iPhone (yeah, no typo).

My 2.0.2 1st gen. iPhone is still unlocked and activated, but now also jailbroken and with cydia (and installer if I would want that).

#Sascha : Doesn't that make it 2.0.1 again ?

@Tommy,

no! QuickPwn != PwnageTool

QuickPwn (also coming from the iPhone Dev Team) just connects to an iPhone and changes the already existing Filesystem. It uses an .ipsw Firmware Package to read out the ramdisk inside and boots that.

You can use QuickPwn and provide it a 2.0.1 firmware and jailbreak your 2.0.2 iPhone (1st. Gen.) with it while the iPhone will still be 2.0.2.
