There has been an update to the Pwnage Tool.
PwnageTool 2.0.1
Well, the response was overwhelming. :) The downloads brought down several of our servers, and some of them have yet to recover!
It seems that some people have been having problems with our initial release, so we have PwnageTool 2.0.1 for you. It addresses the following issues:
* It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they’re on your computer
* It creates the ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
* Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
* The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.Because of the AppCast URL fix, we recommend that everyone who downloaded PwnageTool 2.0 get this version, if they want to stay up to date automatically.
N.B: if PwnageTool 2.0 pwned your phone correctly the first time, you do not need to pwn again with 2.0.1.
You can download this update here, or here.

Here is a quick note from the ‘iPhone Dev Team’
We’ll be releasing a more official announcement soon, but we wanted to get the tool out there. We sincerely hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it :)
Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.
Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.
Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support†; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.

About Mark
Yaaa! I have a mac, time to get my converter app back where it should be.
Sadly most apps will need to be ported over to the 2.0 firmware. Depending on how active the developers of each applications are. . .it could take longer than you would expect.
But developers haven’t been releasing much lately. I think they have been preparing for this upgrade. Hopefully things will go smoothly.
first of all it wont unlock the 3G
second installer is not there
third the apps wont all work
so way to go… i am waiting for ziphone ;)
@Shervin
Ziphone has been pretty much abandoned. Installer is there, as is Cydia, according to their demo video.
I haven’t downloaded it yet, as I don’t have a mac. :(
Want to lend me yours, T3CKNO?
No Installer.app support on Pwnage Tool 2.0!!!
Sam is right, Zibri has ‘quit’ his development of ZiPhone.
Installer will be ported to firmware 2.0. . .just like Cydia had to be. . .and just like every other application has to be.
There is a way to jailbreak 2.0 if you use windows… but it’s really long and confusing.

Now, I am just waiting for the App Installer ported to firmware 2.0.
how about window users
I’ve already got cydia for my 3g :), now I need the installer.. anything new with installer?
I heard Installer is in 4.0 beta right now. They would have had it included in the iPhone 3G jailbreak but it just wasn’t ready at the time. They said they didn’t want to have a buggy application out ‘in the wild’.
The developers said the update to Kate should be out within the next week or two. . .and Installer will be released BEFORE Kate is. . .so it’s less than a week or two away.
are you sure?! thats great news.. when it is released.. please do a post..
ohh.. one more doubt, does the procedure will be as same as the one i had to do for getting cydia?
I’m not sure, I haven’t been able to test it since it hasn’t been released on windows yet.
When you unlock your iphone what happens?
DOUG where are you?!
I don’t have an iPhone to unlock. . .only an iPod Touch to jailbreak
lol, ok.. do u hav news about the installer app. for the 3g?
The RiP Dev team is still working on it. I will make a post when there is an update
