Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said.

Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.

Apple has released their latest iPhone 2.2 beta firmware coupled with a pre-release of the iPhone SDK to developers. Copy and Paste isn’t there (WTF?!?) and push notification the feature that was pulled last minute from iPhone 2.1 is still absent. Rumors are flying about push notification being added in an upcoming build of iPhone 2.2, the following quote from Steve Jobs is fueling the fire;

We’re running a bit late,â€� Jobs allegedly told a MacRumors member. “We want to get it 100% right the first time.

Mac users don’t feel left out by the release of WinPwn 2.5 Beta. The iPhone Dev Team has released the brand new QuickPwn 1.0 for Mac OSX. Unlock and Jailbreak 1rst generation iPhone 2G/EDGE 2.0.2 & Jailbreak iPhone 3G 2.0.2 in Apple Mac OS X. Unlike it’s cousin QuickPwn RC3 for Windows, this Mac version of QuickPwn only works with iPhone 2.0.2

QuickPwn is not a replacement for PwnageTool, they are different tools and provide different features, QuickPwn is for quickly pwning a device, whereas PwnageTool is designed to custom build and tailor the ipsw production process, both tools will be actively developed in the future.

To use QuickPwn 1.0 Mac OS X your device should be running 2.0.2, if it isn’t then you can upgrade it to 2.0.2 using iTunes and then use the QuickPwn tool, we repeat, it’ll only work on version 2.0.2 of the iPhone or iPod touch firmware.

If you don’t want specific things to happen such as baseband updates then PwnageTool should be used to create a custom .ipsw with your specifics.

It’s update day! The iPhone Dev Team has released it’s latest version of QuickPwn for Windows coupled with poorlad’s improved QuickPwn GUI. This update is labeled ‘150′. Mac user’s you haven’t been forgotten the dev team plans to release an update to PwnageTool today as well. We will make sure to bring that to as soon as it is released.

QuickPwn Windows doesn’t work well with virtualization as there are some problems with the way USB resets are handled, so we wouldn’t advise trying it, we have had reports of some success with VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta 2, but this shouldn’t be relied on, use PwnageTool instead, or wait for QuickPwn Mac.

QuickPwn for Mac is being tested right now by a group of testers and we’ll release this when it is ready for public beta (this won’t be within the next 24 hours, but should be within the next week).

There are no significant updates with regard to the 3G baseband unlock, most of us have been busy with real life, when we get any further we’ll let you know.
