Thought would post this here incase anyone else needs this help...
So after days and days of searching the internet and absolutely everything going wrong, I managed to upgrade my unlocked iPhone 2G 1.0.2 to 2.1. It was probably the most time consuming kind of hack I've ever had to go through. But really, should have only taken an hour or so if I had this advice. Now I'm sure there are other ways but this worked for me. And it may seem odd to Quickpwn before Pwnagetool, but this worked, where everything else didn't.
PROBLEM: iTunes 8, iPhone 2G, 1.0.2. unlocked with unknown hack/software. Want to upgrade to 2.1.
SOLUTION:
1) Virginize.
This can be done easily using a script downloaded via installer (many tutorials on this are all over the net). Though if installer is crashing, follow this:

You can use terminal and cyberduck if on mac.
2) Restore to 2.1.
Just do a normal restore via iTunes 8. Your iPhone will be wiped and locked.
3) QuickPwn.
Run QuickPwn, do what it says. You iPhone is now unlocked and jailbroken.
You could stop here, and have a working unlocked iPhone with 2.1, but in my case it was really buggy.
4) Pwnagetool.
Create your pwned ipsw with Pwnagetool. Follow one of many online tutorials for this. If in expert mode, don't add additional packages. This avoids errors and you can always add them later via installer/cydia.
5) Restore with Custom IPSW 2.1
Unplug the iPhone.
If Pwnagetool as put your iPhone into DFU mode, hold the power down for 10 seconds to turn it back on.
Now, plug it back in. Option-click restore in iTunes and select your pwnd ipsw 2.1 file.
This avoids errors.
6) Sync and Complete.
All done.
Hope that helps somebody out there.
