Hi, i found a great tutorial which explains step by step the complete process for jailbreaking a 2G iphone, but just need help with 1 item.
A friend of mine has a 2G iPhone running 1.1.2, i am going to upgrade this to 2.2.1 for him, jailbreak and unlock, it is currently running a sim hack and JB. the only issue is, do i do the run the "official" itunes 2.2.1 upgrade/restore first and then do the whole - hold shift to restore 2.2.1 from pwn....., or do i start with the hold shift to upgrade with the 2.2.1 from pawn firmware. The tutorial i am going to follow is located in another forum - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1880

thanks in advance for your help

There are 2 stickies on the top of this forum. Read those two and you will be able to fully understand the iPhone unlocking/jailbreaking scene.

Don't read the tutorials in the stickies first, that's why you get confused. First read the information surrounding the tools, for example Pwnage, how does it work, what does it do, is it reversible? Thing like that.

Read young padawan. Going from 1.1.2 to 2.2.1 is the easiest thing in the 1st Gen iPhone.
