The iPhone Dev Team have updated their site saying they have a new version of Pwnage Tool and quickpwn. They have added instructions for us suckers with 10.5.6 to allow DFU mode to work again. Check it out for yourselves!

EDIT: go to their "official torrents" section on the sidebar and it will show you the bittorrent links.
 
I am a bit out of it JB-wise; so does 10.5.6 present a problem? Do I have to get the developer account to downgrade to 10.5.5?

you would just be downgrading the IOUSB "Driver"

I also heard using a USB hub between the Mac and the iPhone works as well, though I haven't personally tried it.
 
I can confirm the USB hub fix. I used that when I jailbroke my iPhone to 2.2 and it worked perfectly fine.
 
ahh the dev-team. They never fail to release patch. It's kinda funny how they are always so quick to do it. and I haven't tried with 2.2.1 yet, but I always hook my iPhone up through a hub, and never had any problems. so that should work.:apple:
 
Ah, another JB. I am getting pretty good at it, as I have JB'ed every firmware from 2.0. Gotta wait till I get home though.
 
can anyone help me?
I try to make a custom 2.2.1 firmware using pwnagetool .. I install AptBackup and Bossprefs as defaults packages. I'd like to add yellowsn0w as well; but when I add the apt9.yello..... source, I can't "refresh" the list and get yellowsn0w to appear.

Am I doing something wrong?
 
Ok it's not only yellowsn0w source.
I also tried to add apt.hebdev.com but when I select it from the source list and hit "refresh" nothing happens :(
 
oops!

I tried installing the IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg but then got the grey rolling screen telling me to restart by holding the restart button... and wouldn't start at all. (had to connect to another mac and reinstall the 10.5.6 version to get the machine working again!) Any ideas what i did wrong?

Huh? You're trying to add a source when you're not even Jailbroken? If this is a feature of PwnageTool then do excuse me, I'm limited to Windows/Linux, so no PwnageTool for me. :(

Yeah, with Pwnage tool you can add packages to cydia on your desktop while building the custom .ispw. Purdy nifty.

Indeed my friend. And I need a new one.....

BTW Tokio, I'd like to commend you on keeping everyone straight about all of this back up stuff today. You've really been on top of it, and even reassured me about a few things, so thanks. :D

yep but there's something wrong when adding extra sources.. the 4 the tool comes with are fine.. but I can't seem to add custom sources and download packages from them :/
