Possible to upgrade Baseband with Pwnage Tool?

[DannyBres]

I dont wanna upgrade to 2.2.1 because im happy with my phone ATM and it will be a lot of hassle doing it all again.

Is it possible to build a 2.2.1 IPSW in the Pwnage Tool that will upgrade the baseband? I can see the option but it is blanked out.

If i restores to a original IPSW to get the baseband update then ran qucikpwn would i need to put it in DFU mode?

Pwnage tool by default creates a custom firmware without the baseband update in order to preserve Yellowsn0w compatibility but..

If i restores to a original IPSW to get the baseband update then ran qucikpwn would i need to put it in DFU mode?

As you are from UK...if O2 is your prefered carrier...and you really think that youll be happy with O2 for a long time...you´re safe to update directly from itunes and your baseband will be updated, then you can quickpwn as usually ( yes you´ll need to put your iphone on DFU mode ) ...However if you´re not on O2...you should not update de baseband.

Update normally then Quickpwn will do it.

However if you really want to use pwnage, I wouldn't worry too much about missing the Baseband update... It will actually give your phone a higher re-sale value should you fancy selling it in a month or so because it would be able to be unlocked.

I wont be moving from O2 or selling my phone for ages. I also would like a way to update to 2.2.1 get the baseband update and not need to change USB drivers for DFU mode
