Yay my 1st gen iphone is again unlocked at 2.2 fw. Thanks dev team.
Regarding the podcast, why can't it allow subsription to update? I'm not about to type search for each one?

Can somebody confirm this please? It would be a reason for me to use PwnageTool instead of QuickPwn for my never-pwnd iPhone. Thx in advance...
There is a way to use MoibileTerminal to delete Installer. I don't know what it is offhand...maybe someone who knows can post it.
To upgrade from an already jailbroken iPhone:
1) Download the new Pwnage 2.2 tool
2) Download the new iPhone 2.2 firmware update restore (you can download from here http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750)
3) Run Pwnage in Expert Mode
4) After selecting the firmware that you've downloaded, select General
5) Increase the root partition to 1000Mb
6) Go back to the main page and select Build
7) Pwnage will start creating the custom firmware update (and will ask you for your computer's password at one time)
8) After Pwnage is done, close it out.
9) Turn off your iPhone (by holding the power button down) and unplug your iPhone from the computer (if it's plugged in)
10) With the iPhone turned off, hold the iPhone home button down then plug in the iPhone to your computer.
11) iTunes should start automatically and give you the restore screen.
12) Holding the option key down, click on the "Restore" button in iTunes.
13) Select the custom firmware update that Pwnage created. Your iPhone should start the Restore process. It will take several minutes for your phone to restore.
14) After the iPhone restarts twice, you will be given the option to restore your old settings or create a new setting. If you restore your old setting, all of your information will be on your newly upgraded iPhone except for your music (if you manually manage your music). Check on all of the iPhone settings in iTunes since somethings are not checked by default (such as using custom ringtones and manually managing music).
Hope this helps. For a picture by picture reference, go to http://www.hackthatphone.com/20/pwnagetool_2_2_1st_gen_iphone_expert.html
aptbackup does not work using that method. In fact I think it works period on 2.2. Agreed that is the best method to upgrade (restore).

It won't automatically update your podcasts, but if you go to the podcast area of the iphone, you can click on "Get More Episodes" which will launch the iPhone iTunes page for your particular podcast.
That did it for me. I realized that when I downloaded all the packages I wanted in my Custom Firmware (Unix Tools, UIKit, etc) that I packaged Cydia in there. Must have been an older version so I unchecked, re-pwnd and I am now working fine.
What do you mean by point 2) Download the new iPhone 2.2 firmware updater restore?
Also does that guide work with 3G iPhone?
It's really simple guys. Download the update..DO NOT Download and install. Let your phone perform a backup. Once the download is complete, just press RESTORE. The phone will do the rest. Once activated it will ask you to restore from backup...At this point go ahead and Jailbreak your phone first using Quickpwn. Once complete restore from backup and you will have all your apps/notes/SMS/etc... back on your phone.
aptbackup does NOT WORK so don't waste your time with it.

for some reason i can't download backgrounder... maybe server's down? everything else works perfectly, and i didn't install installer this time. i have no use for it.
I can no longer find backgrounder, is this just me??
-----------------------
Edit:
I now see that it's not.
I did. I'm afraid its been broken and pulled related to the new home screen feature in 2.2. Can someone confirm otherwise?
updated to 2.2 and ran quickpwn with no problems. AptBackup did not work at all, but I only have a couple Cydia apps that I use so it wasn't a big deal. Has anyone figured out a way to get QuickGold to work with 2.2? I saw on another forum that people had it working, but the new homescreen feature trumps it on mine.
You download the firmware update from Apple (sorry, I had a typo with it saying "updater" instead of "update"). To download the firmware update file, go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and select the correct update.
As for the 3G iPhone, I haven't really researched into 3G iPhones, but the use of Pwnage seems to be the same for 3G as well as 2G.
Cheers
Just JB, now restoring from my latest backup. Before I JB, I synced, and the bar at the top of iTunes, said it was backing up and after that I then right clicked iPhone and selected backup. But now iam restoring from my latest backup which is the 11th Oct??? Pretty ****ed off with this, anyone know why it didnt backup today properly?
So ive lost over a months texts, contacts etc

Did you let the phone perform a backup before you Restored?
Unknown Error
Sooo I did the expert mode, booted it up to 1000... built the ipsw. Restored phone> put it into recovery mode> option clicked "restore">selected ipsw built from pwnage and it starts up then boom "iphone could not be restored an unknown error (21) occured" rebuilt the ipsw twice now and still the same thing.
Kinda freakin out here, as im a novice at best, havent had any problems pwning phone since ive bought it and have done the updates as they have become available.

Seems like most of the issues I see posted are from people using not using Quickpwn. I haven't tried the other method so I can't comment, but I have never experienced any problems with Quickpwn.
