I've read that ziphone permanently downgrades your bootloader to 3.9. Two questions: Is this the same 3.9 that shipped in first day iPhones? Also, is it possible that future firmware updates will not be installable if this bootloader is present?
Got a tip for us?

Yes it is the same 3.9.
It is always possible but unlikely as Apple would be cutting off all the original users - so they may force a bootloader upgrade through iTunes if that ever happened.
Eitherway it doesn't matter anymore as Pwnage can change your bootloader eitherway so its no long an issue. Read the FAQ!

Ok, thanks for the response. It's just that I have a ziphone'd iphone and I had a really hard time using Pwnage. It would never connect to the AT&T network after iPwn'ing.
this being said....i used ziphone as well, then read all these posts....now i am weary. but if apple does force a bootloader upgrade...will i be able to do this? i restored last nigh but am now real scared and confused

Don;t be scared if you used ZiPhone. Apple will Never force a Bootloader update. It's just too dangerous and it might cost them a pretty penny if iPhones start screwing up because of the update.
Just use Pwnage tool and you will be fine. Do not panic that much over ZiPhone because the Dev Team came to the rescue

There is a Windows version of Pwnage called WinPwn. http://www.winpwn.com There is a sticky on this forum that has more information about Pwnage.
