So if you use Ziphone to jailbreak your iphone, and this "bootloader" or w/e is downgraded, can you use Pwnage to restore it to it's OTB condition? Will it "upgrade" the bootloader?
Thanks.

Bootloader
Using Ziphone will cause a permanent, non-reversible bootloader downgrade. This CANNOT BE reversed without opening up the actual phone. Therefore, your warranty is voided.
If you use a program called iLiberty, I am sure you have heard of it, it only downgrades the bootloader using the fake blank which CAN BE reversed with pwnage.

If you need any help or would like info on iLiberty, please reply back.

Does the bootloader get downgraded if you just jailbreak the phone? Or is it only if you unlock it? I'm confused.
Yea I thought I did a lot of research but apparently not enough.. 
I was just recommended Ziphone over and over again, and it seemed easy enough. I got the apple care plan for my iphone, and I'd like to be able to have the safety net. Will they be able to tell for sure?

I am with Tobefirst, does this only downgrade your bootloader if you unlocked with Ziphone?
I have only jailbroken my phone, works fine. Wondering though if I screwed something up? Don't care about warranty, the second the next gen iPhone is released I will buy. Still would like to know once and for all..
Thanks for any 411 on this subject....

WTF?
It can now be reversed if you add the bootneuter source to installer, or just PWN your phone using pwnagetool.
Your information is outdated - BootNeuter is the only available solution right now to upgrade your bootloader from 3.9 to 4.6 if, for example, you were another one of Zibri's victims.
I had originally jailbroke, activate and unlocked using ziphone 2.5c which downgraded the bl to 3.9. I then restored and used pwnage to upgrade the bl to 4.6 and unlock etc. Very easy programe to use and you only have to pwn you phone once!
You can access all information referring to Pwnage in the top sticky or you use the FAQ to better inform yourself on the iPhone scene before proceeding with any tool. I however, recommend you use Pwnage Tool for Mac or WinPwn for Windows.
Ok, so my bl is def downgraded if I used ziphone (which I did). But from what I understand I can restore it, and pwn it using pwnage, and that will upgrade the bl? Or is there another step after pwning it? Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question, there's just a lot of different answers here and I just want to be sure.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
Pwnage tool can upgrade your downgraded BootLoader. Just use BootNeuter to do it anything.
Ipod feature of unlocked Iphone
Hi,
I have an unlocked Iphone and am currently using it with T-Mobile. All features seem to be working fine. I am interested in using the Ipod feature of the Iphone. However, I am afraid that if I plug in my Iphone to the computer and connect it to Itunes, then my phone will get locked again. How do I use the Ipod feature of my Iphone? I have many MP3s waiting to be loaded to my Iphone. Please advise.

Just plug it in!! If your that paranoid go into Itunes and turn off automatic update. Or when it tells you there is an update just click the canel button.
