iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak Guide with Pwnage Tool 2.0.1
iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak Guide with Pwnage Tool 2.0.1. The iPhone Dev Team has gone live with their Pwnage Tool 2.0.1 application to help you for iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak. Pwnage Tool allowed users to hack their iPhone firmware file to automatically restore any first-generation iPhone and iPod Touch to full jailbroken-status right out of the gate. Unfortunately, Pwnage Tool 2.0.1 doesn’t unlock your iPhone 3G.

Pwnage Tool 2.0.1 addresses the following issues:
+ It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they’re on your computer
+ It creates the ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
+ Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
+ The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.
