3. At the bottom of [the Dev Team’s blog] post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.

4. These are suitable for [Apple’s] recent [iPhone OS] 2.2 [firmware update] release.

5. Please read all parts of [the iPhone Dev Team’s blog] post before downloading and using these tools.

6. The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode.  While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned.  If in any doubt use a different machine.

7. Choosing the correct tool is crucial. Be warned!

The Dev Team has plenty more info on its site on basebands, unlocks and iPod Touch 1st-gen jailbreaking, as well as hundreds of comments from users, some of whom have had issues you might find helpful in sorting out any problems you have.

Hopefully all will work smoothly for you, and hopefully iPhone 3G owners who have followed the Dev Team’s instructions to only update with Pwned firmware will get to enjoy an unofficial iPhone 3G unlock soon!

After all, there’s little over a month before Christmas. With the Dev Team seemingly so close, iPhone 3G owners could find that Christmas comes twice this year.
