@keatonec
without too much technical explanation, baseband handles phone communication sitting as a subsystem and modifying it a bit makes a phone to be unlocked. let me stand corrected andrew if I am wrong.
@andrew
as for WinPwn and PwnageTool, that makes sense now, WinPwn relies basically on Pwnagetool. thanks for pointing that out.

@andrew
What do you mean by baseband? What does that do? I’m new at this whole iPhone thing?

Think it will be worth the wait- less fussing around. Installer 4 and the 2.0.1 Jailbreak in one with 2.5 WinPwn.

@Leo: Yup, though I think WinPwn 2.5 might be delayed a little bit, as it uses the same exploits as PwnageTool but with a GUI for Windows users. They’ll need the PwnageTool update before WinPwn will work with 2.0.1.

thanks andrew, so for now we just need to wait for the new release. and it seems Winpwn is also cooking version 2.5.
