Update: Jailbreak for 3G, PwnageTool 2.0.1 Released
July 20, 2008
Less than 24 hours after launching the initial version of PwnageTool 2.0, the iPhone Dev Team is at it again with a snappy 2.0.1 update.
This new iteration of the world's first 3G jailbreaking software makes make the install process a little easier (auto-finding bootloaders), smoother (no more eternal bouncing icon), and more bug-free (auto-creating 'Device Support' folder).
PwnageTool 2.0.1 should also support auto-update support for future versions.
No worries though, if you've already downloaded and 'pwned' your iPhone successfully with 2.0, updating right now is not necessary.
You can get PwnageTool 2.0.1 from the BigBoss Repository or Hackint0sh.

PwnageTool 2.0.1 Well, the response was overwhelming. :) The downloads brought down several of our servers, and some of them have yet to recover! It seems that some people have been having problems with our initial release, so we have PwnageTool 2.0.1 for you. It 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. Because of the AppCast URL fix, we recommend that everyone who downloaded PwnageTool 2.0 get this version, if they want to stay up to date automatically. N.B: if PwnageTool 2.0 pwned your phone correctly the first time, you do not need to pwn again with 2.0.1. The file can be found on _BigBoss_’s repository, or at our friends at Hackint0sh. If you choose to download it from other mirrors, you may want to verify that the SHA1 of the file is 10b6c7dc22286e7b70c3d5a92cda7d117426fda9.
