@ben2ng_8478: What you want to do is, connect your iPhone to iTunes. Select your iPhone from the menu on the left, then click Update. iTunes will give you 2 options: Download Only, or Download and Install. Click Download Only. When that’s done, use the Pwnage tool to create a custom firmware, and update with that.

If you’re not on a Mac, to use the Pwnage Tool, then you might want to try digging through the torrent sites, to find an already built custom firmware. You might find one here: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1965325/23484470/

@Gary: Yeah, I remember that happened when I went from 2.1 to 2.2, but this time I had to re-pwn.

I updated my iPhone 2G from 2.1 to 3.0 directly in iTunes by clicking Update. The phone did the restore and install of 3.0. Afterwards, the phone remained activated/unlocked!

The jailbreak was gone, but I did not have to use any tools to activate/unlock it like I did in the past!
