Now you can jailbreak your iPhone 2.0 for free (if you own a Mac!) with iPhone Dev Team’s PwnageTool 2.0. It jailbreaks and unlock and jailbreak iPhone, jailbreak iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch if they are running the iPhone 2.0 software. Only the 2.0 software is supported by this jailbreak. THIS IS NOT AN UNLOCK SOFTWARE FOR iPHONE 3G… yet.
Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.
Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.
Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.
