i posted this info... i'm new at this and i already UNLOCKED, JailBroke, and Activated three iPhones. by the way, once you have the "custom" firware you only need to run the iTunes restore part to do other phones (don't do the Pwnage part for other phones).
Oh, Yeah!!! it is very helpful:
1. to go to your iTunes and on the right side where you phone is listed hold down the Ctrl (or Option) key and click on it, choose BACK UP (so you can have a FULL back up)
2. Create another USER ACCOUNT in your computer to do all the Pwnage Tool 2.0.1 and the iTunes Restore
3. Make sure that after you restore firmware you UNCHECK the "automatically sync" option so that it doesn't sync (on my next step) automatically and you can loose all you INFO.
4. go back to your normal USER ACCOUNT
5. plug in iPhone, open iTunes (it won't open automatically because you to it NOT to auto sync in my previous step), HOLD down the Ctrl (or Option) key and choose RESTORE FROM BACKUP and you're READY!!!
sorry, i'm at work and have a PC here so i can't remember if it's the Ctrl key or Option Key (but it's the one the gives you options as if you were on a PC and you were using "Right-Click" on a mouse).
GOOD LUCK!!! i'm telling you, i'm a newbie and it worked.
