Pwnage 2.0.2 is available!

I followed the tutorial here using Pwnage 2.0.2 and the 2.0.1 firmware which can be found in user/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates. Be sure you have "iPhone1,2_2.0.1_5B108_Restore.ipsw" and not the older 2.0 firmware. If you don't have 2.0.1 yet, click restore and when the download begins, unplug your phone so it cannot restore your phone. Instead, the 2.0.1 firmware will be downloaded to the folder mentioned above.
So, DO NOT download either files (Pwnage or the firmware restore file) linked on that page. They are the older versions. I followed that tutorial with my 3G iPhone using the 2.0.1 firmware found on my Mac and Pwnage 2.0.2 found in this thread, NOT on that page. After restoring to the custom firmware, I chose to backup from a previous iPhone and I can confirm EVERYTHING works perfectly. I have a perfect signal... AT&T and WiFi. Both Cydia and Installer are completely functional... my Apple apps are installed... my notes were backed up. Everything works perfectly.

Or when you plug in the phone you can just select download only.
Oh... I knew that. I just drunk for too much.
Hmmm, not good so far. Restore went fine, phone boots fine... but Cydia (which worked great under 2.0) just crashes instantly and Installer (expecting it to as its beta) crashes quite a bit too.
tried making a custom restore without the logos. NO SIGNAL! tried twice and still NO SIGNAL! I might have to do a simple install

Are you making sure to uncheck activation in the General settings?
Anyone having trouble, try the tutorial I linked above... it worked for me on my first try. I followed everything to a T (using Pwnage 2.0.2 and the 2.0.1 restore file instead, of course) and had no trouble with my iPhone 3G.
3G Baseband?
I didn't see any mention of this on the Dev Team blog, so I'll ask here:
Does anybody know if using this tool leaves the stock 3G baseband intact?
I know they'd said there would be a way to preserve the original baseband, to make unlocking easier when/if that ability is added to Pwnage Tool, but there's been no word yet on whether or not it's left along with Pwnage Tool 2.0.2.
For those who've done the jailbreak on a 3G phone, when you check your Modem Firmware (Settings>General>About), what does it say? My 3G is still stock and reads 01.45.00.

i did the jailbreak on my 3g through the simple version and my modem firmware is the same as yours, 01.45.00
For those that have experienced Cydia problems (crashing on launch) I can confirm the Zippyshare DL works. (http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/73243631/file.html)
Not sure why, but after trying several builds in Simple and Expert mode with the Rapidshare DL, Cydia wouldn't work. Just finished the process with the Zippyshare version and it works fine (this time I just went straight for simple mode).
Also, I noticed that iTunes doesn't like restore from backup for some reason, getting into a cycle of prompting for backup state, restoring, rebooting, and asking for backup state again. Choose setup new iphone and you'll get through fine.
Edit: Also, after all this my SMS's and camera roll remained as they were on previous Pwnage 2.0.

Anyone able to find 3proxy in Cydia? I am trying to enable tethering but for some reason I can not find 3proxy.
Just updated my iPhone 1st Gen. Everything works beautifully, no lag except for the bootup time.
working!
like a dream......
and it does seem to clean up some of those earlier problems on first appearances

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I'm on my 4th attempt. I've tried expert and simple and each time I launch Cydia it immediately crashes and takes me back to the home screen. Is there a way to install Cydia w/out having to go through the whole jailbreak process from beginning to end. This is my 1st jailbreak attempt so any insight would be greatly appreciated. Seems there is little point of doing this if Cydia doesn't work. *sigh*
EDIT: I found the following URL. Yes it's for 1.1.4 but...guess I can try to install it manually...(what a difficult journey). http://www.hackthatphone.com/114/iphone_cydia.html
EDIT2: The above didn't work either . I get a message "Unable to decode package more info at http://cydia.saurik.com/apptapp".
EDIT3: I have it working!!! The problem was I was using Unarchiver to unpack the .tbz file...using the command line was the trick for me.

I'll second that that particular link solved my issues. I'd tried the zippyshare links from iphwn.org and they gave me the Cydia problems. I'm thinking maybe there are multiple zippyshare links. This one definitely fixed my issues with Cydia.
Anyone tethering on 2.0.1 yet? This really was the main purpose I wanted to jailbreak since I missed Netshare on the App store. I am trying to follow the turtorial on cre.ations.net but one of key elements, a program called 3proxy, is not available to download via Cydia anymore... So if anyone has any insight please let me know.
does this work for windows? I have a JB 2.0 w/ Cydia and I'm wondering if all I need to do is the entire process again - backup again->build custom firmware->load cust firmware....not sure if this works for windows or not - thought winpwn was for windows and pwnage tool for mac
