Hi,

I've read a lot of posts on people having problems in upgrading their 2G phone to 2.0 and then pawning it. I was no exception and experienced 2 days of constant Error (6) and few Error (1604) etc. I tried upgraded my jailbroken 1.1.4 to 2.0, when that failed, tried 1.1.2, then 1.1.3, then 1.1.4 again. All either failed completed or failed to restore the subsequent custom very after using pwnage. In the end here's the steps i took and it worked first time.

1) Enter the phone in DFU mode and do a restore and upgrade to version 2.0 using itunes as normal.
2) When that's finished use the firmware downloaded by itunes and pwn that (I found out after trial and error that most of the ones I downloaded manually from the net just did not work)
3) follow the onscreen prompts with pwnage and keep your fingers crossed.

I now have 2.0 on my 2G and no problems. So if you're having any errors try this out.

Cheers
B.
