As the 3.0 fw is leaked on the internet ...

i have just a theoretical simple question

i´ve a 2g and it should stay unlocked afer a update, baseband shouldn´t also make any changes ... downgrade seems to be possible

how do you guys handle the activation process?

do we have to wait until a new version of pwnage-tool?? or are there already some tricks

your phone identifier needs to be registered as a development device.

Actually, i thought that was the case too until i tried ArB's method:

Basically, u downgrade to 2.0.2 factory image, quickpwn it, then update (yes, make sure to select the update button not the restore button) to 3.0 beta. At the end of the process, iPhone should remain activated and it does not appear to require your iphone's UDID be registered.

i think that device will be out with the next beta seed.
and remember once 3.0 there is no downgrading.

Not true, today i did go back from 3.0 to 2.0.2 and to 2.2.1.
Just put the iphone in DFU and you are fine.
It even works in the latest itunes version.

yeh, but the baseband is not revertable.

The topic is about a 2g model not a 3g model. And the baseband of a 2g hasn't changed after firmware 2.0

Why downgrade when you can go straight to whatever 2.x firmware you have to 3.0? It will stay activated (and unlocked) no matter what.

I had to downgrade from a failed 3.0 installation.

If anyone's interested, I have free spots on my developer account, going for $10. Instant activation in iTunes. Send PM if you're interested.
