Step 4.

Launch iTunes. You should get a pop up message about 2.0.1 firmware being available. Click Cancel.

Put the iPhone into DFU mode by doing the following: with the iPhone on, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds.




The screen will appear black. Let go of the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the Home button until you see this pop up message from iTunes.




You should be at this screen.





Press Option and click the Restore button. In the pop up window that opens, navigate to the custom .ipsw file that was saved to your dekstop by PwnageTool at the end of Step 3.




You will see various status bars, while the restoring process continues.






The iPhone will reboot at this point. iTunes should prompt you to set up the iPhone.




Then this screen will appear, confirming you are on 2.0.1 firmware.




Here's the first screen you'll see. There's the App Store, Cydia, and Installer. You can check your firmware and baseband versions here. Note: The baseband was not updated.
