Step 3.

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 iTunes launches (it should). You will then 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 2.




You will see various status bars, while the restoring process continues. If you chose a custom boot logo, you will see it display on the iPhone at this point.




When the restore process has completed, BootNeuter 2.0 will launch automatically. In my case, since I was already unlocked, there was nothing for it to do but reboot the iPhone.

If you were not already unlocked, you will see these screens right after the iPhone reboots. iTunes will prompt you to set up your iPhone at this point. DO NOT TOUCH ITUNES WHILE BOOT NEUTER IS RUNNING! These are the status screens you will see:

Step 4.

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 2.0.2 firmware.




Here's the first screen you'll see. Note: Cycorder and WinterBoard are installed already.




Cydia and Installer are on the next screen. You can double check your firmware version here.
