Before you update here are some important things you should read first.

1.  iPhone 3G users:  If you want to unlock your iPhone 3G, do not upgrade to firmware 2.2.1 through iTunes, you must use a custom firmware through PwnageTool (only available to MAC users).

2. Firmware 2.2.1 permanently upgrades the iPhone 3G’s baseband to 02.30.03 and yellowsn0w unlock will not work with this baseband (so you won’t have an unlock if you upgrade your baseband).  You must make a custom firmware with baseband 02.28 using PwnageTool.

3.  If you’re using MAC 105.6 you won’t be able to get into DFU Mode but here is how you can do this:

1. You will need an account with ADC (Apple Developer Connection) this is free and takes a few minutes to sign up, you should read the terms and conditions carefully and you should only sign up if you are thinking of developing applications in the future – http://developer.apple.com/mac/
2. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily Log release for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33” (yes, that is a “5” in 10.5.5 – this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).
3. Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image
4. Reboot your system!

Firmware 2.2.1 Jailbreak

NOTE: This is an unofficial release

I just jailbroke my iPod Touch 1st Generation with the firmware 2.2.1 update thanks to Vortex, a Russian hacker for creating the bundles  for the firmware 2.2.1 update.  You can jailbreak firmware 2.2.1 for your iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch 1st Generation now.   A lot of people are anxiously awaiting this jailbreak but you must realize that it’s beta and it won’t be worth it jailbreaking yet.  iPhone 3G users, do not update to firmware 2.2.1 if you want to keep your unlock because firmware 2.2.1 will update your baseband permanently.  You will need to download custom firmware with an earlier baseband in order to use jailbreak.
