5 August 2008 @ 8:32iPhone 2.0.1 firmware breaks jailbroken apps

As expected, the iPhone firmware v2.0.1 makes any jailbroken apps inaccessible, but also the latest firmware release includes a baseband update that will render iPhones useless with any carrier other than the original carrier.

PwnageTool 2.0.1 does not currently work with the iPhone v2.0.1 firmware, so beware. It is not yet known when a new PwnageTool will be released.

A quote from the iPhone dev blog:

Remember, from a jailbreaking point of view the update process is always reversible, but this isn’t the case for the 3G baseband, so your intended long term future use for the phone should help you decide what you do. If you always going to use the 3G phone with the original carrier then baseband updates are fine, if you are not then hold off. (#)
