Then you can update to 8.0, and Pwn with the 2.1 firmware. BUT, then, again, if you're JB'ed, you can follow the steps in the post.

To summarize - if I had to redo everything anyway - I uninstalled iTunes 8, made sure all of ANY itunes related software was uninstalled, and installed iTunes 7.7.x and then restored and then restored again with Winpwn 2.5. THEN I uninstalled AGAIN! :) and then re-installed iTunes 8.0 (no syncing in the meantime) and updated to 2.1 with 8.0. AND IMPORTANT - after you are done updating to 2.1 with 8.0 and you uninstall 8.0 to prepare for the quickpwn as Big Boss has instructed, BEFORE you install the 7.7.x iTunes delete ANY itunes*.itl file that does not have a specific date appended to it - iTunes 7.7.x will not start and 8.0 did an automatic sync (although short) without asking and even though I unchecked automatic syncing during the install of 8.0) WHEW! Any questions? Sorry but I went through a very long process and I hope I help! Big Boss's Instructions: Step 1) Download the 2.1 3g firmware or 2g firmware.

(im on Orange UK) Ive upgraded my 1st gen from WinPwned 2.0.2 to 2.1 with no problems at all. The phone does seem to run faster, especially the contacts. Time will tell im sure.. Your phone will no longer be jailbroken though, so no cydia or installer. I for one am not that bothered about cydia or installer since there are plenty of apps in the app store. Hope this helps!
