Preliminary instructions for PwnageTool 2.0.2
Posted August 8th, 2008 by GenghisPhlip
The DevTeam announced that their PwnageTool 2.0.2 will be released at some point today. This article contains information that you really need to know about the new PwnageTool. The following is a guide to some information that you will need to read before PwnageTool 2.0.2 is released.
First of all, you should be able to follow our original guide for PwnageTool 2.0.1 for the most part with these changes:
1.) The beta of Installer 4 is now available as an option through the “expert” menu but I don’t really recommend that you install it at this time unless you just like buggy software. The full installer should be ready soon but right now there are no repositories so there are very few packages available through the new installer. To be clear: The installer 4 app is still buggy in beta and is buggy. If you do install it, do *not* install it in place of Cydia. You must still install Cydia!!!
2.) Make sure you install Cydia even if you intend to use Installer 4 so that you get a proper BSD subsystem. Also there are some important packages that will most likely remain available only in Cydia.
3.) If you have already pwned 2.0 (iPhone boots with pineapple or custom logo) then all you will need to do is create a pwnage image and just restore with it.
4.) If you are not pwned you will need to follow the original PwnageTool guide in its entirety.
As always, Thanks to BigBoss for the great information!
I really was playing with the faked screenshot. You didn’t have to ban me.
Thanks for adding the kudos to BigBoss.

@SimoneJ: You are not banned. The site’s server is just getting smoked but really now… a faked screenshot? This is not Kindergarten. Please keep that crap on other sites.
Thanks for the clarification. I thought I’d really pissed them off. I actually thought the screenshot was real. Guess I got dup’d too.
