2.0.2 update can be done directly via iTunes - Unlock still works

Prior to going to work, I tried the new firmware update.
I option-clicked the Restore button, as per the usual instructions for updating Pwn'd custom firmwares.
But everytime it finished, it shows a display on the iPhone of a USB plug indicating upwards to iTunes (ie. to be activated).
I also tried going into DFU mode ("Device Firmware Upload") to ensure that the iPhone won't load up its usual security checks on bootup, but still has the same problem.

But some users have claimed that they are using 1st Gen iPhone already unlocked, activated and jailbroken, and can just run this new firmware and it goes fine! End result: updated firmware, more stable and snappier, unlocked and activated, but not jailbroken.

So what's going on??

Turns out that the option I SHOULD have used is the UPDATE button on iTunes, instead of RESTORE. The assumption is that the new firmware will take on the existing condition of the iPhone, including it being activated and unlocked. Using Restore means that I would have fully replaced the current firmware, and thus because its not customised to be pre-activated and pre-unlocked, the iPhone would not know any better.

Can't wait to do this tonight and then report back!
Here's some juicy tidbits from a forum I use: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49742&page=3


EDIT: - IT WORKS!!!! Took a bloody long time tho.... took about 3hrs from clicking Update, through downloading the firmware and backing up the iPhone, right to the moment I can pickup the unit and start marvelling at its speed! Don't forget to leave some time for you to re-sync the music and media!
