Warning: Do Not Update to 2.2 Firmware

This is a reminder that those interested in a software unlock should not update to the 2.2 firmware until instructions are made available.

The iPhone Dev-Team has repeated stated that updating to 2.2 may prevent you from unlocking your 3G iPhone once a software unlock becomes available.

This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s upcoming 2.2 release. Installing ‘2.2’ on the iPhone 3G could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!

Considering that the iPhone Dev-Team is one step closer to finishing the unlock, I would strongly recommend you wait until we post the proper upgrade tutorial on iClarified.
