After spending 30 minutes taking screenshots of every step of unlocking my iPhone, my brother sends me this link. A detailed step by step guide of the exact same thing by the folks at iClarified.com.

They have done a really good job of explaining the procedure with screenshots (the way we like it!). Please read the whole thing before starting the procedure. You might want to print it out.

I made two mistakes when I tried to unlock my phone-

1. I updated my 1.1.4 firmware to 2.0 before running Pwnage. Big mistake! Took me almost 45 minutes to get back to 1.1.4. To downgrade from 2.0 to 1.1.4 read this.
2. I wasted a lot of time getting my firmware 2.0 iPhone to go into the DFU mode. It is a little different from the DFU mode of previous versions. In 2.0 you don’t see the iTunes logo with the cable, instead it is a black screen. The way to enter DFU mode in 2.0 - Plug into iTunes…Power phone off… hold power + Home for EXACTLY 10 seconds… release power but continue to hold home (screen will be black)… and within 20 seconds iTunes will recognize it.

If you have any issues upgrading to 2.0 do let us know in the comments. We will try to help you out.

Cheers and enjoy firmware 2.0. It is awesome!
