I think you'd lock it up. Back up your current stuff and try it. You can always restore.

you will lose your jailbreak, but if you saved your "Blobs" you will be able to restore back to 4.0. google "how to restore to previous firmware with SSH blobs saved"

The update fixes the security hole that allows jailbreakme.com to run unsigned code.

If you update to 4.0.2 and go to jailbreakme.com you just get a message that says you are running an older (incompatible) firmware.

Story says "nothing else was done".

This is to fix Jailbreaks. Remove it. Undo it. Block it.

If you update, your jailbreak *WILL* be gone.

If you are hell bent on upgrading, make sure your SHSH is backed up on Cydia. If you don't know what that is, Google it.

But really... there is *NO* reason to update your phone. Don't update it now. Don't update it to 4.1 until a new Jailbreak is released. If you update too soon you *WILL LOSE YOUR JAILBREAK*.

Fear'd of this hack being used for evil? Don't JB. Otherwise... learn how to change your root password and don't be an idiot.

Don't update if you've Jailbroken. Wait for a response from the Dev Team.
