Boot Chain

VROM->LLB->iBoot->Kernel->System Software

One of the iPhoneLinux goals are to replace that Boot Chain after iBoot :
VROM->OpeniBoot->Linux Kernel->X Server->Window Manager

Upgrade Process

Restore mode

The common upgrade process chain is VROM->DFU->WTF->iBoot->Kernel->Ramdisk->Restore, also called restore mode.

DFU mode

To flash an older / modified version you have to let your phone reside in DFU mode (VROM->DFU). In iTunes you have to press the Alt-Key (Mac) or the shift-key (Windows) when pressing 'Restore' to be able to manually chose an update file (ipsw file). iTunes also must be pwned to accept the firmware file.
