SiMpLe Way To UPGRADE to Firmware 2.1 UnLOCKED/JAILBROKEN (windows)

[madrich]

There is no unlock for 3G yet..........

[Aws3ya]

Hai to Theone77,
Do you mean by inserting your Custom Firmware, the 3G Iphone can be UNLOCKED?
(i.e. without the needs of other additional card such as TurboSim, Anysim, etc.)
If it does, you are superb. Further, will I get the 3G function as well (Besides the WiFi)?
Well, I have the 3G Iphone with me, but it will be used in Indonesia Operator.
Thx and waiting your reply.

the CFW for 3G that i posted here does allow you to use other carriers but you need to have a Sim Solution prior to jailbreaking the 3G iphone, please read back the thread for more info.

i have an iPhone jailbroken and unlocked with 2.1 firmware,. its just that there are lot of unused and unwanted application that's why i chose "Erase all contents and settings" but after an hour of process, my iPhone is Freezeing on its apple logo when starting up and takes a very long time, i even woke up at the middle of the night and saw nothing but an apple logo...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I am leary of using quickpwn because when it comes to MAC and the iPhone I am a caveman. I really need to figure this out, I have to lug around my charging cable everywhere I go that has power, lol. Everyone in class is staring at me, haha. Plus I also need to figure out how to change the itunes account on my phone because I changed the username "email" to my new updated email and on the phone, it wont let me upgrade or buy anything because of it, bummer....

ok do u have a windows or mac? quickpwn is really easy to use.. the CFW is even easier but if u have windows u might have to do a restore and use quickpwn..

Hi guys, before i do the full restore (Can not use the UPGRADE button right?) is there anything i can use to backup all my cydia installed apps? its a pain in the ***** to manually install each of the application again. Also, to get some HIGHSCORES back up in some games.
Your help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Shaq

There is an app in Cydia called aptbackup you can use that, read the More info of the app to get a better idea on how it works. good luck

************************************************** ***********************************************

Firmware 2.2 release is imminent" please do not upgrade your Jailbroken 2G and 3G iphones just yet we do not know what it will do with the jailbreaks or if you can still jailbreak after the restore.

Bro,

I dnt know your platform but if your are on mac osx you can use pwnage to create your own cfw and skip the Activation part. Btw i posted the 3G cfw a few threads back for official legit unts minus the activation.

[fonz06]

i tried both links from the first post but i keep getting unknow error code 1604

i let itunes detect the iphone as stated in previous posts.

Sorry..i actually just realised there r two app backup programs..APPBACKUP (for application store applications) and APTBACKUP (as you correctly pointed out its for cydia applications)..THANKS..Sorry for bothering you.

[Aws3ya]

it's here guys: CFW 2.2 for Classic iphones only please note that if Cydia crashes after the restore to cfw you need to run quickpwn to fix it, dnt worry you wll still be in cfw 2.2 after quikcpwning, you need to have the pfw 2.2 and bl 3.9 and 4.6 to do the quickpwning.

To upgrade to cfw 2.2 just do a shift+restore (win) or Option+restore (mac)

heres the link for the cfw 2.2 for classic iPhones

- philgilder


Podcast streaming
Tapping a Podcast's episode's name will result in the podcast being played via streaming (instead of a straight download).
- chrisgeleven

If streaming a Podcast through the iTunes Store, pressing the home button will cause it to continue in the background. This does not apply to video podcasts, which close as normal.
- jmccullough108


App Store modifications
An icon of a application representing it's corresponding category is now visible next to the text. Prior to 2.2, the category only displayed text. You can now also view applications by "Top Paid" (most popular paid applications), "Top Free" (most popular free applications) and "Release Date" (applications are listed from their release date, with the most recent application appearing at the top of the list).



Application deletion and rating
In an effort to improve participation in the App Store, when deleting an application, you are asked to rate it using the usual 5 star system.
- iBeast


App Store links
App Store links have now been fixed. Prior to 2.2, clicking a link to an application in the App Store would display "Invalid URL". The App Store now opens as expected.
- mcdj

Updating applications
Applications now stay in their original position while being updates. Before, the application which was in the process of being updated would move to the next available space and download, and then move back to it's original position.
- nickspohn

Application screenshot viewer and individual buttons
When viewing an application in the App Store, you can now view multiple screenshots. Prior to 2.2, the first screenshot in the strip would be displayed.

The option to update all of your applications within the App Store has returned.
- ratattak

Updating applications purchased by another user
When updating an application on an iPhone or iPod touch, if the application was purchased by another user, it shows a dialog to change the user and input the password. Prior to 2.2, the App Store didn't even show the update of a application if the account configured on the iPhone or iPod touch was different.

- Zincous


Safari tabs
Tabbed web pages are now truly limited to eight. Previously, you could have more than eight individual web pages open, because you could open more from webclips on your Home Screen, and the number of tubs would not be be displayed whenever there were more than eight active tabs. After update 2.2, when eight tabs are open, attempting to open a ninth from a webclip will result in the first (leftmost) tab being removed. Trying another will result in the second tab, and so on.
- sfditty

Podcasts in the iPod application
The ordering of podcasts in the iPod application has changed when viewing mutliple episodes of the same podcast. The oldest are now displayed at the top, with the most recent at the bottom. Now they'll play through in order, rather than in reverse order like they did in previous firmware versions.
- tyr2

On-the-go playlists
The design of the on-the-go playlist screen has been changed; the 'Edit' button has been moved beneath the 'Playlists' instead of being directly opposite it (the 'Now Playing' button has also been finally added). The ability to 'Clear' the playlist has also been given it's own dedicated button rather than appearing solely after 'Edit' has been selected.
- Ivan P


Stocks language
In the Stocks application, when adding a foreign stock to the list, it displays the stock in its native language instead of English. Prior to 2.2, foreign stocks would display in English always.
- AkuKnives

Screenshots

thanks for the post.

iphone classic? just to be clear, does this mean iphone 2G (and NOT 3G)

or Iphone (and NOT ipod touch).(hopefully its not a dumb question!)

I'm wanting to find :
2.2 CFW with cydia/installer ,
not bothered about boot logos,
to use on an O2 network uk
iphone 3g

I want to preserve the baseband for the future but will continue to use O2 network for the next 12 months.

This CFW 2.2 is for Classic iphones or 2G i will create a 3G cfw in a coupe of days and will post it here.

[cadguycad]

thanks for clearing that up.

Will the 3g file you are going to create be suitable for me, as per my post above?

[sergo0329]

hi, i did upgrade 2.2 firmware and at first i thought everything works perfect, but later i realized that every single app which i install its just opens for a sec and then crashes, please help to fix that, thank you

[Aws3ya]

what apps are this? Appstore apps or default apps, please be more specific. You can try Reset all Settings or Install Bossprefs form Cydia and fixDirpermission

Here you go cfw 2.2 for Legit 3G units meaning your unit is locked to a Mobile Provider like AT&T, Tmobile etc.3G CFW can be used by legit users which means this isn't hactivated and you still need to activate your Legit 3g units through itunes.



Note: CFW works. Problem is since we need to rerun quickpwn to fix the cydia crashing problem, manage apps won't list the preinstalled goodies since the plist of the one from quickpwn won't know this. But all preinstalled apps are all working, even sbsettings! Currently thinking of a remedy for this.
