Iv'e got a question thats I don't think has been asked....

I have a 2G, 2.1 on AT&T, I don't need the "unlock" part of the custom firmware but, I did download the FW from the first post that contains it....I also DL another from the other sticky "all 2.1 questions here", or something like that....it had a server with all sorts of CFW and I picked the one that I needed (no "activation") BUT, Vista like XP puts the .zip at the end of the file, however unlike XP, Vista doesn't have a "delete" button to just change the file name and make it an .ipsw.....so my question is...

is there a CFW that DOESN'T have the unlock available for straight download that has the right file attachment (.ipsw) so I don't have to set up the phone like it's another "new" phone?.....

or, whats the real story with having a legal (contracted AT&T) phone, unlocked and set up as new one in itunes?....can I always restore to the old/original profile if need be for whatever reason?....the sim/phone service is the same even if the phones FW is unlocked?...

thanks!....

this CFW is customize to unlock and jailbreak ur iphone. If you want to jailbreak only because ur in AT&T better to create ur own firmware using quickpwn. just untick the option of unlock...I dont think anyone here or in other site will create a firmware w/out unlocking and post the link, coz everybody here need an unlocking software, mostly. So i suggest learn to use quickpwn( both for win and mac are available) and u can find it on other thread with great tutorial ;-) ok dude?

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I have used quickpwn (without success) and winpwn with success to upgrade to a jailbroken 2.0.2 before I had to ugrade (stuck, buggy phone) anyway to 2.1......

what I was wondering was there a CFW like the linked one in the first post that already has the .ipsw extension on it WITHOUT the unlock I can dowload?....I'd like to do the easy shift, restore jailbreak instead of quickpwn.....

I ask because of the server load of CFW's in the link on the other thread, they have what I'm looking for, its just that when you DL in Vista (in it's brilliance) adds the .zip that can't be removed......

thanks.

Restore a Official 2.1 fw and re do the step by step with Quickpwn you should be ok.

Dude,
All the cfw posted are .ipsw it is vista that is causing it to be downloaded as a zip file just rename the CFW by removing the .zip on the end and leave it at .ipsw

Thanks, but you can't just remove the .zip at the end like you can in XP, XP has a delete key thats not available on Vista....in Vista you have to go about changing all the files like that, bla, bla bla......its not a quick, easy, "just rename it" step.....thats why I was looking for FW that didn't have the unLock, that already had the .ipsw file name at the end and that wouldn't be converted into a "false" .zip like the FW thats in the first post of this thread......I DL the "phantomFW" (in the first post with the unlock) and no .zip, I DL a CFW from the server in the "All questions about 2.1 thread" and got the "false .zip.....

I was looking for the EASY way to do this, so I could also do the "shift-restore" jailbreak instead of the other methods...thats all....

[nitram]

I did this method the other night and it worked flawlessly. My only regret is that i lost all of my cydia apps and such. which was okay for the most part cuz I had a lot of crap I never used anyway. but things like lock box i wish woul just get reloaded..
You should be able to set a Custom Firmware up that doesn't wipe out the apps folder...
Thanks again.....

dude,

you are better off updating thru iTunes directly to fw 2.1 so you dnt have to worry bout renaming the fw and use Quickpwn to jailbreak with out "unlocking" just do not select the "Activate" option on quickpwn.

Thank you so much theone77 and Aws3ya! I have ben looking for a easy way to upgrade to 2.1 and you guys have provided me with that. Thank you sooo very much. I can't believe how easy it was. I seriously didn't know anything about updating an i[hne before this. You guys rock! Seriously!

1. DOWNLOAD a customize 2.1 Firmware for iphone classic here MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

iPhone1_1_2.1_5F136_Custom_Restore.ipsw -- FileFactory.com - free file hosting --

+ Will Activate / Jailbreak / and Unlock your iPhone
"Note:
If WinterBoard and MIM didn't show up after the restore just reinstall WinterBoard and it will come out with the pre loaded themes and MIM too. Cfw comes with Openssh,openssl,Cydia sources Talking Alerts, five icon docks as well." - Aws3ya


2. USE ITUNES 8 and let your iphone be detected (even it is 1.1.2 or 1.1.1)

3.SHIFT + RESTORE then choose the customize FIRMWARE 2.1 you downloaded.

VIOLA & Dance (optional) ;-)

note: NO NEED to be on DFU mode or else there will be an error. I never had an error for the 4 iphone i upgraded using this process.

Now if there will be an error use winpwn and follow the instruction, let winpwn make ur iphone to be on DFU mode then if it is now ready for restoring (with the logo of winpwn restore mode) instead of using the FW made by winpwn use the firmware 2.1 that i mentioned above (step1) thru itunes 8

yes simple as that, just do a shift+restore(win) or option+restore(mac) and you are good to go. you can leave the sim in. i'll pm you for more details.

as for the links i posted the cfw on two sites so people can have a choise which downloads faster for them, you can try either one they are the same files.

here's what you need to do:

-Update itunes to latest version (8.X.X.X)
_ Download cfw 2.1, saved on a Folder that is easy to find.
_ Connect iPhone (Turned on)
_Assuming you are using win hold Shift(keyboard) and press restore (iTunes) and option+restore if using mac.
-Itunes will look for the cfw that you downloaded and save earlier, navigate to that and click open.
- Sit back and let iTunes do everything for you, do not interrupt the process.

Should take around 15-20 mins, after iPhone reboots for one last time you'll have a activated-jailbroken-unlocked 2.1 fw

I sent you a pm btw

[Insane Devil]

Thanks a lot - theone77, and all those behind this custom rom!

Just upgraded now from 1.1.4 to 2.1 in the method prescribed here and it worked like a charm!

THANKS !

[sebgonz]

I've done a restore of the actual 2.1 firmware, and I've been waiting for it to restart for about half an hour now. Is something wrong or should I let it sit longer?
