I've got a 3g that's already jailbroken, and everything's backed up via diskaid, appbackup and aptbackup. What I'm looking for is basically an upgrade to 2.2, preferably jailbroken. I only have a Windows computer.

Upgrading to 2.2 will upgrade my baseband correct? I guess, I don't really understand what this means. Will upgrading this prevent me from unlocking my phone in the future (from my carrier, which I don't mind), or will it prevent me from even jailbreaking it in the future (which I don't want to do.)

Also I'm not even sure which CFW to download because I am through Rogers and ATT. I would greatly appreciate if someone could walk me through this cause I'm really just stumbling around here.

Thanks.
Bro,

Download the Custom firmware for 3G legit from this link:

CFW 2.2 for Legit 3G iPhone

after that do a Shift+restore and look for the CFW 2.2 (Custom Firmware) and click open and let iTunes do the rest for you. After that you will have a jailbroken 3g on cfw 2.2

Good luck...

I'm beginning to feel real dumb, any idea's? Thanks in advance, Jay

Any one of that cfw 2.2 posted should work fine for you,. 1606 error? try to use different usb port or another pc, Try to reboot your pc and do the restore again this time on DFU mode.

theres one more thing i have noticed with this 2g cfw 2.2. well maybe its just me and my iphone2g, hence why im asking here lol. i have visual voicemail without password. after installing 2g cfw 2.2, i have noticed that my vVoicemail was locked with a password. its no worry/biggie cuz you can just call your carrier and get password reset. but,

has any1 elz experienced this?

3G unlock on 2.1

Right i have to say that this thread id by far the best i have found.....

I used this to unlock and jailbreak my 2G iphone and it worked a dream....

Then i went out and got a shiny new 3G and once again used this way to Jailbreak the phone (as no unlock around) once again worked a dream with my piggy back sim...


RIGHT now for the question....
The 3G unlock comes out this week are you guys going to do a CFW with the unlock on it as you did for the 2G phone ????? and if so will it be posted on this thread ???

Keep up the good work guys

It ended up being a bad copy of QuickPwn22, I never could get any of the cfw's above to work, but a good copy of QuickPwn, and all of a sudden everything, unlocked, jailbroken, everything. Thanx for this thread, best i've found yet!

Hi guys,
This is really great.
Just to confirm.
I have a iphone-2g 1.4 fw (unlocked for the world, currently using in India).
My questions are
1) Will I work be 'UNLOCKED FOR THE WORLD' after applying this cfw?
2) Will I be able to get the free Appstore apps to work (like CalorieKing.ipa)
3) Will I be able to restore it back to a normal unlocked iphone 2.2 fw at a later point of time?

Please respond, I am relly in need of this...
Also if I just upgrade my fw to 2.2 from 1.4 (unlocked) , will it still be unlocked ??

Thanks,
toaster

You may be having another issue. Have you tried an ATT sim? Cause it shouldnt say "no sim", if anything it would say "invalid simcard".
