Ok so i have a iphone 3g. I succesfully made a ipsw with winpwn. I checked cydia and installer, aswell as the youtube option. I unchecked the the activation option aswell. After installing 2.0.1 I have no AT&T service. i have done everything that has been suggested. How can i get service back?

Oh and before you say you should have only checked cydia and installer NOt the youtube option...winpwn will always faill building a ipsw that way.

THanks (HELP!!)

Of course this has been posted several times however I wanted to add it here again, just in case there are still a few with previous pwned 2.0 phones out there. I just did 2 phones in a matter of 15 minutes.

I put the phones in normal restore mode not DFU (power off, hold Home + Plug in, until custom logo pops up or the "plug into itunes" logo) Open itunes, shift + restore to custom firmware I downloaded from Here

Watch the magic. Dont unplug or mess with the phone until it goes to "Edit Home Screen" Leave your sim cards in, its just fine... The Auto Settings will show up, let it do its thing. Enjoy!
Its quick and painless and didnt even download the new winpwn.
Thanks alot Devteam and everyone else involved.

I restored from backup - all email passwords were transferred.General consensus is that you are not supposed to do that, but I have 2 1st gens to play with so I tried it for a goof and it worked. It took about an hour to restore from backup.

After 6 or 7 complete restores I am ready to pull my hair out. It goes perfectly every time......until I restore the backup of my phone. It freezes after reboot and will not come out of it. Only way out so far is a complete restore again! I keep trying cuz I want my saved texts back and some stuff I have in notes. I have read everything everywhere and although others have had backup problems I have not seen this one and solution for it. Any ideas???

Were you pwned before?

Not before today. Was running 1.1.4 and did the whole 2.0.4 winpwn thing without a hitch. I'm fooling around with the last restore now and everything works fine but if I hook up to itunes and try and restore a backup I'll end up with a frozen screen and the thingy that goes round and round lol. I've done that about 5 times now with different custom ipsw's and have the same result everytime.

It's kinda quiet in here. Is there any reason to pwnage to 2.01 firmware? My iPhone is running flawlessly on 2.0.

Actually there are a few bug fixes for 2.0 and So far this seems to be running even better. Check out installer its a nice interface. It has a few bugs in it but Cydia is great anyway. I just posted a few minutes ago, I went through how to do the new pwn easily without using winpwn.... Its worth it to me.

Hence the TMobile account I posted. That custom .ipsw is for jailbreaking and unlocking. Did you previously have a pwned 2.0 ?

I also stated that I had a 1st gen.
Considering you have a valid AT&T account you only need to jailbreak. Did you download the correct 3G firmware from that site? Have you pwned your current itunes before? Again whas your phone previously pwned to 2.0? Or did you restore it to a factory .ipsw before attempting?

Ok but did you update itunes after pwning ever? and was your phone still in that custom or have you restored to a factory first?

[n00bie d00bie]

Yes my itunes has been updated prior. and the phone was custom. it was not restored to factory.

EDIT: Well i guess you can now say it is restored to factory 2.0.1 lol
