Did you upgraded to 8.0? DFU mode should not have been used for the upgrade.

Non-the-less:

Make sure you are on iTunes 7.7
Turn off your iPhone
Turn it bck on and enter DFU (blank screen)
Restore to pwned 2.0.2..

Make sure all is working and upgrade back to 2.1


Hope this helps

what a dumb *** idea...

now, if you knew when your phone was going to be stolen so you could enable the feature then great... but if you knew that why not just hide you phone better?

I AGREE 100%

wipe after 10 bad passwords is asking for some spiteful person that gets a hold of your phone to ruin your day.

Has anyone tried to upgrade to 2.1 then use Quickpwn to jailbreak??

[BDaniels08]

well i had to restore my iphone because it wouldnt load.. I have the iphone 3g and had jailbroken 2.0.2 version and i was doing update to 2.1 and then phone just sat loading and vibrate every 10 seconds.

in regards to data wipe after 10 failed password attempts...

i'm not sure why it's a stupid idea to have that on an iphone when it works the same way on a blackberry? iphone's just trying to live up to the security standards a firm would expect from a mobile phone of their choice, no?

Yea but theres a couple of problems with that, Most of the boys from my hood only read the news and once they find out that the phone becomes like new after entering in the wrong password 10 times thy're going to target anybody with one. hold on tight ladies and gents and watch your sh**. That wouldnt be something i'd want to advertise honestly.

Most thieves could care less about your information on the phone especially when they can get 200 to 600 for the phone itself.

i don't own an Blackberry, so I wouldn't know. I'd prefer if there we some sort of OTA code AT&T could send to the phone that could unlock it and allow you to reset the password.

the data wipe thing just sounds like something that can be easily abused.

but hey...if it's the industry standard, perhaps it'll be a non-issue.

[BDaniels08]

can someone help?? plz? my phone is absolete and wont even load after i tryd to update to 2.1

[jtesnani]

it's a 4 digit passcode. if you don't think you'd remember it, definitely don't use it. no one's forcing you to unless it's for work. then your it policy may require it. plus, the data wipe is actually an option and not forced on you so. you do have a choice

haha now my 3g doesn't work after 2.1
