Iphone Firmware 2.1 - Grab it While It's Hot

By far the best update.. They shouldve released this with the original 3G launch.. All we need is some SMS and we are good. 1 year and still waiting....

Ok I have the iPhone 3G and today when I updated to 2.1 FW from a 2.0.2 JB FW, when the iPhone 3G booted up it showed the unlock screen saying iPhone Activated....Ummm why did it say that? I never saw that before with previous FW upgrades? Im not gonna get charged for the crap again am I?

Hello,

How do I activate my iPhone 2.1? I mistakenly Restored it,and it is unlocked, (i Pwned with winPwn).

Any help appreciated !

Take Care,

you need to go back to 2.0.2

Well, I upgraded alright. Now my phone is stuck in an infinite reboot / vibrate mode. It has rebooted 9 times now and just sits here vibrating in pulses over and over and over and over. The loading icon pops up on the apple screen but freezes, then it reboots, then it does it all again.

restore again to 2.1 and set your phone up as new

As far as an update from a JB 2.0.1 3G device, straight to 2.1 upgrade from itunes 8, with back up works 100% it took about 45 min to completely back up my device but after that it took about 5-10 min to install 2.1 and everything is running 100% (not JBed)

Download the 2.0.2 firmware for your phone (there are seperate firmwares for 2g & 3g) from the downloads sections @ the top of this site.

Go into iTunes and sync your iphone, hold down the shift button and click Restore. It will allow you to browse your computer for the firmware instead of automatically downloading the latest.

Hit the thanks button buddy

you would just follow the same steps you did when you pwnd your iphone is the first place. You said you used winpwn, follow the same steps then update to 2.1.

im getting anxious here too, any news from the dev team?

[Muggz5]

Confirmed as well, No issue in losing Activation and Unlock. Phone is running infinitely better than before, and the battery life truly is improved greatly. This is on another phone from a friend, not mine. (cant live without a JB)

[popmanbx]

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.

word, now everyone with an iphone will be a bigger target. And I think AT&T will let you activate a wiped iphone. So its better to steal one and put the wrong password in it. LOL What a joke.

[salgonza711]

[cheesecakezz]

i got the same errors whats your carrier? im on t-mo and thought that was probably my problem.

[Raven2k]

Yeah, the correct access code to Field Test is *3001#12345#*
Your signal strength will replace your carrier info. on the top status bar.
