can someone post the easiest way to upgrade using windows. I've read all 29 pages and I'm getting a whole bunch of stuff.

Is quickpwns way the best way? Or can you upgrade to a customs fw through iTunes?

Do you lose your apps? I've seen that winterboard doesn't work.

Or is it better to just wait for the windows quickpwn? Thanks

I upgraded through windows using a custom fw for the 3g iphone and it worked great with no problems. U don't have to put the phone in no type of mode just keep it on the homescreen, just plug the phone to itunes and press restore. I put the custom firmware where itunes downloads the firmware because I didnt have the options to press shift and restore. It didn't do anything. but I'm running well on 2.1 jailbroken and cracked ipa work fine too.

Phew
I was having the same problem of being frozen and vibrating after backup. Followed your advice and it worked...Thanks!!!

tellytel: Just update to iTunes 8, update your iPhone to the new 2.1 software (not JB), grab the custom FW from me or some of the others that have posted CFW and do the routine shift+restore in iTunes (don't worry about DFU or restore if you're already JB, it's not necessary). If all goes well you will have yourself a working JB with 2.1. If all doesn't go well, you may end up with Error 6, error 1600, or a few of the other things I'm sure you've already read about. If that is the case you just restore to factory settings and wait a few days for the dev team, or you can try to go back to 2.0.x

I actually have a new problem which is a bit disconcerting. All of my music has become 'other'. In other words, instead of a big green bar in iTunes, I now have a big orange bar. Also the iPod doesn't see any of my music now (despite it all still being on the iPhone) and under Music in iTunes (under my device) there is more of the same. Anybody have an idea of whats up? It was working for a while, I'm not sure what happened exactly o_0

You can recover your apps and themes from your 'stash'. See SMEEs tutorial on page 29 (just the part about copying the files from /var/stash)

Just keep in mind for the newbies out there that you have to rename the .zip file from your site Index of /MMi to a .ipsw file for it to work. Thanks for posting the files for us windows guys.

yes as I continue to have to say again on every page, if your browser adds .zip to the end of the files (they aren't actually zip files) just remove it, do NOT attempt to unzip the files, it will just give you a headache.

If i am on 1.14 and want to upgrade to 2.02 then 2.1 how do i do that if i already downloaded the update of 2.1 but have not installed it? Windows XP. I am sure it has been covered but maybe not since most of you have already updated to 2.02 and i just did not have the time to do it yet and i want to be able to put on the applications ect. My phone is currently jailbroken using iliberty

actually it has been covered. Go ahead and update to 2.1 normally through iTunes, then use the CFW after your phone is upgraded to factory 2.1.

VBP2004EP3: those boot logos are no good

So WillyDavidK

I go to your site pick the firmware and after updateing then i do a shift and hit restore and browse for your firmware and install it. Correct? And that will take me from 1.14 jb with iliberty to 2.1 successfully?

I would update your iPhone to the 2.1 software first, then load the CFW

PS- I already answered your first post, two posts up
