any idea when the Dev team is releasing for windows? I am dying to upgrade to 2.1

[swiftbmx]

Anyone having the following problem: All my Apps are in the Applications folder, the one with 6 digits at the end but the springboard will only show some of the Apps icon's. All the apps I got from Cydia were working with icons showing and then I restored from backup and now only a select few showup while none of the AppStore icons are showing at all.

Any clue how to fix this? I've spent all Sunday on this.

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

WillyDavidK,

This happened to me last night. I had updated and everything was running great. I was cruising around installer and my phone crashed. after about five minutes of black screen (little spinning icon thing), i thought i would have to restore completely. For fun, i plugged it into itunes and got a similar screen to what you provided in your screen shot. I power cycled the device and re-synced and the phone returned to what was expected. It hasnt happened since, so i kind of wrote it off as a freak occurrence.

After the restore process, Its not activated but its unlocked, I can see my carrier's name on top.

Please guys help me out, I've posted this a couple of times and everyone seems to ignore it

The firmware file that iTunes uses in in your user library/iTunes/iPhone updates

Hm, I suppose you were lucky. Mine was persistent, and I tried to fix it, but ended up making it worse, so I just restored fresh again and quickpwn'd. I'm about back to my previous state now, but have yet to put the music back

VBP2004EP3: those boot logos are no good

Why are they no good, they are on my phone now... I used winpwn 2.5

did you have categories installed previousy installed, i had the same proble. Just reinstalled categories and was able to add them in there and delete them again, that made them show up in the springboard again.

[WillyDavidK]

VBP2004EP3: prolly a winpwn thing, but pwnage rejects both images. You can just use default boot logos for now until winpwn comes out if you want.

cmurderr: I've never used mivtones, I would direct your question to the developers of the program itself. They will probably update it soon for compatibility with 2.1. Have you reinstalled it?

[flounder21]

restoring this time had a few more bugs.....bootloader issues with pwnage being in the applications folder, itunes error and then the spinning pineapple wheel when Iwent to restore....somewhat finally got it workin....3 hrs of fun!
Thanks for the 29 page help guide here!!!

Just D/L one of the the Custom ispw files that were posted already, I just finished my 2G upgrade and it works perfect (2G used on Tmobile). Thanks for the help people.

THANKS! Exactly what the problem was. All you have to do is install categories, make a default folder, select all the icons not showing up, then delete all the icons from said folder and they will be back on the springboard.
