Have you not been reading the threads and comments? If your iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked using TurboSIM's everyone has been saying NOT to upgrade. You can only upgrade if you are using one of the Apple Unlocked iPhones or you are using your NON-JAILBROKEN iPhone with one of the sanctioned providers (ATT, Vodafone, etc.).

You keep saying that you are in Lebanon so as a result you aren't up to date with all the iPhone ins and outs. Well what is this forum here for then? When I was hacking my First Gen iPhone a year ago, I did not take any steps without first consulting this site amongst others. The very fact that you are using a hacked iPhone should be enough to make you wait to see what happens with any new FW updates. Even with my Factory (Apple) Unlocked 3G iPhone I was hesitant to apply the upgrade. Caution is the way to proceed with this cat and mouse game of jailbraking and unlocking.

I know it sucks now that your iPhone is not functioning anymore and I'm not trying to give you a hard time but I guess this will be a lesson that you won't forget. Anyways, enough of my diatribe. I'm sure the Dev Team will be coming out with a Pwnage 2.2 so you'll have to patient and as you say, back to your Nokia for now. Keep the faith though, a solution will emerge eventually (don't be using that hammer on your iPhone).

best,
e

2 things I thought I'd mention. First off and foremost, google was updated today with the voice commands. Haven't used it yet, but it goes into my second thing with firmware 2.2. Not sure if this was addressed already or done in 2.1, but now when you hit update in the appstote, it no longer creates a temporary icon while updating and installing. It just does the update on the original icon. I may have just not noticed last firmware, but it's news to me! And I am glad that the autocorrect is toggle-able! Everytime I type news, it would become Jews. So yay for no more duck, shot, and Jews!

i hope this fixes the constant safari quitting.

on 1.1.4 I could listen to music and surf.

If you do the standard upgrade to 2.2 it will be like restoring your iPhone to the original non-jailbroken state. You will NOT brick your phone.

I just want to be sure. I am ready to pull the trigger. Just JB and not unlocked I'll be good to go? I've seen conflicting stories all over the net. 99.9% of the time the info on this site is solid, just want to cover my rear!

Thanks!

While I'm happy for the improvements made to Google Maps I'm not overly impressed with this update from Apple due to it yet again lacks features found in other smartphones. Such as the ability to edit documents, record video, digital zoom with timer for the camera, tethering, MMS, AD2P and copy/paste. Most of these features are available to only jailbroken iPhones and is reason why I'll continue to jailbreak unless Apple starts taking the smartphone market more serious by offering useful updates.

You will lose all your Jailbroken apps and your iPhone will be reverted to the factory original state (locked to a particualr provider unless you bought a factory (Apple) unlocked iPhone).

So if you are going to try to unlock at some point DO NOT upgrade. If you want to keep your jailbroken apps DO NOT upgrade. If you don't mind using your iPhone on its sanctioned cell provider (AT&T, Vodafone, etc.) and do not intend to unlock your 3G iPhone then you can proceed with the upgrade (it upgrades your baseband). I upgraded my Apple Unlocked 3G iPhone and its fully functional.


best of luck,
e

I don't know if anyone has actually updated a unlocked 1st gen iphone. I have and the phone does remain unlocked but ITunes does not recognize your Tmobile SIM. If you have done this, just downgrade to 2.1 and jailbreak it again. I think I will wait for the new unlock.

I love the new update, AppStore super great now , podcast , press home fist page great and the new map feature are excellent. All we need now its landscape text and email.

its the app store not the fw.
Ive been having the same problems since last night.
I was on 2.2 now Im on 2.1 on a New Phone.
So I know its not the FW.

Try reboot ur phone it will probably work.. or just wait.
