less dropped calls, faster dl/up load speeds, better reception, etc...

So YES upgrading the baseband does affect the update cause when updated -Google Maps performs better because its downloading the maps faster.
The Podcasts download/Stream faster
Safari downloads webpages faster

and so on and so on...

So Im kinda confused on how you can say upgrading the baseband has no effect on the new features or any of the features for that matter??

This would be true....execept...

I havent really seen better reception through calls/data on the past few baseband updates....have you?

Granted im in the middle of putting my 3g back together since the update with all my theme stuff, etc....and havent tried anything out yet.

Sounds good but just in case I'm waiting for poetic_folly to post the guide for 2G 2.2 update, it's supposedly imminent

Good luck; this worked like a charm. Whoever said the rejb was quick, wow, yes it is!!

Edit: Almost everything worked perfect. After restoring from iTunes I tried to restore Apt Back Up but it could not find my back up. No big deal but a little disappointing to have to remember all my Cydia installed apps instead of having them list out for me. But, all in all, happy camper here!

I'm glad to see 2.2 was out so quickly. Thanks Dev Team! My phone is currently jailbroke to 2.1. I have not update to 2.2 yet through Itunes. I downloaded everything per the instructions on this site. After I select the 2.2 5G77 restore.ipsw and enter my OS X password to build the restore file, i get a response that it has failed. Am i missing a step or building the wrong file. Don't understand why its not working for me. Do you have to update normally through itunes first and then jailbrake?

Any help will be much appreciated.

[mdinh26]

can someone please made a custom firmware for us Windows users?
to unlock and jailbreak please

[estevo42]

I never could get the 2.1 firmware upgrade to work on my 1st gen iphone (through Pwnage). I didn't dare use quickpwn since if that didn't work I'd basically have a paperweight. So can I upgrade to 2.2 from wherever I am now (2.0) I assume? BTW, I'm still on a 1st gen phone. Please help.

After several unsuccessful tries to jailbreak my iphone 3g by using the standard Pwnage Tool, I was able to successfuly jailbreak my iphone 3g using QuickPwn. However, After reading some of what's been said on this thread, I still don't really understand the difference between the two.

Could someone give me a simplistic answer as to the difference between the standard Pwnage and the QuickPwn methods of jailbreaking an iPhone 3g?
Thanks.

All to no avail. All I get is "sry, I haz fail!"
What gives? Am I missing something?

I just figured it out. I finally got passed the building IPSW with out "fail".

I found this on the Dev site:

"NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool for iPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the ‘General’ window and change two things: Deselect ‘activate’ ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider)."

Worked like a charm.

I must say its a simple process and definatly worth doin for me the street views is off the hook and the overall responsiveness of the phone is faster.

For those with t-mobile and 2nd Gen iphone with a mac or Hackintosh using leopard 10.5.3 this may help you.

What's Needed:
First be sure you have quickpwn 2.2 for MAC
Second make sure you have f/w 2.2 I used this one
LINK

What to do:
I used iTunes 8 ran the shift/restore method and chose the firmware.
when it finished I opened QuickPwn ran that and Done!

Very simple process.

My iPhone:
Unlocked --> T-Mobile, Jailbroke with 2.2 firmware - running great
