Firmware 2.2 JAILBROKEN

[dublgrace]

OK a bunch of people have asked about 2G iPhone with Quickpwn, let me see if I understand the process. This is not verified.

1-Sync/Backup your iPhone
2-Update iTunes to 8.02
3-Download Quickpwn and Apple firmware
3-Run Quickpwn and create a custom firmware
4-Shift-Restore to the custom firmware

Can someone verify that this would be OK? The dev-team wrote that you should update before running Quickpwn??? I may be confused.

I think you need to upgrade to iTunes 2.2 first, then rejailbreak with quickpwn. I also ran apt back up so I did all this and it's taking awhile (LOL-I should have done iTunes and un jailbroke yesterday!)
1. Back Up Phone in iTunes and with Apt Back up
2. Install iTunes 8.02
3. Restore to iTunes 2.2 (not update)
4. Re jailbreak phone
5. Go to Cydia and restore Apt Back up
6. Install Boss Prefs or SBS, Open SSH and 5 icon dock if you had it
7. Restore back up from iTunes
8. Reload any music/photos/movies etc... not part of restore, reset all Cydia themes and apps

Right?!?! Cuz if not warn me quick, I am on step 4 right now.

I'm having the same problem. I'm going to try & download the firmware from itunes itself & upgrade and then do the jailbreak. It'll take longer but hopefully it'll work. I'll post what I find out ... still waiting on the Download from iTunes.

Any updates? I'm having the same problem.

but in your step 3, arent you loading apple's 2.2 software? won't that lock your iphone up? i thought u need to put on an unlocked version.

question is there a way to jailbreak and not have to reinstall all my apps?

[TheYoungHustla]

I'm waiting a couple of days(maybe hours), because I have T-Mobile and currently has 5 bars, don't wanna take a risk, upgrade a have No bars

Another bloomin upgrade thingy

does my head in

Can someone split the forum with those who have a 2g iphone and 3g iphone


OK so i am on 2.0.2 on my 2G iPhone can someone tell me how to upgrade to 2.2 in IDIOT STEPs.

Frikin annoying with all this baseband baloney!

Just simple stuff not techie thingy

And thanks n thingy

If by "important updates" you mean locking out the 3G unlock, then yes. Otherwise - maps, podcasts, all those 2.2 updates are largely unaffected by the baseband.

I dont get how you can say that when (someone correct me if Im wrong)
Updating the baseband gives you better Service on many different levels.
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??

always mac first what the hell!!!! lol so let me get it straight, if going to 2.2 firmware, do not use quickpwn. but pwntage tool not out for windows yet right??

[blbeesley]

Any updates? I'm having the same problem.

absolutely no luck ... and VERY aggrivating. I re-downloaded the Pwnage Toolkit. I re-downloaded the iPhone 2.2 firmware. I restored my phone to factory settings, without backing it up to my old settings.
All to no avail. All I get is "sry, I haz fail!"
What gives? Am I missing something?

HELP!!!!!!

I am running 2.0.X

What steps do I have to go through to get to 2.2 on my unlocked 2G? I didn't like 2.1, to many problems and so stuck with 2.0.X

[dublgrace]

but in your step 3, arent you loading apple's 2.2 software? won't that lock your iphone up? i thought u need to put on an unlocked version.

Yes, but that's the point of step 4 and you can't do step 4 without first doing step 3. You have to be relocked/unjailbroken on iTunes 2.2 then run the dev's team new jb's for 2.2.

But, another question: I am on 2G phone and I had unlocked it with pwnage 2.1 but never ran bootneuter. I only installed Cydia with 2.2. Is it true I am still unlocked and only need to install bootneuter from Cydia if I ever want to complete the unlock or do I have to reinstall the unlock from 2.2? Please advise and thanks!

Thanks you for quick action

[TheYoungHustla]

Can anyone confirm that they have good bars on T-Mobile on 2.2?
I don't trust this baseband changing stuff

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.

[dave8125]

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

[dublgrace]

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!

[kstudd0917]

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.

[wePhone]

Anyone know of a way to keep everything I've done on my 3G intact?
