Ok among this plethora of posts this is what i understand so far. There is no way to really use the iphone 3G with 3.0 GM on t-mobile as the baseband is upgraded... now what i want to clarify is..
I have a 2g iphone as well laying around somewhere.. if I slap 3.0 on it, is it possible to unlock/jailbreak it? im kind of confused about the 2g as there are so may different posts. thanks

Sorry dude, your iphone does not have GPS capability... You should get the new 3G S...

Well there is no official unlock/jailbreak for 2g yet. No its not possible just yet. I say you keep it and unlock it on 2.2.1 and sell it to someone that wants an iphone on tmobile or whatever for big cash to get the new one

Ive downloaded the goldmaster copy but every time I get it, it's in a folder and no actual ipsw is found. What file do I have to change and how do I update my phone. Thanks

Ive read on another forum that if we do the 'Update' option rather than the 'restore' option, the 2G on Tmobile will still work. Can anyone confirm this?

Ugh, I dont know why I am having a problem. I downloaded a version from SB and The megaupload and both download as a folder and when I try to change the file name it doesnt change to the .ipsw. I am running on a Mac. Anyone know?

Don't download them with Safari...Safari is unzipping the ipsw when its done downloading automatically...

Use firefox and it will be fine

You have to mount the dmg's.

metaserph · #**163** 06-08-2009, 11:27 PM

Compress the folder into a .zip archive, then change the suffix to .ipsw and you have your file. ON the Mac, pull out the .zip archive that just got extracted from the Trash, then change the suffix.

Or deselect "Open safe files automatically" on Safari prefs before downloading.
