I upgraded my 1st generation iphone to iPhone1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.
Now I am with FIDO ( Canada ) and this retarded iphone does everything, but see the sim card. I have swroe at the phone, flicked it, shaked it, gave it the evil eye, threat'n it and still it does not want to recogonize my sim card.
Does anyone know of any software or ideas on hopw to get this very expensive ipod to work so I can make phone calls.
pwnage tool. Let me know if you need some help. Actually, here is the tutorial. Just replace 2.0 with 2.0.2 and pwnage tool with 2.0.3.1. You can find the tool @ blog.iphone-dev.org
OK, here is what you need to do if you have an iphone 2G with 3.9 bootloader and unlocked using ziphone. Therefore, never been pwned.
-First, connect your current iphone to itunes. Back up everything. (Sync your accounts).
-Next, go into user/library/itunes and create a folder named "device support". If its already there, then delete everything in it.
-Now download the proper 2.0 ipsw file from this forum.
-Donwload the 3.9 and 4.6 bin files from this forum.
-Place everything on your desktop.
-Download Pwnge 2.0
-Open up pwnge 2.0
-Select the first option (iphone) but in expert mode
-browse your computer to locate the 2.0 ipsw file.
-Next in general tab, use enable baseband update
-In bootloader, checkmark the box for update the bootloader and checkmark upgrade to 4.6.
-Finally, pick build and hit the next button.
-Pwnage will ask you to locate both the 3.9 and 4.6 bin files. Locate them manually (Make sure they were unzipped first)
-Then it will ask you to find a location to save the new custom ipsw file.
-Hit save and Pwnage will build the custom firmware in the selected saved location.
-Pwnage will ask you for your administrative password to finalize the process.
-Once the process is done, you will get a prompt telling you to plus in your iphone using your usb.
-Follow the steps on screen to put your phone into DFU mode.
-Pwnage will tell you it successfully found your phone in DFU mode
-Next, close Pwnage and open up Itunes.
-Option click the restore button and locate your new custom firmware.
-Let itunes do its thing.
-Once the process is done, your iphone will boot into 2.0 software but don't touch it yet.
-Bootloader will do its thing by flashing your iphone to the proper baseband (4.6)
-Do not touch your computer while this is happening even if Itunes is asking you to set up a new iphone.
-Once the flashing has been done, your phone will be unlocked, activated and jailbroken.
-If you have two macs like I do, I did the pwnage on one and had my back up on another.
-Plug in your iphone and itunes should tell you to restore your phone with previous settings (contacts, pictures etc.)
-Choose, restore and let the iphone get all of your data back.
-You will notice a new tab for application.
-Checkmark "sync all applications".
-Get your apps from the itunes store.

Using Rogers in Canada and the pwnage 2.1 worked flawlessly.
A few questions about your guide:
- you say to update bootloader to 4.6 - I thought I read elsewhere on MMI that it's better to stay on 3.9 if that's what you've got. No?
- you're on Rogers with 2.1 - is this a 3G phone? Unlocked? I thought 2G iPhone unlock wasn't yet available for FW2.1. No?
- another question not touched by your guide: can you advise how to check APN settings in FW 2.0.1?
Sorry it took so long to respond. For 2.X firmwares, you need to be on 4.6. My phone is a 2G (first Gen) iphone unlocked activated and jailbroken. The iphone 3G is the one that cannot be unlocked at this moment. Finally, why do you need the APN? Edge (internet connection (data plan)) is automatically active in Canada with the 2.X firmwares. If you don't have a plan, better get one.
