I downloaded Grip's custom firmware and did a shift+restore and everything works flawlessly!! Cycorder works perfectly, but Intelliscreen is not working for me.**Correction - Intelliscreen is working now! 2.1 is pretty smooth!!

Grip I hate to even ask because youve already gone above & beyond (btw thanks again for the custom fw!!) but can you just give a fast step by step as far as updating to the custom fw ?like do we shift/click restore etc. or is it already posted somewhere?

thanks a lot one more time worked flawlessly , really appreciate all your help

**aayman_farzand** · 09-13-2008, 03:44 PM

how are u guys able to select the cfw?????? for ****'s sake will someone tell me already? i've been waiting for like 2 hours, more than enough time. Somehow everyone gets a reply and my post is ignored. ******* weird. now my phone is stuck in restore mode and getting a ******* error 6.

So please I am begging you, how did you select it? Normal Shift + restore is not working, it goes to "Extracting Software directly".

Do I understand this right just download the custom firmware then do a shift restore right from itunes 8? no winpwn or quickpwn needed as long as already pwned and unlocked etc.?

thats correct. the firmware is already pawned, and apparantly you just need to restore it. and i cant even to a shift restore. did i download some ultra secure itunes??

**NArush** · 09-13-2008, 03:49 PM

Correct. That's exactly what I did and it worked for me.

dude, please read my post. I cant restore using cfw, just original firmware. this is driving me crazy

**NArush** · 09-13-2008, 03:59 PM

Are you using windows and are you an AT&T user? And which custom fw are you looking for?

**apummell** · 09-13-2008, 03:59 PM

Dude Read Above Your Post!!!!!!!!

**timmyinpajamas** · 09-13-2008, 03:59 PM

just to clarify ..
download gators firmware
update itunes to 8.0
plug in iphone
dfu or no ?
and shift restore and select gators firmware

someone please confirm these steps for me .. so dfu or no ? .. and thanks for your time gator .. your a nice guy

**NArush** · 09-13-2008, 04:03 PM

No dfu - I didnt do that. Just shift+restore and let 'er go. I used Grip's custom firmware too - Zero problems. Of course, then select the custom fw after shift/restore ...

**kh0sa** · 09-13-2008, 04:03 PM

Do you need 8.0 iTunes to restore ?

**apummell** · 09-13-2008, 04:03 PM

Plug it in shift restore !!

ya windows non-at&t user, on itunes 8, trying to restore using cfw 2.1.problem is, it failed the first time and now its stuck in DFU mode. Shift restore didnt even work the first time.

I had to replace the firmware in the "Application Data" folder because everytime i pressed shift restore, itunes DIRECTLY went to "Extracting Software" it didnt ask me to locate the cfw, it was extracting the official 2.1 backed up by itunes. So now I'm getting error 6 when i try to restore using a cfw, but it restores just fine when i use the official firmware

**pickeledpeter** · 09-13-2008, 04:12 PM

Im wondering the same thing timmy... With this custom firmware we dont even have to pwnd our own phones anymore so I dont see why people are having so much trouble. I guess i'll know how good it works after its done downloading.
