2.1 Custom Firmwares Here..

[Grip]

restore to the normal 2.1 FW.. restart, kill itunes helper, connect iphone, DFU mode, start itunes (after DFU, after a restart), option+restore.. should work..

ive done this like 6 times now.. i even got another iphone 2G..

[vassalle]

the iTunes helper is a mac thing right? Theres no iTuneshelper here in vista.

I can choose the FW with shift+restore, but soon after unpacking the software, it gives me error 6 and i'm stuck at restore mode.

Right now, I restore back to 2.0.2, quickpwn and update to 2.1. No JB for me atm

phone must be pwned first
- i used winpwn 2.5 to jailbreak, unlock and load custom firmware first (v2.0.2)
download gators, or other custom firmware
update itunes to 8.0
plug in iphone
no dfu required
hold shift and hit restore button, then select custom firmware
do a restore of settings
that's it... easiest thing i've ever done

BTW - I'm on T-Mobile with 2G iPhone and running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP laptop

I'm on 2G 2.0.2(quickpwnd) 16gb. Vista/Itunes8.

All I need to do is Shift/Restore-select Custom FW?

Hey guys, I know we can't post torrents here, but I just found one on thePB that's for gen1 phones, no custom boot loaders and a 1.5G sys partition. It's only a search a way. I'm restoring right now and will post back with results.

Search for "iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Custom_Restore.ipsw" uploaded by CopyL3ft

(Mods, if I'm outside of the forum law, my bad!! Not tryin to step on toes at all.)

*Update*

Dammit . . . the phone restored just fine complete with Cydia & Installer but as soon as it booted up, it did all kinds of fly flashing stuff in BootNeuter that I've never done before . . . now iTunes is giving me the old "I can't read your phone so restore"

This isn't normal behavior in my lil jailbroken appliance so I'm guessing that this in not the ATT friendly vers...and so the search continues. . .Ah well.

This was so easy it wasnt even funny, update itunes to 8.0 and restore with the custom firmware 2.1, smooth as silk

thanks so much grip, you're the man!

[BIGDADE]

Grip,

Are these activated as well? I assumed the non-AT&T one was activated, but I did a Shift+restore in iTunes 8 and it went flawlessly. Except for asking me to activate at the end. I am currently on a 2.0 pwned firmware. Thank you for taking the time to release these!

[daceptikon]

updated and unlocked with ease, everything works fine, only one problem. now I am trying to sync my iphone to intunes to transfer my music and the iphone won't show up in itunes? what do I do??

once again thanks to every1 that thanked me.. i guess a little bit of effort can go a long way..

as for the actual FW.. the only option the Pwnage gives me is whether or not i am planning to activate through itunes.. for the non AT&T obviously not going to activate through itunes.. and the AT&T friendly for activating through itunes.. hope that helps..

[daceptikon]

Update....Itunes recognizes my phone now...it was just a matter of restarting my computer...and so far everything seems to be working...

thanks

after reading thru hella pages.. it seems these fw files att friendly and non att friendly are for 2g 1st gen iphones... i have downloaded them and awaiting install tomorrow on my 1st gen 2g phone.. i finally found the 3g 2nd gen iphone cust fw and wanted to share with everyone here

again this is the ATT friendly 3G custom fw for everyone who has the 16gb white iphone or 16g black iphone or 8gb black iphone 3g

Do all of these custom firmware for the 3G unlock as well or just jailbreak? I'm looking to just jailbreak, not unlock. Just want to make sure before I try to install one of them.

This is not working for me. I am using Grip's firmware, and everthing seems to go fine. I get to the screen where it explains how to rearrange my icons and I hit Dismiss. Then when I get back into iTunes and it asks whether I want to set up as a new phone or restore one of my backups. When I choose today's backup, or any previous backup, the restore runs, then the phone reboots and when it comes back up it keeps vibrating every 10 seconds and it's stuck on the pineapple screen with the twirly icon spinning. I've left it for a half hour and it never stops the buzzing and twirling. So I basically have no contacts, which is a bummer. If I don't restore from backup, the phone works ok, makes calls etc. But I don't have any of the data that I'd really like to have on my phone.

Do not restore from a backup. Set it up as a new phone.

I'm on 1.1.4 on T-Mobile. I used iLiberty to unlock,jailbreak, activate and etc. Can I just use one of the custom 2.1 firmwares mentioned in this thread with itunes 8 to do my upgrade or do I need to winpwn to 2.0.2 firmware first?

Thanks for any and all help.

Worked great for me. Thanks for the link. All I did was download the right cfw, quit ituneshelper, shift+restore, and all was good. Did not even put into DFU mode.
