2G running 3.1.2 trying to upgrade to 4.2.1

[ltrey99]

For some reason when I use redsnow 0.9.6.rc19 to try to upgrade my 2G from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1, redsnow goes through all the processes but the ramdisk doesn't show up on the phone's display screen & after about 3-4 minutes of a black screen the phone reboots back to version 3.1.2. Can anyone help me find the compatible redsnow version to upgrade to firmware 4.2.1? BUT AGAIN THIS IS A 2G NOT A 3G OR 4G.

Umm, to upgrade firmware... why don't you use iTunes? o.0

Also, 2G iPhones can't upgrade past 3.1.3, they're outdated and no longer supported by Apple (Just like how 3G iPhones can't upgrade to iOS5). The only thing you can do that I did w/ my 2G phone before upgrading to the new iPhone is upgrade to a custom firmware called "WhiteD00r"; but even then the phone is slow and it's just 3.1.3 w/ some iOS4 tweaks.

WhiteDoor? Where can I find this custom firmware?

Ohhhhh Ok I thought both iPod touch 2G & iPhone 2G could be updated to 4.2.1.
