What firmware are you running?

[arcadian9]

i was running 1.14
hey i actually got into DFU mode
should i restore in itunes?

o and i have the old iphone 2g i think

[461am]

yeah, restore. That'll put you on 2.1, and then you can jailbreak & unlock with quickpwn.

[cpjr]

If your 1.1.4, you definetely have the 2g.

Yes, you need to restore from DFU. And either upgrade the firmware cause 2.1 is way better (buts its personal preference, you can stay at 1.1.4) or restore to 1.1.4.

Then, jailbreak again. Dont use ziphone if you upgrade though.

[arcadian9]

ok so i should restore with 1.1.4 and then upgrade to 2.1?
which way of jailbreaking do you suggest other than ziphone

do i just hit restore in itunes or do the "shift" and then select 1.1.4 firmware

[cpjr]

Just upgrade straight to 2.1 -> "Upgrade"

Then use either Pwnage or Quickpwn for the jailbreak (search em, there on here)

[461am]

it all depends man, if you're happy with 1.1.4, then just shift restore and unlock the way you did before. If you want to upgrade then you'd need quickpwn to jailbreak it. Google it.

bah.. You never get tired of beating me, hunh?

[arcadian9]

mehhh i didnt really like 1.1.4 crashed a lot but yea i just clicked on restore and update and hopefully it works

hey quick questions
i just clicked on restore and it updated my iphone automatically from itunes and now its restarted
so is my iphone currently in 2.1 firmware and now i use quickpwn to unlock it?

[461am]

Yup.

[arcadian9]

im getting an error with quickpwn saying "quickpwn was unable to interface with apple mobile device helper. Please ensure the latest verision of itunes is properly installed beforce contiuning"

i currently have itunes 7.5.0.20
mobile device is 1.1.2.23

[461am]

Well, in all fairness....you got me the first round above

[arcadian9]

do i have to switch back to 7.7 or do i keep it as 8.0 for the rest of the time

[cpjr]

Leave it at Itunes8....if your going to firmware 2.1, older versions of itunes wont recognize that firmware....

And even if your not....you can still use Itunes8
