iPhone 2.2 firmware's out now along with a new version of iTunes.

I'm liking the firmware so far and it appears to have stablised a lot of the issues people have been having since 2.0 and 2.1, with unresponsive menus etc. Also adds street view to Maps (if the location supports it) and the ability to turn off text correction.

bah
apparently it was safe for jailbroken 2G owners to update to 2.2.
It's unlocked but unactivated. dammit

I picked up a Griffin case for my iPhone. Much as I try to take care of it, the back of it is becoming a bit scruffy with light scratches, so it was time to do something about it. Despite my reservations, I'm pleased with it and the slightly more chunky feel to it is an improvement actually.

Boris, stick in an 02 sim and activate it through itunes.

Problem solved. Hopefully you backed all your jailbroken stuff for when the dev team hack 2.2

I'm patiently awaiting the 3g unlock. I got a turbosim device for £6, and it's working fine now after some... well... issues.

It kept losing the signal at first. I had to keep ejecting and reinserting, and I had to cut my sim, even though it claimed otherwise.


I'm actually loving the phone though. There's a few things it lacks, but SO MUCH that I wished I could do with other phones in the past that I can do with most of the jailbroken apps. (iblacklist being the main one that springs to mind. All phones should have a "block this number" feature.)

I just bought the official dock for £10 off ebay, and the wee connector cable. All I'm needing now are headphones that are actually decent. (really want sennheisers, but I can't stand the in ear ones that actually go right into your ear canal. I want to hear music. Not my bodily functions amplified. I mean, have any of you actually ever done a pump wearing a set of those?)

Got it all sorted now, activating an 02 sim didn't help at all.
Had to use iphone browser and delete the lockdown data. Tis all working now 2.2 on T-mobile

Noticed that through reading all the latest posts on devteam blog.

Also discovered that they're advising not to use the sim proxy device that I'm stuck using until they release the 3g baseband unlock.

At least you got it sorted now Evilboris.

As for now, 2.1 update is fine for me. I'll upgrade with the pwnage release.

still stuck,

got an us iphone unlocked pay as you go o2, its not a 3g iphone

i want to download the itunes store to get the apps is this possible without bricking my iphone?


also is it possible to sign up for edge on my iphone? thx

What firmware version are you running? If it's anything lower than 2.0 then you're not going to have App Store functionality. It's not too difficult to jailbreak and unlock a first gen iPhone at all and the latest 2.2 firmware has been cracked so definitely worth diving into.

Ok ive encountered a little problem with my iphone. Basically my volume button is broken and hypersensitive, the travel has gone on the down part and it only needs to be breathed on and the volume goes straight down, most annoying.

Heres the tricky part, its still in warranty but ive unlocked it. Now i could restore it to its factory settings and original unpwned state, but i dont know how to blag it with O2 seeing as i dont have an O2 number?


Whats your thoughts guys?

[djtickle]

Plus anything i should know before i upgrade software etc?>

I think you want to use bootneuter and turn neuter and unlock to off

then restore it via itunes

This'll make it look like a virgin iphone.
