iPhone 2.0 Firmware (5A347) Available Early

MacRumors · 06:52 PM

Once again, digging through Apple's XML files has revealed the url to the iPhone 2.0 Firmware that is presently available on Apple's servers. The firmware image has a filename of:

link removed

This build is slightly higher than the one of the latest iPhone Firmware Beta (5A345) which was also spotted on shipping iPhone 3Gs. Despite the filename appearing in the XML file, the actual firmware has not yet been released officially. As well, the firmware carriers a "1,2" designation while all previous firmwares, including the beta firmwares carried a "1,1" number.

Apple has posted an updated guide about firmware upgrades and warns:

Quote:

Normally if you choose to update, the iPhone or iPod touch software is updated but your settings and media are not affected. If your device currently has a software version prior to 2.0 (1.x) and you are updating to software version 2.0 or later, all data on your device will be erased in order to perform install the new software. In this case, iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.

In order to install the firmware, you will have to do it manually by pressing the Option key when pressing the "Check for Update" button in iTunes.

We expect the firmware to be officially released shortly and will appear in your iTunes software update. If you don't wish to wait, you can use this method, but should proceed with caution.

It almost feels like opening all of your presents on Christmas morning before everyone else is up... maybe I'm just thinking that because everyone else in my house is asleep.

Downloading now, will try on my iPod Touch. The info mentions the Touch and iPhone together - maybe the firmware is now the same as well ... ?

bobertian · Jul 10, 2008, 11:07 AM

i am in the UK, with a UK iphone/02 account and UK iTunes account - getting a "Can only be used with the UK store" error

might this be the UK firmware only?

Macmichael · Jul 10, 2008, 11:27 AM

Once I downloaded through Firefox, the process was painless and somewhat shorter than advertised on "Forum". ITunes is now restoring all my music, video, contact and photo files. We'll see how it performs when the restoration is complete.

iBeast · Jul 10, 2008, 12:05 PM

Ppl who have installed 2.0: Does the ITunes restore back up your SMS Messages? I'm hesitating out of fear of losing my test messages.

Transeau · Jul 10, 2008, 01:01 PM

Push only works on ONE account at a time.

I was hoping to have push on my personal and business accounts.

johnhmeyer123 · Jul 10, 2008, 01:41 PM

I tried about 4 times and it keeps getting stuck on the"preparing iPhone for software update" and than I have to restore my phone
