Just to update, I downloaded it again with Firefox, so it didn't download as a zip. It updated perfectly.
not to be a doom-bringer, but I think you bricked it.
Of course you can't format the phone either.... if it's legit (ie, not jailbroken or unlocked), contact Apple - you and the other guy who had the problem.
worked for me (instructions) mac

Confused
After I update to 2.0 and i restore from my backup it won't load past the initial apple screen on my iphone, the loading wheel just keeps spinning and eventually stops completely. I've tried to restore a few times now, nothing. Also, when plugged into my computer, the computer recognizes it can sync music.

Hello NewSc2,
i can not get it back to 1.1.4 , it either coan not connect to the resource or gives me error 20,
any help out there would be appreciated!
I just want to get it back to version 1.1.4 (Was a mistake to get the 2.0 to early)
Thank you
I went from pretty quick EDGE speeds in 1.1.4 to this in 2.0:
I think that might be an ATT issue, not the 2.0 firmware.
I just did the same test and got 0.12 Mbps (116 kbps.)
This is on my 1.1.4 iPhone that hasn't been connected to iTunes for a few days now.
Also, during lunch a few hours ago, I pulled out my iPhone and noticed it saying "No Service." I didn't think much of it because a quick reboot fixed it. But sounds indicative of AT&T issues.
Then again, testmyiphone says that the average EDGE speed is only 165.81 kbps, not a whole lot more than it is now...
I don't consider myself a genius by any stretch of the imagination, but what amazes me most about this thread is how many people bricked their iPhones simply by NOT READING THE VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS and/or even reading any of the warnings from, what now, maybe 35 pages of posts!?!?!
Truly unbelievable. Some of these people just deserve to own a brick, sorry.
I guess it's a testament to today's society in some way, I dunno.
And yes, my iPhone IS running the 2.0 software and everything is fine.
I just read every single warning ahead of time so I didn't trip over my own foot doing this and it worked out great.
I sometimes wonder how many people here I could entice to jump off a bridge with me (as my mother always used to say when i was a kid)

I'm having the same issue. I've tried all I know to try. I restarted computer, and iTunes and iPhone as well, but nothing will work with the new 2.0 upgrade.
Also, the old 1.1.4 update doesn't work either. It starts dowloading, gets about 20 percent done, and then says something about my iPhone having a firmware corruption, and stops the download.
I also kinda just want my iPhone back to it's old state.
Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
Do you have iTunes 7.7?
Basically, when I tried updating with the botched 2.0 firmware, it kept giving me an error message, so I tried restoring with the botched 2.0 firmware, and then the "plug to iTunes" graphic showed up on my iPhone, and when I plugged it into iTunes, iTunes would tell me that my phone was in firmware restore mode (or something like that, firmware archive, etc.).
I just clicked "restore" from there. (no option-clicking or anything). And it restored back to 1.1.4. From there I option-clicked and downloaded the correct firmware 2.0 (using Firefox), and that worked.
Be sure to sync your phone if you find yourself with an updated phone to back up all your contacts.
You might need to restart your computer for some things to update correctly.
EDIT: I didn't need to download the 1.1.4 firmware anywhere. iTunes should automatically have it.
Anyone Else Experiencing Battery Drain?
Exchange Activesync is working great, but I'm down to 40% battery after about 5 hours (it was down about 10% when I did the install five hours ago). Only a few phone calls and total of 10-15 minutes with Texas Hold'em and NYT software. Granted this is iPhone I and the "unofficial" downloaded 2.0, but that is a bit on the scary side.
What are others seeing?

Apple knows fully well there are hackers and breakers all over the world. There is no way they want to screw up the launch of the iPhone 3G by having people get ahold of a file that will brick their iPhone..
And besides that Apple is quit good at making sure a firmware update works on what it's supposed to work on or not work at all.
If this version wasn't designed for the classic iPhone it simply would not install as smoothly as it does.
hints...
the unknown error 5 is if you have not updated to iTunes 7.7
the unknown error 1064 is if your baseband is not correct.

Question?
I was just wondering, for those of us who have the 2.0 software, when we sync our phones tomorrow when the update is officially released, will our iPhones brick?

Go figure, there's almost 40 pages of the most impatient people on the planet trying to get the 2.0 firmware on their iPhones, all the while b*tching and moaning about jailbreaks and stuff not working.
What's 24 hours, honestly? Give it a rest. Congrats, you found the firmware before you were supposed to. Wow, it's causing problems! REALLY? This is one of the most pathetic threads I've ever seen on here. But, this does happen every single time Apple releases something new.

When I download it I get this, where's the .ispw file that I need to use?
Download it using Firefox or turn off "automatically open files" from Safari. Either way you need to re-dl it. I tried re-zipping that file and changing it to ispw, but it kinda botched my iPhone install. Flip back a few pages to see my results (I have a 2.0 iPhone now, works fine).
Thank you,
i tried it all different computers etc! Restart, Connect and force restore etc!!!!! No Luck, all the same error!
All the same, it will not let me downgrade back to 1.1.4, lets just hope that when the real update is out it will detect it and over write my mistake
Thank you again
Sorry if this has been asked and answered...
But, does anyone know when the new firmware for the iPod Touch will be available as well as the software we're forced to buy?

I think you're the impatient one here. Relax.
The rest of us come onto MacRumors to find the latest news on anything Apple. New MBPs, new displays, new everything. We're impatient people. We can't even wait until Apple officially announces anything. We need the latest scoop and the latest rumors on the latest iPod USB cable.
