Same problem I was getting but I JUST tried to connect again and its working now, its reactivating and restoring and its showing my firmware as 2.0 finally. I'll see if thats true when it actually finishes lol
This happened to me yesterday. My Macbooks USB ports stopped working during the install. I do not know if the installer caused the failure or not but try plugging in a usb flash drive. That's how I discovered my ports were the issue and not the phone. Restarting the computer fixed the issue for me.
NOPE, today's is 1,1 YESTERDAY's was 1,2
He said his RESTORE file was 1,2 from TODAY!
That makes no sense.
And that link above is 1,2 ALSO! lol
So I'm not TOUCHING my 2.0 update from yesterday until this mess is completely sorted out!
I had about a 40 minute hold on the "can't connect to iTunes" front, but just now it connected and activated, and now my original 8GB is back in business...
I tried to connect every couple of minutes and eventually it connected. My phone is restored and activate now, it's syncing my music/videos now and I should be ready to go.
I got that, it was fixed in about 30 seconds.ok so now im getting this "Activation Alert no signal Detected. signal is required to complete activation"anybody else getting this? i already got thorough the whole itunes error.
57 minutes and counting for me...
Over an hour now for me. Apple doesn't seem to understand how important it is for people to have a working PHONE. two examples
1) Why can't I just roll back my software from 2.0 so i can get a working phone? I thought this would be maybe a 30 minute process. I didn't think I'd lose my phone for the day. At least give us an escape route. They should now stop allowing downloads of the new firmware until the backlog of store requests clears.
2) I went my local Apple Store last month and was told the genius bar wait to get my broken iPhone serviced was 22 hours! The wait for a broken mac was only 45 minutes. (Guess I should have lugged my 24" imac with me for faster service). Why wouldn't the manager just shift some slots around to open up more for ipod/iPhone? I was seen in two hours after complaining repeatedly that a person's phone is more important than the ipod shuffles I was waiting behind, but it was not a fun experience.
I guess if I were smarter I would have ebay'd an old ATT phone so I'd have a reliable backup...
Got an error after lengthy "Backing Up" dialog
I tried getting official 2.0 twice this morning, and both times, there was a roughly 15-minutes "Backing up your iPhone" progress-bar, and then at the end of it, there was an error message saying "There was a problem backing up your iPhone. Do you want to continue? Continuing without backing up could result in a loss of all content on your iPhone".
Anyone else have the same problem?

Thank you for the advice! I ejected and reconnected until it worked, and it only took a couple minutes of doing that.
My 1st Gen is running 5A345 (beta 8) and has been for a week or so. So I'm not sure this is exactly true.
For those getting -9398
This was posted in thet linked Apple discussion forum earlier and it worked for me.
In iTunes, alternately click between something in the iTunes store and your iPhone. Apparently this maintains an open session. As you keep that session open with activity you keep your place in the virtual line for re-activation of your phone after the upgrade. One user reported 10 minutes, took me less than five.
It could get ugly with server overloadedness as 8am Pacific time rolls around. Maybe I won't head out here first thing and see if I can get the new phone at my relatively not-busy AT&T store.
By the way, is 7.08 GB of available space normal for a first gen 8GB iPhone when it has been wiped?

I got that same exact error after about an hour of waiting.
Now each time I try to plug it into iTunes, I get that same error.
yeah like not being able to download it, and now it says 1.1.4 is the up to date version again......
Other than that, I don't believe there is a problem with 2.0. Problems experienced now are only due to the extremely high amount of traffic to the store etc, frustrating but that's all.
Success!!!
Mine finally finished the restore after being able to connect to the iTunes store. was worried that it would reset back to 1.1.4 but after it rebooted and went to the home screen for a couple seconds before the sync, the app store was there like it should be. Now its just syncing everything from the backup
