iPhone 2.0 Firmware (5A347) Available Early

[Supermunki]

Just a more comprehensive solution for all those of you who still don't fully understand what's going on with the ipsw becoming a zip and unpacking; you have the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" box checked in your safari preferences. You need to disable this as it automatically converts your ipsw file into a zip, unpacks it and then deletes the original file. Check your trash to see if there is a file called iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.zip or iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw in your trash. If there is the zip, you need to move it out of the trash then change the extension to ipsw and tell itunes to open it then. If it is already ipsw then just move it out of the trash and tell itunes to use that. If there is no file there, right click on the folder that safari created, tell it to compress to zip, and then when that is done rename the extension to ipsw etc. (Sometimes leopard users will find the files downloaded and expanded by safari to be trashed, while I think Tiger just keeps them at the download location, dunno though as it's been awhile since I last used tiger)

Safari leaves the original Zip file in your Trash. Just check it.

yeah, belay my earlier statement: use firefox, or turn off "open safe downloads" in safari (which stops the auto-unzipping) or get the zip out of the trash. you'll be good to go. nothing has changed.

Like I already said... use Firefox to download

Or turn off "Open safe files after downloading" in Safari.

Anyone else having problems installing Super Monkey ball or other Apps? I also had a error installing weather bug. I am attempting to install super monkey ball for the third time.

Edit: third time was a charm, I closed iTunes, and disconnected the phone then restarted and connected the iPhone and it installed.

I've an o2 contract, but not an iPhone one, so mine's jailbroken at the moment.

Question is, if I run the 2.0 update, does that main it's only going to work with the official sim card or, will it be unlocked to run on any o2 simcard.

Methinks I might give it a go.

I'm more interested on how O2 are offering the facility for those who upgrade to have their old iPhone turned into a phone that will work on any o2 sim - so there has to be an official solution out there - maybe iPhone 2.0 software is the solution rather than o2 doing it remotely?

As far as I know simlocks only lock at the level of carriers (or carriers of a certain country) so the simlock will not be able to distinguish between SIMs used with iPhone tariffs and other tariffs offered by the same carrier. So you should be OK.

Update installed and working great. Already installed Pandora, AOL Radio and eReader. Listening to AOL Radio right now. I really like the mass delete.

Mass delete is like a gift from heaven. Remote.ipa ain't bad either.

if i buy super monkey ball now, is it limited to working on 1 iphone, or will i be able to use it on my iphone 3g tomoro??

anyone know??

 

[erkster]

Well, I bit the bullet and tried an update on a ZiPhone jailbroken and unlocked phone, and it installed but now goes to the activation process in iTunes and says it is unsupported SIM.

So for all of you that want to give it a go, try at your own risk.

I agree, mass delete will be great

Would still very much appreciate it if anyone could confirm that hacked/unlocked iPhones remain unlocked after upgrade...

edit: Thanks erkster!

 

[adm58]

Oh man this is bad. I told myself I wouldn't get the 2.0 on my original until I got the 3G (just so it feels more...errrmm new) but now I'm temped I want Supper Monkey Ball. Must....wait..24 more hours..

Seems like you're trying to trick yourself into thinking the iPhone 3G is actually worth the money and effort.

Or turn off "Open safe files after downloading" in Safari.

How about then running the latest version of ZiPhone on your phone now??

 

[martinwhxx]

To answer those who are asking about updating a (ZiPhone unlocked) 1.1.4 jailbroken/unlocked iPhone, I've tried it and it didn't work.

I'll keep experimenting...

In the meantime, proceed with caution if you have an unlocked iPhone.

Hmmm, my ipsw file decompressed automatically. Here's a shot of the iPhone1,2-2 folder. Is there something there I should select? Or, should I download the ipsw again?

You'd do well to read the thread before posting.

Not for me.

Followed the directions in this thread (Option Click Update and selected the iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw file which I downloaded from the link provided) and all went smoothly. iTunes is now re-syncing my data (songs, videos, etc.). The Application tab is now up in the upper right corner, just waiting for its chance to be used! I've already downloaded AIM ("iChat") and Apple's "Remote". I'll be installing "Remote" first.

+1. And I had to restore my iPod because I tried to update before others confirmed it was a bad idea.

Doesn't it make you want an iPhone just that much more?

(especially when you payed $349 for your iPod 16GB vs. $299 for iPhone)

No MobileMe for... me.

And here's what I get when I try to access it from System Prefs:
