iPhone 2.0 Firmware (5A347) Available Early

SPX said:
Folks, iPhone 3G shares a common code library with the classic iPhone for v2.0 of the firmware. However, having said that, 5A347 was designed as an internal build to be used only with 3G development iPhone units and does not include several of the code modules required to successfully run on a classic iPhone.

Build 347 is nearly certain to encounter difficulties when installed on a classic iPhone due, in part, to the reasons mentioned above. I am not prepared to say it's dangerous to install 5A347 on a classic iPhone, but it's definitely not a tested or supported firmware version for anything other than development edition 3G iPhones.

Seems to be running on my classic iPhone quit well. And..

If this version wasn't compatible with the classic iPhone you wouldn't be able to install it. I know for sure. You think Apple is really that stupid to allow a firmware designed for the 3G to be installed on the classic?

Syncing backs up contacts, SMS messages, etc.

What's weird is one time that did happen to me too.

I restored and came back with a clean slate. Had to reset my contacts with my Address Book on my Mac, and lost my text messages.

However, last night, I was using Syphone (SMS backup utility for iPhone), and when I re-synced Syphone saw all of my old text messages. They're not viewable on my iPhone, but they're on there somewhere.

Thanks didn't see this before my previous message. I'll have a looksie on the files when I get back to that computer.

That's depressing that means we could have it Apple is just choosing not too, and I think that is right because I switched my country to NZ, and cancelled before the end, but When I went to iTunes store it had the app store up, but when I clicked it reverted me back to the US store.

Any answers on my backing up question?

Click on preferences in itunes then on syncing. It should say which backups are stored on that computer. So (theoretically) it should restore to that backup after updating the firmware.
 
Update!

Yeah, so I finally have my iPhone underway for the 2.0 Update. Says it is prepairing it for the update. I am so excited about the APPS that I think I will not go bonkers waiting for a new update in the months to come because I have so many new things to download and look at.
 
anyone else completely bricked (screen is black and when i plug into computer, iTunes recognizes that it's in recovery mode, but cannot do a restore to 1.1.4 or with 2.0 software)? Anyone else in this situation? Anyone have a solution?

Again, I don't know what unlocked 1.1.4 iPhone users expected. The legit 2.0 WILL re-lock/brick/etc. your phone. You're probably S.O.L. until 2.0 gets hacked, which, hopefully, will be in a few days.
 
Is it just me or does everything seem slow after the upgrade. There is a lag between moving to programs, flicking, scrolling, etc. Internet access is dog slow now.

Do you know what code modules are not present in this build?

I have run every feature of my first generation iPhone completely through its paces and installed several new applications that utilize most of the older features (the phone, maps, browser, contacts library, etc.) and so far have not seen any problems. It would be handy to know what code modules are missing so we could test this build to make sure it will still work as is.

Thanks.

Like I said, those files are on my iPhone, but my iPhone doesn't see them. I'm not sure how to get the iPhone to recognize them again.

For future restores/updates, I'd make sure to click "sync", maybe use Syphone to save a log of your SMS's, mail your notes to yourself, and download all the photos, before restoring, just to be safe.

But again, I restored fully last night from a Jailbroken 1.1.4 to a Legit 1.1.4 and everything stayed on the phone (except for music and videos, but those are easy to put back on).

Commenters on both this site as well as TUAW with unlocked 1.1.4 have reported success...otherwise I NEVER would have tried, but now I'm in a bind and am just asking for help and if anyone else is in the situation where the screen is completely black no matter what is pressed.

Completely messed up

I tried to do this and messed my phone up completely. Please help anybody.

It could not update, an error appeared and then it can't restore either. The phone is now useless.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
