No, you CAN NOT jailbreak/unlock 2.0 yet. The software is NOT out. The only thing you can do is restore your iPhone with iTunes and have a regular 2.0 iPhone with AT&T etc.

i did this. it locked out my local sim card, but i just used my at&t sim to activate, then switched it to airplane mode with wifi on (love this feature) to ensure i wouldn't be billed for roaming. i also added the free app truphone and was able to make wifi calls using my at&t number without roaming and low rates. i have some friends in the US that are supposed to be adding truphone to their iphones as well so that we can talk to one another free. i am glad that i went ahead and did the the upgrade even if i locked out my regular sim i don't use my phone too much as i'm traveling so i am cool using the wifi truphone when necessary until the unlock for 2.0 is released.
iPhone 3G upgrade. 4 Hours outside the shop 2 INSIDE!
So I got up nice and early to head off to my local O2 shop (Princes Street Edinburgh). All good so far. They open their doors at 08.02 and sit down with a nice girl who clearly would rather be in her bed than in the store, but however very nice person. 5 minutes into the "Upgrade Process" she tried to call into O2 call center to do a "Manual Upgrade". She gets put in a que on the phone. Her colleague shouts across "Upgrade won't do anything as they don't open until 9am" but in good confidence she stays on hold. 45 Minutes later, still on hold. She gives up and starts to process the purchase (16GB - £59). To her and myself this was great get on the road, but no. O2 system crashed and would not allow the transaction. At this point there were around 50 people at most outside waiting to get in, but only 6 were allowed at any one time. Just coming up for the 2 hour wait, the servers back on and all is gooood! Make payment and rush home to get my hands on the goodies!
iPhone 3G activated in under 10 seconds and I could use it fine. Goes to update my 1st Gen iPhone to 2.0 (as my dad is getting the 1st one) and CRASH, the phone restarts after the upgrade with on screen picture wanting to be plugged back into iTunes. So I do it, and iTunes says "iPhone is in recovery mode. Restore" so I start the restore AGAIN, but this time iTunes pops up with "Unable to complete restore. Unknown error(20)". I tried for the next 4 hours trying to get it working as my in my mind I was like "£270 for a brick...". Gave up and got on with my day. Came back later at night to try again, but still the same. At this point Google directed me in the way of many others. Left it over night, plugged it in this morning and it's back up and working normally now!
Apple AND O2 really let me down on this! and still Apple has taken NO responsibility for it. Kind of a shame slandering Windows Vista when Apple has made a bigger bo-bo.http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/axmatt/iphone-20-failure.jpg

Speaking as someone with quite extensive experience: I waited in line with AT&T for 3 hours, didn't get an iPhone because they refused to help me (I wasn't the primary account holder, but was going to have him call them for permission--they wouldn't wait, and wouldn't hold a phone for me, far cry from Apple). I fixed that on the phone and went to an Apple Store... 4 hours in line there, and the guy accidentally activated me an 8GB when I asked for 16 GB. I couldn't see the label, and I didn't realize that it was wrong until he rang up the price... AFTER it was activated and had deactivated my phone. He spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T trying to reinstate my eligibility for a discounted upgrade. At the end of that, AT&T's final word was that it's 48-72 hours for them to reinstate my eligibility. If I wanted an iPhone 16 GB on launch day, that's $500, and they wouldn't give me a refund after my eligibility was reinstated. My other option was to go home with a totally useless 2G iPhone, because the activation of that 8GB iPhone BEFORE I paid for it deactivated my SIM.
I waited 7 hours in 2 lines, and another 2 in the Apple store in front of an iMac (which was pretty nice by comparison). I walked in with a working 2G iPhone, and left with no working phone at all. That's bullcrap. AT&T is going to get a whole lot of calls from me when my bill comes and I want them to waive some serious fees for the lying that their incompetent service representatives have done to me in connection with this (that is another story entirely). If the phone calls don't work, they will get plenty of formal complaints in the mail too.
So anyway, with all that experience, I can say that the iPhone's messed up launch day, as poor as it turned out, is still not much compared to the disaster that is Windows Vista. Wasting a day of my life is a pittance. I have plenty of days. Vista is an experience that spans many months. It will be years before Windows 7, and Windows XP is only marginally better than Vista. Vista is a horrible trainwreck. Try and keep some perspective, lol.
Haha.... agreed. but
I think you've got more patience than me (and I'm always told I'm a really patient person, doing on-site PC repair for a living and all).
I think in that situation, I would have convinced myself the 8GB iPhone would suit me just fine, and I really don't need to pay more for 8 more GB anyway - and gone on home with my new 3G phone!
That really is B.S. though on AT&T's part. Their lack of competence and customer service never fails to astound me.
I recently ordered their voice over IP service "TrueVantage" here, to replace my regular land line service (also recommending it to a good friend of mine), and they made a fool out of me on that one too. My installation went ok - but in her case, they wound up disconnecting her DSL service, making it impossible to use the TrueVantage service she purchased! (You could still call her number, but it went straight to the TrueVantage voice mail, since she had no Internet for the voice over IP service to run on top of.)
Then. she spent 4+ hours on the phone trying to get it corrected, with AT&T's DSL people claiming they "don't have very good communications with the other division that does TrueVantage", and they expected a 2-3 day delay before she'd have a phone line again at home.

Ben, I think you are out of luck for now. I could be wrong, but as far as I know, you should have waited for the unlock and jailbreak to be released before upgrading. Just because the firmware has been unlocked, doesn't mean it's ready for prime time.
Hopefully it won't be too long before the release for you. I am waiting on the unlock for my old iPhone so I can give it to my brother in Europe (his country doesn't have the iPhone right now, and if it can't be unlocked, he'll use it as a free iPod Touch)... but for now, thanks to AT&T, I have an iBrick like you, lol. Actually it is still usable, you just can't make calls. So maybe I should say I have an iPod Touch, or an iCan'tTalk. Yeah.

It's really hard to say what's wrong when the picture you posted is nothing but a BIG (way larger than it needs to be) BLUR. Do you think you could take a pictuer that isn't overexposed and blurry? You should also provide more information. WHERE and WHEN did you get that screen? What did you do? Did you interrupt the process or unplug something at some point? When did the screen appear? How long did you wait, etc. etc.?
I THINK it's showing the cable connect to iTunes picture I saw when upgrading my iPod Touch. I'd never seen that display before that point so I think maybe it's a 2.0 firmware indicator that indicates you should plug your iPhone into iTunes. It showed up on mine regardless during the upgrade process. I just left it all alone (it was already plugged into a USB port) and waited. It then finished updating and the screen returned to normal. Did you perhaps unplug it in the middle of the update process? I know when mine said "preparing for restore" and just sat there for like 8 minutes, I thought it was buggered, but it was in fact installing the 2.0 firmware (terrible notification system) and eventually finished on its own.
iPhone 2.0 unlock?!
Just googled it and found these guys....they claim to offer iPhone 2.0 unlock!
Anyone heard of them or tried their software?

I'm tempted, but may just wait until there is a free solution from ziphone or similar.
cheers,

this is **** i cant wait for all off you to have nice apple BRICKS!
can no one appreciate the hard work people put into a product! and people wonder why networks are charging so much!
I don't think this is the reason we are getting scalped for service... I'm also not saying that it's ethical...
You are right but in the UK they decided to delay the release of the "no commitment price". The same in switzerland. My question is if it will it be delayed in the US too?
This link should help you two out although im hesitant to give it since you both seem like you dont know what you're doing (no offence)
Anyway it should help but i WONT be held responsible if you FUBAR your phones
Please read this before supporting those lowlifes and their ilk

Hey guys...
Any luck with backing up ones phone in 1.1.4 and getting that backup onto the 3G iPhone? I would like to keep 1.1.4 on the the original iPhone because a buyer wants it that way.
Would there be any conflict regarding a backup in iTunes 7.5 being used in the latest iTunes with the 2.0 software?
Is there a procedure here?

That's not a countdown. It's marching toward infinity.
It's currently referring to a point 14,000 days in the past and moving quickly. 1215940715 seconds isn't 19 hours.
good news?
well, i found this little slice of heaven:
iPhone1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore. i downloaded and clicked on it. it opened up itunes and wa-la i was restoring my software again. although it did not restore it back to 1.1.4. (i wasnt expecting it to) it did proceed with 2.0 installation and now my iphone is semi fixed. i mean semi as in i cant use it because it is not unlocked but it does still work fine.
i guess now i will try to downgrade to 1.1.4. or wait until the dev-team releases their software to unlock 2.0. what should i do?
