iPhone Dock gives "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone" error

upgrade to 2.1, this patch works, no "This is ..." showing up. But the speaker doesn't work sometimes.

Looking forward to a new patch.............
 
i did the software hack to get rid of the "this... " error, saw the post about cleaning the contacts of the dock connector, so had a go at attacking the green bits with isopropanol and after a restore to a non-broken 2.2, success! the error has gone. now upgraded to the 3.0 GM and not seen the error once since.
 
I have tried three times to replace that file for (2.2.1)
And it locks up my phone after reboot.
All the icons are frozen.
I have tried different files from different sources and the same thing always happens. It locks up then it needs a restore and a jailbrake/break again.
Any ideas? 1st gen 2.2.1 (I read someone else had the same problem?)

Did you set the file permissions to 755 on the file? If it locks up on boot you should still be able to SSH into the phone. Set the permissions to 755 and reboot again.

Yes I did and it looks like this "0755". if you return and look at it, it automatically adds the 0. is that correct?
Going back in and replacing this file with the original one does not correct the lock up. It remains locked up even after reboot.
 
I updated to 3.0 -- Bad Mistake

After using the answers in replies #175 and #176, as noted elsewhere, I updated this morning to 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 and wish I hadn't.

Apparently, updating to 8.2 killed my ability to use Quickpwn to jailbreak the phone. Then, doing the 3.0 thing recreated the original problems, the "This accessory..." message and the lack of audio through the speakers.

Now I have an original iPhone running 3.0, that runs through its battery in a couple of hours, with so many distracting messages as to be unusable, and no speaker audio, that I can't jailbreak to see if the earlier fixes work.

Anyone know how to revert to 2.2, without an ability to jailbreak?

You should be able to restore the firmware back to 2.2 but I would recommend trying to get back on iTunes 8.1 the jailbreaking/unlocking with quickpwn.

Also for 3.0 I don't think QuickPWN is ready for the official release of 3.0 yet as it was just released today. Give it a few days and check on their site again.

This also answers my question about the message popping up on 3.0 hopefully someone can make a new iapd file for 3.0
 
Thanks i228

From researching, it looks like there is some sort of major roadblock to rolling 3.0 back to earlier versions, a bit of firmware code, I think it's called "broadband" or something similar. Apparently, the iPhone can get pretty scrambled if you get it out of sync. Also, you're right that I'd need to roll iTunes back to 8.1, but I have no idea how to do that, either. This would be a great time to just turn on Time Machine and say "yesterday," but I don't think that would work either.

Do you think that the iapd needs to be re-written for 3.0, or could I possibly just do a replay of the earlier fix (#175 or #176, whichever applies to the message)?

I notice that the Apple discussion forums have been down almost all afternoon, and I'm refreshing QuickPwn hourly, looking for a release.

The pits...

I'm personally going to stay on 2.2.1 until all the issues with 3.0 get worked out. It seems a lot of people are having some minor to major issues from reading several different forums. So I have no idea if this error also pops up in the 3.0 firmware as I'm one to wait until the storm settles instead jumping in head first and regretting it later on.

Try this link for iTunes 8.1.1.10 but scan first for viruses I can't confirm nor deny if it's legit.

I finally got a good IPAD file because it works great!
My phone is not locked up upon reboot and so far no pop up. Finally!!:D
 
we def need one for 3.0!!

I would recommend NOT upgrading to 3.0 yet though... It hasnt been jailbroken so even if the iapd file did work we wouldnt be able to get it on the phone.

follow that blog and when it says they have released the jailbreak then we are closer..

These are instructions on how to unlock/jailbreak your 2G iPhone to the 3.0 iPhone firmware using QuickPwn for Windows and Mac. Before beginning make sure you have updated to iTunes 8.2 This guide is for unlocking and Jailbreaking your iPhone 2G A.K.A iPhone Edge. I have tested this guide and it works perfectly on my iPhone. Many of us are looking for OS 3.0 because of MMS and Tethering, but let me confirm that these functions are not supported with iPhone 2G even it runs the OS 3.0 If you are new to business and unaware of basics then follow the following posts to be familiar with common iPhone jailbreaking and unlocking terms.

I have my 2g iphone tethered using a 3rd party program that I have from Cydia and there are also apps for MMS.

as for your post... I had read somewhere in the iphone dev-teams blog that the ihackintosh post was a fraud and a good way to brick your iphone. Not going to comment either way because I havent tried it....

The Mac version of the tool has been released now anyways and as always, the only guys i will trust are the ones over at the iphone dev-team
