I've got an iPhone (the original) and a copy of the iPhone OS 1.0 IPSW, it won't just let me restore down to 1.0, is there any way to do this? I think it would be really cool to have a device running the original iPhone OS, just for fun.
Got a tip for us?

Is it possible to put 1.0 on an iPhone

You can try, tell me if it works though. Cause I'll buy a original iPhone if it does
I know this isn't really helping you achieve your goals.... but for what it's worth 1.0 was nothing to write home about, I remember having troubles browsing safari with 1-2 tabs open while listening to music, would almost always cause a crash.
Yeah, I remember that too. It was pretty frustrating not being able to listen to music and web browse at the same time.
It would be pretty neat if you could but you can't because no one can sign the iOS not Apple not Saurik.
Correct me if I'm wrong guys...

The original iphone had no ECID and 1.x firmware wasn't called iOS back then. Don't see why you couldn't dfu restore to 1.0 then kick it out of recovery with tiny. I haven't tried this and I don't care to either.
Yea, I know, this isn't my primary iPhone though. I've got an iPhone 4 that use these days, I just thought it would be col to have an iPhone running the original firmware just to be nostalgic.
A DFU restore results in an error before the restore ever even stars. It expands the file and gives me an error immediately.
To the OP, no you can't.
Many reasons for it and those are not because of ECID or other stuff we deal today.

Bypass errors
I did this then I had my first gen iphone a couple months ago. I error happen when you downgrade and right after the "extracting firmware" in itunes. Go to www.iH8sn0w.com, and download iReb.
There is a mac version here: http://www.mediafire.com/?rib9hq8j18l8lfb

I don't think apple started using their current signature hash system until after 3.0. As has been suggested before, restore and try to kick out of recovery with TU.
Yes apple started using their signature signing on all devices about the 3g. The 2g and the 3g are downgradeable without shsh's.
What you'll have to do is edit your hosts file because Apple won't sign firmware downgrades. Switch over to Finder and click Go in the menu bar, then Go to Folder... Enter "/etc/" without quotes. Navigate to the file "hosts". Open it in TextEdit, and add the following to the bottom of the file, "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" without quotes. Then you'll have to press command + a and copy all the text in the file. Create a new TextEdit document, paste the text you just copied, go to Format, and click Make Plain Text. Then save the file as "hosts" and make sure under Plain Text Encoding, you've selected "Western (Mac OS Roman)". Then save the file to your desktop. Then copy and paste it into the same folder where you find the "hosts" file. Then it'll ask you if you want to overwrite the file and you'll probably have to enter your password. Okay, now go into iTunes, go to your iPhone, hold down the Option key and click Restore, navigate to your .ipsw file and open it. It should work after that.
Do you not read the posts preceding your's? There is no SHSH signing on the iPhone 2G. None. Zero. Zip. The problem is the baseband, you'll need to make a custom firmware (no idea how) that doesn't include a baseband update/downgrade.
i believe you also have to downgrade itunes? IMO it's not worth the hassle although it would be cool to have an iphone on 1.0
It's a little frustrating when 2 replies before you explained how shsh blobs are not needed. No worries though
. To the op, if you find out how, please post how to! It would be cool to see 1.0 again.
I've been trying to put 1.1 on my iPod touch 1G to no avail. I think an old version of iTunes will do it w/ DFU mode though.
I was playing with my old 2G yesterday and wanted to do the same thing. Tried iREB for Mac but couldn't get it to work. I'll try the Windows version next.
Just watch at the Keynote and you'll get a sense of how it was like..

you might as well put 2.x back on if you want to downgrade.
I remember the days when I first got my iPhone 3G (sam processor/amt of ram as the orig iphone) and thought it was awesome and snappy....
I couldn't copy/paste or use exchange, but it was hella snappy.
yeah, hella.

There is no way to without knowing how to code Pwnage Tool class application into overwriting the baseband firmware using a BootNeuter approach. Only the Dev Team knows how to. No, asking them for such favor will not work.
I have tried everything i could think of... Using the version of iTunes the system requirements on the back of the box states (can't remember of the top of my head), hell I've used just about every piece of software that has anything to do with hacktivating/jailbreaking an iPhone, and nothing will get it past the "Extracting software" step.
I'm afraid this may be a lost cause after all..
