I would recommend not to mess around with the speaker volume. Too high of a volume might blow off [so to speak] your speaker and you will void your warranty.
On the other hand, thats why you have headphones with the iPhone, so you can listen through those; however, I understand when it comes to showing friends. Well, it's a 1st Gen device, not all is perfect and we try to deal with it the best way possible.
Reason to stick with our 1st Gens:
As per the the device being 1st Gen, it is not that bad. I have heard too many horror stories about the iPhone 3G like cracks, bad reception, dropped calls and melting plastic. Also the 3G is not unlockable which makes our 1st Gens more sought after.
Help!!!
PLEASE HELP...I am new to the forum and a techno-newbie with the iphone...i have the previous generation (16gb) and i bought the unlocksiphone program to unlock it successfully to use here in Rio, where I currently live...i upgraded my itunes to 7.7 (just removed it and dowloaded 7.5) and tried restoring, but it won't let me...i can't seem to get this thing to work...i hold down the power and home key and now i have a black screen...sorry, i really don't understand the downloading of the other programs thing...i would be eternally grateful to get my iphone working again...I had it working here in rio..was back in LA when i downloaded 7.7/2.0 and now the thing just won't work...i would repay you with a great tour of Rio if youever came down!

General Notice: The unlocking techniques that are written here are for the 1st Generation iPhone ONLY, DO NOT try on iPod Touch and iPhone 3G. iPhone 3G can now be pwned and jailbroken using Pwnage 2.0 and WinPwn 2.0; however, the unlocking of iPhone 3G is still taking longer that what is expected. I don't have an iPod Touch, but if you have one, and would like to help, PM me and I will write up a FAQ/Facts for that with your help.

General Information
So we need to clarify a few things first. Some people are new and I want to include the proper terminology for all those who really eed it. So here it is:
The Dev Team
What can we say about the Dev Team? These are the people who brought you anySIM, first 3rd party "Hello World" app for the iPhone [yes it was not Apple Devs
If you want to reach them click here.
Firmware versions (1.0.0 through 2.0)-
These are the software versions that run/ran your iPhone. The very first one was firmware 1.0.0. the latest one released is 2.0
Recovery/Restore Mode -
If something bad happens, then this is your best friend. It wipes your iPhone clean of problems and then installs the newest firmware. It gives you a fresh start. This is categorized by the iTunes logo and the USB cable.
DFU Mode -
This is mode is only present from firmware 1.1.1 up. This mode is quite handy when it comes to downgrades. It is categorized by a black screen even and iTunes recognizing the phone as though it needs restore. To reach it you must have the phone connect to iTunes and press and hold the Home + Sleep/Wake button for 10 seconds. After those 10 seconds you let go of the Sleep/Wake and continue pressing the Home button. After let go and iTunes should prompt you to Restore. It takes a while to handle.
Jailbreaking -
Jailbreaking is the term we use to describe how we gain access to the root file system on the iPhone. Normally, we can only see a certain folder within this filesystem because of Apple's locking methods, called a chroot jail. This folder houses all the media stuff from iTunes, but not the juicy stuff, the iPhone's OS. Through several different methods which you needn't concern yourself with, we can "break" out of this little sandbox, allowing us to modify files and perform all these cool hacks.
Installer.app -
This is the first app you're going to want to installed once your iPhone is jailbroken. It acts as a portal to a world of 3rd party goodness and fantasy, allowing you install everything from the blatantly functional PDFReader to an appropriately named app called iBrate.
Activation -
The iphone is unique in the sense that it is completely reliant on this activation process to enable normal usage. If you hacktivate your iPhone, it becomes an iPod touch with camera and bluetooth, only unlocking it will turn it back into an iPhone ;P.
Unlocking -
Yeah, you can do that. What? The Apple "Genius" told you unlocking makes baby jesus cry? Who cares, babies will always cry anyway. The process of unlocking allows your iPhone to use any GSM sim. Note the term "GSM", AKA, not verizon, sprint, alltel, nextel, etc. These carriers are CDMA or iDen, a different technology then the iPhone, they are never going to work, so don't even ask. Unlocking modifies the baseband (see below), and can be a tricky proposition when it comes to FW updates.
Revirginizing -
If you attempt to upgrade an unlocked 1.0.2 to 1.1.1, your phone gets damaged and the baseband becomes bricked. To upgrade, you need to restore the baseband to factory settings first, and we call this revirginizing.
Downgrading -
Apple is keeping up the cat-and-mouse game just like they promised, so occasionally we need to take a step back in time to exploit Apple's previous mistakes. To do this, we can downgrade the iPhone to a firmware older than the one it has, but we need to initiate the restore process differently (DFU mode), and you will get an error, that's normal.
SDK (Software Development Kit) -
Apple finally got our hint and they came out with their own method of allowing 3rd party apps. Just one problem...it sucks. To make a long story short, they're the supreme overlords of the App Store, so good luck getting anything more complex than a tic-tac-toe game approved. Come June of 2008, firmware 2.0.0 will be released and we'll all have fun paying out the ass for every single little game. You really don't need to be greiving over the death of installer.app, though, 2.0.0 is already jailbroken. No, I am not kidding.
Dual Booting -
Dual booting is like running windows on a mac, you have two OS's that you can switch between. For example, you can run 1.1.4 and 1.1.1 on one iPhone. But to tell you the truth you don't really need it, because 1.1.4 has everything 1.1.1 has and more. Dual booting was made for hackers to jailbreak new firmware or debug programs. So if your not going to hack firmwares just forget about it .
...and just a few quick things you may or may not run into...
iTouch - Just another name for the iPod Touch
Repository - Server that hosts packages for installer.app
BSD Subsystem - A collection of tools that fill in the missing parts of the iPhone's core os, so we can do things like copy and move files.
SSH - Essentially a remote command line for unix, can be installed with installer.app
SCP/SFTP - Methods that are used to transfer files to and from the iPhone, integrated with SSH
WinSCP - A great SCP client for Windows
Springboard.app - Main launcher for the iPhone, it's what you see after you "slide to unlock", can be modified and replaced.
plist - A file that stores information for a program or iPhone preferences, short for property list

1.1.4 vs 2.0
Jav and other guru's...I've been reading and reading and reading. I think I've read every tutorial about downgrading, jailbreaking, unlocking, etc there is on the web. I've printed out every step by step I can find. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger. BUT..here's my big question. What is the ultimate difference between being on firmware 1.1.4 vs 2.0?? I know that both of them can be unlocked, as well as jailbroken. I've read the iClarified tutorials. I've read everything about Pwnage. I have all the pieces and parts.
The phone I just picked up is an 8GB...that was a friend of mines. He was on AT&T. It's never been hacked. He told me that he upgraded to 2.0. So...since it's already at 2.0 couldn't I just use the Pwnage tool and be done? or should I go back to 1.1.4 (thru itunes 7.5) and use Pwnage to unlock and keep it at 1.1.4? I've read people's complaints about 2.0. So this is why I don't know the answer.
Then part 2 is if I do decide to stay at 1.1.4 for now...am I just using the Pwnage tool to restore to 2.0 in the future?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to clarify this for me!

The big difference between 1.1.4 and 2.0.0 is >>>
1. Firmware 2.0.0 allows installation of 3rd Party Apps
2. Has the App Store
3. Scientific Calculator
4. Better Maps app
Keep your iPhone updated to the highest version possible always (to avoid bugs and stuff) which right now is 2.0.0. There is right now software 2.0.1 for the Original iPhone however, we must wait until the Dev Team says Pwnage is ready to handle the new 2.0.1 firmware. Until then the recommended firmware is 2.0, a little buggy still, but worth it overall.
If you stay at 1.1.4 and later want to update to 2.0.0, just create a custom 2.0.0 .ipsw and use iTunes to Restore your iPhone to that custom firmware [Notice: DFU to pwn is only if you updated to a stock 2.0 and lost Pwn status, if you are in a pwned and custom 1.1.4 a Restore to a custom 2.0 does the trick].

Ahh, sorry if this turns out to be a stupid question, but eh.
I got given an unlocked/jailbroken/whatever older iPhone by my older brother, but he modded it to hell and back. I want a pristine, freshly unlocked iPhone, running whatever firmware I can. I'd prefer 1.1.4, seeing as thats whats percieved to be the most reliable. However, I don't want to bugger it up, haha.
I've downloaded a fresh version of the 1.1.4 firmware from the first post, and I've downloaded ZiPhone. Now, the question is, how would I go about doing it without buggering it all up?
Thanks in advance!

Jav...thanks a million for your thoughts. Ok...here's the update.
I pulled the trigger last night (successfully but with questions). Went into DFU, restored the phone to 1.1.4 thru iTunes 7.5. All went well. Then I couldn't get it out of recovery mode. I tried several things. When I opened Pwnage (2.0.1) to continue on with the process it told me that I needed iTUnes 7.7 to move forward. Ok...so then I stopped the process...downloaded 7.7.1 and tried it again. Ok. All is going forward. Next, when I browsed for the 1.1.4 custom ipsw I made, Pwnage told me that was the "wrong software bundle". It wouldn't let me restore to 1.1.4.
Hmmm. So I tried it again, this time just went forward with 2.0 IPSW. Got to the screen where it is building the IPSW and it never asked me for the bootloaders and it never got to BootNeuter screen. At the end, it gave me an iTunes error (1). I did it again. This time I got an iTunes error 1600. So I threw away the "device" folder, ran Pwnage again...and this time it went through completely.
Voila. It's happy and working perfectly on T-mobile with FW 2.0 & 04.04.05_G.
So...the big question in the end of all of this is...why wouldn't it let me restore completely to 1.1.4? Why wouldn't Pwnage let me load the custom 1.1.4 ipsw? Should I have used an earlier version of Pwnage? Is the 2.01 version only for firmware 2.0?
Again...many thanks. It's because of all of these great forums that I was able to troubleshoot completely and get through it in an hour last night!

No Wifi...but I'm on the network...
Hello Jav and other guru's again.
So after my successful Pwnage last night...i am confused as to why I can't get on wifi.
I have a wireless network in the house. It see's it. I log on. I have full bars. But I can't get online. I can't get to the iTunes store. I'm clearly not live....even though I have an IP address and it looks as if I'm on.
Is this operator error? I do not have a internet plan (yet) on Tmobile. This is just me trying to use the wifi for now.
Any hints? tips? tricks I need to look for? Do I have to do something again to get it to kick in?
Thanks.

If you have 2.0 on an iPhone its best to stay there and use only 2.0. Pwnage will create custom 1.1.4 .ipsw, but Pwnage is not able to Restore your iPhone, only iTunes does that. iTunes 7.7 won't let you go back down to 1.1.4, only iTunes 7.5.
You must have Baseband update enabled to be able to have the options to Neuter and Unlock your Bootloader and Baseband respectively. That's when Pwnage asks for the bootloader files.
Im gonna tell you also that there is a mismatch between baseband version and software. 2.0.0 carries 04.05.05_G not 04.04.05_G. Restore with a custom 2.0 to get this fixed. Be sure to enable baseband update in Pwnage tool.
Just follow the guide in iClarified and you will be fine. There is also a giude here in MacRumors, it is not stickied so the search function helps to find it.
Let me see if I can find it.

Restore again your iPhone, maybe that should clear things up. If not there is something wrong. Unluckily I don't deal with Wi-Fi errors since I don't fully understand the Wi-Fi in an iPhone and therefore, I most definitely don't want to screw ur phone up.
can send/receive sms but not calls after using pwnage tool 2.0
hey guys,
i'm hoping someone can help a novice like me out. So, have a 1st gen iPhone that had been unlocked with ZiPhone ( 1.1.4 firmware) and worked fine. But then my bro borrowed it and accidently upgraded the firmware to 2.0 not happy
So I tried using pwnage 2.0 to jailbreak and unlock it. After a couple of tries it finally finishes and tells me that its flashing the baseband. However, now I am only able to send and receive sms messages but not able to make or receive any calls. I've tried doing it again several times but still with the same problem.
After one such repeated attempt to pwn it, on that occasion it decided to let me make and receive calls. However this did not last as the next time I turned it on it was back to old tricks again, only allowing me to sms. Once or twice a message has appeared telling me that the network I am trying to connect to is not allowed and to chose another. To me this suggests that something has gone wrong with the baseband but I have no clue.
Would love you all forever if I could use my iPhone again, I have been missing it.
Cheers

04.05.05_G vs 04.05.04_G
Hey Jav...
Thanks for the reply. Ok...I re-ran a new custom ipsw with the "baseband update" checked (funny how that is not in ANY of the tutorials...and I've read them all!). Once again...it didn't ask me for the Bootloader files. When Pwnage got to the BootNeuter screens it said I was already updated and finished up quickly.
So...I'm checking out the phone. Looks the same to me. But still no Wi-fi. So in doing some more research I think it's really your observation about the Baseband numbers being off.
In fact I read one of your posts from back in March about the differences between the basebands.
What baseband do I want to be on? (FW 2.0)
What's the difference between the two?
If i want to have 04.05.05...then how do I make that happen?
Did I get "stuck" in 040504 when I downgraded to 1.1.4 initially?
Is this related to Pwnage still not asking me for the bootloader files?
Do I need to go back a few more steps and start over?
Would that involve "revirginizing" or "restoring to factory settings" thru itunes and starting over?
I've even downloaded a fresh version of the ipsw restore for 2.0 just in case that was a problem. I haven't tried it yet...thought I'd get your thoughts.
BTW...how do I know what "week" my phone is? Would that matter to know?
Thanks in advance!

Great guide.
I don't know if this was already asked and answered or not, but I'd really appreciate some help.
My friend just upgraded to the 3G and gave me his first-gen. I don't plan on switching to AT&T, but rather using it as an ipod touch. My friend didn't upgrade to the 2.0 firmware before activating his 3G, and I've read that upgrading without an active att account can render the device unusable. I'm assuming I need to "hacktivate" the first-gen to get 2.0 (I'm currently running 1.1.4). If this is possible, what method would I use to do it?
I'm not worried about doing anything too extreme in the way of altering the iPhone, I just want the 2.0 update. The phone hasn't been unlocked, jailbroken, or hacked in any way.
I'm fairly new to all of this, so some detail would really helpful. (I have a PC running Windows Vista, if that matters.)

First of all, if you are planing to use it as an iPod, then just buy an iPod Touch. Same function and no need to mess with baseband and all that stuff. However, if your true wish to use the iPhone as an iPod now and as a phone later on, then read my next paragraph.
If you are in 1.1.4 and your friend has his 3G active, then there is nothing you need to do. The iPhone is already working fine. However, if you want 2.0.0 in that iPhone, just follow the instructions in iClarified on updating your iPhone to 2.0.0. You will end up with an activated iPhone that is also unlocked for you to use when you please.
Don't worry as nothing regarding jailbreaking and unlocking is extreme. Everything you do to the iPhone is reversible 100%, so don't worry. If something does go wrong [which won't], don't panic/b]. People always end up screwing their devices because they panic and start making up procedures. If something goes wrong, don't touch the iPhone no more and post here for any help. But don't worry, I'm just telling you this since I see you are still doubtful, nothing will go wrong [my iPhone is unlocked/activated/jailbroken on 2.0.0 and working in Honduras].
Since you are running Vista, I suggest you use WinPwn, Pwnage's counterpart.
Ok, first of, if you have 2.0.0 software in a 1st Gen iPhone, you must have Baseband 04.05.05_G. The difference is that 04.05.05_G is 2.0.0 accompanying baseband and things tend to work together better if basebands & software match.
To get 04.05.05_G into the iPhone create a new custom 2.0.0 with the following options checked on:
1. Activate
2. Enable Baseband Update
3. Neuter Bootloader
4. YouTube Fix
5. Unlock Baseband
Once you have all those options selected you will see that Pwnage or WinPwn will ask you for those bootloader files.
Here are the bootloader files you might need: Click Me
Don't worry about virginizing the iPhone. Once you create a custom firmware with the previous options highlighted you should be fine. Anything, please post.
hey guys,
i'm hoping someone can help a novice like me out. So, have a 1st gen iPhone that had been unlocked with ZiPhone ( 1.1.4 firmware) and worked fine. But then my bro borrowed it and accidently upgraded the firmware to 2.0
So I tried using pwnage 2.0 to jailbreak and unlock it. After a couple of tries it finally finishes and tells me that its flashing the baseband. However, now I am only able to send and receive sms messages but not able to make or receive any calls. I've tried doing it again several times but still with the same problem.
After one such repeated attempt to pwn it, on that occasion it decided to let me make and receive calls. However this did not last as the next time I turned it on it was back to old tricks again, only allowing me to sms. Once or twice a message has appeared telling me that the network I am trying to connect to is not allowed and to chose another. To me this suggests that something has gone wrong with the baseband but I have no clue.
Would love you all forever if I could use my iPhone again, I have been missing it.
Cheers
Ok, first of all, Restore your iPhone using an original stock 2.0.0.ipsw from Apple. This should leave you with a locked, jailed and unactivated iPhone.
After, follow the instructions on iClarified step by step on how to pwn your iPhone and load a custom firmware in it. Don't hurry through them or skip a step or even make up a step. Usually that's what screws people up. Take your time!
That should be all. Anything, else post.

To Everyone
Please note everyone that Apple has released 2.0.1 firmware for both iPhone 3G and 1st Gen iPhone. The Dev Team has announced that updating to 2.0.1 firmware brings a baseband update which diminishes chances of an unlock (if any unlock is discovered).
Also, 1st Gen iPhone doesn't bring a baseband update, so updating will just leave you with an unactivated, jailed and still unlocked iPhone.
Support for 2.0.1 firmware will be released soon. Pwnage tool as a built-in updater that checks for updates every time you open it. WinPwn support will follow shortly as it takes cmw a while to port the tool support.
iPhone 3G is still only jailbreakable. Unlock for iPhone 3G has still not appeared.

Does this procedure also work to downgrade from 2.0.1 to 1.1.4 or 2.0??

Sorry, my bad. I mixed up the numbers. Correct Baseband for 1st Gen iPhone in 2.0.0 is 04.05.04_G.
When in doubt, go always with what the Dev Team has posted.
Sorry bout that
I will also correct the guide
I can't really say. According to the news around the net, 1st Gen iPhones don't bring a Baseband update so technically you can do those procedures and still be fine as downgrading the main OS isn't that hard.
Recommend you don't try them, unless you have the guts & know how to come back if anything should happen.

No worries! There is so much to keep straight in all of this I just wanted to be sure I was doing it right! Thanks for helping me through all of this! I really can't thank you enough.
Help!
I'm trying to downgrade my 1st gen iphone from 2.0 to 1.1.4 using winpwn. I do everything right through itunes and getting the 1015 error or whatever. then i try to pwn it and i select the 1.1.4 firmware and all. it unzips it and does it buisness...then in the window it tells me its beginning to pwn my iphone and it just stops. It doesnt do anything past that step. I've let it run for 20 and 30 minutes and nothing happens. What is the problem?

Watch out!
Ok, Just A Warning to Everyone That Has Used ZiPhone!
I Had My iPod (Yes I Know, iPhone Section, But This still Applies) JailBroke With ZiPhone before I Had A Mac. Once I Got a Mac, My iPod Had Some issues So I Restored it and Jailbroke it With iLiberty+ (Back in the Olden Days, lol) I Installed Mobile Finder and, to My Surprise, The ZiPhone "Installing Base Apps" and "Restore" Things Were Still There :/, Since Then, I Have Completely Deleted All Files That were, "Questionable," with mobile finder, Then My iPod Had Screen Issues, and it Thought it was charging 24/7 When it Was Not Plugged in! I Restored it and Returned it to Apple and They Sent Me a New One No Problem! Watch Out if You Jailbreak with ZiPhone! If Apple Decides To Use there "magic" on your Phone to See Its File contents, you may just be in some trouble! Also, It is My Belief That iTunes Only Restores Files in The OS Partiton (Other Then the Applications folder) That Were Put There By apple, Meaning that it Does Not Actually Format The Disk :0!
