Hey i am in Japan and after i updated to 2.0.1 it said that there is an update to my carrier settings. when i tried to update it i get unknown error 0XE8000001

any ideas?
 
Also in Oz !

I'm in Australia and I got the same message when I updated. Hasn't affected the phone in any way that I can tell, but additionally, backups are taking longer then ever !!:confused:
 
after i updated i lost 3G signal in most of my house. i hope that this carrier thing is fixed soon because i read in another thread that someone in japan got it to work and their signal was boosted...

On another forum, someone said that restoring solved the problem.

However, when I tried it, iTunes still asks me to update and the same error comes back, even if, apparently, some carrier update was indeed done at the beginning of the restore...

Cheers

I'm in Japan and got the error too. But my phone works fine, the same (if not marginally better) than before. Of course, I'm referring to signal strength -everything else is MUCH better than before. :)
 
Do people not know how to use Google? I've never seen/heard of it before, but after 2 minutes of googling, some common causes are:

Issues with USB hubs
Not using USB 2.0 socket

A possible solution is to connect your iPhone directly to the computer and not through a hub, or to quit the "iTunes Helper" process and relaunch iTunes.

before you go trying to make someone feel stupid here is what i want you to do...bring back up that search in google and then go to the first find(which i know is the one you went to) and then look at the date that all that was posted. seeing how those posts were from november and december of last year i strongly doubt that it is the same problem causing that error. and just to make you feel better about yourself i did try what that forum said and it didnt work.

but hey thanks for taking time to post incorrect solutions on my thread.
