iPhone! To upgrade to 2.1 or not that is the question!

[short1uk]

I have a 2G iphone running 1.1.4 unlocked/jailbroken etc with ZiPhone. Runs like a charm and has been doing for ages - months. Recently people at work have been upgrading to 2.1 and QuickPwning it. Works fine.

I dont know what to do, whether to just stay at 1.1.4 - you know the saying, if its not broken dont fix it!

Anyone had a play with the 2.1 update? any good?? Why should I upgrade to it? Is there a better way to crack it than QuickPwn?

Cheers

Catherine

I did my own and then install cydia, to be honest I personnaly dont see the point?

with a jailbroken one as you know you can install pretty much anything you want as long as you can find it. I have the link to Iplayer, wikitouch, musicradio and bbc podcast so I just click and go. I have loads of games and an AV player as well as other "toys"

I think with 2.x you get access to some other email exchange features which is for a company anyway and the facebook and Apple app store.

The only time I would want to unlock a phone is if I had a 3g one and thats only for the quicker web.....

Only my opinion but I'm not going to bother upgrading at least not until they give me good reason



EDIT- I have been looking into this Quickpwn and being the gadjet geek I am, I would like to know if you need to use Itunes to update the firmware first or not?

Anyone?

yeah you do, so what you do it either

A plug in and click upgrade to 2.1 (making sure u have backed up first)

B down load the ipsw file from apple directly
https://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-5202.20080909.gkbEj/iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw

and do a shift restore.

Then follow the quickpwn thing and it works.

The link above is for 2G ones.

U on 1.1.4?

What apps u got on it, i got converter, wifi stumbler, SMBPrefs, wifi toggle. Thats about it

I have bene installing stuff from Cydia and the installer, I did put the facebook app on and it worked fine.

Remember as long as you back up your phone and it goes tits up you can always put it in DFU mode and try again

Think of all the cool new apps

I havnt looked that much to be honest i'm just happy I can install stuff if I want too

PMSL so true!

Some of the most IT illiterate people in my place (i am the it person) have them and come to me with them i am like OMG! send it back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course its my job to help them with it lol.

I might upgrade i dunno, did you uninstall all the apps you had before you did it? I think i have to uninstall summerboard as that will get backed up wont it? and i dont want to restore it as i will use winterboard.

Ive got my eye on a few of the old versions at the moment.
What's the difference between the old and new?
Any sites i can read up on?

Thanks

Thanks for that dude
Doesn't the 2G have gps also? How is it on that?

So stick it on the cradle open itunes ( 8 you say? ) i have the option then to upgrade to 2.1 or perform a restore.

Or do i put it in DFU mode (ziphone can do this) then connect up and hit select restore - select the 2.1 which i have already downloaded.
Let it do its thing, once done in theory it should now be locked.

Run the quickpwn thingy - is that right?

Because if i perform an "upgrade" to 2.1 it will keep all the apps which then will waste space?

I think the main reason i am hesitant is that I love my iPhone so much I am scared to break it! (geeky I know)

Redmond, we have a Pwnapple!
Window QuickPwn 2.1

Supports 2.1 firmware with the unlocking and jailbreaking of iPhone 1st generation (2G) device. Supports the jailbreaking of iPod Touch 1st generation device and iPhone 3G. Your device will need to be upgraded to 2.1 (using iTunes 8) before running this application.

It does NOT support the unlocking of iPhone 3G
It does NOT support the jailbreaking of second generation iPod Touch introduced last week

You will need to know how to use bittorrent to download this file.



Gonna do it tonight! then install winterboard and make it look pretty lol!

Your in IT and you cant use MSN?? tut tut there is only me in IT here so I can do what i want really

Then again whole company uses msn to communicate rather than talk to each other lol!

Catherine

[Neorion]

ha!

No skype either, we have a couple of thousand users so it would lag our network

we do use communicator instead of talking to each other, but you cant add exteranl addys!

Cool, you need to let me know how you get on! I would like to comapre differnces between 2.0.2 and 2.1 see if its worth doing.

Good luck lol

I was attempting to jailbreak mine on 2.0.1 last night and to not much luck. The program 'winpwn' kept crashing everytime it got into DFU mode, annoying.

I was only doing it as a selling point but I'm just gonna sell it as a normal phone now, it's brand new so should go alright

[Neorion]

[Graham88]

2G.

Yeah that sounds like the same method as winpwn! Tells you when to press power and home button, clever!

But it kept crashing everytime. Which then meant a restore, then try again, long winded!
