Don't install iPhone update 2.2 if you want to jailbreak your 2G!


Recommended Posts

The rumors are flying about 2.2 being jailbreakable when installed a certain way. If you have a Second-Gen device, don't update it via iTunes when the update comes out tomorrow or risk not being able to jailbreak the second gen devices, which have yet to be jailbroken!

I can't wait to get some Cydia apps on my iPod Touch 2G

Bug reports on the Windows version of QuickPwn to me please.

I was wondering if you could help clear up a question I had. My iPhone 3G currently has a QuickPwned firmware v2.1 installed (with baseband 02.11.07). Am I already out of luck for the upcoming software unlock form the Dev Team (leaving me free to update to v2.2 and QuickPwn without any further consequences) or should I try to get my hands on a PwnageTool created custom firmware without the baseband update (which will be hard considering I don't have a Mac).

Yes, unfortunately it's likely you're out of luck since the later baseband updates do block the holes we're using to prepare for the potential software unlock.

That said, if you want to retain any hope - who knows, an exploit may eventually be found - use PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW without the baseband update.

If you don't care and are happy with the official carrier you're on, update using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to jailbreak.

Yeah! Sorry that I'm late to the party, just finished updating to 2.2 using the pwnagetool. I want to keep the old baseband so I can software unlock it in the future.

Though I did have some weird problems with it though. I was using a powerbook G4 for the whole ordeal as to keep the original baseband...hopefully that was the case.

updated to 2.2 with a custom ipsw using the pwnagetool. I went into the DFU and updated it. But then My ipod would be sporatic and then it would be stuck in the boot screen. So then I booted the iphone 3g back into DFU mode and tried to update it again but would get the itunes 1600 error. This basically made me **** a brick, knowing I probably just screwed over my iphone.

So then I check to find out what the 1600 error was all about. Apparently you have to boot into the recovery mode (not DFU) and restore the Iphone in that manner. So i restored the Iphone using the custom ipsw with itunes by holding down the option key. I did that and restored the Iphone once again. Now, it seems to be working perfectly and I have not had a hiccup yet.

So, how does one check to see if his baseband has been preserved using a jailbroken iphone with 2.2? Do I have to go into terminal and see for my self cause I'm curious to see if I didn't mess it up :(

Go into Settings > General > About and look at 'Modem Firmware'. If it's 02.28.00, then you've got the baseband update that came with firmware 2.2. If it's anything under that, then you successfully created a custom IPSW without the baseband update.

Boom Baby! its 2.11.07. Guess I am in the clear. Thanks Rob. You rock! :)

    • Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker with Google apps is now at its lowest price with 47% off by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker at its all-time low price with a 47% discount. The device features an AMOLED touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that should offer improved scratch resistance and durability. The Charge 6 is equipped with a range of sensors including an optical heart rate sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, built-in GPS with GLONASS support, red and infrared sensors for SpO2 monitoring, a skin temperature sensor, an ambient light sensor, a vibration motor, NFC, and multipurpose electrical sensors compatible with the ECG and EDA Scan apps. Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation. Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later. The tracker stores up to 7 days of minute-by-minute activity data and retains daily activity totals for the previous 30 days. In terms of water resistance, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a 5 ATM rating that should make it suitable for swimming and water activities. The tracker operates in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 113°F and at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet. Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening. The small band fits wrists measuring 5.1 to 6.7 inches, while the large band fits wrists measuring 6.7 to 8.3 inches. Both small and large bands are included in the box. When it comes to battery performance, the Fitbit Charge 6 should deliver up to 7 days of battery life under typical usage conditions. Features such as the Always-On Display, built-in GPS, and SpO2 monitoring increase power consumption and may require more frequent charging. The rechargeable lithium-polymer battery should take approximately two hours to charge from empty to full.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.
