mine doesn’t feel as responsive as my old 2G. The 2G phone used to “click”… the 3G doesn’t really give any feedback when you press it ---

Installed 2.2, drama free. Apps still work, don’t really see much different. Like the feature that jumps you to page 1 of your home screens if you click it from any of the other home screens. I guess it crashed a co-workers phone though. He had to do a restore to get it working again. ---

first, upgrade your firmware to 2.1 via itunes. DO NOT (I repeat, DO NOT) upgrade to the 2.2 firmware download the 2.1 FW [here](http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-5198.20080909.K3294/iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw) for 3G or [here](http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-5202.20080909.gkbEj/iPhone1,1_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw) for 2G plug your phone in and backup all your contacts and shit, ignore any message that says you need to upgrade it. After that is said and done, plug your phone into your computer and hold “shift” and click the “restore” button in itunes, then find the firmware file that you just downloaded. I can’t stress this enough, make sure that you’re using the proper firmware. Itunes will let you know if it’s not correct, but the jailbreaking software wont (or at least, don’t rely on it to). Firmware file name structure from apple: iPhone1,1\_2.1 = 2G iPhone1,2\_2.1 = 3G Then download Quickpwn 2.1 [HERE](http://www.modmyi.com/forums/downloads/windows/9/quickpwn-2-1-windows-gui-18711/) Then download these 2 files [Here](http://www.modmyi.com/forums/downloads/iphone/16/bl-3-9-file-17971/) and [Here](http://www.modmyi.com/forums/downloads/iphone/16/bl-4-6-file-17981/) unzip all 3 packages to the same folder (all at the base level directory) and then copy your apple firmware into said folder. From there, just run quickpwn and it will do the rest. NOTE: that you do have to do some shit manually during the process (putting it manually into DFU mode and picking options as far as boot image and shit). You will also need .net framework 3 installed good luck ---

It shows you how to put your phone into DFU mode (don’t do it), so you know what their asking for when you have to do it. It’s kind of confusing because you have to start by holding a button for X seconds, then press and hold another for X more seconds, then release the original button but still holding the second. ---

No I am not upgrading. Too many updates and lock outs. They update the mobileinstallation, baseband and a few other key components. Ill stick with 2.1 and keep my cracked apps. I dont really care about street view. Also, if you ever plan on using your 3G on another network using a software unlock in the future, you can kiss it goodbye with 2.2 update. All dev team work for the unlock to use on another network is on the old baseband version. ---
