Hi,

Now that the iphone is no longer with me, I sat down and had look back on what I had done that lead to my DFU screw up and I now know why I was unable to get to the DFU mode. MY SPEAKER WAS OFF.... so no beep and the screen on the iphone was not suppose to show anythine.

Now I do have another question, I believe I should be able to get another iphone 2G for less that 1K. Should I fork more $$$ for a 3G. Other than the 3G bandwidth bot the iphone looks and felt pretty much the same is it. I had not use a 3G iphone before.

jackdon <-- now my treo 650 looks so boring

Hey.... I am back hehe....

Nope I did not keep the iphone for myself so my son is enjoying that unit.

I now have another unit in my hand that belong to a friend and helping him upgrading it from his 1.1.4 to 2.0.1 and was successful. There is however some issue with the upgrade, after upgrding I proceed to test out the phone and everything works, the 3G Celcom works with Edge and Wifi works just great. I do have a problem with the Cydia upgrade and installing OpenSSH. For some reason the upgrade seems to fail with the following error message.

error: posix operation time out

I am unable to install OpenSSH so I am not able to do the patch for the phone and country patch. I actually did a restore 3 times and still the same issue. Now I use the same image I use for my son iphone. Is that a problem because I did not rebuild a new custom image 2.0.1 because I figure it is the same image anyway.

And the story of my life begins again. So I figure I might as well rebuild another image again, so I fire up winpwn 2.4 and rebuild as per instruction except this time I expanded the partiion to 602MB. After that I proceed to DFU it and did the shift restore and then it HAPPEN AGAIN. This time UNKOWN ERROR and the phone boots up in recovery mode again with the itune and usb connector image. OK no problem I thought fire up ibrickr 0.91 and horror...... it cannot find the phone, I think it expect a 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 iphone and now the unit I have is in 2.0.1....

Well I tried so many option and google for at least a good 20 minutes and finds nothing. So I figure I might as well do the restore to 2.0.2 then quickpwn it or lets see from there. While downloading it I played the iphone and notice that if I were to hold the power and home buttton for more than 20 second it power down and I am able to do the DFU, WOW hehe..... I just shift restore it back to the image that I build for my son now... So it is now working but I am not sure about the cydia update issue.

Will update later.

Answering my own post it seems the posix error is due to bandwidth issue at the repository site. So looks like there are lots of iphone upgrading to 2.0.1
