2.0.1 on 1st gen and it's not jailbroken? Legit iPhone from AT&T or EU?

of course even if there isn't any cydia or installer icon to be seen, an iphone can still be JB.

Jailbroke+unlocked 2.0 using Pwnage Tool. Then simply did an upgrade to 2.0.1 via iTunes (not restore), which loses the jailbreak but keeps the phone unlocked. No Cydia/installer or whatever.

Maybe this is another cause of the lag. The remnants of 2.0 are still there.

precisely byte. that caught my attention as well.


even for EU iphones, i HEARD that they can only be compatible with EU based sim cards.

Not necesarily. I've used the T-Mobile sim card that are meant for German iPhones, slipped it in my Aifontriji, and it shows up working on it.

i was referring to the first generation of the iphone.


i was very close to ask my mates to rush over to Charles de Gaulle or Gare du Nord to get the french unlocked version for me, but held back thereafter.

Aiyak ... forgot about the ability to maintain activated and unlock after upgrading (not restoring) the fw. Only fw2.0 for 1st gen have the baseband upgrade while fw2.0.2 have baseband upgrade on aifontriji. That explain the unlock state and avtivated even after upgrading. Still feeling fuzzy after sleeping at 4am last night.

My bad. Didnt try those on the Aifonej. But arent the same sims used on the iPhone 3G works as well on their iPhone EDGE? Unless they have a return scheme for every iPhone EDGE user that had upgraded to the iPhone 3G?

it could have worked to be honest, stringfellow.


but there is a risk which i wasn't willing to take, as it may backfire. if it does, i will probably end up selling it on my british ebay account (and "donating" my profit away to ebay and paypal, paying off their extortionate fees)

Yeah, I suppose so.

I did hunt around for those "unlocked" French/German Aifonej, but they are a rare breed indeed. Plus the fact that you need to proceed to Orange/T-Punkt(T-Mobile) stores and trying to relay that info to their staff, ......not a suitable arrangement for me.

The easeness of software unlocks during the Aifonej days basically negates the need to really find these fully unlocked Aifonejs.

And that what makes aifonej a rare item. Now we can get aifontriji almost everywhere but only few are unlock OTB ... until Dev team found a software unlock la.

Even the news on those fully unlocked Aifonejs are so sparse, you cant find it anywhere. And the stores I went looking have many time mistaken my search for this, for a "software unlocked" Aifonejs. I gave up explaining to them, and cancelled my search after that.

ha ha. but but but, i still wanna hop over to the dark side...

Some news on firmware 2.0.2 by BigBoss.

2.0.2 Update A Dud?
Author: BigBoss // Category: iPhone

Right. So everyone is plenty excited to update to 2.0.2 to fix all those nasty bugs in 2.0 and 2.0.1 right? Well don’t bother. As far as I can tell it fixes nothing… unless you are on a 3g.

Before I say any more, I will say that the 3g baseband update to 2.08 provided me with a significant increase in signal bars for EDGE. I still cannot get 3g in my office, but my EDGE went from 2 bars to 5. If you have a 3g device, I suspect this, alone, is worth the update. Note though, the baseband update will probably neuter your ability to unlock with the upcoming unlocker from the dev team. Other benefit noted is that 3g to EDGE fallback now can occur without losing service which is nice if you’re on a call and it switches during you call.

Now then. The official release notes for the 2.0.2 firmware says “bug fixes”. So what bugs are fixed?

Reports on the internet say these bugs are fixed:

Sync time: Sync time with appstore apps takes forever. And I mean in the range of 1-2 hours. Anyways, this is not changed on 2.0. The sync time is stll horrible.

Stability: So far, 2.0.2 has crashed for me more times than 2.0 and 2.0.1 combined. In fact, the device managed to crash just sitting idle doing nothing! I mean literally the iPhone was in the dock and a few minutes later, apple logo and rebooting. App crashes have actually increased since the update. I have two devices updated and both exhibit the same behavior. If you are looking for increased stability, stay 2.0.2 does not provide it.

Contacts Lag: I never saw contacts lag in the first place and I still don’t see it now. Perhaps that is because I’m a hermit and don’t have enough contacts

Signal Bars: Ok significant gain due to 2.08 baseband for 3g. If you have a 2g, you do not get a baseband update and there will be no change here. This means if you were unlocked on 2g you will still be after the upgrade. When pwnage comes out, upgrading with pwnage will disable the baseband update (most likely) and you will not benefit from this. I am not sure if I get 3g from more locations around town or not though. I will take my iPhone out for a drive and test it. Update: I actually do get 3g more than I did on 2.0.1, but the same as I got on 2.0. 2.0.1 really was horrible for the 3g baseband.

AppStore / Cydia Lag: This is the most ridiculous bug and it’s still not fixed. Want to reproduce it easily? Install “Platinum Sudoku” followed by “Super Monkey Ball” and good luck ever installing anything from Cydia or AppStore again. It’s not as bad if you avoid the above two app installs, but it still is a pain in the back side. This is still not fixed. Our only hope is that Saurik can neuter this in Winterboard/ Mobile Substrate.

Mail Sync: As always, my mail crashed after I restored my backup just like 2.0, 2.01 etc. I can’t believe Apple would allow this problem to continue. Anyways, BossPrefs ‘fix user dir permission’ solves the problem. I guess it’s another example how the hacking community managed to fix one of Apple’s bugs. For those that don’t jailbreak? Well, I guess you can’t restore your backup.

his phone kinda gay, its refuse to run the winterboard

@Jas, dont angry yah, just kidding

so basically 2.0.2 isnt a good upgrade for 1st gen iPhone user eh?
hmm prolly we still hv to wait..
yet im looking forward to the improvement of winpwn 2.5
see what it can do..interface looks as Pwnage which simplify lots of things
ichy hands...when 2.5 is coming out!!

After all those installation and uninstall, reinstall with rebooted all d stage, and even tried to DL some themes (that confirm working on this forum), its still dont show up in d list... all blanks... Tried to locate where is d themes library and yes, its all there including that saurik's default themes.... But its ok frozzy, flashing this 2.0.2 after and see if it behave d same still...
