Some news on firmware 2.0.2 by BigBoss.

http://sleepers.net/news/2008/08/23/202-update-a-dud/

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.

@JasLyn

Got the winterboard working?

Same here.. completely disable my backup via mac software.

For sms, i can backup the SMS.db file which has all the SMSes via

var/Mobile/Library/SMS

then when i do a fresh pwn or a restoration firmware, i can always upload the SMS.db back to the folder.

Cheers mate..

Btw, i posted a new thread on iphone applications and i posted some of your tips and tricks. Hope you don't mind.

Sure thing..thanks.

Added on August 26, 2008, 10:20 pmLooks like Pwnagetool has some bug fix. Download has been suspended.

"We’ve had some issues with iPod touch devices and the latest version of PwnageTool for the Mac, in certain conditions incorrect permissions will be used and the keychain doesn’t save passwords. So hold on and wait for the next release, we’ll push out the updated version via Sparkle as soon as it is tested (it is being tested right now)".

2) Support for firmware 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2

3) The DFU helper, that you will help put the iPhone in DFU and you will avoid errors 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603 and 1604 than generic 6 error

4) The possibility of adjusting the size of two partitions

5) The Automatic Updater - no more downloading new installers

Hey Covinux, no gig at the moment. Working on finishing the 2nd album production. Then do album launch.

It seems that winpwn site is overly congested as they ask to check back later..hahhahaha.

Nice work there Corvinux..The GUI is awesome + The DFU helper works like how Pwnagetool does, which is guided with instructions rather than you figuring out how to DFU.

With Winpwn 2.5, pwning is so simple and easy. "Everyone can Pwn"

Added on August 30, 2008, 11:27 amAppstore is great while having to jailbreak the phone gives a 3G iPhone user more apps to use like WinterBoard, NemusSync, BossPrefs, MxTube etc that's not available with AppStore. So is cool to have extras.

---

Added on August 30, 2008, 11:33 amWhen you pwn an Official unlock 3G iPhone , you will skip the Unlock(Leave it untick) and activate + baseband upgrade will be greyed out for you. Then just proceed with the frimware customization. Enter DFU, restore firmware and you'll have your 3G iPhone jailbroken.

There's no "custom firmware" for you to download mate.

You need to download the original firmware(by apple) from post #2 of this thread.

Then you can custom the firmware via Winpwn 2.5 thus producing the Custom ISPW.

Then follow the instructions as winpwn will guide you thru the process.

Read the guide provided.
