   Maybe it was an app from the store! There are 2 pages on the springboard, if u would look.

   you can take screenshots by pressing home and the sleep button for 1 sec

   Yeah, just hold the home button and tap the lock button and it takes a pic and puts it in your camera roll

   did you need to restore first to get rid of the jailbrake data?

   Douglas on July 10th, 2008 8:54 pm:

   Well, we did restore it to 1.1.4 first then upgraded to 2.0. We won’t know what happened to the data until we can SSH in and see what it looks like

   Is jailbroken on 2.0?

   [Reply]

   

   Douglas on July 10th, 2008 8:55 pm:

   No, we upgraded Brooke’s and left mine on 1.1.4 jailbroke and unlocked. That way we’ll have 3 different kinds of iPhones once we get our new ones tomorrow.

   i heard that the http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-4955.20080710.bgt53/iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw 5A347 file is for the 3G iphone and has different hardware setup for the 3G, thus causing problems for the original 2.5G iphones that Brook has. It might corrupt her OS causing errors. I think we will be using the 5A345 image. Not 100%…did she rightclick upgrade or did itunes find the update?

   Braden on July 10th, 2008 10:31 pm:

   Nothing a restore wouldn’t fix. And the firmware is downloadable on apple’s site. Why would they release firmware that’s made foe the iPhone 3G, before it’s release?
   I’ve had 2.0 for hours now and it works fine. Locate me, YouTube, everything.
6. Jon on July 10th, 2008 6:56 pm:
   

   oh brooke your phone look so plain now, i was dissapointed with the free apps that was on appstore so im sticking with installer and jailbreaking.

   Douglas on July 10th, 2008 8:55 pm:

   What would you like to know? We’re installing every single app we can on it so we can test them all for everyone
8. Michael on July 10th, 2008 7:14 pm:
   

   I was seriously thinking of getting the 3G tomorrow, but I don’t know if I can live with a stock phone? And it could be weeks or months before we can safely jailbreak 2.0.

   Douglas on July 10th, 2008 8:56 pm:

   I’ll admit, some of the apps are worth it. But I agree. I will miss the features of Kate, Taskbar Notifiers, Different Themes, etc…
9. jaylou180 on July 10th, 2008 7:22 pm:
   

   are there any apps to customize or add themes?

   [Reply]

   

   Douglas on July 10th, 2008 8:58 pm:

   No, not at all. Probably won’t be. My guess is if it ever happens, Apple would release it them selves. Not all developers want their icons changed either. My opinion is it’s our iPhones, we paid, we can do what we want with them. That’s why I jailbreak and tweak it to be unique!
10. marcus on July 10th, 2008 7:50 pm:
    

    yeah it would be great to tell us how

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:01 pm:

    Sorry, previous articles explain all of this. Here’s how I did it. First you need to go to Apple’s Website and download the new 7.7 iTunes. Remeber, if you want to keep your iPhone jailbroke or unlocked DON’T UPGRADE So, then you need the firmware which you can get at our Firmware Page. Then just use restore in iTunes but hold the shift key when you click restore and select the 2.0 firmware you downloaded. Hope that helps!

    

    alfred on September 29th, 2008 11:28 am:

    hi marcus/doug,

    which firmware version did you used?…..is it iphone1,1_2.0_5A347_restore.ispw?…did it work?…thanks
11. se7en on July 10th, 2008 8:00 pm:
    

    Do jailbroken apps (1.1.4 apps) work on the 2.0 with no tweaking?

    [Reply]

    

    Scott on July 10th, 2008 8:22 pm:

    Don’t upgrade unless you want to loose all your 1.1.4 apps. None will work with 2.0

    

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:26 pm:

    Not sure yet, haven’t heard. It would be nice if they just worked once jailbroke
12. Thomas on July 10th, 2008 8:32 pm:
    

    Brooke and Doug. When you upgraded, did the January Pack come with it?

    [Reply]

    

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:27 pm:

    We have iPhones so we already had those apps. As far as I know, you can’t get the 2.0 yet for the Touch.
13. Braden on July 10th, 2008 8:35 pm:
    

    2.0 is ok for now. It’s slightly sluggish and buggy when typing. But the apps are pretty awesome. Especially the Remote app and MySpace.

    mjhunt on July 10th, 2008 8:59 pm:

    i agree…if it weren’t for the absolute need for push and exchange (and the knowledge that it’s the jailbreak will be public soon) I would go back to 1.1.4 jailbroken with all my apps and THEMES

    

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:28 pm:

    Yes, I’ve had 2 apps so far crash, one does it every time I hit a certain button, for sure a bug. Still amazing apps!

    

    Braden on July 10th, 2008 10:36 pm:

    Also, I love the uninstall via the springboard. It took me a while to figure that one out. Haha
14. Carey on July 10th, 2008 8:52 pm:
    

    I tried to upgrade but iTunes says 1.1.4 is the latest version

    Bob on July 10th, 2008 8:54 pm:

    You have to download it manually. There is a blog post here that directs you there.

    

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:29 pm:

    I added instructions above in this post.
15. iName on July 10th, 2008 8:56 pm:
    

    Brooke did you restore before you updated or did you just go for it?

    [Reply]

    

    Douglas on July 10th, 2008 9:29 pm:

    Yes we did, to 1.1.4. Then upgraded.

    

    Just Paul on July 10th, 2008 10:44 pm:

    I did not reinstall 1.1.4. I just downloaded the 2.0 and went for it. And np so far.

    I cannot upgrade to 2.0. I attempted to both, restore and upgrade. Every time I do this I receive the following error:
    ‘The iPod “iPod” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (5).’
    Please assist.

    Dohn on July 10th, 2008 9:44 pm:

    RE: “The iPod could not be restored.”

    Are you trying to apply it to an ipod? See above – only the iphone firmware is available as of yet – no ipod firmware.

    

    Alex on July 10th, 2008 10:02 pm:

    LOL… Now that would make perfect sense.
    I was eager to upgrade because I would like to play Enigmo.
    Aw well… I get to wait.
    Thanks Dohn for reminding me to pay attention. =D
18. Ricardo Felix on July 10th, 2008 9:41 pm:
    

    Hey Doug, when you restore/update to 2.0, do you have to be AT&T?
    does it come activated? or do you have to activate it with a AT&T SIM card?

19. Andrew R on July 10th, 2008 10:24 pm:
    

    I have upgraded to firmware 2.0 – has anyone else had “old” apps remain on their iPhone?
    How quickly I forget their names but the two I have are:
    where you personalise the AT&T wording; &
    an app that puts my appointments on the startup page.

    Given I’ve already restored, any suggestions on how to remove them?

    [Reply]

    

    Braden on July 10th, 2008 10:35 pm:

    When you restore, all traces of jailbroken apps or anything gets erased. Those two apps will not work with 2.0 until they are ported over.

    1.1.4 = much better selection of free apps
    i installed 2.0 on my touch, and kept 1.1.4 on my iphone, and yeah, there are some cool free 2.0 apps, but most of the good ones cost moneys……

    So If I restore my phone and add the 2.0 upgrade I will not be able to unlock it?

    Matt on July 11th, 2008 4:44 pm:

    not for a while…it shouldnt be too long unti 2.0 is jailbroken.
27. PicklePants on July 17th, 2008 11:50 am:
    

    OK, so I downloaded the firmware from your firmware page but when I click restore (while holding shift).. no firmware! I dont know what im doing wrong.

    heyy i just updated my iphone to 2.0 software, and i wasn’t aware that it would take my installer away, which i prefer more over this new app icon. Do you know if there’s anyway for me to obtain the installer again besides getting my iphone downgraded? Please email me if you know, I’d really appreciate it.
