    backup your stuff as usual
    go to itunes, press shift and restore
    thats it
    there is no jailbreak for windows yet only mac
    if you want jailbreak, hold off, or you can have a look and downgrade again

    im getting an error message "the firmware file is not compatible"
    its a .ipsw file , and seems to be legit.
    "iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore" is the name of it.
    any ideas?

    Wrong file. The correct one is iPhone2,1_4.0_8A293_Restore.ispw

    That's for the 3GS. Installed on 3 3GS iPhones on iTunes 9.2 beta with no issues

    It's the same file regardless of whether you are running Windows or OS X, as long as you have a version of iTunes 9.2 (beta or not). I think 9.2 was released the other day anyway.

    Yeh I got the new iTunes.The Thing is. This just bricked my iPhone (o:
    I can not switch it on. Nada, noting. It is just blank. No connect to iTunes even.

    Now I do have a dodgy fraid cable. I just hope It packed in as I was installing this file. Coincidence I know, and very unlikely. But il see for sure tomorrow. I have another charger in work.

    That worked amazingly well. What worries me is the bit where it said it was contacting Apple.

    That was relatively painless (luckily, only when it was started did I worry about bricking the phone :o) - the process was quick enough. The installation of iTunes 9.2 on Windows was a bit buggy, and took a while to install on Windows 7 (even though it's the final product, not a beta).

    First impressions are that Folders are a great (if overdue) feature: I've gone down from 6 screens of apps to just 2 screens.

    The new mailbox is a good bit better: Thread view is much easier to read.

    Can't really test multitasking until apps are updated. But it works well with the Apple apps (Mail, Safari, Clock, etc.) it's easy to switch between the applications and it brings you back to your main screen.

    (I can't believe I couldn't wait until Monday to install it)

    thats not a problem, it does that just to sign the firmware, if you were try to downgrade for example it wouldnt let you...

    Is there a definitive list out there of what features are enabled on the iPhone 3G? It seems like very few are. I knew multitasking wouldn't be but it seems wallpapers/folders aren't available either :(

    Installation was incredibly simple though!

    Is jailbreak available for this already? Which one?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,735 ✭✭✭Stuxnet


    only for ipod touch 2g and 3g iphone, no 3gs yet

    redsn0w .9.2 beta
