1st gen iPhone help

[chris reilly]

I am more then sure the iPhone i purchased today is an ex AT&T one from america because of the wall charger it came with.

Anyway, its now unlocked and on o2 UK and jailbroken, iPhone version 1,1,1

I want to update to 2.1, but if i do this it will take away the jailbreak so where can i get that QuickPwn you mentioned and a guide (as im scared of doin it!)

Also, will it make my phone at&t again because i need o2

thanks so so much

it depends if you have a mac or pc but you can definitely google quickpwn and its a fairly easy process... i think if you google that, it will come up with some guides as well... you need to jailbreak and unlock the phone so you can use it on o2 UK... if you need any other help, feel free to pm me

My MSN is caremyspaces@gmail.com

I have a PC, what would you do?

read this thread (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-modifications/what-jailbreaking-is-and-how-to-do-it-27443.html).

[chris reilly]

I did before i created the topic, tbh, its all jibberish to me :(

[acosmichippo]

well, the links to the jailbreaking software are in it. and once you have that, it's pretty straightforward to jailbreak and unlock, believe it or not. The programs these days are tutorials themselves.

[chris reilly]

You know if i plug my iphone in now and update from 1.1.1 will it take away my unlock mode meaning my sim wont work?

[acosmichippo]

yes, i think the safest way to do it would be to restore with 2.1.0 (so you will be at "factory default"). Then use any of the programs mentioned in the jailbreaking thread to create a hacked version of 2.1 (which will jailbreak and unlock your phone), and then install that.

[chris reilly]

If i update now to 2.1, it wont make my iPhone at&t again will it?

[acosmichippo]

yes it will. temporarily. That's what the software mentioned in the other thread is for. It will create a hacked iphone software package that will allow you to use your phone on any GSM network.

[chris reilly]

Could you possibly add me to MSN? caremyspaces@gmail.com

thank you mate

[acosmichippo]

well, i haven't personally done an unlocking, so i can't give you much more info than i already have.

[chris reilly]

Right downloading to install now. Once thats installed could you link me to what is best for me to use.

I really am grateful for your help, i have had the phone for just a couple of hours. I am a complete noob! I am sorry

[chris reilly]

Please help,

I went through all the 2.1 updating and its came to a page in iTunes saying 'the sim card inserted in this iphone dones not appear to be supported'

the iphone itself has a usb cable going into itunes and says 'slide for emergency'

obviously it needs unlocking now, whats my best way to go about it and do i exit itunes? :S :'( i so hope i have not broke it

[acosmichippo]

that is expected. from lincon's thread, "If you are a Mac user, see this article (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/49988701/pwnagetool-and-quickpwn-for-2-1-firmware) for download locations of Pwnagel. If you are a PC user, see this article (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/50888951/redmond-we-have-a-pwnapple)."
