Yes! Downloaded, joined, and installed. There was a scary moment during the install where iTunes said it couldn't recognize the device or couldn't activate it, but once the restore was complete everything turned out fine. Thanks again for all your help - I really appreciate it!
Okay. Great. I'll try again and will let you know how it turn out. Thanks very much!
parts 1 and 2 are each 30.3 KB and the "joined" file is 60.6 KB.
Also, I don't recall if I unlocked my iPhone the last time I jailbroke it (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't) but I'm still using AT&T. As such, I used the "NOT ACTIVATED" versions of the files, as instructed in this post. I don't want to lose the ability to unlock my iPhone in case I want to switch carries in the future.
I'm using a jailbroken iPhone 2G. I downloaded 2 files (part one and part 2). The first one is called iPhone1_1_3.1.2_7D11_NotActivated_Custom_Restore_iLikeMyiPhone.ipsw.001 and it is 30.3 KB; the second file is iPhone1_1_3.1.2_7D11_NotActivated_Custom_Restore_iLikeMyiPhone.ipsw.002 and it is also 30.3 KB. After I joined the two files, the new file is called iPhone1_1_3.1.2_7D11_NotActivated_Custom_Restore_iLikeMyiPhone.ipsw and it is 60.6 KB.
Can you walk me though the steps you took? I also have a jailbroken iPhone 2G, trying to upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1. I don't recall if I unlocked or not the last time i jailbroke my iPhone, but I'm still getting my service from AT&T, so I used the "NOT ACTIVATED" firmware, as instructed at the beginning of this post. Are you unlocked? Are you with AT&T?
Many thanks!
I don't receive an error number, such as 1600, etc. All I get is a pop-up window within iTunes that says, "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible."
I really appreciate your help! Many thanks!
I could use some help: I have a jailbroken iPhone 2G running 3.0.1 and I want to upgrade to 3.1.2. I followed the directions, above, downloaded the two files for the 2G iPhone with an AT&T contract (described above as "not-activated official carrier"), successfully joined the two files with HJSplit, and followed the rest of the instructions to the point where I hold the shift key (I'm using Windows XP) and while hitting the "restore" button in iTunes. I browsed to the newly joined firmware file and received the following error message:
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible."
I double checked and I believe I downloaded the correct files. Is there something I'm doing wrong??
Many thanks for any help offered.
