I have an iphone G2 running 1.1.4 unlocked. Nowhere could I find the procedure to update from 1.1.4 unlocked to 2.1 unlocked.

Can you help, so I do not end up with a dead iphone on my hands?

@spinedoc, I’m glad you’ve had no issues while using backup with a Jailbroken phone. I’ve been using the iPhone since day one and the Dev Team have always warned not to use back up files while jailbreaking. Plain and simple. I think they know what they are talking about. Think of it this way. I know you’ve been around the WM platform… You must have heard that it is not a wise idea to use, say a sprite backup file after formatting to a clean install? It’s pretty much the same here. Especially while jailbroken. Something could be corrupt while jailbroken in the backup file that you may not even be aware of, etc…

I think some of you are making this a bigger deal than it actually is. Is it that difficult to not use a backup file in order to insure a flawless install?

I've always restored after jailbreaking, and NEVER had an issue. I've restored from a non JB backup after I JB to 2.01. Then I restored from my JB 2.01 backup after JB to 2.02. And just yesterday I restored my 2.02 backup to my freshly 2.1 JB phone.

I'm also running Winterboard successfully, not issues whatsoever. So I'm not sure what the issue is or what the dire warnings are about.

Works great, just used it the first time last week. Everything went very smooth.

@shON, Emo? ehh ok... Sorry you and some others have had issues. But telling people to use back up files while jailbroken is not the brightest idea... Anyone who knows what they are talking about will tell you the same. To each his/her own though. Good luck to you.

And to the rest of you please do not use backup files while jailbroken. You are just asking for trouble.

LMFAO emo bloggers...

FORGIVE ME for extending myself and trying to help those who might have ran across the same issue as I did, and apparently many others.

I restore from backups while jailbroken all the time.

My problem was restoring while the phone was not Jailbroken.

Jailbreak, winterboard, restore. SIMPLE.

I upgraded this morning and still had minor problems with it. I thought apple was fixing these bugs. Oh well I’m finally upgraded and jailbroke. Contacts is much snappier.
