Atleast itunes and apple should put notice with itunes when the suggested any drawback for new updates. or should give the updates with its solution also.

Hello!

a friend of mine updated his iPhone 3G 'accidently' to firmware 2.2.1. & baseband 02.30.03. The device is locked cannot be used to make/receive phonecalls. I want to help him.

As I understand it - he is screwed. Apparently there's no software solution for this - for now. And no clear view on a solution from the DevTeam is not in sight.

So what are the options: buy a new one, obtain a valid sim or ... do the trick with a turbo sim. Will that help my friend? What I read on the interweb tells me there's no guarantee that the turbo sim will actually make it work.

Is this a correct summary of the options? Thanks for helping me helping my friend out.

Regards, Benedictus

PS: You can't downgrade, and besides, you don't have to now!

And if you're iPhone buggers up from this or from whatever you've done to it so far, just use iTunes to restore your phone to factory settings and start over.

You can jailbreak the iPhone with the latest 2.2.1 firmware upgrade and even with the baseband at 2.30.03. I did it. Quickpwn has just released the software – you get it from their site. It’s just all the websites that talk about jailbreaking haven’t gotten hold of this news yet. Remember – this is jailbreaking only..not unlocking. Again – If you upgraded to the 2.2.1 firmware, 2.30.03 baseband, you can jailbreak only using the newest version of Quickpwn.

I have a 2g with 1.1.2 fw had it unlocked to T-mobile with just the sim card I don’t know if it was jb had someone do it for me. I mistakenly uploaded 2.2.1 from itunes I thought I was downloading a unlocking program. But wait, I already have a unlocked iphone(I wanted free upgrades for life. Can you say greedy) The error message said my sim card was not supported and now I can only make emergency calls. I’m an idiot. I know, but I still need HELP!!!
