I upgraded my jailbroken 1.1.4 with BootNeutered 4.6 using iTunes with my Simplicity SIM in and it worked fine. No need to clean it, not sure what you mean by unlock.

Um Im sorry.. I mean for example I dont have an O2 ipHone contract (I have an O2 business contract (non iPhone based)).

Does this mean I can still upgrade to 2.0 and use the phone normally? (without installer etc though).

Few questions for you if ya dont mind

1. Did the unlock survive the update?
2. Did you restore to a clean 1.1.4 before updating?

Im currently on a jailbroken 1.1.4 with an unlocked 3.9 bootloader, in the event i do have a weak moment id like to feel safe in knowing that all i need to do is just restore and update.

Thanks

1. No, the phone gets locked when you apply the new firmware, as it would if you updated to any new official, locked firmware I guess. The difference now is that you can choose to activate without signing up for a contract. Whether this is a bug or not I don't know - if it's unintentional, it's a big oops. I'm more inclined to think, now that apple/o2 have changed to a more traditional way of selling the phone, they're happy to have old 2G phones on PAYG.

2. No, I did exactly what gumbald did...

...the only difference between mine and yours is that you have the old bootloader, don't know whether it'd make a difference. I don't see a problem with going back from official 2.0 to broken 1.1.4, but that's not said with any experience of doing so.

My Simplicity SIM worked fine, I would imagine this will be the case for any O2 SIM.

Im so confoozed o_O lol.

So you can just plug a 1.1.4 ziphoned phone into itunes and upgrade to 2.0 and it will work with a simplicity sim?? :eek:

Will_3rd · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:16

It isn't unlocked or jailbroken just using a bug that allows any o2 sim to be used with the 2.0 firmware.

correct

But presumably installer et all will not work?

Cavallino · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:31

So let me get this straight... if Im on a non iPhone contract, I could plug in my iPhone.. update to 2.0 and select PAYG option? (which means I lose homebrew/installer flexibility)?

nope not at the moment, will have to wait for the community to catch up for that

Elrein · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:33

Doh, beaten again :/

Cavallino said:

Correct, The 2.0 jailbreak hasn't been released yet.

Upgrade to 2.0 you gain quite a few good features but in doing so you lose one VERY good feature, i for one aint letting go of installer yet

Give it a week and that will probably change

Cavallino · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:47

To update do you need to revert the iPhone back to its factory state?

Will_3rd · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:49

No not at all I updated from 1.1.4 unlocked/jailbroken no problem.

Hmm oh right!
And your on a "non-iphone contract" presumably Will?

So you forgone installer etc? You reckon its worth the jump?

Will_3rd · 12 Jul 2008 at 18:55

Yeah just a normal £15 a/m o2 simplicity contract

For now anyway, only used it for an awesome tetris game I found via Installer most other things I got bored of or rarely used.

Might be worth a look, I love it for the iTunes remote alone

Only things I'm missing are MobileScrobbler and TaskbarNotify. Suppose I'll get them back when Zibri does his thing.

And Summerboard! I need themes!

Hmm so it seems like it maybe worth the jump?
Anyone know if we can email in landscape now?
