This is for iPhone users who haven’t unlocked their iPhones earlier. Please do not upgrade your existing 1.1.4 firmware to 2.0 as of now. It will take a week or 2 for those geeks to hack open 2.0 firmware to be used on present JailBroken iPhones. So hold on.

Unlocked iPhone 1st Gen users, here is how to upgrade your firmware:

1. Sync your iPhone with iTunes 7.7 to make sure all data is backed up.
2. Download iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw (Official firmware). You should get a single “.ipsw” file. If your browser renames it to a .zip file, you should rename it to “.ipsw”
3. In iTunes click on the “Check for Updates” while holding the Option key on the Mac (Shift key on Windows)
4. Select the firmware you downloaded in step #2
5. Wait for your iPhone to update and restore.

All your App Store applications and data should be moved over, and all applications should run.

Do share your exeperiences while upgraded this firmware…

Yes, If you have an unlocked iPhone, please dont set your iTunes to automatically look of updates and install. Basically do not upgrade iTunes 7.7 nor iPhone 2.0 firmware which is going to be released anytime now. Bigboss says that the Installer.app might completely get ruined. Here is what he has to say:

Yep, 2.0 is just around the corner. Could be pushed by iTunes anytime now. My recommendation: wait, do not upgrade yet.  Even though it is expected for the dev team to have a jailbreak ready the same day, you need to be aware of what you will lose:

1) All current apps will stop working. Everything needs to be rewritten for 2.0.  If you are using any 3rd party apps and like them, you will lose them.

2) Currently, there are no themes available on 2.0. We will need a port of summerboard or freeboard for this.

Please wait for some more days, before you actually update your firmwares.
