@peterh,

1. Yes, the upgrade should work on iPhone 2G with any firmware version. But make sure you download the correct firmware.
2. Yes.
3. Yes, as you have been pwned before.

BTW, you can also use blackra1n to jailbreak and upgrade your iPhone OS to 3.1.2. Check out the guide here.

Hi Simon,

I would have some questions, maybe others are also interested in the answers:
- Will this upgrade work with iPhone 2g firmware 1.1.1?
- If my phone is already unlocked should I check the ‘Unlock baseband’?
- My phone is already jailbroken but I don’t know with which tool (maybe not pwnage). Should I answer ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Has your iPhone been pwned before?’

Thanks a lot for your time and your answers

I have a very old iphone 2G running firmware 3.1 and baseband 05.11.07. I’m trying to unlock so I’ve followed these steps correctly to first jailbreak but my custom restore from itunes bombs saying the firmware is not compatible

If anyone has any ideas that would be great thanks !

@Niaomi, you can download the iPhone 3GS firmware here. Make sure you download the iPhone 3.1 firmware for iPhone 3GS. For the baseband file, you do not need them for iPhone 3GS. You'll need to use ultrasn0w to unlock your iPhone.

@Hjr, for 2G, please refer to this jailbreak guide for details. Also, remember to check the "Unlock Baseband" option in Bootneuter settings.

Also,

Not sure if it makes a difference but I did the Pwnage on my computer and the iphone is synced with another computer; would that make a difference?

HI,

Did the update on a 2G phone, looked like it went well until plugged into Itunes and states that”the simcard inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported”

Any ideas?
has worked fine on my 3g.
