I have not used any Called ID hacks since the last 4~5 firmware revisions. And I use the +91 format for both mobiles and landlines.

Why is he dependent on the caller ID hack?

[srijit]

Tadu, he is dependant on the Caller ID hack since he has got more than 200 numbers which are in 09xxx format. He says that numbers in +91 9xx format are working fine without problems.
So N_C, you can upgrade without issues, if this is the case

I too use the +91 format. It was a pain, but I only had to do it once. Guess my friend is just plain lazy

I use +9198*** and sometimes the caller registers with 098*** so i've had that issue. i'm tryng to update all my 492 numbers to +9198*** and then check if there is an issue,
The crazy thing i did was save the number with both formats as and when I had the issue..
So it's not solved period.

ya caller id is a problem with me as well. Openssh was not visible on Cydia. So i restored it three time and all was fine on the third attempt.
Otherwise the phone is good.
For applications add ths source: http:\\cydia.hackulo.us and then install: "MIPatch".
Restart you phone and now you can install all cracked apps...

Updated to 2.2 yesterday but not without a few hiccups (and emergency chats with Tadu) - first the Pwnage tool (2.2) downloaded from iClarified failed to put together the custom IPSW. It failed about 7 times, so I downloaded the tool again from the iphone-developers blog and then it worked.

Finally iTunes on my Mac Mini kept downloading the legal update from Apple without searching for the custom ipsw on the harddrive despite pressing the option button while clicking update.

Had nearly given up when I decided to try this on my laptop (Windows) - copied the custom ipsw file across to the laptop and synced the still-in-DFU-mode phone with the iTunes (not the latest version) on the laptop - BINGO it opened up the explorer window to locate the custom ipsw on the laptop.

So after a few anxious moments, I was able to upgrade - not sure if this problem is caused by the Mac or by the version of iTunes. To be on the safe side, do this on a Windows PC with the older version of iTunes (i.e., version before 8.0.2).

So steer can I sync back to my Mac itunes after the upgrade?
My windows laptop has itunes 8.0.1 and isn't the update to 8.2 necessary for the upgrade to 2.2
pls confirm.

Dont think so - at least not if you're using a custom IPSW (i.e., jailbroken) because my Win laptop was running 8.0.1 when I upgraded.

[johnda]

steer one more thing. On the iclarified site there is a win and mac version, so if i'm going to use the win version do i have to download the ipsw(for win) or Are they the same for both cause I got the Mac one already ( I remember reading that you moved to the PC after trying on the mac so I guess the ipsw was the same. or was it?)

[normally_crazy]

Updated to 2.2 and lost my wifi. Spoke to tadu - he asked to go back to the original 2.2 and not the custom restore.

tried doing that and the phone is stuck in recovery / DFU mode. Any idea how to get out of it ?

[Jaggu]

Upgraded and everything aok for now, only difficult part was the downloading of 244MB file :P Mine is a non jail broken phone.

Most evident difference is the contacts, they have become real snappy. no its not coz of restore since i have been using the phone for last 48 hours plus.

[johnda]

I have the all the files downloaded but not yet ready to upgrade. Jaggu, yours is a 3G or 2G?
Mine is a 2G phone and I'm waiting to upgrade to 2.2

[rajismine]

Few questions answered here:

1.) IPSWs are not different for Mac and Windows. they are the same. For iphone 2G the firmware is: iPhone1,1_2.2_5G77_Restore and for iPhone 3G: it should be: iPhone1,2_2.2_xxxxxx

2.) You dont need ti upgrade to iTunes 8.0.2 for upgrading your phone to 2.2. Its ok to have iTunes 8 or 8.01 or 8.1 whatever

3.) If you are stuck in DFU or recovery mode, press both home and power button for upto 30 secs and it should work. Otherwise try the old Ziphone 3C to kick out of recovery mode. Mind you: DFU mode and Recovery mode are not the same

4.) If you are still not able to kick out of the recovery/DFU mode, keep the phone connected and iTunes will detect it in the recovery/DFU mode. Then do a restore of your phone. If you have downloaded the IPSW on your computer. Click Shift + Restore and point to the 2.2 firmware.

5.) Better dont try custom IPSWs for 2.2. Do a original 2.2 factory restore and jailbreak using the Dev team Quickpwn 2.2-1

6.) If you want to run your hacked apps on 2.2 and dont want to do the SSH stuff to crack/hack the mobileinstallation file, do these simple steps: Go to Cydia and add this repository: Welcome to Cydia.hackulo.us!. Now install MIPatch and restart your phone. Now you are set to install hacked ipas thru iPhone.


Best of luck...

Any updates on the non-3g phones that upgraded to 2.2 ?

Have the hanging/lagging issues of 2.1 been resolved?
