I used that guide and everything was up and running without any problems. Just follow that guide and you'll be fine. It has links for all the necessary files + screenshots on what you need to do  and YES it's worth it to update. 2.1 is way faster compared to the previous 2.0x firmwares | Thanks bud for the link & info and the quick reply!

so he gave it to me to try to figure it out. so far i've tried to put it back to an older firmware and that didnt work so i installed the newest one.
after no luck with any of that i brought it to the apple store downtown and they did the same thing. they ended up telling me that i needed to get a new sim card but i dont think thats the case because i used this one on the phone before and it worked fine??
anyone else have this issue? i've done a bunch of searches on the internet and i haven't found much.
*edit*
i have found a lot of people with the same problem but with not many useful solutions. i've also brought the phone to fido and they told me they can't do anything there but to bring it to the apple store.. which i've done already | I don't think the 3g has a software unlock yet (don't quote me on that though). Jailbreak is something totally different that shouldn't affect the phone function itself.
If you're going to take it back to Apple, I'd suggest making sure it's not jailbroken when you bring it in as the practice is generally frowned upon by the folks at Apple. You can do that by just restoring a factory firmware on the device (which it sounds like you've already done).
If it's not detecting a SIM and you know the SIM is good, just have them repair or replace it if it's under warranty. I'm pretty sure the guys at the Apple store will try to send it in if it's not repairable by the guys at the Genius Bar or whatever they call their tech guys at the store. (at least that was the procedure with my Nano when it failed)
When you go back to Apple, bring another GSM phone with you that you can interchange the SIM with to prove it's not your SIM card. That way, they can't blame your card. If they still don't believe you, then take one of their SIM cards and place it into your phone and test it. Don't let them give you the run around...

hey ch28, another n00b question for you before i attempt to do the upgrade to 2.1;
by using that method from that link you sent me, will the phone restore to it's current state right now? meaning, if i upgrade the thing, will i lose everything that's currently installed in the phone? or is there a way of restoring what i currently have? i have done a full backup of the phone one time via itunes which took about 12hrs. look forward to your answer & thanks in advance

My friend did this to me for a few days. I started getting really pissed off lol. I didn't know what the hell was happening, I thought that my phone had be hacked somehow and some dude was after me. He knew who I was and what I was doing usually. He sounded like a stalker. But it was one of my friends.. Man I got punk'd hardcore.
I will find out the name of the app tomorrow.. | what carrier are you on? the app is call spoofapp under toys i believe in cydia. i tried it out but it appears to only work when i call a landline with it. when i try calling mobiles phones the ids are all blocked. are you fido?

OK, I just got a brand new iPhone 3G 8GB from Fido today. No data plan.
So is there a way to turn it on for the first time now and check my firmware without getting data charges? When I turned it on, it said to plug into iTunes. so the iphone requires activation during the 1st time of use.
I would like this iPhone to work on Rogers. Would I have to unlock it?
If so, before I unlock it, would it matter if I should do the first time activation or not?

If you sync your phone prior to doing it then you'll still have all your calendar, contacts, notes and programs on there when you're done. All you have to do is re-sync the phone and it'll all get put back on.
Your jailbroken apps (installer/cydia) will disappear but all you have to do is reinstall them.

keep in mind pre 2.1 even if you did a 12 hr backup, if sync your phone after you did the backup and if you cancel any sequential backup when you try to restore you will most likely get a corrupted backup

Loving PDAnet...hopefully Fido can't tell.
Can a Fido or Roger rep confirm or deny that tethering is against the TOS?

Your friend probably pick "activate phone" when he did the custom software. When you do that to a provider locked iPhone, it will give you that message. Only way to fix it is to do another custom firmware and NOT pick "activate phone". Try that and it should work again Quote:
