Ummm... Actually the AppStore FB page opened quite a long time ago (like a couple of months)...
I was getting the 1604 error when trying to restore with the custom firmware. So I went and just clicked Restore in iTunes (in order to restore the original firmware from Apple). After the restore I closed iTunes and disconnected my iPhone (2G). Then I launched PwnageTool and created the custom firmware image. Then I got into DFU mode following the steps in PwnageTool (the DFU button). After that I shift-clicked restore in iTunes and selected the custom firmware and it worked like a charm! Now I am syncing!!!
YES! Finally got it to work! Thank you Dev Team for the very hard work! And sorry if we acted like whiny little babies for the last couple of days!
God I'm hating this... I created the custom firmware in Pwnage tool but when I try to restore my 2G iPhone using it in iTunes I get error 1604. Someone suggested I delete the files in ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support. Except there's no "Device Support" folder in that location! What should I do? I really cannot stand that emergency screen anymore!!!
I don't have a Device Support folder in that location... Only iTunes Plugins folder... Any help! Please I'm desperate here!!!
I love having a Hackintosh :)
Nope, apparently this is a 3GS only feature.
Apple really only cares because of their contracts with the official carriers. Jailbreaking actually makes the iPhone more popular especially in countries where it's not officially available... Which essentially means more $$$ in Apple's pocket.
ultraSn0w is only required for the 3G. The first iPhone can be activated with QuickPwn which should be available here soon (hopefully).
I think he just started using Firefox or something...
