Thread: Help finding iphone 2g and 3g ipsw

Hi guys, i was just able to get great deals on an iphone 2g and iphone 3g. Both are on OS 3.0(7A341). But i would like to upgrade them to 3.1.2, but as i cant use pwnage(no mac), i cant create an ipsw. My connection is very slow and breaks often, so i would love a torrent link with 2 custom ipsw's, one for the 2g and one for the 3g. If someone could link me, or even better, someone with a mac could make a custom one for me, id be very obliged. What i basically want is a 3.1.2 custom ipsw, with a 500-60 mb partition, activated and cydia installed. I would like to test it on my 2g first as it will unlock it. Both phones are already jailbroken and unlocked. I DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE MY BASEBAND. Ive seen a few rapidshare links but cant download properly off rapidshare :( .



On a side note, im not using any of the "sn0w" unlocks yet because wifi on both the phones dosent work. It just dosent find any wifi networks! Any help on this? Can any 3g unlock be incorporated into the custom ipsw via cydia during creation of the ipsw?

Sorry for the long post. Id certainly rep and thank anyone generous enough to help me here. If someone is really helpful, i could throw in a BMTV invite if he wants it(if he shows proper proofs).But im not sure, hence i didnt post in competetion invites. Thanks for reading!:001_smile::001_smile:

I can help you out later tonight, ill try to get everything together. I just have some stuff I gatta do today.

Edit: If you get the wifi to work do you want a sn0w release?

Make sure you check the following

1. Make sure the wifi is on, settings-->wi-fi-->slider on
2. Make sure you arent trying to connect to a wireless N network, only B and G will work.
3. I don't think the phone won't go looking for the wifi until you launch an app that can use it. So don't expect it to log onto a (new) wifi router if you are just using calendar or the iPod function.
4. Make sure the MAC address is correct

If none of that works you might have to RMA it...

THanks a lot for the reply dude. I might not mind using a sn0w release, but i do not want tu update my baseband to 5.11 . But blackra1n and blacksnow only work on 3.1.2 with the 5.11 basebant. And to use redsnow and ultrasnow only, i would need the older baseband incorporated into a 3.1.2 ipsw, which would require a custom ipsw. I will, in the end need to use wifi to unlock on 3.1.2 using ultrasnow, while having the older baseband. So im using the custom ipsw just so i dont have to update the baseband. Also, ive tried all the things you stated for wifi, but it still dosent work. Anyways, i could just use 3g to get the unlocks. WiFi is not important to me, as i dont use it. So if i can just get it ublocked, it will be fine. Replacing it is not an option for me though...

Right now, i only need an iphone 3G custom restore ipsw.

Just wondering if you were able to get the ipsw's?
If not, leave note here and I can create them for you.

I have a 3G jailbroken and using snow but i'm @ 3.1 (7C144) .
I'll read up on 3.1.2 and see if I can update mine without issues - if so, I can just use that ipsw and create one for the 2G.

No, i havent been able to get the ipsw's yet. If you used a custom ipsw to update to 7C144, you probably still are on baseband 4.26. So you just need to create a custom ipsw with 3.1.2 and the 4.26 baseband and use redsn0w and ultrasn0w(and give me the ipsw).

Though if you want to update your baseband to 5.11, you can still unlock using blackra1n and blacksn0w, but there is no point in updating basebands yet, and you cant go to 4.26 once youre on 5.11, so i dont see the point.

BTW, i dont require an ipsw for a 2g right now. Only one for the 3g will be fine. Thanks!

Thanks for trying to help dude, but where i am right now, megaupload is banned. I also cant download properly from any file sharing websites. Would it be posible in any way for you to upload it as a torrent on any public tracker?(or a private tracker that we both are a part of?). If you cant, its all right. Thanks a lot!

BTW, what options have you enabled in the ipsw? Baseband? Is it activated? cydia/icy?

Roger - on it.

Did not update baseband.
installed Cydia/Ice and it's activated.
