I just updated my 3g jailbroken 2.1 to 2.2 and my phone back to the original setting (unjailbroken)
So far everything is OK.. i guess just need to wait till the iPhone Dev Team to release the latest version of their Pwnage Tool which can hack iPhone firmware 2.2.

-
Utterly useless update. This is all they give? GO iphone dev team! You rock!

Hello, one question came to mind.... I got my iPhone 2G last year and hadit unlocked to use with my local carrier in mexico Telcel, and i've been updating/unlocking with every update to date, this year my local carrier has iPhone service available so it came to mind the question, "should i keep updating with the unlock feature, or could i just update from iTunes normally?", I'd appreciate if someone can ilustrate me... thanks

I am having the same issue with the App Store and I have not updated to 2.2, so I don't think it has anything to do with the update.
Maybe Apple temporarily disabled this feature while their servers are being overwhelmed with downloads of 2.2.

scott just cleared what i was going to ask good thing i didnt updated my iphone, hopefully dev team would bring soft. method to 3g users soon, cant wait

Yeah the App Store Update timeout is also an issue with 2.1 so I would say it's the servers, installing apps works fine.
-
i just updated to 2.2, but for some reason the "street view" feature in google maps does not work. is there something special i need to do to activate it? or does it only work on the the iphone 3G?
-

updated to test some stuff, it seems if you have boss prefs running on jb iphone, and you have hidden icons, the icons stay hidden after update
-
So I'm not updating until dev releases new jailbreak, but has anyone checked out the maps walking directions? Does it actually give you walking directions like cutting through fields and what not? Does it know where you can and can't walk through? Is it simply the shortest route (cutting through the yards of houses)? Can't wait until I can update!
-
So nothing really useful, eh?
No copy-paste
No wide emailWhat a crap
-
Wi-Fi not working for too! Very frustrating!

Hi my iphone is working fantastic & so smooth with 2.2,
The only problem I had was trying to update in xp. I tried it so many times I gave up! I then did it on my macbook and it worked 1st time. I work for panasonic and if I restore on a mac previously it wouldnt connect to our home cinema ipod dock so I had to use windows. But on 2.2 mac formatted it now works. -
I can finally update apps on the iphone without having to uninstall them first! Thank you Apple!!!
BTW, for 2.1 I had to restore several times (4 in fact) to actually get it to work - it seems that its like a heatsink in that you have to have several goes before it actually sits properly. Odd, but perhaps worth a go for those of you who are finding that promised functionality is not working might like to give that a go
-
Not sure if this has been reported but Bluetooth Phone book Sync now works again.....
That for me makes the update worth it alone.

Just updated then Jailbroke 3G Iphone. settings icon missing and no cydia or installer.

Do NOT upgrade to v2.2 if you are using a TURBO SIM to use the 3G on networks other than AT&T. Firmware v2.2 disables the TURBO SIM. I have 3 different ones and NONE work anymore. Even reverting back to Firmware 2.2 didn't help. V 2.2 updated the baseband and it appears that doesn't roll back with a restore??
Thanks Apple. I thought you were better than that.

Hi 2 all. I had iPhone 3g v.2.1 with Turbo-Sim and upgrade it to v.2.2, so my phone say next "emergency call only". Who can help me????

Based on your observation and other reader comments it appears that Apple has broken the hardware method to unlock iPhone 3G with Firmware 2.2.
