Updating iPhone 2G firmware 3.0

I know, my iPhone 2G is viejillo, and I’m the new 3GS, but meanwhile I decided to try to see how’s my iPhone with the new firmware. In addition, there were many AppStore applications that I could not install or I stop working to update them, so I started searching with Google that it had gone to people in iPhoneHeat update and found a tutorial very simple to update. So then you translate the steps that should be given and the way I describe my impressions.

INITIAL WARNINGS:

You must have a backup of phone contents (photos, contacts, messages …) and that this process will erase

You must have iTunes 8.2 installed

Before beginning the process, reading the different steps are going to implement.

Step 1. Preparation

The first is to download files and applications are going to need during the process:

Redsn0w. The application need to patch the firmware, perform the jailbreak and unlock the phone. What you can download any of these links: Mirror1, Mirror2 or Mirror3. What I bajaréis be a compressed file, once downloaded, descomprimidlo in a separate folder.

Basebands 3.9 and 4.6. These files the request redsn0w during the process. Links: 3.9, 4.6

3.0 firmware image. Here you can find it.

Step 2. Upgrade to firmware 3.0

Connect the iPhone and start iTunes. Select the device in the left pane and click the “Restore” button while pressing the SHIFT roofing / CAPS. Doing so will display a dialog to select the image file you want to use the sign the Agreement, is the last file you undertake in step 1 (a file with. Ipsw). Once selected will begin the upgrade process, it will take a while (do not worry) after which the phone will be like when did you get out of its box, waiting to be activated.

Step 3. Jailbreak, Unlock and Activation

Run the file that you downloaded RedSn0w.exe compressed in step 1. This program will launch a small wizard that will guide you through the various steps in the unlocking process.

Step 3.1 Provide the firmware image. Select the file. Ipsw already used in Step 2.

Step 3.2 unlock options. Select Unlock and Cydia (an alternative application installer, unofficial, the AppStore.

Step 3.3 Provide the files with the basebands. Select the files for 3.9 and 4.6 That basebands bajasteis you in step 1.

Step 3.4 Put the iPhone into DFU mode. By giving the button “Next>” start the prompts to start the DFU mode. My advice is that it conectéis mobile to the computer via cable directly and not with the media, as this will be easier to implement the key combination to do. If all attempts have failed to put it in DFU mode first, do not be afraid, give it a “<Back” and return to try, I went to the second and nothing happened.

Step Execution Process 3.5. There, now the software will update the firmware, patch it and unlock it, it takes a little bit, be patient it is done.

This process installs the firmware 3.0.0, but not the final version, if someone dares to make the process with firmware 3.0.1, we discuss how she’s gone.

Smarthphones the market has experienced a boom since the phenomenon has been the iPhone, which is why more and more companies join the trend and this is the case with Dell that sooner rather than later presented in partnership with China Mobile (higher Eastern mobile operator in the country) smartphone Dell Mini 3i.

Features

The Dell Mini 3i is a 2G phone lacks Wi-Fi running on an operating system based on the Android and developed by Open Mobile System (OMS). Looking to the facilities and presentations to the user, the Dell Mini 3i has 3.5pulgadas touchscreen, SD card, mini USB and 3.2 megapixel digital camera. Still to know some details about the price and will have no connectivity or GPS.

Market introduction strategy

And the description so we can move on to more interesting, Dell’s strategy, why not launch it in China and some other country?

Dell is known for his failures when trying to leave his main line of business (rather unknown products), attempt to draw market share of mp3 players, but did anyone even notice the attempt?, And Dell just does not want to repeat it.

Go to China is better than going to Europe or in the worst case to United States, already an overcrowded market of smartphones in the mastering and compete strongly RIM, Palm, HTC and Apple. In China, the situation is different and none of the above managed to have dominant or strong, in a nutshell Dell has opened its open road in China and comes mounted on an agreement with a mobile service provider that “only” has over 430 million subscribers, a figure much larger than the entire U.S. market with by far, we are talking about 265 million distributed among the different services.

In short Dell has gone to where I had to go, to capture market share almost a giant ocean blue, letting others wear in the water red as competitive U.S. market.

I hope Dell has more luck with this endeavor, because although they are not the best in quality if they are the best in low prices and that like in the Chinese market, so I hope because I believe Dell is focusing a lot on the line of Notebooks and sooner or later nobody will remember, are a hybrid, something midway that serves no good for work, nor is it entirely comfortably portable, the market is moving toward small, internet phones and text editors, yet Otherwise also, this is what we want.

RIM has released its new supplement for the improvement of our devices in Google Mail … from the improvements we are able to:

  • Add or remove labels and stars in our emails.
  • Report Spam mails.
  • Archiving emails.
  • See related post as conversacions

For installation must reapply the service books, and the associated gmail account comes with an email link to download this plugin (plugin) or at the end of this post is the OTA link …

At this time mietras post this picture and I finished installing the Blackberry this amazingly slow, but I guess you are doing something like the more than 5000 emails in my inbox .. I will even give you time while you try ….

Translate words, phrases, as well as emails from the Blackberry browser or tipi directly into the software, the translator for BlackBerry NAVITAS currently supports:

  • English
  • Portuguese

  • BlackBerry Curve (8300, 8310);
  • BlackBerry ® 8800;
  • BlackBerry Bold (9000);
  • BlackBerry Javelin (8900);

Although I did not expect much to say, It would be justice!. Since almost all operating systems with its application (Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone etc. ..) to Symbian s60v5 (Nokia touchscreen), and as you might for Symbian s60v3 (Nokia without touchscreen) there is no implementation. Finally, the application is still under development and will be launched by a third. For more information, please visit

Now we approach the new version of the BlackBerry operating system, which in addition to the improvements we are waiting with anxiety and from the browser to improvements in the use of GPS in the form of multimedia files and save up to one new integrated search engine … the geek detail includes Google Gears! thus we can still browse sites offline for many of our accounts or Gmail;)
