Firmware 2.2 Released: More Info…

November 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments · Apple, iPhone

Alright guys, yet again, we’ve called it! As we had reported earlier, firmware 2.2 was released as a midnight release at exactly 12:00 am Pacific, 2:00am Central Time. This is particularly strange, Apple usually releases firmware at 10am Pacific time, but I guess they were really anxious to get this out. One of my friends and readers asked me why I had said 10am today if it was going to be released at midnight, well, I’m sorry, but that was the information that I had and it actually was a surprise to all of us, so sorry about that.

Anyways, we here at Limited Edition iPhone cannot give a review of iPhone OS 2.2 as of yet due to the fact that we have not updated yet.

NOTE: All iPhone 3G users, if you ever want an unlock, then I suggest not updating your firmware, or you may never have an unlocked iPhone 3G. The iPhone Dev Team is very close to a full soft-unlock. As for 1st Generation iPhone and iPod touch users, if you are jailbroken or unlocked, I am also issuing another warning, DO NOT UPDATE or you WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

As for me and the rest of the iPod touch 2nd generation users, I suggest updating to iPhone OS 2.2, a jailbreak isn’t too difficult to achieve on different firmware. A downgrade is in the works, so don’t freak out, we will have a jailbreak as soon as the iPhone 3G is unlocked. .

Please stay tuned in with us here at Limited Edition iPhone for all of the iPhone OS 2.2 news and much much more…

    Wtf? Are you saying that if I upgrade my iPod touch to the OFFICIAL 2.2 firmware, it’ll get bricked?
    Holy shit I nearly bricked my iPod touch.. Good thing I was capped and couldn’t download the 200mb+ file =D

    Yes, that is true. I updated my iPod touch 2G because there is no jailbreak and I believe that there will be more vulnerabilities in 2.2.

    Yeah good thing. πŸ˜€ 245.7 mb downloaded (on the PC that I used to update, not mine) it downloaded in like 5 minutes, then it took like 2 minutes to install it. I did it at like 12:30pm because I knew that there would be no way to download it when I got home. πŸ˜€

    New articles on the way!
