Virginise 2G iPhone 2G to use legit with O2 SIM only contract
I have an unlocked jailbroken iphone.
My local O2 store confirms that I can take out a SIM only contract, and put it in the iPhone. I had assumed that I would virginise it before putting it in my iPhone, and that it would then be a fully "legit", locked not-jailbroken iPhone, able to upgrade to ver 2 firmware via iTunes etc. However, the O2 store says not so, once unlocked always unlocked, and that even with an O2 SIM I will have to use unofficial unlock/jailbreaks to go to firmware 2 (when available) I think I have seen posts contradicting this, but can't find them again. Anyone know what the facts are? Thanks very much for any help Mike |

best option would be huck up to pc open iTunes and Restore (not update RESTORE)
cant comment if it will remain as a unlocked phone or not but if you update to 2.0 it should nock anything before it off as it has to reinstall from scratch as it uses new frameworks |

Sounds encouraging. My main concern is that I used Ziphone to unlock/jailbreak and seems that this puts the bootloader to 3.9 from 4.6, unlike pwnage. Though at least one person said he had used Ziphone and it had worked. Anyway if I do a virginise does it wipe out previous versions of bootloader? It seems that I could put bootloader back to 4.6 with pwnage if I had to. Thanks again Mike |
