Take it into the apple store if you have one near, a couple hours out of your time but otherwise, free. No stress needed. – Scott Fleckenstein, on July 22, 2008 03:56

fuuuuuuuuuc..................kkk My iphone is now rendered useless. After running iphone 2.0 update But i had an error I cannot restore to 1.1.4 I get the same error (20). I cannot find a method to downgrade it's something about baseband upgrade incompatible. HELP? fuck fuck fuck

hi Sheim,
the thing is that you are getting that itunes error because you havent removed itunes completly first you have to go to ur usic folder if you are using mac and rename the folder name or move it to trash and if you are using windows then go to my music folder in my documents and do the same thing rename or delete the folder and then do the process which i told before
gudluck lol

Well, I had to bring mine into the apple store today, and they replaced it free of charge, even a couple weeks outside of warranty.

Good job Apple!

Answer to your question you need to delete the 7.7 version of the itunes library under you /usr/you/library/itunes, don't forget to rename your itunes folder under the music folder. I have Jail broken iphone (original) too, and I have yet to successfully downgrade to a firmware version lower than 2.0. I even tried using both versions of version 2.0 ispw files , I you cant even restore using 7.7 again remember this is a difference between Restore mode and DFU mode, I believe the combination of correct firmware boot loader portion of firmware which is black screen state of the device would be the less progmatic recovery mode, I have no problem fully restoring the device back to version 2.0 but cannot activate it as I am not and AT&T customer. Hence I just might have to wait a few more days till the guys at iphone-dev.org to release their Version 2.0 PwnageTool hope this helps, but I think apple have really done a number on behalf of AT&T as part of their original deal with profit sharing etc! (this is a guess) to get people to register more original hand sets on the AT&T network, dispite known how important the jail broken devices a led to the success of apple breaking the mobile device market. Props to iPhone Dev Team! Wooot! – mossy, on July 13, 2008 21:45

Hi W86k, does this apply to a jailbroken phone as well, my phone is completely dead i don't even get the connect itunes image.

When i connect my phone i get the message "the file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.

I wish i knew what that meant but i think it is because i am trying to connect my upgraded phone to itunes 7.5?

Can any body help?

uninstall itunes 7.7 and install itunes 7.5 then once you have done that download 1.1.4 firmware for your iphone.
put your iphone in DFU mode by doing that follow these stepsThis is how to achieve DFU mode. You can do it on every phone:

* Attach the phone to the pc
* Turn the phone off
* Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
* Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
* At no point will the display come on. Now your restore should work.
then go back to itunes n hold SHIFT n click restore and open the 1.1.4 restore firmware
and it will be fixed in the end
but unfortunately be 1.1.4 firmware not 2.0 :( – iphoneknowitall, on July 13, 2008 10:49
