iPhone firmware 2.0.1 has been out for a few days now and sports a good amount of bugfixes. One espicially good fix is the keyboard lag that many people experienced in firmware 2.0. Well this new firmware should fix that problem.
Here is how to get to firmware 2.0.1 using windows on a 1st generation iPhone.
Files Needed:
- WinPwn 2.0.0.4
- Bootloader 3.6 & 4.6 Files
- iPhone Firmware 2.0.1
Step 1: Launch WinPwn and click the Browse .ipsw button. Select the firmware 2.0.1 you downloaded above.
Step 2: Once this is done, click the IPSW Builder button. Choose the settings you want in the window that appears.
Step 3: Once you have all the settings you want click the Build .ipsw and select where you want to save the new custom firmware. Now the custom firmware will be built, this may take a few minutes.
Step 4: Once the custom firmware is done, click the iPwner button. It will ask you for the custom firmware file so choose that file once it asks.
Step 5: Once your firmware is Pwned, Put your iPhone into DFU mode. To do so:
- Press and hold the Home and Sleep Button together
- Once the screen turns off, wait for 2 seconds and let go off the sleep button
- Keep holding the Home button until your PC recognizes the iPhone in DFU mode.
Step 6: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find the custom IPSW Firmware file you created.
Step 7: The restore will start. You should see bootneuter automatically come up and run once the process is complete.
Enjoy your newly updated iPhone & don’t forget to drop us a line if you found this helpful

It’s only worth it if you have many bugs or other problems with 2.0. There’s nothing new so you can stick on 2.0 until you have to restore.

Hi,
I have got a way of saving all of your Cydia applications and putting them ALL back right after you restore; saving you the trouble of finding all of your apps again.
First you want to get a list of all the installed apps and libraries
cydia has installed for you:
“A=`dpkg -l | awk ‘{print $2}’`; echo $A”
Take this list, remove any information about failed installs (should there be any information there will only be a few words to remove) and then remove the word ‘firmware’ from the list. Store the list somewhere safe (Text document on your Desktop).
You then want to back up the /etc/apt folder (You will put it back later).
Install new firmware.
Replace your /etc/apt folder with your backup.
SSH to your phone:
To download a list of all the available packages from various places run “apt-get update”
Finally you need to run “apt-get install PACKAGE_LIST” (Package list being the contents of the document you saved earlier).
**Should you encounter any conflicts (Fairly rare) then you must decide which of the apps you do not want (The conflicting apps will be listed)**
It should then go off and download all the applications and then install them one at a time. Takes a while to do this, but you can leave it to do its thing for 10 minutes or so. Once this is done, you need to force a re-spring:
“killall SringBoard”
***DONE***
Don’t forget to remove all the quotes (If you copy/paste).
I KNOW this works as I have done this numerous times! I hope you find this helpful! If you have any problems feel free to post back here and I’ll help you out. Please post back with success stories aswell as it’s the only way to make this more widely known.
Thanks,
Wijman & Milamber3
