The iPhone 3G will not go on sale until tomorrow and version 2.0 software isn’t yet available for “old school” iPhones either. Apple has still decided to move forward and release iTunes 7.7 complete with a live AppStore. Look but don’t touch! Wait a minute? What’s that? Uh oh, it looks like original iPhone owners are in for a treat as we’ve just received word the the 2.0 firmware is now live and available for download. Well we received word and a download link, that is. If you’ve decided to hold on to your OG iPhone, for nostalgia’s sake perhaps, it’s your lucky day. Hit the read link before Apple’s servers get hosed and start enjoying all of that exchange-rocking, legal app-supporting goodness right away.

    Update iTunes to 7.7 first. Open iTunes, plug in your iPhone … hold down “shift” and hit “Check for Update,” manually find the file and let it take over!

    Andrew: If you’re serious, then you go into itunes, Where it says “Check for Updates” for your iphone, SHIFT and click on that button. It will ask you where the software is. Just tell it where that file is that you downloaded, and it will update with that file.

    And I’m not being sarcastic about the “are you serious.” Just folks get on here and ask questions that most of us know the answer to just to be funny, so I never know if it’s a real question or not! So please don’t take offense. It’s very easy to do. Good luck!

    will this work to update an ipod touch as well–or does that require a different file?

    Just loaded firmware 2.0 on my Oldschool iPhone. Having trouble using the apps store. I think I might just have forgotten what the password was (created an itunes account when I bought the iPhone and haven’t purchased a thing). I’m waiting for a password reset e-mail to see if that clarifies it.

    Apparently, I can’t type today and I’m rocking my MBP at work (leaving for the shore house ASAP after I’m done here).

    Anyway, to load up 2.0:
    1.) Download the 2.0 ipsw file
    2.) Download and install iTunes 7.7
    3.) Backup your iPhone
    4.) hold down “option” and then click “Check for Updates”
    5.) Select the ipsw file in the dialog box
    6.) Restore your data from the backup

    Winblows users may get a .zip file - just rename it to .ipsw. Also your key is “shift” instead of “option”

    That’s it.

    I can’t find the ipsw file after I d/l the 2.0 f/w. It states it in the initial d/l but then when the d/l is complete, it turns into a folder and I can’t rename it to ipsw. Thoughts?
    mac BTW
