Thank You Thomas Carter! No...er...wait...iPhone Dev Team!

More info here. Hunter - don't panic. Smooth sailing ahead. :) Basically - don't take the easy path. It's all pretty pictures but doesn't always work. Well it didn't work for me. After I took the expert route it all clicked.

Check out the very useful comments by Frederick231 in the comments section here. I had used Zibri's Ziphone hack up until 1.1.4 (this morning). There were some warnings on his page about upgrading. The iPhone Dev Team's comments section removed that concern.

Instructions start off by upgrading to official Apple 2.0 software. This will lock (but doesn't brick) your phone. By the time it was finished I was able to re-sync and recover all settings, music, photos, etc.

Earlier 3rd party apps and games are gone. The one really useful tool: "Search" by Polar Bear Farms - has been replaced by actual functionality.

1Gen iPhones only (for now).

Mac only (for now).
