Update iPhone to 1.0.2 By iBrickr 0.7
August 26th, 2007
Here’s what has been changed in this release, confirmed by the community on iPhone Dev Wiki.
Fixes / New Features
- Able to scroll to bottom of page and load sections of page while loading in safari.
- Safari is quicker to load.
- WIFI speeds increased. Some reporting 1.5 to 2.0.
- Louder iPod volume through earphones
- Shorter bottom safari bar in landscape mode
- Titles in safari do not block the close button in landscape mode
- Improvements in camera’s live video update.
I’ve done the upgrade on my iphone through iTunes and iBrickr (0.7). And i can confirm the following things:
1. Prepatched lockdownd still works;
2. Hacked phones CAN NOT “Backup” from previous sync.
One thing I should point out is that iBrickr by default will NOT install dropbear, the SSH server which you may need to connect to iphone via PuTTY or WinSCP. Fortunately iBrickr does provide a very easy way to do that: use PXL demaon.
Connect iphone with your computer and launch ibrickr. Choose ‘Applications‘ and then ‘Browse applications..‘, click ‘Dropbear v0.49‘ and after about 30 seconds, you are done.
Same way I’ve installed ‘Books v0.7‘ and ‘Mobile Terminal VT100 vsvn161′. Pretty easy and cool.
It would be perfect if the later iBrckr could run some native apps like ’screenshot’ directly, other than for now I have to use PuTTY or WinSCP to do that.
Update: 2. Hacked phones CAN NOT “Backup” from previous sync.
Read comments for details. And thanks to NetMage for the clarification.

I’m not sure what you mean by “Hacked phone CAN NOT ‘Backup’ from previous sync’ but if you mean you can’t restore a previously made backup from a hacked phone, that’s not true.
After upgrading the firmware, a PC reboot and then a restore will work fine.

First, thanks for the comment. The point “Hacked phone CAN NOT ‘Backup’ from previous sync” is from Dev Wiki on unconfirmed list. For what it means, i guess we two have the same understanding, or we won’t discuss further as below.
My question is : did your restore completely bring back everything, like the photos,videos,music etc previously in the iphone?
For me, the answer is : not exactly. Even if some did restore successfully, like the notes, but my photos, songs were all gone.
And i didn’t reboot my pc, btw.

The backup does not include some of the items that can be synced - photos, video, music (not sure about calendar).
It did restore my recent calls, notes, weather preferences, bookmarks.
Since I synced before restoring, I just synced again after restoring.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article iPhone to 1.0.2 By iBrickr 0.7 | Cui - On My Way, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
