I hope people will read these new stickies in the forum and do not assume anything.

We've tried to give people plenty of warnings ... Sigh ...

Looks like apple have a caught a load of people out on this, mission accomplished in their eyes :/

I hope so too, but unfortunately I already have seen the "I accidentally upgraded my iPhone" kind of threads

Loads of em over in intense debate on DTB

friend of mines upgrade hers to 2.2.1 unlock dead all the appstor App Crashing aswell i have it here with me to fix may as well park it

The only fix is as/when dev team finds a new exploit...

yellowsn0w is toggling airplane mode. When it does this, WiFi does not return.
So, every time I power the phone down, or toggle airplane mode, the WiFi does not come back. This means that if I need to SSH into the phone because it's stuck on logo, I won't be able to because there's no WiFi.

I suspect 0.9.8 will be out very soon.

iMark, you running 2.2?

Have you tried the Reset Network Options erm, option...

I have the wifi issue too with 097 on 2.2. I replied it on the wifi and 097 issue thread. Simply, I did reinstall the YLSW then boom so far is okay for about an hour but I noticed the speed to get the wifi signal slightly slower ( it takes about 5 second to get the signal) than on 096.

Hi guys, I've been reading all the great posts here for a while and this is my first post so I hope I can be of some help.

Yellowsnow: 100% so far
Original Carrier: Rogers Wireless (Canada)

Carriers tested running Yellowsnow 0.97:
Rogers (Everything working 100% including 3G and Edge using my data plan)
Fido (Everything seems fine so far using main phone features. Did not try 3G or Edge since the sim card has no data plan)

I wrote a rushed tutorial of what I did (for advanced users only):

Equipment/Software Used:
3G iPhone 2.2 (5G77) (Jailbroken on Pwnage Tool, Rogers Wireless Carrier activated/unlocked legit)
Computer: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (an Older Mac which I bought just for Unlocking my iPhone)
iTunes 8.0.2. (20)
Pwnage 2.2.5 and bootloaders
3G iPhone firmware 2.2 (5G77) (iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw)
3G iPhone firmware 2.2.1 (5H11) (iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw)

iPhone 3G Unlock Procedure:

1. Put in any non-activated/dead SIM card or just take the SIM card out of the iPhone altogether (in this case I used an AT&T Sim that came with my 1st Generation iPhone.)

2. In iTunes, do a "Restore" (hold the alt-button on keyboard while hitting "Restore" in iTunes) to the 2.2 (5G77) firmware (not the new 2.2.1 firmware) to clean out your phone from previous jailbreaks or just to have a fresh start. Remember for the restore to work correctly, your iphone must already be on firmware 2.2 (5G77) or older for a clean restore to 2.2 (5G77) to get the baseband 02.28.00 for the Yellowsnow Unlock.

3. Open Pwnage Tool 2.2.5, choose advanced, click the 3G iPhone, choose the NEW firmware 2.2.1 (5H11) (iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw). Then in the General section make sure "baseband update" is disabled and unchecked (mine was greyed out)to keep your 02.28.00 baseband. Also make sure "activate iPhone" is checked (as this is a must, for non-official carrier activation which is what your iPhone will be when it is eventually unlocked later on in this section). Next, change your boot logos if you want, otherwise hit the checkmark to Continue and build your new firmware. Follow the rest of directions.

4. Restore the new custom firmware you just made in iTunes.

5. Once iTunes is finished, you'll have no carrier but you'll be activated so you can use the iPhone. Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Settings.

6. Connect to your Wifi in Settings and set Auto-Lock in the General Section to "Never".

7. Open Cydia, install "BossTools" to free up main drive space. Run Bosstools, and make sure you move everything it lists (usually there is only 1 option left to move).

8. Open Cydia, uninstall "BossTools"

9. Open Cydia, install Yellowsnow 0.97

10. Power off iPhone. Take out non-activated/dead SIM card (if any) and put in the SIM card you wish to use.

11. Power On iPhone.

12. Reset settings again (Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Settings) and you're good to go!

Now you can continue to add all your regular Cydia stuff. I started with SB Settings so I can easily control Wifi, 3G and Edge Settings.
