What the hell, I'm trying it now. I haven't unlocked my SIM but I have AppTapp installed and a number of applications, including SummerBoard. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yes, please let me know what happens; I've got AppTapp installed.
Please do! I don't want a worthless att contract ...
Oops, it's probably best that I reply to my original post. I got the dreaded "unknown error" when attempting to install the software right off the bat. Maybe undoing jailbreak would have averted that problem, but what's done is done. Now I am having to use the iTunes Restore Phone feature. Looks like I'll be losing my apps and my data. No big deal to me, really, but beware. I'll post again when I'm up and running with 1.1.1.
Now I'm back in action. Lost apps and data. Had to reenter my voicemail password.
Interestingly, I have a new icon next to the standard BlueTooth blue icon---it's in the shape of my bluetooth headset. Looks to be a batter meter. Nice.
Now I'm syncing my photos, music, calendar, etc. It's going to take awhile, so I'll wrap it up here. Bottom line, if you've done a jailbreak, be prepared to start from scratch. It would be nice if someone could un-jailbreak the phone and see if that prevents us from having to reinstall everything.
Can't you use iNdependence to return to the jail?
Well, indeed, I hope that is the case. Despite being reasonably savvy technically I haven't tried to be too ambitious with my iPhone, so I only used Installer.app once they came out with an all-in-one package to install it. Hence I really don't appreciate everything that jailbreak does or what its consequences are.
Anyway, I'm synced up and ready to rumble, so I'm not sweating it. Really what I've lost are my third-party apps, and that isn't the end of the world.
Just for the record, my iPhone is not unlocked, no 3rd party apps and I too got the "Unknown Error" when applying the patch and had to restore. That said, the restore went beautifully and it automatically put back all my settings.
Anyone with AppTapp:
Either reset your iPhone to original settings or DON'T install the new update. My clock no longer opens, I can't access Sounds in Settings, All of my loved AppTapp stuff is gone (I'll especially miss the GPS), My ringtones from iTOner don't work and the software no longer works.
You've been warned!
