iPhone could not be restored
Jailbreaking my old iPhone 2G (Edge version). It was a bit hard to find software that would still allow me to jailbreak this 2G. Soooow, I mirrored all I used. Bootloader: 3.9 or 4.6 PwnageTool: 3.1.5 Be aware: you will need iTunes 9 (or 8, I guess) — iTunes 10 gives an error: “iPhone could…
