iPhone 2.0.1 OS update problems

The iPhone 2.0.1 OS promises to improve overall iPhone functionality, but there are reports coming in that indicate that some users are experiencing problems while trying to update their iPhones. Most notably, users updating their iPhone to the iPhone 2.0.1 OS with Airplane Mode enabled (which turns off all communication radios) have been experiencing problems - some have ended up with iBricks in the process. iPhone Atlas has put together a few hints that should ensure that your iPhone 2.0.1 OS update goes smoothly:

• Ensure Airplane Mode is disabled - in other words, make sure the Airplane Mode toggle switch is set to “OFF”
• Connect iPhone directly to USB port and avoid using a USB hub
• “Restore” any iPhones that fail to update correctly, as opposed to a simple “Update”
• Delete the iPhone 2.0.1 OS file as it may be corrupt and causing update problems
  
  • Search for “.ipsw” and delete the appropriate file
    
• Reinstall iTunes
• Put iPhone in to Recovery Mode and Restore
