I’m usually not interested in betas, but I’m boring today, so I decided to give 2.0.5A240d a try and see if there’s interesting changes in it. So I restored with iTunes then activated it. Since I’m not interested in using it, so I just looked around trying to find out what’s new, the following is what I found:
Better Chinese Support
In old versions, when you switch to Chinese, you won’t notice any differences in GUI until you put the Chinese resource files into proper folder. But in 2.0 these resource files are bundled, when I try switching to Chinese, the SpringBoard and related settings immediately switch to new language.
MobileMail
In 2.0, MobileMail seems supporting more encodings. In old versions, it always uses UTF-8 encoding, so some mails written in other encodings (e.g. GB2312) are not readable, this has changed in 2.0. Now MobileMail correctly detects my GB2312-encoded mails.
SIM Contacts
Now you can import contacts from SIM into iPhone, but there seems no export function. The import function is in Settings -> Phone.
Parent Control
There’s a new item in Settings -> General, the Parent Control. You can control iTunes, Safari, YouTube, iTuneStore and App Store.
Others
There’re some minor changes in Settings.
2.0版固件的改进及新增功能
今天闲来无事，决定试试新版的固件（尽管拿到手很久了，但是从来没有兴趣装，因为对Beta版不是特别感兴趣）。虽然2.0版固件迄今还没有正式发布，不过从内部测试版本通常也能看出一些发展趋势来，于是立即动手把机器升级到了2.0版，因为没打算实际使用，所以仅仅随便看了看，连解锁都没有进行，只是看了看SpringBoard部分，不过还是让我看到了一些让人感到高兴的改进。
改进一: 多语言环境
在之前的版本中，即使切换了语言环境，仍然需要自行提供相应的语言包，才能在SpringBoard等处看到中文。在2.0中，资源文件已经随带了，一旦切换语言环境，相应的菜单，界面等立即同时切换语言，这下彻底省去了所谓的“汉化”工作了，相信不少人会感到非常高兴。
改进二: 邮件程序
之前版本的MobileMail在读取邮件时都是使用UTF-8识别邮件编码的，因此对于使用其他编码的邮件往往显示乱码，相信国人对GB2312中文乱码邮件一定不陌生。而在2.0中，这个问题似乎已经解决了，现在终于可以自动正确识别出编码了，GB2312中文邮件显示不再是让人头痛的问题。
改进三: 联系人
在2.0版固件的电话设置部分多了一个功能，就是将SIM卡联系人导入iPhone，再也不需要专门的软件来导入了，不过没有看到导出联系人到SIM卡的功能。
改进四: 家长控制
现在多出来一个家长控制配置，老外好像特别关心孩子，很多软件都有家长控制这个功能。
2.0或许还有其他的重要改进，不过我不是很关心，所以也就不再继续钻研了，相信等正式版出来一定会有惊喜的。

你好,我的IPHONE在是原生1.1.3,升级到1.1.4不降BL破解的,在原生BL4.6状态下用BootNeuter,半途以为有问题就强行退出了,造成除了有液晶型号外什么都没有的症状,用ITUNES刷什么版本都是1011错误,不能用任何软件去降级BL.
when i run sping it just says ‘Your bootloader isn’t fakeblanked.’
ok after running bbupdater -v
it says the following:
Resetting target…
pinging baseband…
baseband unresponsive to pinging
Done
麻烦你了,我现在怎么办?不想拆机用A17的方法破,有其它办法么?
iPhone DevTeam的MuscleNerd说:
your situation is a little different, yours looks like an invalid baseband that even the bootloader has determined isn’t safe to run. You can get past the 1011 restore screen by using iNdependence or ibooter or iphuc etc. And then run geohot’s ienew eraser program to erase the baseband completely and use bbupdater to flash valid fls files.
不太明白,而且我在1.1.4下执行IENEW,提示WAIT DATE就不动了
George, you’re saving for a MacBookPro, you have 200$ (US$ ?) in your “pot” ; how much is a MBP in China ? (check my website, I’ve put the screen people in Middle East (Muslim countries) are getting when trying to visit your site, because there is LOTTO as part of your name/websitename, and LOTTO is gambling = not allowed over there …
@麒骥, I think musclenerd has descrbied clearly enough, if you need an explanation on his words, here it is:
I have no idea about your ’stuck at ienew’ issue as I didn’t use it.
i want to download this firmware where is the link for download
thanks
