Question by crazybeautiful0313: If i update my unlocked iphone software will it brick my phone?
I just bought a used iphone 2g that is unlocked. It currently has the 1.1.4 software version. Itunes wants me to update it to the 3.1.2 software version. If I do this is it going to brick my phone? Also when i plug my iphone in to my computer the applications tab isn’t showing up when I click on the iphone device. Could this be because the iphone software is so old?

yah its probably because your software is old.
if you update your iphone you will lose the jailbreak and unlock so yeah you will brick your phone because it’ll ask you to activate it…and i’m assuming you’re using tmobile.
You could update it and get someone to unlock and jailbreak it for you for the new 3.1.2 firmware.
