So it’s about time to upgrade to 2.0.2. I ripped a DVD and put it on the iPhone (thanks to handbrake!) and it was suprizingly easy. But it took a while to encode so I had plenty of time to do an upgrade.
First step was to download the update . . . over 200 MB!!! That’s going to take a while . . . .
Okay, now it has to backup the iPhone. I get a progress bar from hell that just keeps scrolling by. After that’s done, another useless progress bar saying it’s extracting the files or something. Next another annoying progress bar to say that it’s “Prepping the iPhone for an upgrade”. On and on and on. Probably more than 5 different progress bars.
After all that it couldn’t install the software (my USB ports are flaky) so it was in “Restore mode” and I had to do the entire process all over again (well, at least I didn’t have to download the update). Lucky that it backed up the iPhone because everything was wiped out after the restore. But I did get back all the apps I downloaded as well as the addressbook. But I did loose all the music and video so I had to sync all that back up.
Two hours later . . . finally done.
