Uh-oh, it look like it's not just the underground unlockers who're having problems with the iPhone 2.0.1 update's revisions to the 3G's baseband -- Vodafone customers who've paid to have their handsets unlocked are starting to report failures to connect to iTunes followed by the appearance of an "0xE8000001" error code. There are also reports from a handful of other carriers, but Voda's selling Steve's baby in 10 countries, so most of the complaints are from its customers. Other than that, there are some isolated reports of brickage, but we've mostly heard good things about 2.0.1, and our iPhones are definitely feeling a little better -- how about you?[Via TUAW]
i updated my 3g last night and it gave me error 1604. i was freaked out but after trying and trying and trying (like 6 times) i was able to restore...fiuuu!
Made mine catch fire!!!! They are sending me out a new one! WOW!
The carrier's name is Vodafone.
Vodaphone...lol.
awwwwww....
HAHAHAH...thanks Apple for providing yet more laughter about your fails.
I have had Optus (Australia) unlock mine, and ever since this update it tells me there is a Carrier update, but gives that error code when I try to install it. The phone works fine with my Optus SIM, but I haven't yet tested it with my partner's Vodafone SIM. We'll see how that goes...
