Sorry, I should have specified, I did enter recovery mode, then tried to option-restore to 1.1.4. It attempts to extract the software and then gives me this error after: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)."
I'm wondering if I should just set this up as a new iPhone and just redo all the settings? The only thing would be recovering my Notes file I suppose.
I think you are missing a step. Try using ZiPhone or another jail breaking app to put the phone into Recovery Mode via the GUI, and not some complex button manipulation with the iPhone itself.

I got my iPhone working again with 1.1.4, I lost all of my contacts and photos, no backups .
So I might as well mess around with it now. Do I need iTunes 7.7.0 to make this work? Initially I used 7.6.2 and I got an error message during the upgrade to the 2.0 software. Any ideas?
All I have to do is save the file, then go to my phone when iTunes is open, Shift+Click on check for updates, and find the update file where I saved it and go.

Installed firmware 2.0 this morn...all seemed smooth until i noticed it would no longer connect to my uConnect hands free setup in my 08 Dodge RAM 2500, non-Mygig stereo. Previous 1.1.4 worked flawlessly. Its says paired, but the bluetooth icon does not highlight anymore, and it does not say 'connected' like before....
Anyone else noticed any bluetooth/handsfree pairing problems???
I've tried re-pairing from scratch about 4 times, using different PIN #s, to no avail.
Pairing will complete, but the phone no longer connects. =(
I'm hoping to score a 3G tomorrow, so we'll see if the same is true?
For whatever reason, I can't restore to 1.1.4 from recovery mode (regardless of the method that I put the phone into recovery mode).
Is this a 7.7 thing? Would it disallow downgrading an iPhone to an earlier firmware than 2.0?
And mostly, I'm wondering if anyone has a theory as to why upgrading to 2.0 is fine but trying to restore my backup settings creates that weird freezing problem on start-up for the phone itself.

What? So you can get v2.0 on there, but your problem is restoring your previous media setup from 1.1.4? In that case, just forget about that restore option, add your media/data files from scratch. there are a lot of options to choose from.

The original problem was stated earlier in the thread:
I can upgrade to 2.0 fine. But when I try to restore to backup, the iphone goes through the motions and upon reboot, it stalls on the loading screen.
For whatever reason, 2.0 doesn't seem to like my backup settings. The advice given me was to restore down to 1.1.4 but I can't do that either.
So right now, I have a working 2.0 iphone BUT without any of my settings saved. Nor can I seem to downgrade to 1.1.4. and try restoring to backup from there.

So don't restore the media/data backup. It's only a file of your settings, you can set it back up yourself in a just a minute with a few clicks. Of course, the WebClips will be lost and your icons are out of order, but that shouldn't be a problem to redo.

If I'm unable to restore from backup, I lose all my iPhone settings: speed dials, bookmarks, notes, old SMS, stock, map and weather settings. I could redo this all by hand but that's more than a "few clicks."
Of course, I was under the mistaken belief that Time Machine would have older backups.
At this point, I'll wait it out and see what happens; by tomorrow, I suspect others may have similar problems.

It's a lot less work than trying to go through Recovery Mode and reinstalling several times. Waiting may be good. There seem to be more than a few different issues people are having. Who knows, maybe Apple put this up but didn't official release to see what issues would come up by those wanting to update early.
I need help. I downloaded the iPhone update thing (I'm on a Mac, by the way) but Safari didn't put the original file in the trash or anything. So, I just changed the extension to .ipsw and saved it to my desktop. I then connected my iPhone, opened iTunes and did the Option+Click on the "Check for Update" box and selected the file and when I clicked "Open" a box came up and said "An Unknown Error Occurred (1403)" I don't know what to do. And I already updated my iTunes to 7.7 and everything.

Save yourself some headaches and wait for the real firmware update intended for end-users to be released.

I agree. My iPhone is no longer working correctly . I upgraded to 2.0 and no longer have access to my Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
When I go into Settings, the WiFi row is greyed out and it reads, "No Wi-Fi". When I drill down furhter into Settings > General, the Bluetooth row is greyed out and it reads, "Unavailable. I go further into the Network settings the Wi-Fi row is again greyed out and it reads, No Wi-Fi.
I have tried the followed with no success in restoring Wi-Fi or BlueTooth functionality
Turned unit Off/On
Soft Reset
Cleared all Settings
Reset All Settings
Reloaded 2.0 Firware four times.
Attempted to Downgrade to 1.1.4 three times, and got the unknown error "(20)"
I tired each restore method using the Shift-Restore, and Restore alone with no success.
HELP! - Any one else experiencing this problem, and/or know how to resolve it?
As I won't be in my office tomorrow (Friday) I decided that AppleInsider was reliable enough to recommend the 2.0 software.
I printed out the instructions, read them several times and went to work. Voila! It worked just fine and 2.0 is happily running on my original iPhone. I reviewed the App Store and was surprised at how sincerely few real "gotta have" apps there are. AND of the apps that might be real helpers the price was between $4.99 and $9.99. What was surprising is the App Store hasn't officially opened and there are apps with scads of reviews! Isn't promotion fun?! But I AM impressed at how many different apps there are and time will dictate which will survive.
Thanks AppleInsider for helping us all out. You are a VERY valuable resource to those of is who have become reliant on Apple products.
I'm confused about the iPod touch and the iPhone 2.0 software. I know it's a $10 charge, but will it always be this way? Will there be a time when you can buy a new iPod touch and it comes with the 2.0 software?

Ok, worth a shot. Thanks.
Plus, it won't let me re-enter my passwords for my e-mail accounts, so I keep getting an "Invalid Password" whenever the phone tries to check my mail.
Noticed a new Contacts application on the Home Screen. Haven't dug deep into it. How does it differ from the Phone application?
It always sucked to have to go to the phone to just browse contacts. I like the feature.
So I might as well mess around with it now. Do I need iTunes 7.7.0 to make this work? Initially I used 7.6.2 and I got an error message during the upgrade to the 2.0 software. Any ideas?

You will need the 7.7.

Yeah, you should have 7.7 installed to begin with.

I was able to restore to 2.0. The iPhone then rebooted as per normal activity and I could see the new layout with the App Store icon.
The problem comes when I try to restore to backup... ...
Any suggestions?
Yeah, don't install unreleased development firmware files based upon what thousands of other morons are doing.
