WhiteD00r Custom iOS 4.2.1 Firmware for iPhone 2G / 3G and iPod touch 1G / 2G Now Available for Down

darkgoth · 02-22-2011, 02:47 AM

Starting from iOS 4.0, Apple completely cut off the support for aging original iPhone EDGE and iPod touch first-generation. Their decision of course was justified because of the low RAM found in these first-gen devices which were released back in 2007.

While iOS 4.2.1 is still available for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G, they are barely capable of running it, and that too without the goodness of multitasking, wallpapers and Folders.

But all is not lost as the iPhone jailbreak community has now come up with a mod, which brings the complete look and feel of iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone 2G, 3G and iPod touch 1G and 2G. The mod is basically based on the iPhone OS 3.1.3, to replicate the experience of iOS 4 on the first and second generation iPhone and iPod touch.

This custom firmware, dubbed WhiteD00r, includes everything from: wallpapers, new semi transparent dock (and UI), backgrounds, all new icons from iOS 4.x, Voice Control, multitasking, video recording, and more. Full list of features can be found here.

Here is a video of it in action:

WhiteD00r custom 4.2.1 firmware for iPhone 2G, 3G, iPod touch 1G and 2G can be downloaded from here.

this is like trying to tune up cars from 1972.. gees just update your phones already.. 2Gs and 3Gs are slow and lack ram and features..

bad analogy people spend their lives fixing up old cars.

anyway not everybody can afford to buy an iphone 4 that is why we have whitedoor.

I still can't figure out how or where to download the files. I don't see any download links or anything.

Have done that. It's brings me to the download page for whited00r but where do you click on that page?

kingof9x · 02-22-2011, 05:23 PM

There are big letters that say firmware download.

Below that it says iPhone 2g iPhone 3G iPod touch 1g iPod touch 2g mb

Click on which one you want and select the the light or full version.

If you try to click on those links with your iPhone nothing happens. You need to be on a computer.

The iPhone will never be as fast as a 3GS, but my iPhone 2G is hella fast using Whited00r, it's great for me.

Not sure what's happening. I see where it says Firmware Download and has what appear to be options beneath that but they aren't links for me. I put my cursor over it and it only lets me highlight it. Maybe it's the browser on my pc. I'll try it from someone else's computer.

It works great on Google Chrome

Whited00r Lite for iPod Touch 1G is offline on the Whited00r Website. Can Anybody please post a link to download that works?

Gawernator · 03-01-2011, 04:16 PM

MattewRE still hasn't uploaded/released the 1G Lite, but i'm sure you will be happy with the Full version

If you want you can uninstall the multitasking from Cydia

---------- EDIT ----------

Folders V1.1 pre-release is out! No more crashes (hopefully)

iOS3Folders1.1_Darlo770.deb

philcamlin · 03-01-2011, 05:03 PM

I develop the repo so if you have any ideas for tweaks to include just write it in the thread!

pumaso · 03-02-2011, 05:52 AM

will whitedoor unlock also an iphone 3g which needs sim card ???

Gawernator · 03-02-2011, 08:38 AM

Well, you have a SIM card right? There are hacktivated versions of Whited00r available for download, yes.

victorarle · 03-02-2011, 04:32 PM

Installed whited00r full/unlocked. Runs smooth, but it keeps looking for a carrier and displaying "searching".
