The very first iPhone known as iPhone 2G or iPhone edge along with iPod Touch 1st Gen will no longer get official firmware updates since iOS 4.0. This is justified for the reason that processing power and ram of these iDevices is not capable to run iOS 4.0 features. So, this means that these CLASSICAL iDevices can’t get benefit of iOS 4.
Hackers community always take up such challenges and they have built a mod which brings some prominent features and look of iOS 4 to iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G. Actually, it is not an iOS 4 firmware rather it is custom 3.1.3 firmware which has been patched to mirror iOS 4 features on iPhone 2G.
The custom iOS 4 firmware for iPhone 2G can be downloaded from here.
You can also watch video of iPhone 2G running on custom iOS 4.0 firmware.
The iOS 4 features supported in this custom 3.1.3 firmware are
- Jailbreak
- Hacktivation
- native MMS enabled
- native USB Tethering enabled
- native Bluetooth Tethering enabled
- native Battery Percentage enabled
- 3GS’s Tap To Focus enabled (fake)
- emojii enabled everywhere
- Voice Control Vocalia
- Voice Control Home Button Double Click
- fake Compass to fast-respring
- 4.0 System Version
- 27 Wallpapers from iOS4
- semi-trasparentdock form iOS4
- icons from iOS4
- reflective dock toggle
- springboard backgorund
- sms background
- no Winterboard or BossPaper

SBsettings, App store, iTunes store don't work. Do not use reflective dock. Other than that, it works
"SBsettings, App store, iTunes store don't work"
So they dont work when you use reflective dock? or they just dont work at all?
the app store doesn´t work, but the itunes store work, i have the reflective doch switched off and on, what can i do?
please help me
sorry nut my english is not so good, because i come from germany
lg manu
can someone help i have installed ios4 but my mms is not working … i`m not getting the mms setting in sms … but i have it the data setting
what carrier are you using?
Correction:
iTunes app works fine. App store app works slightly, when you open it tap on the lower right of the screen a few times. Avoid “Featured” inside app store app. SBsettings don’t work at all. Winterboard works slightly, you cant hide it from the springboard. Reflective dock works fine as does everything else.
If you try to download a app exclusively for the 4.0 firmware and try and load it, it will reboot the iphone.
cant find the link to the iOS 4 for iphone 2g some please help..
hey dude here's ios4 for your iphone 2g enjoy

Do you guys also experiencing problem when you install installous with this modified firmware? After I installed installous, it was not in the home screen also when I restart my iphone I was stuck on the boot loop. (apple logo with wheel). So I restored again my iphone then I started all over again but same thing happened again. I tried it several times. Can anyone please help me. thanks
im on this IOS4 on my iphone 2g.
How do you get back on 3.1.3 because i dont like it.
Im having issues with mine ever since i downloaded this.
I installed IOS4 on my 2G, and it looks good but seems to be a p.o.s. BossPrefs works when it wants to. SB, app store and most of the cydia goodies either dont work or cause the phone to crash. poof doesnt work at all. and a blank blue block appears on the app store, so nothing can be downloaded directly from the app.and the compass seems to do nothing, but i kinda figured that since there really isnt gps. I wouldnt reccommend it and i believe i will go back to 3.1
how do you go back to 3.1? lol
i upgraded my iphone to ios 4 but mms is not working……please someone help me
