Disable Airplane mode before installing the new iPhone 2.0.1 software update. Having Airplane mode turned on can result in a non-functional phone when the update is applied, reports iPhoneAtlas. You may receive the error message: “Information for activation cannot be obtained from the iPhone.”
Fortunately, you can disable Airplane mode from the emergency screen if your iPhone is put into an inactivated state by the problematic update.
Also, you may get the following error: “iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. An unknown error occurred (OxE80000001).” If this error occurs, try clicking the “Restore” button in iTunes rather than “Update.”
