| 1st Gen iPhone’s:
You can upgrade to the 3.0 firmware however, you will lose your current jailbreak and your unlock. You will be able to jailbreak as soon as the Dev-Team released the jailbreak which will hopefully be some time today. You will also be able to unlock your iPhone when ultrasn0w is released on Friday. So, if you upgrade to 3.0, you will not be able to unlock your iPhone until Friday. yellowsn0w will not work on the 3.0 firmware. Remember, even once the jailbreak is out, not many of the current jailbroke applications work on firmware 3.0. |

| In any event, I found a fix online and I thought you'd like to know that there's an issue with iTunes and IE (go figure, huh?). Not much on Google right now, but the error I received after the upgrade was completed was -9808 when contacting the iTunes store. The fix is to go into Internet Explorer, go to advanced options, scroll down to security and UNCHECK "Check for server certificate revocation". Restart iTunes and close IE and you should be fine. My iPhone was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen for forever. After changing that option, I was able to finish the installation and the iPhone rebooted itself and displayed the activation pop-up or whatever you want to call it.

| Today, a new iPhone OS, 3.0 has been released. This is obviously a big and long waited for update for all iPhone users. And we believe, it is about time to officially announce that we are discontinuing support of Installer platform for iPhone and iPod touch.
Over past 1.5 years when we were involved in the Installer project (first in 3.x versions, then in 4.x), a lot of things has happened and we believe it’s time to unify the installation platform for the iPhone — and clearly, over the past year this is DPKG, thanks to tremendous effort of Jay Freeman and his Cydia. We have also dropped our two cents by providing our own themeable and lightweight DPKG installer tool, named Icy. So now you have a choice, which tool to use — and no matter what you choose, it will be compatible with each other. We obviously cannot speak for Jay, but we will do our best to make sure two products play nicely together. The Installer 4 repositories we manage will be running until July 1st, 2009, then they will be discontinued and brought offline. So if you wanted to get something that is only available in the Installer — this is the time to do so. We would like to take the opportunity and say “thank you” to everyone who has contributed and supported Installer project in any way. You rock. |

| Like most of the Apple fanboys out there, I anxiously awaited the arrival of the latest iPhone software upgrade to 3.0. And, like my fellow nerds, I continuously clicked the "Check for Updates" button in iTunes starting around 9:55 a.m. Pacific (in case Apple released the update early). Finally, around 10:15 a.m., I got the notification that new software was available to download - here's what I think so far:
As was mentioned in the title, I have the original iPhone. Because the update is optimized for the newest hardware, the iPhone 3G S, I knew many of the 3.0 software features would not apply to my device. However, even on my ancient (nearly two years old) handset I was able to find some great upgrades. The first thing I had to check was the camera. Many of the 3.0 beta testers reported that the cameras on the older phones were much...snappier, and I can confirm that. Everything from loading the app to the shutter seems to have gained major speed improvements. The navigation system has changed a bit too - the "go to Photo Library" button has been replaced with a button that shows a thumbnail of the last photo you took. When pressed, you can examine your entire camera library. I don't know if it is taking better pictures or if I just want to believe it is, but certainly the faster shutter response makes the photos seem much sharper. You can even set your "double-click the home button" function to open the camera application. Next up was inspecting Spotlight. A simple swipe to the right from your start page and you can begin your search. If you're not one to swipe, simply click the home button and you're ready to go. If you on a page other than the start page, click the home button twice. Spotlight works quickly and accurately finding information on my iPhone, although I noticed searching text messages was not an option. It's great for contacts and e-mail. Speaking of text messages, you can now delete and/or forward from the edit button, one or multiple messages. Having to delete an entire conversation previously didn't seem logical if I only wanted to get rid of one particularly "not safe for work" message. Safari has added the ability to close all windows, leaving only a blank page, waiting to be commissioned for surfing. One of my major annoyances with starting Safari in the past was having to stop the previously visited page from reloading before entering a new destination. The newest addition to the "you cannot delete this app" family of useful built-in programs is Voice Memos. In true Apple fashion, it's sleek and simple and does exactly what it says. It records your voice and stores them as memos. Once your memo is stored you can tag it with a label, trim the bad parts out, or share it via e-mail. And one last feature that may turn out to be a saving grace for another Apple service--Find My iPhone. This location, remote message, and remote wipe feature via MobileMe may end up revitalizing MobileMe's appeal. As a security feature, the ability to locate your iPhone (and wipe it completely if needed) makes MobileMe nearly essential - especially if you have a propensity for losing your phone. On my original iPhone, the locator was not very specific, letting me know that my iPhone was within a five-mile radius the office. I would imagine the GPS tracking on the iPhone 3G and 3G S are much more narrow. This is not as useful on the original iPhone, but I suppose it's still good to know if my phone has skipped town. The other highly-touted features of iPhone 3.0 sadly will not be experienced by my original iPhone. Auto-focus camera lens, video recording and editing, and voice control are all hardware specific features available on the iPhone 3G S. And although I sorely covet those things to the point that I may actually throng about in the crowds at the local Apple Store on Friday simply to get a glimpse of the new features in action, the iPhone 3.0 update for my original iPhone is great. |

| THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE UNOFFICIAL QUICKPWN RELEASES IS THAT IF YOU USE THEM, YOU WILL KILL YELLOWSN0W, POSSIBLY FOREVER. That’s because QuickPwn, by its very nature, requires you to already have accepted Apple’s official IPSW, along with its baseband update. If you do that, you will (possibly forever) lose your ability to software-unlock your iPhone 3G.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so perhaps we should be flattered that so many ad-supported sites are now using our own tools to create unofficial jailbreaks (QuickPwn in particular is so easily adapted from one release to the next that it’s reduced to a handful of binary pattern searches in a good hex editor). But please don’t expect support for them on this blog, because we’re actually busy with the hard part of the 3.0 jailbreak (the 02.28 incompatibility and the new compressed ramdisk they’re using). Oh, and also the unlock  |

| We've been working out kinks in two areas: youtube on hacktivated phones, and an bona fide Apple bug (!)

| Update 2 (Thursday morning):
We have two issues that we’ve been trying to resolve: 1. There are new 3.0 complications with YouTube.app if you’re on a hacktivated (unofficially activated) device 2. There’s a bug in Apple’s new version of asr that our custom IPSW’s are tickling and causing crashes on, on some devices. (For the nerdy or curious among us, the details of that bug were tweeted by planetbeing a month ago.) As of Thursday morning we now have a workaround for #2. For #1, we’ll try our best to get it fixed but we may end up releasing a preliminary jailbreak in which YouTube doesn’t work for hacktivated devices, and then follow that up with a more complete jailbreak when we can. |
