So my iphone 3g I unlocked today.. it rocks.. even have a Subaru theme through the system.. my question is it was updated to the latest firmware 3.0.1 before doing the jailbreak... but itunes is asking for the update agian as it was jailbroken using the 3.0.0 firmware... does anyone know anythign about this stuff.. ie can I update adn not lose everything or brick my iphone?? or should I just reset and update firmware then use another jailbreak software?? seems that everywhere says you still use firmware 3.0.0 for the jailbreaking??
I'm pretty sure u have to stay with the 3.0.0 softwear until the 3.0.1 comes out it won't work with the jail break. That's what all the older jailbreaks tell u. Watch all the utube videos they explain more
^^ online.. did a bunch of searches... followed instructions.. so far NO issues... loving the changes a lot.. little scary being I am not a huge techy geek.... I know there seems to be a JB for 3.0.1 thats whay I was tyring to find out if I should update then use redsn0w to jailbreak... but its fine.. works fo rnow.. have wasted like 5hrs of my day so far settign up my phone.. just didnt want to lose all that work.. ha ha.. oh well.. now I am more accustomed to it and how it works with teh JB I will be able to do it quicker next time... till then.. I will enjoy this
I have been debating it but it still kinda worries me haha. I have 3.0.1 on my phone and the only thing I have used from the update is the cut, copy, paste, and picture save. Other than that I dont know what else it does besides you can search your entire phone for something... never use it though.
all i can say is WOW.. it opens up the iphone beyond anything.. I can even record movies with the camera etc.. trying to work out how to transfer it now... APPLE is a douchebag company for leaving so much untapped potential
Did you have to download an app for recording video. They just wanted to make you think that you had to get the 3gs to do these things then they make more $$$.
cycorder and pixelpipe... just tested it out.. recorded video and sent it to my fb account or my blog... check this page and follow the various links http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1782 and subaru theme... yes it has various pictures in the background shots of an STi.. right hand drive though
Just downloading the stuff to do it now. So I will report back if I get it to work on the new version. Should work from what I have read and I believe everything I read online:biggrin:
Tried redsn0w with the latest firmware it wouldnt recognise it. So to do it I would need to use the 3.0.0 firmware. Although the site said it works with 3.0.1 so I may need to do some more research
Mine has been jail broken for a while. Google Voice FTW. Suck it apple. Anyways, you should be able to use itunes to do the 3.0.1 updates, then use redsn0w for the 3.0 jailbreak. The 3.0.1 update only changes 1 line of code to fix a security leak, then the jailbreak modifies the existing code on the phone to unlock everything. I had issues doing it with win 7 but I fired up my mac and everything was done in 5 minutes. I think it actually take more time to reboot the phone after the jailbreak than anything else. Russ
Russ would I lose all my jb setup that I have now??? Is there a way to back it up with my current settings??? And what is googlevoice????
Nate, you can upgrade with iTunes to 3.0.1, but I would downloading 3.0.1 and starting fresh, not uploading, or restoring from a previous backup. Upgrading while jailbroken, then jailbreaking again can be messy. Once your phone is on 3.0.1 official, run redsn0w for 3.0.0, and when it asks for your .ipsw file, choose the 3.0.1 file that iTunes downloaded. It will work that way.
Or just not worry about it. It was a single line of code for the text message thing. You would have to look up what was 3.0.1, but it is not a huge deal. Your done, it has been jail broken, call it a day and run programs that apple hates. Google voice is a phone service through google. They give you a phone number and you can forward that to any other number. You get free text messaging. There is a whole bunch of things with google voice. Just do some searching on it. Apple killed the official and secondary apps for google voice, so they moved the mobile version over to cydia. Now that the FCC got involved, they are holding the official app until someone can figure out apple's approval process. Russ
Yes, if you're out of warranty, www.ifixit.com is a great site for apple device repair. How the heck did you do that?? Heh. I don't know anyone who's broken one of these screens yet..
at least she wasn't on the phone when she was driving :hsugh: (unless she was... which would make for even more LOL)
lol, not sure of the whole story, I think it fell out of her pocket or something. She did use it for like 4 months after it happened LOL. She has the 3GS now.
had been googling.. it still all works... just annoyed.. I had to climb through the basement roof in our rental house cause a door had locked and no key.. yeah.. 2 days after a vasectomy,..... so now that hurts, I have a broken screen ha haa yeah I may just send it in... btu the reason I asked is maybe there was someone on here who works at apple or knows how to do it and wanted to make money.. simple
Go buy the parts and that tool in the video and I can do it I would really like to use that fancy sand blaster you have!

I have the wrx theme on my phone and the information bar at the top (singnal, time battery, ect...) likes to just disappear. Then you lock the phone and it comes back. Anyone else notice this
