I tried again and get this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 then it recovers back to standard 3.1 won't allow the custom firmware $%@#$^^@$#^$#^

Refer to this post.

You have to use a DevTeam tool to get it into DFU mode!! Follow fxit's instructions above and you will come right (He has the Windows method, I just needed to use PwnageTool to put my phone in DFU). It's I said earlier about the white DFU screen.

Hi all

I'm using an iphone 3g with version 3.0 of the os. (Jailbroken.) If I update itunes to 9, will my phone still connect to itunes, or do I have to update teh phone to 3.1 as well?

You haven't mentioned if your iPhone is factory unlocked or software unlocked. iTunes 9.0.1 won't have any issues using v3.0[JB].

If you are network locked, then don't update to 3.1 until the new jailbreaking tool is released.

wow you guys post lots.. cant make guide today as I just got home now.

WRT to 3GS 3.1 JB... It does install Cydia 100% and I am not d/l cycorder as the 3GS has a vid camera

has anyone used ih8sn0w's iREB, http://ih8sn0w.com/ to get the iPhone in recovery mode as fxit suggests?

hehe sometimes i wonder if iphone users spend more time jailbreaking and restoring than using it as a phone :-)

Seems like geohot has jailbroken the iPod touch 3G... nice... he says that his program should jailbrake any iPhone on 3.1! He will be releasing tomorrow.. lets see

Some guidelines on asking for help when it comes to jailbreaking/unlocking etc

google first, don't ask stupid questions like "will itunes 9.0.1 connect to my iphone on 3.0", these answers are all over the place

check the first page of this forum first (gen info link in my signature, thanx fxit)
Provide specifics of your phone, even if you did so before, it's hard to keep track otherwise, e.g. Vodacom iP3Gs (FaNIX, where'd you buy your phone?)
Provide the software state of your phone, even if you did so before, it's hard to keep track otherwise, eg. "OS3.0.1, on file with cydia @ version 3.0, previously/currently jailbroken?"

as for network locked non SA 3Gs', you will ALWAYS struggle with push notifications, FaNIX, yes, you can try restore to firmware that does not activate and then activate with AT&T sim, this should work, however, be EXTREMELY sure the firmware you restore to does not contain any baseband upgrade, as this will permanently disable your ability to remove the network lock

if you want to go into a conversation regarding your specific needs for jailbreak/unlock, do so via email, mine's theron.roland@gmail.com, and i'm always willing to help provided you've done at least some digging on your own, i help with the tough stuff, you really can figure out the basics yourselves....

FOR NETWORK LOCKED (NON SA PURCHASED) PHONES, DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR 3G, 3GS OR 4 TO ANY FIRMWARE THAT YOU DID NOT PWN OR A CONFIRMED PWNED COPY YOU DOWNLOAD YOURSELF, JUST BECAUSE FIRMWARE CAN BE JAILBROKEN, DOES NOT MEAN IT CAN BE NETWORK UNLOCKED, YOU CAN ONLY UPGRADE TO CUSTOM FIRMWARE, OR NEW FIRMWARE THAT CONTAINS A BASEBAND WITH A KNOWN UNLOCK

To answer your Question: Bought it from ebay, USA.

I'll really think that push should work if I try it that way, because ATM, my push works perfectly, without ANY problems.. it's fast and accurate... why people say it doesn't work on hacktivated phones I dont know, they probably mean phones that weren't activated in iTunes... Luckely I still have the AT&T simcard.... I'll first wait for geohot's exploit, and then try pwnageTool's custom firmwares...

But i'll keep everyone posted.. I think it's something a lot of people wishes to know!

Regarding your email address..haha.. added to my address book

again, the guys who created the custom ipsw's are not sure if the "activate unchecked" version of the custom firmware has the baseband in it or not

I'd suggest finding custom firmware somewhere that explicitly states the baseband is not there, or use a mac, and create your own custom firmware you are sure about... theoretically, if the phone is legitimately activated push will work, but we do not know how the unlock affects this, it's aim and hope to hit really

It does seem that one can choose to update the baseband or not... if this really work, I dont know...
