Thanks dude, I think you guys just saved me from bricking my phone. Dammit, need to keep my head straight. It's irritating to be this impatient... Starting to think the 3.0 hype is bigger than the iPhone hype was.. :D

HAHAHA!! We're like 12 year old kids waiting to open their presents on Christmas day...but here's the irony, we know exactly what the present's going to be: a bunch of improvements that only become apparent over time, and a crapload of effort and adrenaline to get my current legal and err...not-so-legal apps to work in harmony on 3.0. (note to self: if LockBox loses my saved passwords etc. I'm screwed, not even Jesus would be able to recall my SARS eFiling logon...:D:D:D)

Well, I don't blame him...Floppies tend to last for ages (still have some 8 inch -yes you read it 8 INCH- floppies stored away that'll probably still work). Plus I'm sure he just saves text, thus not requiring a lot of storage space :)
 
I don't get it, shouldn't we be seeing a ton of links to the 3.0 firmware by now? Been following it on Twitter but they're all the 3GS version.
 
gizmodo.com had a article with a link where you could download the OS3 image, but they removed it within a few minutes.
 
so pwnagetool should be available soon after the official firmware is released :)
Big week!

As anyone reading this blog must already know, this is the big week where Apple releases their official 3.0 FW to the public (Wednesday), and then the new iPhone2,1 hardware, aka the iPhone 3GS (Friday).

On Tuesday evening (just before the big Apple release) we’ll do a live demo of the yellowsn0w carrier unlock working on official 3.0 firmware. The actual link for the feed will be twittered by @MuscleNerd and also placed here when the feed starts. The demo should answer everything you need to know about the new yellowsn0w. But it’s good news for iPhone 3G unlockers everywhere.

Meanwhile, we’re in the middle of testing our PwnageTool and QuickPwn tools, which will work with iTunes 8.2. The jailbreak of course continues to work on 3.0 for all devices it ever worked on, thanks due the Pwnage 2.0 technique released last summer. Our tools will be released no sooner than the Apple release (just in case!).

P.S. For the new iPhone 3GS, please don’t expect periodic updates about any progress we have or don’t have. Nothing gives Apple the upper hand like someone tweeting or blogging partial hack results. That’s not how cat & mouse is played :) That’s how the cat gets fed.

Updates after the video. Please skip ahead to 02:00 to see the demo.
Update 1:
Only ultrasn0w is going to take til Friday to get pushed out. All of our other tools should be out pretty soon after the official Apple release.
If you apply our jailbreak when it comes out, you can install ultrasn0w anytime after that. You obviously won’t have cell service in the meantime, though.
This may in fact be directly applicable to the iPhone 3GS if it can be jailbroken, because it runs the same baseband version. Whether or not it can be jailbroken is a big question right now!
If you’re on Twitter, please give @Oranav a pat on the back. He could have revealed the crash he found to Apple and maybe gotten quite an incentive in return. Instead, he told us about it so that we could work it into an injection vector for the soft unlock.

Just out of curiosity, what will the be the best way to upgrade to the 3.0 os? I have a 16 g 3g that is jailbroken. Is all my stuff (stanza ebooks photographs etc) backed up to itunes when I sync my iphone with my computer? I used the jailbreak method as I wanted mms and video capabilities. Should I just let itunes upgrade for me? Does that wipe everything and then I will have to resync?
 
Well somethings are not not backed up my itunes, especially videos through cycorder and mms photos that is not saved in your photo album.

There is an app called isafe copy, used to free but its not anymore, with that you can backup everything, including your winterboard themes and cydia sources
