Jailbreak 3.0 Beta 2

If you’re looking to jailbreak your 3.0 firmware there is an option out there. It only works for PCs right now because it uses quickpwn. It also doesn’t install Cydia, but RipDev’s Icy. I’m gonna test it out and let you know how it goes. If anyone else has tried it, let us know. Here’s a quote from quickpwn.com:
You can only jailbreak on the iPhone 3.0 Beta 2, iPhone 3G 3.0 beta 2, and iPod Touch 1st Gen beta 3.0. It’s 3.2 MB only because it install’s RiPDev’s Icy program. Once you’ve jailbroken you need to open Icy, refresh all the sources and install OpenSSH to jailbreak.
You can download quickpwn here: http://quickpwn2-2-1.googlecode.com/files/QuickPWN-30-beta2.zip
You can also read the Dev Teams comments about the jailbreak here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ Here are the main reasons they haven’t released a jailbreak:
1. We don’t want to have to release a new version of PwnageTool and QuickPwn for every beta release. Last time around during the 2.0 beta period, there were nine (9!) Apple releases, spaced within a few weeks of each other.
2. There are unresolved problems that we’re still working on. It’s currently impossible to get the 3.0 firmware to talk to baseband 02.28 where yellowsn0w lives, for instance.
3. We don’t want to have to support everyone who wants to back down from the betas…because the betas are, well, buggy.
4. It’s silly to play cat&mouse with Apple during a beta period, when relatively few people are willing to actually use the beta software in their everyday lives. There are ways Apple can tighten the screws, and we’d rather not burn methods just for a beta release.THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE UNOFFICIAL QUICKPWN RELEASES IS THAT IF YOU USE THEM, YOU WILL KILL YELLOWSN0W, POSSIBLY FOREVER.

The Jailbreak works really well. It actually installs a program called ICY. Which is basically the same as Cydia. As a matter of fact. I actually prefer using ICY, It seems to be more responsive and easier to use than Cydia.
Word of warning…..This will only jail break your Iphone, It will not allow you to use the new firmware to make calls unless you are in the dev program.
And if you have your UDID registered then do not select activate or you will not get a signal either.

Nope you can install any version ofthe beta 3, But you will not get a signal unless you have your UDID registered with a DEV.

EDIT:
i didn’t realize that you must have iTunes installed on the same computer that you’ll be using QuickPwn on..
I have got the firmware 3.0 ipsw.
Pls explain how to upgrade to 3.0
Thanks

you should make sure that your UDID is registered with the Dev program or you may not be able to activate. But just plug into itunes then and let it find your device. Then, on a MAC hold down option (if on a PC hold down shift) and click restore then find your 3.0 software and choose it.
So how to become UDID user
