It keeps saying 2.2.1 is the newest firmware! Gah!
Denver has an iPhone? 3.0 half downloaded now.
Yeah, he has one of our old iPhones
Cool.
How about Carson? 
Haha, not yet!
When you get a 3G S, give Denver your 3G and Carson, Denver’s current iPhone.
Nearly there!! The apple servers must be heating up a bit, better get that air con going!!!
if you want to stay unlocked can you update to 3.0. will it work with t-mobile
Unlock won’t stay. Will be released on Friday.
defib you had to wait till 1:00 now you can upgrade to 3.0 i just did. it also matters what time zone you are in. you should probably look at the article on this website about the release times. good luck!
Is there a direct download link somewhere for v3.0?
you guys have to first update to the newest version of itunes (8.2) before it will show up.
i just updated itunes and now 3.0 is showing up
do i have to downgrade to 2.2.1 n then click on check for updates??cos im on 3.0GM n its telling me that 3.0 is the latest FW
They are the same. No need to update.
thanx!
or should i just stay with the 3.0GM?

Super …thanks IphoneMan!
I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE A JAILBREAK IPHONE 3G WITH 2.2.1 SHOULD I UPDATE TO 3.0 FIRMWARE OR RESTORE TO 3.0 FIRMWARE
am i missing something or what i cant find notification in settings???
You need an app with notifications (tap tap revenge 2.5) for that to show.
Hopefully Jailbreak will be out by the time I get home!
I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE A JAILBREAK IPHONE 3G WITH 2.2.1
IS BETTER TO UPGRADE OR RESTORE TO 3.0 FIRMWARE
ANY SUGGESTIONS
i hit upgrade and everything went ok
when is the dev team expected to release their tools to jailbreak? thought right after apple released 3.0…?
Anyone figure out how the turn by turn GPS works? I can’t seem to find it.
You need a turn by turn App. Like Tom Tom… but it’s not out jet!
anyone know the modem f/w of a 2g on 3.0 and if/when it is/was upgraded
Ok, so I’ve been running the 3.0GM the day after WWDC. The only thing I’m looking forward to right now is the push notifications. And of course my new iPhone 3G S on Friday. Has anyone heard anything about the push notifications yet? Right now I’m looking for that extra “Notification” tab in settings. And its not there yet. Am I missing something to get the push notification started?
Get tap tap revenge 2…that is the only app that supports push notification for thye time…therl b other apps later
If i update my iphone 1st gen to 3.0 will i still have my unlock? or should i wait till friday?
cheers
wait till friday or you may lose your unlock
Updated to 3.0, but can’t connect to appstore to finish it…. I guess apple screw up again…another network down issue…
Great “iPhone Activation Server is currently down, check back shortly”
Probably would have been a good idea to let people start downloading before the sun was up for the whole country.
Do you get this message too?
“We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out.”
Nope, it let me download 3.0 and it checks my current software…then a message pops up that the Activation Server is temporarily down.
So frustrating.
getting the same error as everyone else I assume, left with an emergency lock screen and no phone…
Activation server is down. Can’t do a restore. This stinks.
had the same issue. unplug it. turn off iphone. then turn it back on and plug it back in. it activated for me after a brief message saying it might take awhile. phew.
Okay, now that seems to be working for me.
Thanks!
Have a look here:
http://www.quickpwn.com/forums/iphone-os-3-0/4446-jailbreak-iphone-os-3-0-a.html
, looks like quickpwn is imminent!
woo hoo!!!
Wait… couldn’t this be unlocked with one of the quickpwn 3.0 beta unlocks?
I’ve tried by switching off n on my iPhone but no result. Still it shows the activation server is down. Any idea when its going to be online again…..;) can’t wait.
There is a workaround.
When iTunes is extracting the file, switch off you internet connection on your computer before it completed the extraction. This will bypass the activation.
After the iPhone has been updated, just re-enable your internet connection and once iTunes connects to the iTunes Store, it will activate your phone.
Enjoy.
does anybody have a dl link for the ipod touch 1st gen?
Sorry for wrong details…
I was going to upgrade to 3.0 but then heard that even though you upgrade you still can’t use MMS until later this summer when AT&T supports it!!!! Is this true????
Anyone having any battery problems on 3.0 ..
ever since i upgraded.. my battery is troubling me a lot
i have my wifi off, bluetooth off, location services off and i dun use mobile me .
I set an alarm at night and went to sleep with almost full battery, and in the mornin my phone was off with zero battery,,
And when i put it on charge, it showed my usage to be 7 hours.. i used it for like 15 minutes before sleeping ..
I don’t know what the heck is happening ..
Any suggestions??
I have updated to 3.0 with my 3g. But my batt percentage function stays. i heard that it has something to do with the 500mb dormant space due to cydia. and i jailbroken it 2 days ago, so is my 500mb still stuck there? or i have to click restore instead of update. Please advise guys.
