Hey ya'll! I'm sorry, I know there is a thousand threads on this, but i do not have the time to search for them, plus when i do the search it comes up with a ton of threads that don't have anything to do with what i typed in. there r just so many new threads it takes forever. But i have an iPhone 3g and before i update to 3.0.1 I just wanna MAKE SURE that the JB is out already? also, in ya'lls opinion, which is better to use for this update...........Prplerain or RedSnow? sorry, i know it's a dumb post but I am not good nor am I a pro at this in the slightest bit. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
 
please read the ENTIRE sentence and not just quote those few words u wanted to go on by. Im new to this and suck at CPUs just looking for help that's all, geez!

You dont have to be "pro" to click search and input a query.

Oh, I read it. But I stopped caring about an answer after the aforementioned quote in my first response. We are not Yahoo! Answers.
 
Not that I want to encourage your lack of motivation...

But yes you can use redsn0w to jailbreak 3.0.1, all you do is point it to the 3.0 firmware instead of 3.0.1, check the dev team blog for more info.

Come back if you ahve issues.

There are some good tutorials on iclarified.com do you need a link?
 
Bruins, no i "somewhat" know of iClarified, but for someone like me a link probably would be pretty helpful i guess. Thanks alot.

I hope you are typing from a mobile device. Your spelling is inexcusable.

As bruinsrme quoted earlier follow the tutorials and use Redsn0w. Good luck. :)
 
When I downlaod the recomended firmware and unzip it I can't find the ispw file. All I get is folders with different files. I have downloaded from various sources but get the same result.
 
apps dont work after jailbreak 3.0.1 - help

I have a 2g iphone. I did jailbreak it several times and upgrade it several times with no specific issue until 3.0.1. Following this latest upgarde, i did jailbreak it one more time and...all itunes apps (not the cynthia ones) that i have been using the last twelve months do not work anymore. I can see the icones on the iphone screen but the application does not launch.
i did back it up and restore (so it is not jailbreak anymore) it. I synch the apps again and the apps still do not work. HELP
 
Try downloading and installing a free app thru the appstore on your phone.
See if that does it.

i tried. it does not. i thought about restore again completely the iphone like a new phone even if i loose some data.
 
OP -- I don't have time to read this entire thread

, but simply googling your title gives you the answer in the FIRST returned result.

This is the same problem I had.
First question to you is what kind of computer are you using so you know how to back up your stuff.
Next, Your gonna have to restore the phone to brand new, because if you use the itunes back up all the same problems will happen again and again no matter how many times you re-install the jail break software.

That should fix your problems if you restore to new and re-install the jail break software. if not give more details and ill see what i can do to help.

Also dev team blog has everything u need on how to install redsn0w with 3.0.1
