Pwnage 3.0 - Bugs/Problems/Success stories

Wow...i am extremely surprised at the amount of people having problems. I've successfully been on 3.0 jailbroken for 7-8 hours now, using a custom .ipsw with Cydia only (none of that Icy crap).

Got SBSettings (themed already as well) OpenSSH, some SBSettings toggles, WinterBoard (themed already, custom dock/icons/wallpaper/html that I previously backed up from 2.2.1), Installous (hey, I like to try before I buy, but I got iTunes order receipts to prove my purchases for every app I like), Tethering activated with a custom .ipcc...already have custom wi-fi icons, battery icons and tap-to-unlock with the lock screen date and time hidden.

It sounds like a lot, but it's actually very minimalist and mostly a few cosmetic changes, everything is running a LOT smoother than my 2.2.1 JB setup. I think i am going to keep things to a minimum this time around, especially since there isn't a lot of MobileSubstrate based apps that I need except for SbSettings and WinterBoard. No problems here so far!
 
im an idiot and need specific instructions. i have pwnagetool and im on 3.0

should i just do simple or go with expert? i do not plan on unlocking. all i want is cycorder and cydia really for the time being. i dont need logos and the extra stuff
 
No clue what my problem is, but I've tried twice and everything seems to work fine.

Cydia doesn't appear anywhere.

I couldn't restore with the ipsw in DFU. Kept getting a 1600 error. I tried to restore in restore mode. I got a 1604 error then.

I restored normally and started as a new phone. Then I went to DFU mode and restored with the jailbroken .ipsw and then restored with my backup and everything worked.

I've used cydia and the phone for a few hours now with no problems.

This used to work for me in the past but it's not doing it this time, still error 1600 when restore DFU on a barebone iphone

also updated all software, Mac OS, iTunes, etc. to the latest, doesn't help
 
Not sure where to even ask this, but is anyone else having issues with the itunes app? its giving me garbled graphics and missaligned butons instead of touchable icons.

is this a problem with 3.0 or the new jailbreak?

this black thing is what I see under all the main categories. what gives?
 
iclarified also has step by step instructions on pwnage 3.0 (which is not much diff than before) http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4254

For the 16xx error, found this on the dev-team blog comments:

Props go out to EriCKY for this 16xx fix:

1. download QuickPwn RC3
2. download iphone 2.0.2 ipsw
3. Run quickpwn rc3 and do everything it says untul your iphone has a white screen.
4. unplug your iphone, turn off quickpwn and turn on itunes.
5. shift click restore in itunes and pick the 3.0 jailbroken firmware :3

many are reporting success with this, I am getting ready to try it (once my wife is off the PC)
 
Sorry, maybe a dumb question, but is anyone still getting an error with DFU if they are using a mac? I know that I had to use my dad's windows machine last time I updated, because my computer had the problem of not letting the phone go into DFU and getting an error. I just want to know if this is still a problem so that I can wait for the windows release before I try anything incase it doesn't work.

It is a 2G 8GB iphone by the way, and it has been unlocked and jailbroken many times.

I have the same problem. Cydia was there before I re-synced my phone with computer. Now it is missing. I then updated a bunch of apps, but then are nowhere to be found. The went through the updating and installing part but just disappeared after that. Cydia is no where to be found...

Should I start over and go through pwnage tool again?
 
ok so I tried restoring to the custom firmware, I got a 1604 error.
Then I restored to the regular firmware. I'm on 2G so the phone is unlocked but not activated.
I entered DFU (the screen stayed all black) and I tried to restore in iTunes with the custom firmware, I got a 1600 error..
anyone with an idea as to how we do this?

I'm on windows and downloaded a custom firmware through demonoid.

AlmostJosh was right. I was using the other 3.0 file instead of the one that said custom_restore at the end of it for the 'option restore' part of it.
 
Really buggy for me-I had to go back to 3.0 vanilla on my wife's phone. Nearly everything crashed-Winterboard barely runs. Open SSH didn't work, terminal didn't work, five icon dock didn't work, there is no mobileinstallation patch.

LOTS of work needed befre JB 3.0 will be as good as 2.X. For my phone, I am staying on 2.2.1 pwned for now. I need stability AND unlock.

Sorry, but everything you mentioned above works perfectly fine for me. The only thing different is that there is no Mobile Installation 3.0 right now...it's something new called AppSync 3.0 available on Cydia. This all sounds like YOU'RE doing something wrong (don't take that the wrong way!)

If it helps, i am on a PC running Windows Vista, and I used a custom 3.0 firmware that I posted in a thread here which had OpenSSH/SBSettings and Cydia installed (it didn't have ICY installed though, as I do not trust anything by RiPDev).

So far i've gotten my iPhone back to the same state as it was on JB'd 2.2.1 (but a lot faster of course, as i've installed only the necessities like SSH/SBSettings/Cycorder/Installous/Terminal/StatusNotifier and WinterBoard, along with enabling tethering through a custom .ipcc).

same problem for me:mad: anyone got a solution?
 
Relieved to see I'm not the only one. It sure felt like it for a while. If it weren't for this glaring problem it would be pretty flawless for me so far.
