Anyone know when it will be released? I find my iPhone quite boring without it being jailbroken, and also the default theme/interface looks horrible compared to the ones our community design! I can't wait much longer!
 
How do you know there will be no QuickPwn? I cant see it on the iPhone Dev Team's Blog?
Are you sure there will be no QuickPwn?

100% Sure there will be no QuickPwn. Dev Team just made redsn0w which supports all the iDevices (Excluding the 3G S) all in one program. It runs exactly like QuickPwn and is just as easy.

Quick pwn 's website says different. why ? I've seen many reports that redsnow is a advanced buggy JB. not saying ur wrong just wondering why the site says "coming soon"?

Also... Have seen guides to use 3.0 when released. jw

Not a problem! Jailbreaking 3.0 is just as easy! Did mines and my gf's, both without a single problem. Gotta love the Dev Team, too bad they don't accept donations.

Well I don't know why they haven't updated the website but maybe they might be leaving QuickPwn there since it has been used/tested more then redsn0w. But as I mentioned, redsn0w is flawless and is a big step ahead of QuickPwn.

The QuickPwn website is not an official iPhone Dev Team website, just a source/third party website that distributes the QuickPwn software.
I remember reading somewhere on the Dev Team Blog that they do not approve of the site.

Hope that clears things up.

you won't need a guide. it asks you for everything you need to do and gives you instructions for DFU mode
 
There is no Quickpwn for 3.0, and there never will be. Redsn0w is the new Quickpwn, and it's available here.

If there is no more QuickPwn then why would the Dev Team say this: "QuickPwn for Mac OS X and Windows will follow sometime soon, please don’t bug us about it, we are working flat out to get everything finished to release them."
 
When I click to download RedSnow from the Dev Team, nothing there to unzip. Why? Other links are broken.
 
Sorry to sound like a n00b, but what do I do here? I have no idea what IPSW is.

Where does iTunes save .ipsw files?

I've searched /Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod Firmware, but can't seem to find the iTunes folder!

EDIT: Found it.
 
IPSW = iPod/iPhone Soft Ware

Pretty much the actually 3.0 update file itself, wherever it may be saved on your computer. :)

Do I need custom IPSW or do I just use the official 3.0?? I'm a little confused only on this point. When I used quickpwn on 2.2.1 I needed a custom firmware - don't I need that for redsnow??
 
Careful when you download the 3.0 update, it will come out as .ipsw.zip but don't unzip it, just get rid of the .zip instead. This problem took me a little longer than expected to figure out.. Cheers!

You just need the offical 3.0 ipsw. That's what I used and everything worked pefect with resn0w.
