Here is my qustion:

Ran Redsnow on my 3.0, Launch, 8GB (1 Generation) iPhone. Its Jailbroken. How do I tell if its Unlocked (I don't have SIM cards from any other carrier).

If you really want to prove it's unlocked, you're gonna have to find a SIM from another carrier. Ask your friends to borrow theirs.
 
Quick question, where do I get the Ipsw from on a Mac computer. I don't really know what to do.

Also, I am jailbroken currently with 2.2. The steps I should take is restore my phone back to normal, next install 3.0 on my phone, the rejailbreak my phone using RedSnow. Is this correct?

Thanks a lot for the help!
 
Same here. Weak! What ispw did u use? I used the one iTunes auto downloaded, not the one from the link someone posted here. I wonder if that's the issue?

i used the iTunes auto ddl as well and for some weird reason it now worked, but cydia itself seems a lil buggy and now i'm stuck on a spinning wheel after tryin to install SBSettings

You need to do the essential upgrades and after that everything work's like a charm :)
 
help please

so when i jailbreaked the 3g it installed correctly but i dont have service. and yes im with att. what do i need to do.
 
Just finished everything. Cydia seems flaky. For those whose Cydia is crashing, shut off device with slide to turn off and then try. I had better results doing that.

The only thing I can confirm is that Slingplayer works over 3g with ticker3g. That is the only reason for me JBing, I don't use the rest.
 
works like a champ for me......no issues yet.....installed 5 icon dock, winterboard, and multilock bar theme......

TrickerThreeG is next
 
Will be jailbreaking my 3.0 3G very shortly.

Ill let you know how it goes.

EDIT: GREAT SUCCESS!

One problem though. Cydia stole the icon of another app i have...wtf lol.
 
1. How do I remove RedSn0w?
2. What happens when Apple release new iPhone OS/iTunes updates?

Redsn0w is not on your phone.

If you update to new Apple firmware, you just lose your jailbreak, as the new firmware overwrites the jailbreak firmware.

No big deal. Same as the jailbreak firmware overwrites portions of the Apple firmware.

User/Library/iTunes/Software I believe. Just nose around in the iTunes library. It's in a folder in there (think Software folder)
 
All ok here, upgraded in iTunes and it done its stuff and was ready to go, didn't have to use redsn0w, not noticing much different tho lol
 
fully jailbroken on my iphone 3G, 8GB.

Wondering, when will the unlock come out? When I signed up for my contract today I put in my old number so it'll port to my new phone, I would like to use T-Mobile, but it seems the unlock isn't out yet. :(

Anyone got a date?
