I just had to have my phone replaced and now i have 3.01 firmware.. i had used redsnow to jailbreak 3.0 before..

Do i just run the same process ontop of my 3.01 iphone? Any known issues to this?

I've looked around, unless i missed it, there is no 3.01 jailbreak yet right?

Thanks
 
Yep, it's just as easy. Iirc, you just point it to the 3.0 ipsw. Everything else is the same.

Worked out fine, i had the 3.01 clean firmware on there, ran the redsnow, pointed to 3.0 firmware.. then restored settings and ran apt and appbackup restores.. all back to normal...

except two things are odd...

The firmware in about reads 3.01 and i know have these small circles next to apps that are running in the background (is this a backgrounder enhancement or 3.01 enhancement)?

And how is it 3.01, puzzled.

works fine though
 
Yeah backgrounder has options now, and they recently became 3.0 compatible. You can click on it's icon and adjust settings.
 
I just can't get used to those new badges on Phone, Mail, and iPod, so I disabled. I don't keep that many things running in the background, and I use SBSettings processes to kill them if necessary.

Redsn0w doesn't replace your firmware, it just checks the ipsw file to make sure it is one it is compatible. It's a safety feature, to prevent Redsn0w bricking iPhones with incompatible firmware. Redsn0w hasn't been updated for 3.0.1, so it doesn't know about the 3.0.1 ipsw; but there is so little difference between the two that unlocking 3.0.1 with the same procedure works fine. Basically, you are tricking Redsn0w into thinking that you have 3.0 on your phone, so that it won't have conniptions about unknown firmware.

Hi, how do you do that? do you have to change your 3.0.1 Firmware name? to 3.0 only?
Cause I restored to 3.0.1 then tried to JB with Redsn0w 0.8 but it keeps telling me that it dos not detect the ipsw, so I re JB with only 3.0

1) Download both the 3.0 and 3.0.1 versions of the firmware file to your Pwnage folder.
1) Restore through iTunes with the 3.0.1 firmware.
2) Open Redsn0w.
3) When it asks you to select the .ipsw for your current firmware, select the .ipsw for 3.0 instead.

I know it says it's important to select the one for your current firmware, but they are so similar that it will not affect the jailbreak.

You might want to try the LEOBADGE theme. It replaces the badge with an OSX-like glowing blue dot under the icon. Very unobtrusive.
 
With 3.0 firmware it works fine, I just jailbroked my iPhone and so far looking good :cool:
