3.0 is Here. iPhone / iPod Touch Come and Get it.

**Begin** · 06-17-2009, 04:34 PM

I just tried to restore my 2G iPhone just now after hours of being told that the sever was down and just a moment ago it started. It's on the black screen with the silver Apple logo and the loading bar below it. I guess this means its starting.

I also agree that Apple should have been on the boat ages ago with the whole MMS thing. It's a pretty basic feature that just about every cell phone (even the crappiest ones) have already. The iPhone is probably the most popular phone in the world, it should have already had MMS as a standard feature.

If you are jailbroken, you are going to lose whatever apps you have installed through Cydia by upgrading to 3.0 at this time.

What I would recommend first if you have a lot of Cydia apps on your phone, is install a program from Cydia called AptBackup, and then perform a Backup from that program. Then wait until the dev team releases QwkPwn. Further, I would wait until I hear that the program AptBackup is working on 3.0. The last I heard (a week ago or so), it was not yet working on 3.0 Beta. If you don't do this, you will have to re-install all the Cydia apps you now have on your phone one by one after you've upgraded to 3.0. If you don't have a lot of Cydia apps, that's no big deal. If you have a lot of Cydia apps (as I do) you might want to wait a bit longer, until you hear that AptBackup is working on 3.0, and available to download on Cydia. AptBackup makes backing up and restoring all your Cydia apps quite painless.

Next. Before you go ahead with your upgrade to 3.0, do a sync with iTunes. Then do a full restore to 2.2.1 so that you are starting with a "clean" phone. Then go ahead with your upgrade to 3.0. iTunes will go ahead and take care of the part of reloading your App Store apps on your phone first. Then once you've accomplished that, re-install the AptBackup program back on to your iPhone from Cydia and do a restore of all your Cydia apps from within that AptBackup program. Those apps were saved on a list someplace in iTunes when you did your last sync before you upgraded.

Then you should be good to go.

Confirmed that iPhone data does not work on PrePaid iPhones anymore using the new 3.0 stuff.

**mikeydooodie** · 06-17-2009, 04:48 PM

**djdraco** · 06-17-2009, 04:50 PM

do you want mms, tethering, all you other sim cards and not lose your cydia apps? try this press up, down, left, right, a, b, a, c, a, b, b.....no wait thats sonic the hedgehog.

**r1994augusto** · 06-17-2009, 04:50 PM

who thinks that the dev exaggerated with the release date of the ultrasn0w/quickpwn for 3.0?
i do!

**Du Blex** · 06-17-2009, 04:52 PM

OKAY!... now that its out i have a few questions. Im on a 2G iPhone and really want upgrade to 3.0. Right now, I don't care about jailbreaking because I can live with the new features until friday but I need to know that its safe to upgrade to 3.0 without having to unlock it because i use a T-Mobile SIM Card and want to be able to use my phone and still enjoy the features of 3.0 while i wait for the jailbreak tool friday. So is it fine to upgrade? Thanks in advance...

My update went just fine. I was using Windows 7 RC build 7100. I was a little hesitant but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Except for a cartoon of steve jobs speaking in russian or something at the begining of the upgrade.

**juanmatt** · 06-17-2009, 05:01 PM
