How to Jailbreak iPhone Firmware 3.0 - PwnageTool

[elle49]

I found the crash log for pwntool on my computer, however it makes no sense to me. All I can gather is that it crashed in thread 7. If anyone knows/ would like to take a look at it to figure out why pwntool keeps crashing, pm me. It is very long.

Just tried to upgrade my software to 3.0 from 2.2.1.
Followed the instructions to the dot. All went fine until iTunes started verifying the software on my iPhone and I got the error message "10".
Could this be because I am using a powered usb hub (I can't upgrade my phone on a Mac Air without usb hub due to usb issues).
Tks. Mike

update itunes.. had the same error.
but, when installing substrate got stuck in a loop, now getting constant 1600

Hello, I have successfully jailbroken my IPhone 3G using Pwnage tool on a MAC. I did not use RedSn0w though so do I need to do it over again using RedSn0w?

Any idea why pwnagetool crashes when creating custom ipsw? I tried 4 times, redownloading both the pwnagetool (MMi download) and the 3.0 ipsw file (apple direct).

Me too. Can't make it work. I'm on a G5 (PowerMac) so going to try it on my Intel... NeoNightmareX tried to help, alas, no success.

did everything, went smoothly, but now i have no reception at all!
Edge or 3g is not working, wifi is fine.
someone please help.

Go into expert mode in PwngeTool. After you choose the firmware you want to use, you will see options. Under General, you need to unselect "Activate the phone".

After I pwned to 3.0, all my cydia apps won't open. They crash back to springboard instantly. Any ideas?

No icy installed apps open either.

Could be that these apps arent updated for 3.0 yet. Try a hard reset...

BossPref doesn't seem to be working correctly. I can't get the numeric battery to come on and everytime I open and close BossPref the icons re-arrange themselves and the Wi-Fi shows off but it's really on. I wish I could find out the bootloader version with 3.0.

get rid of bossprefs and use SBSettings. Bossprefs is obsolete at this point. Click on "About" in the upper left corner of BossPref to see what I am talking about

Swipe with your finger across the top of your screen. or tap on the top of your screen with 2 fingers.

All you need is to download the custom IPSW for 3.0 FOR 3G!

1. download QuickPwn RC3
2. download iphone 2.0.2 ipsw
3. Run quickpwn rc3 and do everything it says until your iphone has a white screen.
4. turn off quickpwn leave cable attached to iphone while white screen is on and turn on itunes .

for those who's pwnage tool is crashing on a mac, try another mac or pc and use redsnow. this was happening to me and tried everything to fix it. pwnage tool crashed while building ispw so i downloaded redsnow on my mac and it too crashed not long after progress bar started. dunno if its a PPC thing or whatever but i used redsnow on a pc and worked straight away. dont waste time trying to fix it, just use another machine.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if my iphone is already jailbroken on 2.0 and im using pwnagetool to jailbreak to 3.0, do i need to restore in itunes to 3.0 BEFORE i use pwnagetool??
