How to Jailbreak iPhone Firmware 3.0 - PwnageTool

**blkcadi** · 10-01-2009, 12:07 AM

I suggest you use redsn0w, much more stable then pwnage tool. you on 3.0 right? 2g or 3g? Mac or PC?

**Beardo82** · 10-01-2009, 12:10 AM

mac
3g
was at 2.21 and i'm currently sitting at the stock 3.0 fw

So should I give redsnow a try then? Is there a tutorial or help with that one?

**blkcadi** · 10-01-2009, 12:16 AM

3.9?? never heard of it, do you mean 3.0 or 3.0.1??
Any way here is a link that will have everything you need. Or here for just redsn0w then you can unlock if needed with ultrasn0w.

You will have to update your iTunes to 8.2 or 8.2.1. Stay away from iTunes 9.0 for now.

Where does it say 3.9?

**Beardo82** · 10-01-2009, 12:19 AM

LOL It was a typo.... I went back right away and edited!
Thanks, I'm downloading redsn0w right now!
Question: I downloaded the newest iTunes cuz I thought I read something about someone upgrading their iTunes back on page 5 or 6 or something, so I went for it!
Should I downgrade before I try this redsno0w? How would I if I had to?

**angiepangie** · 10-01-2009, 12:21 AM

So right now you have iTunes 9?
Why don't you try on that and see how it goes.. or if you have another computer with itunes 8.2 still.
If it doesn't work then downgrade.

**Beardo82** · 10-01-2009, 12:27 AM

I gave it a whirl with 9.whatever, and it worked!
Thank you sooooo much (esp blkcadi).... I can't believe I've been working on this for the past 2 hours and it really should have been a 20 minute fix/job!
3.0 Jailbroken wooooot, now I just gotta install ultrasn0w, right?

**blkcadi** · 10-01-2009, 12:28 AM

**angiepangie** · 10-01-2009, 12:29 AM

You only need UltraSn0w if you want to unlock.

No need for the multiple posts here

We told you already you need to be patient an wait for a solution. For the time being there is nothing you can do.

**iliketj** · 10-06-2009, 06:38 PM

Everytime I try to run PWNage 3.0 it starts to build a package and then the program quits for no reason. I am using a G4 powerbook with 10.5, any idea on what I am doing wrong or on how to fix it. Also, is there any unlock for the 3G yet?

**confucious** · 10-07-2009, 12:44 AM

Pwnage 3.0? You should be using pwnage 3.13
The 3G can be unlocked so long as you don't update the BB beyong 04.26.08

**ddrock** · 10-07-2009, 10:05 AM

I can't do it!! The file is a .dmg and when I click it to open it, it redirects me to a web page where it starts downloading again!!! What can I do???

**confucious** · 10-07-2009, 10:13 AM

What file have you downloaded from where and what type of Mac is it that can't run a .dmg?

I screwed up I had the jailbreak for the 3G 3.0 it worked perfect but after a few months I downloaded FauntSwap and crap happend every thing worked but Cydia wouldnt boot up nothing else crashed though. I had updated already to 3.1 befor I Jailbroke but I used firmware 3.0 and Redsn0w .08 it worked perfect! Now to fix the problem I restored as a new iphone but the same process did not work this time whats going on ? Did I have a jailbroke app not all the way removed so residew programs still exisited not allowing me to restore. When I restore holding the shift then pushing restore I have the option to select the 3.0 firmware like I did before it starts to restore and half way through it tells me ERROR could not restore!!! Even though I have installed the 3.1 I use the 3.0 like the Dev Team tells you to did I forget somthing? Does some one know???? DATED Wed. Oct.7

**confucious** · 10-07-2009, 01:28 PM

Do a DFU restore.

hey,

i have the same problem with "one or more items have special permissions and cannot be copied... blahblah". i have no answer yet as i have only proceeded as far as continuing to copy it to the HD. i let elle49 know if anything turns out. as far as i have read, pwn has/had (i will some further confirmation to whether this issue has been resolved) a problem with OS X, PPC. pwn only works for intel based machines. can't say that i'm happy with that to be honest.

The reason i haven't found out if pwnage crashes or not is because i'm trying to find out the correct instructions for upgrading the iphone which has already been BJ and unlocked.

so basically i qikpwn'd my phone earlier this year from o2 contract. To tell you the truth i'm still trying to convince myself of the upgrade's worth. all the features that have been released with 3.0 i was already using on 2.2.1. i think there noticeable speed difference's with the upgrade and i don't really want to left behind, just in case it causes problem later on.

- so could any confirm what to do when your phone is already JB'd and unlocked, to get it to the latest update
- i have fuzzyband , and although i was on BL 06.04 the hack apparently flashed perfectly fine.
- from my current understanding if i DL ultrasn0w, i can upgrade to 3.0 and then pwn to 3.1.2 from that point onward
- could you put an answer to whether the performance is or isn't improved
- generally, the mian reason for this especially as i'm 2.2.1, and i should bring my phone FW indate with all changes as they happen. so not to leave my phone buried in some shadow'd OS age that cannot be repaired or retrieved.
- have improvements been made to pwn to work with PPC, 10.4.+, or is the work round still ultrasn0w and then pwn?

help appreciated
