Dev Team posts upgrade warning

"Only so many ways to say it

You’ve seen us give this warning before, and there are only so many ways to say it or come up with a clever title But here it is: ultrasn0w users must stay away from any firmware updates past 3.0 (including today’s 3.1 beta) until we release the tools that let you update the firmware without updating the baseband. For most phones out there, baseband updates are irreversible and you’ll lose ultrasn0w.

The 3.0 jailbreak was one of those (rare) times where both the jailbreak and the unlock coincided (the only other time was 2.2). It’s important that people realize that *most* firmware releases aren’t like that, and you need to take steps (via the tools) to separate the firmware update from its included baseband update.

This warning does not apply to the iPhone 2G, which uses BootNeuter for the unlock, not ultrasn0w."


you know the drill...

It is still good to throw the warning out there for any new users. This stuff can sound like a foreign language when you first jump into the jailbreak community.

true...
but i think after 3 iPhone releases there aren't too many new users looking to jailbreak out there...

but yeah, that's why its a given that they would post a warning.

Hell we haven't even got the green light on 3.0 yet.....3GS

[Broomhead]

we have tons of noobs joining every day, it's good to post warnings

[yoTelefonoCuatro]

hahaha
i did say i understand why it is important to post warnings..
but it looks like the dev team is even kinda like okay you know the drill.

And Zwayne we did kinda get the greenlight in that we were told it is definitely jailbreakable. but yeah we bought it before anyone said it can be jailbroken haha
