Firmware 3.0 advice: do NOT upgrade, no jailbreak yet

Firmware 3.0 has just been released for the iPhone. What are the experts saying? Don't upgrade yet. The good and sole reason for you to hold off on upgrading to said FW is beause there's no jailbreak for it yet at this time.

I swear, I wasn't gonna upgrade your iPhone to 3.0!


If you do, you will summon a foul-spewing old gypsy lady who will grab you by your collars and breathe upon you the curse of the Lamya, straight a la Drag Me to Hell. Okay, maybe that's too farfetched. But it will replace most of your 3.0GM with B5 components, and you will no longer have the real 3.0. Instead, you'll be getting a hybrid of 3.0 and beta 5. Major suxors, really.

The Big Boss elaborates on the doomsday scenario:


Next week when beta 5 expires, your 3.0 jailbreak could expire as well and you would have to restore all over again.Yes, some people may claim that they did this and “it works fine”. But as I just stated, it is not a real 3.0 final any longer. Definitely not a good idea nor is this something you want.


Just wait a few days and you should be ok.


Meanwhile, Apple iPhone School is of the position that a jailbreak is possible to arrive on June 17th. However, there's this rumor as well that even if the jailbeak apps do arrive by then, it will still not be able to work on 3.0.

We'll keep you posted on this.

Yes 3.0 isnt out till the 17th, (officially)

It is however available now from a number of torrent sites.



3.0 has been available for quite awhile now, but the master gold release requires no registering as a dev to activate.



I think because its so widely available that this was the reason to say not to upgrade.

3.0 is officially released on the 17th. But it is widely available via torrents right now. It and the pre release version of itunes 8.2 have been available for quite awhile. However the master gold version of 3.0 requires no registering as a dev and as such is available to anyone to upgrade to it.

I think this is why the article was posted.

The final version of OS 3.0 is called OS 3.0 GM Seed. It was given to the entire audience that attended the announcement of the iPhone 3G S.

I have it installed on my phone now. The public must wait till the 17th. But a quick search of usenet will produce the developers early release of 3.0. Its the same that will be released on the 17th. Works just fine so far.
