iPhone-OS-3-0-Download Finally iPhone OS 3.0 arrives officially on Apple Download Center you can download it free for Your iPhone 2G, 3G and 3G S but you have to pay $10 for your iPod Touch. I am using final version of OS 3.0 on my iPhone 2G with an unofficial carrier(Unlock iPhone 2G OS 3.0 7A341 Final Version) from the last week and i can assure you OS 3.0 is worth to upgrade. OS 3.0 update includes some great new features we are dreaming since very first iPhone like Voice control and ability to cut, copy n paste. The most awaited feature for non jailbreaker is MMS and Tethering jailbreakers are enjoying these features from a long ago. But still there are lots of reasons to jailbreak OS 3.0 Now the time is to make your iPhone more feature rich with the following new features and application.

    Currently, I am using 2G Iphone with firmware 2.2.

    If I update to OS 3.0, do I get to use MMS? Or do I need to stay with SwirlyMMS. Since MMS is supported by OS3.0, are we going to say goodbye to Swirly?

    Is this the official release from Apple for the os 3.0 upgrade for iPhone?

    Has the links been updated?

  • Vinay (author) said:

    @ Zuhldar the download comes directly from the house of Apple don’t worry just choose your poison and download forever.

  • Vinay (author) said:

    @ Linus MMS and tethering support is for iPhone 3G OS 3.0 only. Lets hope Swirly and PDANet to get updated very soon.

  • zuhldar said:

    Yo Vinay, Installed it and it works like a charm…2 questions though…after I installed it iTunes told me…”Congratulations, your iPhone has now been unlocked” …as far as I know my phone was not locked…what does this mean?
    I have used it on other networks when traveling abroad and used the local networks’ simcards in my phone.

    1. Is the version you download from here the same as the one you download through iTunes?
    2. My Carier is Vodacom SA, in South Africa, and the network does support MMS(Had it and used it on must of my previous phones), but for some reason the photo button does not appear.Any advice ?

  • zuhldar said:

    No worries…fugured out the MMS… :D

    “not happy”

  • Vinay (author) said:

  • Ron said:

    When it downloads Safari unzips it and the .ipsw becomes a folder with a different name that redsn0w doesn’t recognize. How do I get the right format?

  • Vinay (author) said:

    @ Ron & Everyone who uses Mac & Safari : If you are using Safari and want to download a .ispw follow this guide to change a setting and everything will be good.
    Open Safari.
    Go to the menu bar (top of your screen) and Click Safari.
    Select Preferences.
    Go to General.
    Uncheck the Open “safe” files after downloading box.
    Close preferences and find your firmware above here and download it.

    I have an iP{hone 2G Edge. It was running 2.2.1. I had unlocked it in January with Pwnage 2.2.5 with Mac )S 10.5.

    I have been struggling to get my iphone working. With Red snow it goes through and says done click finish then the iphone display remains the same “Downloading Jailbreak Data but it does that forever.

    I have also unsuccessfully tried Pwnage 3.0 but that caused it to be stuck in Recovery or boot mode then the recovery would come up and nothing would happen.

    Then uses pwnage 2,2,,5 go through and do restore, restore and update and iTunes ends with error code 23 or 1600. I have tried just about all of the USB ports.

    I am about to run through every .ipsw file with itunes 8.2 with each usb port but it is so frustrating.

    Please help.

  • WF said:

    I have run this redsnow twice now. I get all the way to th ewaiting for reboot. The program says it will take 5 to 8 minutes but when I get to that window it takes forever. Much longer than 8 minutes. There is a bar at the bottom of the window that looks like a progress bar and it doesn’t show any progress at all. Is it supposed to? What could be wrong?
    My phone is 2G version 3.0(7A341)
    Thanks!

  • KG said:

    I have the same exact problem as WF. I’ve used redsn0w almost seven times now [following each direction PRECISELY as specified] and it NEVER loads. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

    I have a 2G and it has the new 3.0 firmware. I have the correct redsn0w downloaded and everything is in its correct place. Let me know what I’m doing?

    @ Mauro Don’t do double click just connect your iPhone to computer then launch iTunes. In first windows press shift+restore button and locate the firmware file you downloaded.

    I am going to explain how you change it to the .ipsw.

    Ok first

    You have go to folder options, on vista( my computer>organize>folder and search options) and then go to view tab uncheck hide extensions for unknown files click apply and then hit ok

    and then close my computer and then right click on the zip file, take out the .zip at the end and type .ipsw instead of it :) there it is!!!!
