Dev Team announces 3.0-compatible jailbreak tools

As the night follows the day, surely an updated Pwnage tool must follow the release of a new iPhone operating system. True to form, the dedicated hackers of the iPhone Dev Team have posted a blog entry detailing the steps needed to jailbreak (and, in some cases, unlock) iPhones running the new software.

There are quite a few caveats and qualifications with this stage of the tool release; in particular, it won't work with 2nd-gen iPod touch devices, nor with the new 3G S phones. If you have unlocked your phone using the yellowsn0w tools, you are advised not to use this version of Pwnage as your phone will relock back to the original carrier assignment.

It should go without saying, but we'll say it: jailbreaking or unlocking your phone is done at your own risk.

in case anyone is wondering, this works on unibody macbooks. at least it did on my macbook5,1. there were issues with the previous version of pwnage tool for iphone 2.x software not working on unibody macs. looks like the dev team figured their way around that snag. awesome!

Just jailbroke my iPhone 2G. Noticed that the OS 3.0 runs very smooth and also seems to be faster to start the native camera application. However there seems to be problem with some other camera applications that don't work yet with OS 3.0, like Pano, which is my favourite app. Take a look Hereford more details

On an original iPhone (2G), used Pwnage, worked great and now I'm on 3.0.

Can't seem to figure out how to get my wallpaper back on my homescreen like in 2.1

Is winterboard from 2.1 still active? I tried installing a new version from Icy but it doesn't seem
to do anything?

I have a first gen iPhone. I'm unlocked and jailbroken using 2.2.1 software. I used QWKPWN to unlock. What are the specific steps to upgrading to v3.0 unlocked and jailbroken?

Thanks!

Does this jailbreak allow the cydia cycorder or the dreamcatcher video recorder or do they too have to update their respective apps to have it work with this 3.0 OS?
