The new iPhone OS 3.0.1 that fixes the SMS vulnerability that allowed hackers to gain control of your iPhone can be jailbroken using the same procedure as the previous 3.0 jailbreak. You do need to use the latest version of Redsn0w 0.8. I have updated all the download links to the new version.

After you have updated your iPhone to 3.0.1 you can follow these instructions exactly to jailbreak it.

When you come to the step where you browse for your firmware, you want to select the 3.0 firmware that you downloaded, even though you are running 3.0.1  This will trick Redsn0w into jailbreaking 3.0.1.

When you are done, you will be jailbroken running 3.0.1 and be totally safe from the SMS hack.

First, you need to download these 2 files:
(All downloads require login)

Redsn0w 0.8 for Mac OS X: Redsn0w 0.8 iPhone 3G[s] (Mac OS X) (241)

iPhone 3G[s] 3.0 firmware: iPhone 3G[s] 3.0 Restore Firmware .ipsw (679)

Once you have saved these files to your desktop for easy access, we will begin the jailbreak process.

Today on this 4th day of July we in the US celebrate our Independence Day.  This is a great time to get outdoors and spend time with family and friends.  What better way to get everyone together than breaking out the grill and having a BBQ.

Get outside and away from your computer, but that doesn’t mean you have to totally disconnect from from technology, as long as you have your trusty iPhone.

It has been confirmed that the Ultrasn0w unlock app for the iPhone 3G does in fact work for the iPhone 3G[s] as well.  You do need to jailbreak first with Geohot’s Purplera1n solution.

Purplera1n does not activate your phone so you will need a legit AT&T sim card in order to jailbreak, but then you can unlock with Ultrasn0w, availble in Cydia, then slip in your T-Mobile sim.
