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.
Following these directions will result in a jailbroken iPhone 3G[s]. The iPhone must be running 3.0 firmware. I recommend backing up your iPhone with iTunes before we start, just in case something goes awry.
First, you need to download these 2 files:

Rock Your Phone has released a new app called MyWi. MyWi allows you to turn your iPhone 3G into a WiFi Hotspot that you can connect multiple devices to. MyWi can connect your laptop to the internet through WiFi, bluetooth, or directly through USB. The app only works with the iPhone 3G at the moment, but they are working on adding the iPhone 3G[s] to the supported devices. UPDATE: It seems that if you install RockYourPhone from Cydia instead of the desktop application, it works with the iPhone 3G[s]. Read the rest of this entry
The first screenshot of a jailbroken iPhone 3G[s] using Winterboard to theme the UI has surfaced on Twitter. A tweet from p0sixninja, member of the iPhone Dev-Team, shows a fully themed iPhone 3G[s] complete with custom icons, background, and dock. Read the rest of this entry
Independent filmmaker Steve Ellington has released the first music video shot entirely with the iPhone 3G[s] and its 3MP video camera. The video depicts the plight of a little wind up robot and its attempt to stay relavent among the growing technological world. The video is set to music by XFYA whose members include Ellington, Shaun Haber, Dave Lanni, and Sean Sepulveda.
Ellington makes use of the spot focus available with the new iPhone 3G[s] camera. He accentuates many scenes by panning from an out of focus background to the in focus robot. The quality of the video is not the best in the world but has its own character.
With the huge insurgence of YouTube uploads since the release of the iPhone 3G[s], I expect to see a lot of more videos made with the device.
This video comes from YouTube user KhenaKara. He apparently took his brand new iPhone 3G[s] on vacation with him and was taking video poolside when the unthinkable happens; his iPhone decided it wanted to take a dip. Many have cried foul on this, seeing that tons of iPhones have died from much less water contact.
KhenaKara explains that he did have a rubber case on the phone. Many commenters pointed out that you can see a camera strap so he uploaded a video of the case and strap. He explains that he has the strap wrapped on the rubber case and clearly shows how in the case video.
If this is a fake, it is a pretty good one. After watching I have the feeling that this might be true. I implore that you do not try to re-create this yourself. The iPhone is not waterproof; this may be the .1% that will survive a skinny dip like this.
AT&T has released it’s re-branded TeleNav mobile navigation software, AT&T Navigator for iPhone. TeleNav also partners with competitors Sprint and Verizon with their GPS solutions: Sprint Navigator and VZ Navigator. The app itself is available free in the AppStore, but in order to use the service it will cost you $9.99 a month as an add on to your data plan. The monthly fee does include free map updates and live traffic updates. If you do not use GPS all the time you can start and stop the subscription at any time. Read the rest of this entry
