\"iphone-3-new-1\"<\/a>First off, I’m not your typical user, and if you read my blog you would know this; I use jailbreak and LOVE it. However, I also cannot\u00a0resist experimenting with the iPhone, so once I felt satisfied I heard the jailbreak for 3.0 was relatively stable, I decided to go for it. \u00a0However, just as an experiment, I’m NOT going to jailbreak for a few days and see if I miss it. (I already know I will , but like any research type, the experiment must be preformed).<\/p>\n

{<\/em>update <\/em><\/span>… I did not last more to 15 seconds. As soon as I turned on the phone, I wanted to enable WIFI and forgot I could not simply swipe to get the WIFI button. 15 seconds. \u00a0Yes, without jailbreak, the iphone is just… just.. andriod. XD \u00a0}<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, on to the upgrade. Here is how I did it<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I removed any application that I KNOW I will want not need once I upgrade. \u00a0There are two reasons for this. \u00a0First, I need to backup the phone, install 3.0 and thus reinstall my apps. \u00a0The more apps you have, the longer all this will take. I also cleaned out my music and photos to make the builds and restores faster. Plus, you will be surpised how much junk you have. I do this from iTunes BTW, not the phone.<\/li>\n
  2. Make SURE you have synced your address book. \u00a0Dont want to lose that. \u00a0If you have games, you should SSH into your phone and get the files. I do not have any games that I really care about, so I dont mind losing game data. \u00a0Same thing with Notes. \u00a0Make sure you copy them out.. By hand.. After 3.0 notes will be synced.<\/li>\n
  3. Ok, REALLY important. If you are using Folder, MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOU ICONS OUT. \u00a0If not, you will lose them when you restore until you get SBSettings reinstalled. ( I blew this part \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  4. 2X check your sync settings on itunes and sync twice. Just in case.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to iTunes and check for updates. \u00a0It will offer 3.0. \u00a0Go ahead and install.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ok. \u00a0So we are ready for jailbreaking. \u00a0All you need is either PwnageTool 3.0<\/a> or QuickPWN<\/a> (not ready last I checked). \u00a0I used PwnageTool myself. \u00a0Basically this install worked just like PwnageTool always works but I still like to follow a tutorial, and I always turn to iClarified. Here is the link to PwnageTool 3.0\u00a0tutoria<\/a>l.<\/p>\n

    A few things the tutorial misses though..<\/p>\n
