    the only trial and error right now is with 3gs phones, most of the apps in cydia were written for 3g and before 3.0 os version. So there will be a bunch of trial and error for anyone with a 3.0 os and or a 3gs. From here on out most apps will be written for 3.0 OS.

    Your wallpaper app wont work because it relies on winterboard which has not yet been udpated for 3.0 software.

    ok. i see that there's a crack for jailbreaking your 3gs phone to 3.1 now. the only thing is it's via redsn0w and ownage tool and blah blah blah.............i jailbroke mine with purplera1n and that dude doesn't feel like finding the crack, so how do i go about making the switch to redsn0w? do i just do a backup then restore my phone and then install redsn0w. i couldn't find a way to uninstall so i'm assuming a simple restore will do. i understand i'm loosing all jailbroken apps. i'll post this in 2 threads.

    Has redsn0w been updated? I know you can jailbreak 3GS with PwnageTool (only for Mac). There hasn't been a windows version to my knowledge.

    You can however find many custom ipsws created from users who jailbroke their 3.1 firmware with Macs online, and use that firmware to restore in iTunes, jailbreaking the phone. I've been too lazy myself.

    I'm on T-Mobile and still have a 2G. I recently updated on iTunes 'cause I heard picture messaging became available (obviously, overlooking the fact that my phone couldn't support that) and now the browser/anything internet-related is completely disabled. Is there still a jailbreak option for my out-of-date iPhone?

    Also, outta curiosity, anybody ever had a problem unlocking the phone? Occasionally, I'll press the bottom button to unlock it, and the touch screen is not responsive at all. Someone will call, and I can't answer. Fixable or is my phone just plain broke?

    For someone who doesn't have an iphone, reading this thread is like trying to decipher military code transmissions.

    the picture messaging update is an AT&T carrier setting update.

    Lots of reason, tons of apps that you can get that you can't get on the apple store. Wallpapers. Skype over 3g basicly giving you unlimited minutes for cheap.

    The ability to try all of those paid apps before you buy and find out you wasted money.

    I could go on and on but you are missing out on a whole other experience.

    Plus, also apps you can't use in certain countries if you are trying to get them from App Store (like the CNN app I got from Appulous)

    One thing I found out the hard way on jailbreaking. I was using the categories app with the jailbreak, and I had a bunch of programs separated into them. I restored my phone to update to 3.1, and I lost all those programs that were in the categories. They were still showing as synced to the phone, but they weren't being found.

    I had to restore it to an earlier version.

    So, if you're using categories and you're going to restore/update - take everything out of the categories first.
