In many cases , the Cydia application fails to install or update apps after jailbreaking your Iphone with v3.0. There seems to be a conflict with the ICY and Cydia Apps installed on the jailbreak.

To fix:

1.       Backup your phone

2.       Re-jailbreak your phone using redsnow.

3.       Deselect Cydia,

4.       If you’d like ICY installed select ICY

5.       When the jailbreak completes, you should have a working install of ICY and Cydia.

Now that I've had the 3.0 firmware for a week, I'd like to share my first impressions.
I find 3.0 to be more stable than the 2.X versions. My Iphone no longer reboots itself throughout the day.
I love the cut and paste and new search capabilities as well as the tether. I also like the landscape keyboard, I no longer have to "fat finger" the tiny keyboard keys.
I love the support for my Bluetooth Stereo Headset for listening to Itunes, other audio apps, and taking phone calls.
I haven't much need for the voice recorder, though I Imagine others will.
What I don't like: Many of my Cydia apps will not install or update due to dependency issues. Looks like I might have to uninstall them and start over.
All in all increased stability, nice new features, doesn't play so nicely with Cydia.
Are you running 3.0? what do you think?

 
 

The release of Ultrasn0w, the software unlock for firmware v3.0, has been delayed. There is currently an issue with the unlock that disables the YouTube application. The Dev-Team are working on resolving the issues and hope to have it released soon.
redsn0w, which is currently out, provides a jailbreak for the new firmware and will include the Ultrasn0w unlock tool when it is released.
Before making any changes to your Iphone, I recommend reading the golden rules from the dev-team site.

  1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
  2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
  3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
  4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
  5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
  6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
  7. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
  8. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).
To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

 

 
 

A lot of people are impatiently waiting for the QuickPwn 3.0 download. Right now it is not up yet because the Dev Team is working hard on fixing bugs and bringing us a good jailbreak.

You can visit the QuickPwn Forums and also follow @QuickPwn on Twitter, or subscribe to QuickPwn YouTube channel for updates and download links.iPhone 3G users, remember: ultrasn0w will be released on Friday, so you won't be able to unlock iPhone 3G 3.0 until then.
