just because what everyone is saying is to use RC2 or RC3. One of the first things I read is that it doesn't work on the new quickpwn

just booted up in 3.0... IT WORKS! Using Quickpwn RC3

thnx to ARB for this

Downgrade to 2.0.2 in DFU
Jailbreak with quickpwnRC2 (RC3 worked for me... RC2 didnt) (i did not include cydia as it will be deleted anyway when upgrading to 3.0)
Setup as a new iphone in itunes
Use the UPGRADE feature to upgrade to 3.0
Voila, activation is still there

every new version of quickpwn is backward compatible with older firmware:
From 2.2.5-2 readme.txt:

dtube, what he is trying to say, is that the activation of quickpwnr c2 or quickpwn rc3 is different from the activatiom of the newest quickpwn, regardless of it being backward compatible.
This "other" activation process remain in 3.0fw, while the activation from the newest quickpwn is lost in the update.

Arb, do you know if there is any quickpwn for mac that i can use to pwn my 2.0.2 phone?and then still have the activation in 3.0?

thanks,
Abras

Hum...
I guess I don't understand the scope of this discussion.
What I am reading here is if you downgrade to 2.0.2, the new latest quickpwn does not work because activation is different ?

I can't get this to work on my iPhone 3G. I keep getting the message that my phone is not a part of the Dev Program.

Any devs here, willing to add my phone to their dev account for a small fee?

dtube,

the "does not work" from the latest quickpwn, is that the activation made by it, wont remain after updating to 3.0.
Just tested it, and they are right. Had to downgrade to 2.0.2, quickpwn, update to 3.0 and got it working. And going from 2.2 directly to 3.0 would ask me to activate the phone.

anyone having issues syncing their music with 3.0?? Im having serious issues and I dunno if its itunes or what.

So, just to sum it up...
iPhone 2G owners will be able to upgrade with no troubles at all, 3G owners won't be able to sync with iTunes and will require to be authorized iPhone developers.

Both can downgrade in case something goes wrong (3G baseband excluded).

Correct?

I am trying this method again. The first time around I got to 3.0 just fine (and activated!) but was stuck without bars (no bars, not No Signal).

I am going to DFU restore back to 2.0.2 and let iTunes activate before jailbreaking with Quickpwn. Hopefully this will resolve my no bars issue.

Does anyone have any idea if this is correct? I am on AT&T, so I didn't select Unlock the first time around.

EDIT: Yep, did the trick.
