Love, Love, Love. This is the title of a new song by Reyna Perez, whose music video was shot entirely with the new iPhone 3GS. The movie you see below was completed in about a week. Amazing.

Great news for all iPhone 3GS users. DevTeam updated ultrasn0w, software that unlocks iPhone with firmware 3.0. Now it supports iPhone 3GS!

Avaliable in Cydia, repo: repo666.ultrasn0w.com

Here are quick instructions:

1. Ensure you have firmware 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone using redsn0w (this will also install Cydia)
3. Run Cydia
4. Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
8. Enjoy
9. If you have any problems reset your network settings (it helped many users): Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings

Redsn0w, jailbreak tool from DevTeam, is updated to version 0.8. This is for firmware 3.0 and now it supports:

• iPhone 2G - jailbreak and unlock
• iPhone 3G - jailbreak, use ultrasn0w for unlock
• iPod Touch - jailbreak
• iPod Touch 2G - jailbreak
• iPod Touch 3GS - jailbreak, use ultrasn0w (version 0.8 and higher) for unlock

You should use it instead of purplera1n tool to jailbreak and activate iPhones and iPods.

Reports of overheating and discoloration on the new white iPhone 3GS have been circulating over the past week or so, but a new report [Google translation] from frenchiPhone claims that the discoloration is due to contact with some third-party cases and not associated with overheating. The discoloration reportedly can be removed by wiping the back of the iPhone with alcohol.

George Hotz has released his much anticipated Mac OS X version of purplea1n - jailbreak software for iPhone 3GS.

PwnageTool, the program to unlock and jailbreak iPhone 2G and 3G and jailbreak for the iPod Touch developed by DevTeam, was recently updated to version 3.01. This is a technical update:

• resolves compatibility issues related to PPC (Mac OS X)
• adds Icy

You can download the new version of PwnageTool from here. This update is not for 3.1 firmware and is not for iPhone 3GS, it will not unlock your iPhone 3G - use redsn0w, purplera1n and other tools.

Geohot released a beta software for iPhone 3GS jailbreak called PurpleRa1n. It is beta and has some issues, but it gets the job done if you’re patient.

Requirements: You must have
1) Windows xp sp2, Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS
2) iTunes 8.2.0.23
3) Purplera1n software

The jailbreak is a bit incomplete. The kernel vm_mem patch is not present so Winterboard will not work as some other critical tweaks. (SBSettings does work!).

Use with caution and be patient. If you're not in a hurry, wait for the release from DevTeam.
