This ver is the same as the leaked ver that came out 10 days ago. Apple gave it to all the DEVs to do a final test of all their apps, just to confirm everything is ok.
I've waited for the true ver of this and didnt want to installed the GM ver. |

Any word on Jailbreak for 3.0?
The quickpwn site has a beta 2, but not for the official 3.0, only for the pre-release version.
BTW - E2EK1EL, you said that the 6GB plan would be available on Friday for existing Rogers customers, is that to coincide with the tethering? |

* Only ultrasn0w is going to take til Friday to get pushed out. All of our other tools should be out pretty soon after the official Apple release.
* If you apply our jailbreak when it comes out, you can install ultrasn0w anytime after that. You obviously won’t have cell service in the meantime, though.
* This may in fact be directly applicable to the iPhone 3GS if it can be jailbroken, because it runs the same baseband version. Whether or not it can be jailbroken is a big question right now!
* If you’re on Twitter, please give @Oranav a pat on the back. He could have revealed the crash he found to Apple and maybe gotten quite an incentive in return. Instead, he told us about it so that we could work it into an injection vector for the soft unlock.

a)Don't use that site, Dev Team talked about it ... ppl are trying to make money off their work.
These are very exciting days ahead! WWDC, the new 3.0 firmware, the new iPhone2,1 device. All in the span of a month or two. Nobody is more excited than we are :)
Unfortunately, there are predators out there that are counting on your over-exuberance. Maybe we should call it yell0w fever. One very recent example is a certain yellowsn0w221 page on wordpress.com. Do not download anything from that page if you’re on a PC, else you’ll be infected with a virus. The page talks and talks about a supposed Firmware 2.2.1 yellowsn0w exploit, but it’s all a ruse to get you to download and infect your PC.
We’re used to (though still aren’t happy about) less predatory websites, like quickpwn.com. That site (1) is not us. We don’t consult with them in any way (2) makes money from their Google hits (they’re usually near the top) (3) sometimes gives very very bad advice (like tweeting yellowsn0w users to use QuickPwn on 3.0 betas. Bad suggestion). (4) also owns yellowsn0w.net, another money making website.
The wordpress page, though, is at another level. It’s out to 0wn your PC for spamming purposes. Please be on the lookout for any pages that mention “dev team” news that you don’t actually see on this blog first. We are very good at not leaking sensitive info (since that really wrecks this whole “cat&mouse” thing). So no blog or forum or youtube page would have any “insider” dev team knowledge that you won’t see announced here first.
About the unlock (the real yellowsn0w): you all paid lots of money for your iPhones, and so we know that if you are depending on a software unlock, this is a sensitive issue. It’s a very sensitive issue to us too, which is why we can’t say or release anything prematurely that could potentially compromise any 3.0 software unlock. The commenters on this blog that have high ratings (20 or above) understand this intimately so please listen to them when they try to assist those waiting for any unlock :)

b)It's mainly for tethering everyone is gonna use it for. |

Update 2 (Thursday morning):
* We have two issues that we’ve been trying to resolve:
1. There are new 3.0 complications with YouTube.app if you’re on a hacktivated (unofficially activated) device
2. There’s a bug in Apple’s new version of asr that our custom IPSW’s are tickling and causing crashes on, on some devices. (For the nerdy or curious among us, the details of that bug were tweeted by planetbeing a month ago.)
* As of Thursday morning we now have a workaround for #2. For #1, we’ll try our best to get it fixed but we may end up releasing a preliminary jailbreak in which YouTube doesn’t work for hacktivated devices, and then follow that up with a more complete jailbreak when we can.

Ugh, so I've totally screwed my new pearl (not flip). A few weeks ago, I dropped it and took it in to telus immediately and they ordered me a refurbished phone. I went to pick it up today and since the time I took it in originally, it's sustained water damage somehow and is now therefore not under warranty.
The phone still works perfectly fine and the screen is half functional (I can see the top half of it, bottom half is busted)
Options are either buy a new phone outright or find a third party to repair/replace the screen - suggestions? How much might a third party charge me? Any other alteratives? |

Try to find a used one off private listing or get a new unit. Not worth fixing |
