I’ve been getting a lot of comments and e-mails from people asking about the iPhone 3.0 release time and how to update to iPhone 3.0 and thought it would be useful to make a short FAQ post to answer everyone’s questions.

1. When will the iPhone 3.0 firmware update be released?

The iPhone 3.0 software update will be released tomorrow, June 17th, 2009.

2. How do I update to iPhone  3.0?

Just plug in your iPhone or iPod Touch, open the iTunes application and then click “Check for Update”. iTunes will check for the latest iPhone 3.0 update and let you download the appropriate firmware for your device.

3. Do I need to pay for iPhone 3.0?

iPhone 3.0 firmware will be completely free for all iPhone owners. iPod Touch owners will have to pay an extra $9.95 fee to download the iPhone 3.0 Update.

4. Will I be able to jailbreak iPhone 3.0? When will the jailbreak be released?

Yes,  thanks to the iPhone Dev Team you will be able to jailbreak iPhone 3.0 firmware on all iPhones and iPod Touches except for iPhone 3G S. You will not be able to jailbreak or unlock the new iPhone 3G S yet. The iPhone Dev Team plans to release the jailbreak after the iPhone 3.0 update is released. Just keep checking back here if you want to download the jailbreak, I’ll make a post with the download links once it’s out.

5. Will I be able to unlock iPhone 3.0?

Yes, you will be able to unlock iPhone 3.0 using the Dev Team’s yellowsn0w software. yellowsn0w works with the latest baseband and it’s safe to update.  @MuscleNerd will be doing a live demo of this on his twitter feed today, feel free to watch it!

If you have any other questions relating to iPhone OS 3.0, please post it in the iPhone OS 3.0 forums.

    I’m pretty new to updating so I was wondering if and when the 3.0 jailbreak is released, do I have to re-jailbreak it the same way as the very first time? Also, will I lose all my installed apps and settings when I “update/jailbreak”?

  5. Sam says:

    I DON’T recomend anyone to upgrade it’s really slow and they didn’t even make me pay. I have an iPod Touch 2G and it’s slower then the beta it’s horibble!!!!!!

  6. ThatGuy says:

    I think people should be patient when waiting for the release of the new quickpwn. The team is probably making sure that it doesn’t brick your $400 phone. Patience people and stop asking when it’s going to come out. Just keep checking back here

    (WTF is taking so long for the jailbreak for 3.0 os I hear it’s amazing but I just can’t wait I want it now).

    Man the first thing I say is that without some geniuses were not for them I would not but said that it would benefit in a few hours after the update so, does it? I think I am wrong or not. I went to the 19:00 local time in Spain is now 2:50 at night, I’m hoping that escape without sleep and I have all the patience of the world as if you get the leak within a week rather because the I’m going to get without any charge from them and I will Join his work without any effort but please only ask for information you have to think how many people awake waiting for news that will not only ask because I want to drain fast when quite the opposite will leave.

    I just want to say thank you to the Dev Team and all the hard work they do to make sure we can jailbreak. I really appreciate everything you guy/gals do and I appreciate the fact that you do not stick it to us with high fees for the services you provide.

    And While I am anxious, I for one, will patiently wait for the new release.

    Thank you Dev Team!.

  11. Will says:

    totally agree with Rev and Chip. Just wait ladies and gents, your phone will be jailbroken soon enough, but for now just scroll through your stock ring tones, an look at your black back ground and then when it is released make sure you thank the dev team because at the end of the day, they didnt have to do it, and they sure didnt have to do it for free. Your phones will be personalized the way you like them in good time patience is a virtue

    Updated to os 3.0 earlier today and have to say, although its a nice addition, i am a little underwhelmd so far -.-’ definetly over rated. The extra speed and generaly slicker slightely more responsive nature of os 3.0 are nice touches mind. When i can jailbreak this sucker is going to change the game though, cant wait to jailbreak again man :D

  14. hackedup says:

    I still have 2.2.1 jailbreak installed and was wondering if I updated to the regular 3.0 os that I would still be able to jailbreak as soon as it’s released and have no complications. I ask because I remember for the 2.2.1 jailbreak we were told not to update until the jailbreak was released.

  15. hackedup says:

    I also wanted to give credit to everyone involved in making this jailbreak possible. Much love from Virginia.

  17. Erik says:

    I recently downloaded the 3.0 upgrade. When my phone goes into standby black screen and then I bring it back out of standby, the wi-fi connection doed not connect back to the router automatically. I have to manually reconnect the router. Does anyone else have that issue?
