iPhone 3.0.1 iTunes update
Other, iPhone, iPhone 3G S, iPhone OS 3 | Hans | July 31, 2009 at 3:18 pmRemember that iPhone virus we wrote about here yesterday? Guess what, Apple has finally patched it! Today Apple released iPhone 3.0.1 which patches the exploit. Security expert Charlie Miller demonstrated the iPhone SMS Exploit in the Black Hat conference just yesterday, and It would of taken hackers at least two weeks to come up with a virus.
I knew Apple would come up with a patch, but I’m surprised that they were able to release it right after the day Charlie Miller revealed the exploit. Charlie Miller had notified Apple 6 weeks ago and they didn’t do anything.
If you’re an iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPhone 3GS user you must update to iPhone 3.0.1, iPhone 3G 3.0.1, or iPhone 3GS 3.0.1 firmware.
How to update to iPhone 3.0.1
1. Connect your iPhone to your PC
2. Launch iTunes and click Check for updates
3. Click Update
4. An iPhone OS 3.0.1 software update box should show up, click Next. Read the license agreement (if you want) then click Agree and your download will start.
5. The file size is 297.7 MB. Once the iPhone 3.0.1 firmware is finished downloading it will install on your iPhone. This update just fixes the SMS vulnerability, and it is highly recommended you update!

hi I installed itunes latest version on my iphone 2G today after that the program told if i want to updated to to firmware latest version 3.1.2. after i finished the installation i can access the iphone and i tunes replies me that i have to change my sim card.
what can i do or i can downgraded to the previous version of the phone
Dude, you are ******. By up-grading to the firmware 3.1.2, you have successfully changed the base-band coding. Thus, you cannot jail-break or upgrade yuet.
Need some help please. I have an original iPhone, running 2.2.1, unlocked and jailbroken. I did not do the original unlock, I got it that way.
I want to upgrade to version 3. Can I take this older phone to 3.1.2 or should I stop at 3.0.1?
I have iTunes 8.2 installed. I resisted their offers to upgrade to version 9 cause I thought 8.2 is probably what I wanted to get this done.
I think if I just hit upgrade in iTunes I will get 3.1.2 and a new baseband and be screwed. So I have not done that, and that is what I need help with.
Since iTunes is goind to put a newer version in than I want, I need to do a restore instead, right?
So how do I do this? Do I restore it to 3.0.1 by putting the phone in the restore mode, and then unlock it and jailbreak it with redsn0w 0.8?
Then can I restore my apps, contacts, music etc with iTunes from the old backup?
Can someone please give me the exact steps to do all this?
And can I then go from 3.0.1 to 3.1.2 or should I wait?
thanks!!!
Can the ipad be used to update the iphone
software????? Thanks! =)
