Bought a new 3GS over the weekend, looks like I have new iBoot. Jailbreak works OK at the 2nd time of asking, but just realised 3GS is tethered JB only. I can get away with not turning if off, it's just if it hangs and I have to reboot it andI don't have a laptop anywhere near me it's going to be a pain. Geohot, you think RC3 will solve tethered issue for new 3GS ?

i thought 3GS isn't tethered? if you succeeded jailbreaking, then that's it.. good for you..

i m waitin for greenpois0n... but why doesnt Geohot just improve blackra1n so that we, the ipod touch 3g users, can restart the ipod as much as we like without ra1n. And the next ra1n-generation should interact better with 3rd-manufacturers software

Do not expect the unlock tool to come out for a while. I'd heard that some of those Developers were now hided to work for AT&T. Meanwhile keep your fingers accross and praise to God that he mayl appoint some one to continue this task. If you already have upgraded yours to 3.1.2 have fun with your ipot.

if you updated to 3.1.2 without using PwnageTool going back to 3.0 will not help. 3.1.2 upgraded the baseband and is not unlockable. Maybe in the future but not now. For now you have an iPod Touch unless an unlock is released or you use it with the sim that it's locked to.

I don't know if this what happen to you... But I've seen so many people that have an iPhone unlocked an for some reason updates the firm! Cone on people you are using something that's not offiicial, and it's working, why that Fu** do you need to upgrade something that's allready working?! Even though it has 10000 warnings not to do it! You got be a really newbie to do it! We are lucky to have the jailbreak! Next time, think first before you click in some upgrading button!
