So now that you've downloaded and installed the iPhone OS 3.0 thanks to the Golden Master IPSW being leaked into the torrent world, you're probably thinking it's about time to jailbreak your cool new iPhone 3.0. You probably even did some google searches about jailbreaking the 3.0 and found some highly confusing information (some of it says 3.0 is jailbreakable, other info says it's not.) Well we did some extensive research, and here is what you need to know.
Note: We are talking about the iPhone OS 3.0 Golden Master "7A341". We are not talking about the iPhone 3.0 beta versions (max beta 5) that were released to registered iPhone developers for testing.
Update: How To Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0 Using Pwnage Tool 3.0
information below mostly is not applicable anymore.
The beta versions of the iPhone 3.0 have been leaked as well. These are much buggier than the iPhone OS 3.0 GM (which is literally the same thing as what will be released on June 17th).
The iPhone 3.0 BETA VERSIONS (beta 5) are indeed jailbreakable and unlockable.
There is no official jailbreaking of the iPhone 3.0 7A341 (which is the official version you got via torrent.) You may find information claiming that you can do it by QuickPwn the same way you would jailbreak the iPhone 3.0 beta 5 version, but this is not true. Doing this leads to the "pink screen of death", and you have to restore your phone completely.
iPhone 3G users that have unlocked phones will lose their unlock when updating to iPhone 3.0 because it updates the baseband.
iPhone 2G users can do whatever they want. Nothing will break the unlock for 2G (original iPhone) users because the baseband is not altered. iPhone 2G users can update their phone's to the iPhone OS 3.0 7A341, and jailbreak, and unlock. It works with xxxxxx. Better yet, wait till Friday, June 19th for Dev-Team to release official tools.
If you are an iPhone user that has updated their iPhone to OS 3.0 "7A341" (check Settings>>General>>About>>Version to verify this is what you have) then you must wait for the iPhone Dev Team's official jailbreak. All speculation leads us to believe that it will be available in one week.

So far I like 3.0, but I’m frustrated that MMS is now included and doesn’t work…. in fact, from what I have gathered about the reason it doesn’t work, I am now confused because I can’t even get the phone to let me place a photo in a message (using the new “messaging” app). I read somewhere that the problem was AT&T had to fix all the iPhone accounts that they disabled MMS on to begin with, but if that was the only reason then shouldn’t I still be able to send an MMS if only to get an error message in return? I have grown to hate AT&T and when my contract is up for my (now old) 3G i’m going to switch networks. there is no reason for the constraint they have place, I can just put the sim card in my Tilt and tether that way…….
I have a question. I have a 2g now unlocked & activated running 3.0 gm. You say above that people with 2g phones can jailbreak them via quickpwn rc3.. in the guide I read that showed me how to install 3.0 via quickpwn said NOT TO CHECK OFF CYDIA & INSTALLER.. Is that the only way to jailbreak it on a 2g??
The link you have posted is indeed linked to a version of QuickPwn labeled as a release candidate but it doesn’t in any way support firmware version 3.0 especially not the Gold Master. When you read the readme file and use the program none of the files have been updated to list support for any version of firmware past 2.0.1
Check your sources because the PwnmetheusBundles folder doesn’t contain any source files for a firmware higher than 2.0.1_5B108
this article = FAIL!
iphone is unlock and works fine for mi!!
i wait for jailbreake!

OS 3.0 is a large anti climax. the only new feature of noteable use is MMS, the other stuff is all fiddly crap which just complicates the iphone. Im SUPER dissappointed that theres no video in the 3.0 update that was why i DIDNt jailbreak my phone.
Dev team cant wait for the 3.0 update to finally break and get video on my phone!!!!
Hey,

I have been searching for 8 hours straight on how to fix my iphone 2g that i accidentally updated to the os 3.0. I now can only make emergency calls from my phone
