@DAC,

No idea about the problem and probably it’s not due to jailbreaking. Did you try to upgrade to iTunes 9?

Hi Simon, hope u r having a great weekend..
I’m a bit tired after stressing hours trying to upgrade & jailbreak my 2g iphone to 3.0.1.. finally did it but i have some weird issue that not sure how fix now. After all the redsn0w jailbreaking (successfully so far), i tried to restore from backup (normal stuff, right?) but after the whole process was almost finished itunes told me that “my iphone cannnot be synced because i have not sufficient privileges to do so”!!???
This happened as well a few times before but only after my itunes was upgraded to 8.2.1, nothing major back then but now that i start from scratch and wanted to put all my info back on the phone itunes is not letting me do it.. the weird thing is that it looks like it’s working, i have the progress bar running, files being copied, apps being transfered, etc… but after all that it tells me it cannot be done..
Any idea why this could be happening, or most important, any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks a lot…

@TSH, yes. That’s true. iPhone Dev team has confirmed on that:

1. Unlocked users on the 3G will probably notice that the name and/or logo of their carrier is missing, but they still have full bars and a signal. So far this seems to be purely a cosmetic issue and it doesn’t impact your signal or coverage.

Hi Simon,

I’m using iPhone 3G with official carrier, is it normal that the carrier logo will disappear after jailbreaking OS3.1?

can’t seem to get the “On File” section to work……the hosts file cannot be modified. Simon, do you have a more detailed guide?

Thanks!!!

Made it with no problem just like previous ones

Pay attention that some winterboard dependable apps will cause some substrate panics and you will have to be uninstall them manually until the updates from their manufacturers have been released in cydia. To name a few: Backgrounder, Boss preferences, Weather Icon. Also pay attention that if you have any of the five icon apps installed you will not be able to sync it with I tunes new sync method. It will not crash but the apps on you iphone will be messed up on each page..

The rest is up and running. Did not noticed any improvement on the battery as well as global heat is the same as before on 3.0.

Saurik updated today the Mobile Substrate as well as Cydia so everything running smoothly has before.
