Download iPhone OS 3.0

Today, Apple released the iPhone OS 3.0 to the masses and at the moment you can update to iPhone OS 3.0 via iTunes only. but here we have come up with direct links to Download iPhone OS 3.0 for iPhone and iPod to your PC/Mac and then update it from that downloaded ipsw file.

iPhone OS 3.0 comes with more than 100 new features and some of them are what masses are curious to get into their iPhones. So, wait is over. Find the links to iPhone OS 3.0 of your concerned device below.

General Rules to Upgrading your Firmware:

  1. Back up your iPhone in iTunes first. If your phone is currently jailbroken and you have any apps hidden or in categories you will need to unhide them before making your back-up. This will avoid the “where are all my icons?” questions after you arrive at 3.0.
  2. If your phone is currently jailbroken you will need to use the RESTORE button, not the upgrade button. If you upgrade you will automatically lose about 500mb of disk space and never recover it until you finally restore. (This is due to Cydia moving files around). If your phone is not jailbroken then you can use the upgrade button without any issues.
  3. After you restore you can use your back-up in iTunes to get all your contacts, SMS, photos and App Store apps back. Do NOT ask about cracked apps!
  4. When you restore you will lose all your jailbroken apps which you will have to manually re-download from Cydia. Some apps are not 3.0 compatible yet.
  5. If you have an iPhone 3G this will upgrade your baseband and lock your phone. The unlock is not scheduled for release until Friday June 19th.
  6. If you have a first generation iPhone you can restore to 3.0 and re-jailbreak (when Quickpwn is updated). The baseband stays the same so you will not have to re-unlock.
  7. The initial release of Quickpwn and Pwnage Tool will be available for download on the iPhone Dev-Team blog. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

hi

can’t download 7a341 version. My xcode/organizer says

The version of iPhone OS on “Adv Svcs iPhone” does not match any of the versions of iPhone OS supported for development with this copy of Xcode. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below. If necessary, the latest version of Xcode is available here.

Whats going on?
