Hi Guys,
I got a new 3GS and jailbroke it following this tutorial
on iClarified..... How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS on OS 3.0.x Using RedSn0w (Windows)

In the about section i see:
Version 3.0 (7A341)
Modem Firmware 04.26.08

I dont want to do anything to my iphone that is irreversible back to the original firmware.
Can I use iTunes with my iPhone?
Will it automatically upgrade?
What are the "safety measures" if I want to download unofficial apps etc...

Thanks.

Yes

Will it automatically upgrade?

No

What are the "safety measures" if I want to download unofficial apps etc...

Well I don't think there is anything safe about downloading unofficial apps. Thats why they are unofficial.

ok thanks!
Should I How to Capture my iBEC and iBSS?
What if something goes wrong? How can I restore and still be able to jailbreak?
Can safely restore to 3.0 and never go 3.1 or will restoring always force 3.1 from now on?
Should I disable Autoupdate on itunes?
I am confused by this whole story and dont want to brick my phone...

What to do when jailbreaking:

1. Jailbreak.
2. Download packages (apps).
3. ....
4. Profit.

wow....thanks!

 

[lionheartednyhc]

wow....thanks!

anytime

As for restoring back to 3.0, I do not think it is possible at the moment. You will be forced to go to 3.1. Watch sauriks twitter for updates..

ok cool,,,i think I am about to be enlightened....so basically I should be careful not to f*** anything up with my iphone so I dont need to restore as any restore via iTunes will force me to go 3.1 and that will premanently prohibit my iphone from jbing, correct?

how about backing up iBEC and IBSS and all that jazz, is this relevant for me?
