Is this a joke? All apps downloaded from the App store work perfectly fine on a jailbroken 3G iPhone. The app store is accessible and you can purchase or download free applications from the apps store.

If you decide to revert back just do a full restore from iTunes.

If you’re iPhone needs to go in for warranty just backup, restore and turn in for warranty repair. When you get it back, jailbreak and restore from backup.

Hi John,
Your experience, applications working on a jailbroken iPhone 3G sounds strange. For some reasons, it doesn’t work for me, may be something is wrong :-). Thanks for the comment

I just jailbroke my 3G in 2.1 and my old apps work perfectly fine. Cydia, Installer, and the App Store are all on my home screen and all fully functional. I haven’t needed to restore from a backup of my jailbroken iPhone so I can’t speak to that issue.

I think this article is Apple propaganda to the extreme cause non of the original post is true at all.

I jailbroke my Iphone 3g 16g about 2 months ago it’s been great I have tons of new apps, till recently my phone cant make no calls check my voicemail or look at my contacts, everything else works, fine I can recive calls only, can any one tell me what’s wrong with it how can I fix this pls asap….

Restore back to original OS using iTunes. Then jailbreak again and restore from backup. Although I would look at any apps you have installed recently that may of caused your phone to stop functioning.

hey chris i know what your going through a word of advice… STOP JAILBREAKING YOUR IPHONE!!! i did that i restored and restored and restored and guess what my phone does not work…and iTunes8 blocks the restoring of a jailbroken iphone/ipod touch! i need to get it fixed but dont know how

chris a i think i experienced the same problem. what i did was i uninstalled all the apps i had installed before the problem surfaced. and i discovered that it was the program kate. uninstall kate and youll be fine.

kate caused my iphone 3g to have problems with the contacts as well. deleted it and now everything is fine.

The same thing happened with my iPhone 3g after I installed Kate but I restored it and works again and you can restore a jailbroken iPhone 3g using iTunes 8

My apps did stop working once I jailbroken my phone, but once a downloaded a new apps from the apples store they all worked again and I have and iPhone 3G.

This HAS to be a Joke…The Pwnage Tool Was released by the iphonedevteam and works perfectly with ALL apps from app store and cydia sources. This is Apple propaganda if you ask me

pretty sure this was tongue in cheek, guess it worked

hey guys. i just jailbroke my iphone 3g and it worked perfectly for one night, the day after (today) it just freezes after 10 seconds of reboothing .. what should i do ??

I definitely believe the part about this possibly voiding your warranty with Apple, but with an iPhone 3G running 2.2 jailbroken by QuickPwn, you can still download apps from the appstore and use them. What may happen is that apps you have already downloaded will open and crash. To fix this, delete the app by going into shaky icons mode and clicking the x. You can then re-download the app through the appstore - the appstore even remembers apps that you’ve already purchased and gives you a simple confirmation screen to confirm that you want to download them again. No worries.

My iphone 3g starting going bad after Kate too.. If i restore do i lose the saved information in my programs??? I have sync it before the jailbreak

I jailbroke my Iphone, and now I cant restory it, wont even turn on till the main screen. error code(1611)from itunes, any1 knows how to fix it?

Kate is what causes it. Worked fine after uninstalling it and rebooting.

I want to restore my iphone but none of my backed up files are on itunes or in my computer. i really dont want to get the apps again and set it up again so what do i do? please help.

hi i jailbroke my iphone with OS 2.2.1 and firmware 2.30.03.
It went well and phone works still but i want to restore it back to factory settings.
Should i have jailbroke in the first place with that OS and firmware? and if not, will there be problems restoring? and if left jailbroken is it a matter of time before it breaks anyway. Thankyou in advance for any responses.

hi i’m using a jailbroken iphone the old one with the new software but when i put my orange sim card in it wont let me authorize it how do i get this to work let me know asap

Wait… does it actaully return the warranty after you restore it?

LISTEN UP!!!!!
I have worked for Apple for the last 8 yrs and moved on.
Jailbreaking is NOT ILLEGAL… Apple lost the court battle.
How ever if you Jailbreak your Iphone and it messes up with viruses or whatever. You can just restore it using Itunes Restore and it brings the phone back and you have to re-jailbreak it again.

Everything is backed up in Itunes or use an external drive to backup.

For Warranty yes if you bring it back in a Jailbreak mode you are screwed. You must remove all evidence of jailbreak software on your phone. (Restore it brings it back and bring it back for warranty)

However the 4g iphone due out summer 10. Apple has a new software system that can shut your Carrier down and the phone.
But wait. Are there back doors.. Yes.
