Certain iPhone users will appreciate the release of ultrasn0w version 0.9 from the dev team. This update appears to have eliminated most of the prior issues some users were reporting. The dev team also provided a few tips of the more common questions, below are a few:
- Unusual battery depletion is almost always caused by people choosing to “Restore from backup”instead of “Setup as new iPhone” when iTunes asks you. This isn’t caused by either the jailbreak or the unlock, but it’s a common 3.0 snafu. The fix is to just re-run the official 3.0 restore and choose “Setup as new” this time. Your music and apps and all that will still be synced, but you’ll get rid of any conflicting wifi, bluetooth, or carrier settings. Then just re-run redsn0w and install ultrasn0w.
- Remember, ultrasn0w works with hacktivated phones too, but don’t outsmart redsn0w into thinking you don’t need hacktivation! If you don’t plan on using an official sim, don’t activate via iTunes with such a sim. Just keep your unofficial sim at all times and let redsn0w and ultrasn0w handle hacktivation
- Don't eat ultra yellow sn0w (j/k, this is my tip)
