iTunes 10.3.1 is now available for download

Apple just released iTunes 10.3 during the WWDC on June 6th.  A lot of users were getting "unknown error (-50)" errors while trying to Sync their iOS devices.  iTunes 10.3.1 is suppose to fix that issue.

As far as 10.3 & 10.3.1 being safe for JailBreakers... I am not 100% sure.  Everything I have read on the Internet is pointing to YES, IT'S SAFE... but don't take my word for it until you have heard it straight from either DEV-TEAM or @MuscleNerd.

Finally got with the times & installed iOS 4.3.3...

Now that it's official, and iCloud beta is out for iOS 4.3.3 via iTunes 10.3... I have been wanting to give it a try.  I have personally been running a JailBroken 3gs on iOS 4.2.1 pretty much ever since it came out.  I have never seen a "GOOD" reason to update; until now.

This was by far the most "TESTING" JB I have ever done.  I started with an iPhone 3gs, JailBroken on iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to use PwnageTool_4.3.3 & PwnageTool_4.3.3.1, with no avail.  YES, I know how to use both, but I just couldn't get it to work right.

I chose PwnageTool.  Not because I only have a Mac to work with, (I have a PC too), but I liked the fact that it allows you to build your own custom Cydia packages that you can build right into your CUSTOM IPSW.  This way you do not have to manually install them one by one later.

What a big waist of time.  The custom Cydia Packages builder seemed to work like a charm... but when I restored my 3gs to the custom firmware, it installed all the packages, but no CYDIA???!!!  Rebooted the device 3 different times....  NO CYDIA.   Launched Winterboard, all it did was close right away....  BULLSHIT!

So long story short, I went back to Winblows 7.  Did a full restore of the OFFICIAL iOS 4.3.3 from Apple.  Then gave redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 a try.  It JailBroke my 3GS in about 30, maybe 45 sec.

So long story short, those of you who are worried about trying out redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16, don't be.  IT WORKS.

BUT BE FORWARNED BEFORE USING ANY JAILBREAK METHOD....

This was taken straight from http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

"ultrasn0w unlockers must stay away from redsn0w!  Use only a custom IPSW to update to 4.3.3, to avoid updating your baseband."
