iPhone 3.0.1 update for Jailbroken phones

Hey there! If you like what you see here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates or get email updates.

Looks like Saurik is working some new magicks for Jailbroken iPhones.  Just after the 3.0.1 release yesterday, Cydia was updated with a message stating:

iPhone 3g 3.0.1 JailbreakUsers of 3.0 who are willing to wait for 3.0.1 may wish to wait a while longer ;P

(saurk is working on something that is going to make the upgrade process a lot simpler for people who are already using jailbroken devices.  Note that by “a while” I mean “a week”, not “mere hours from now, so check quickly and rapidly” ;P .)

No more details will be given for now.

The Apple iPhone upgrade process for minor upgrades has never made much sense to me.  It seems the 3.0.1 upgrade is right around the 300mb mark, and I’m guessing a patch could be created thats significantly smaller.  Perhaps Saurik has devised a way to diff the 3.0 vs. 3.0.1 and just patch up the few files that have changed?

Looking forward to seeing what he’s come up with.

    I've been waiting for news and haven't seen a thing yet — looks like it may in fact be months and not weeks…
