Download iPhone 3.0 Beta Firmware

by Harshad on March 22, 2009

iPhone 3.0 has already been announced by Apple team. It has lots of interesting features which many people wants to experience. However, iPhone 3.0 OS will be released in this summer.

So, if you want to use official iPhone 3.0 firmware on iPhone or iPod Touch then you will have to wait for some time. Currently, iPhone 3.0 OS Beta is available for official developers only.

iPhone Dev team has strictly warned to use official iPhone 3.0 OS. Here’s what Dev team has said on their blog -

It almost goes without saying, but we will say it anyway

With all of the great stuff lined up for us with the 3.0 OS that Apple described today, many 3G owners may find themselves with itchy update fingers. If you find yourself with access to the 3G IPSW for 3.0 via the iPhone Dev Center program, and you are using yellowsn0w, do not update or restore to that official IPSW. You will lose yellowsn0w and find yourself unable to revert the baseband to get it back.

And for those wondering, yes the 3.0 OS is jailbreakable on all devices. It’s just those using 3G yellowsn0w that have to show some restraint and wait for PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW that avoids the baseband update.

Some of you still want to try and explore new features in iPhone 3.0 firmware before it releases for general public. You can download the beta version of this firmware from following links.
