Apple Releases iPhone OS 3.1.2

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

Apple today released iPhone OS 3.1.2, addressing several issues regarding waking from sleep, network service disruption, and crashing during video streaming. iPhone users should connect their iPhones to iTunes and click the "Check for Update" button to obtain the new version.

This update contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

- Resolves sporadic issue that may cause iPhone to not wake from sleep

- Resolves intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart

- Fixes bug that could cause occasional crash during video streaming

The update is compatible with all iPhone models and weighs in at approximately 240 MB. Apple introduced iPhone OS 3.1 almost exactly one month ago, bringing a number of new features including Genius recommendation for applications, Genius Mixes for music and purchasing of pre-cut ringtones.

The update is available for the iPod Touch as well, weighing in at 265 MB. I'm downloading it as I'm typing this.

Apple needs to learn about how to do updates, I am sick of downloading 250mb+ (iPhone OS image) + 2.5GB+ (iphone sdk update) everytime there is a minor bug fix. Same goes for iTunes, Quicktime etc updates.

I guess Apple think that every customer have 50 megabit connection. I barely have a 728KB connection which is damn slow for big files.

[mad_onion]

Yeah I don't think I'll bother with this that's way to big for such a small update I'll wait for a .x update

[Tech-nerd]

Yes: Apple doesn't trust you.

If more people wouldn't mess around their iPhones, Apple wouldn't have the need to replace everything in every update release.

3.1.1 was iPod touch only. You must mean 3.1.2?

[Brian M. Veteran]

Has 3.1 been jailbroken yet? Im too lazy to check lol

Yes, 3.1 has - with the exception of the 3GS if it hasn't been "pwned" before. If you pwned the 3GS at either 3.0 or 3.0.1 then it'll work.

3.1.2 has not been jailbroken yet.

3.1.2 has been jailbroken. I'm holding out for a redsn0w release or anyone who will release a jailbreak/unlock combo. >:D

Name of jailbreak: blackra1n

Warning:

This is the first jailbreak release from any team/person so be careful and be warned. THIS DOES NOT UNLOCK YOUR iPHONE and will NULLIFY your unlock!

blackra1n will jailbreak the iPod Touch 3G but only a tethered jailbreak. All other idevices are untethered. I tried it on my iPod Touch 3G 8GB and it didn't work :(

[+Anarkii Subscriber²]

Ah I'm still using 3.0.1 on my iPhone 2G. Checked the devteam site and it says 3.1.2 is out but only for macs. That is a HUGE shame :(

Threw caution to air and went ahead and jailbroke my OTB (out of the box 3.1 OS) iPhone 3G S and it has worked successfully.

Cydia, Google Voice... HERE I COOOOOOME!

I had a 3.0 iPhone 3GS that i upgraded to 3.1 via iTunes, would that jailbreak work for me? ( i have no need for an unlock as my sim already works with the phone)

You need to upgrade to 3.1.2 to be able to jailbreak. If you don't care about unlocking or any other possible sources of conflict (since this is the first jailbreak release for windows in a long time), then be careful and update.

You are responsible for whatever happens to your iPhone.
