One of the amazing features that 3.0 brings is Push Notifications(but its not working for this oldie :P ). If you have 2G and Push Notifications is not working, then you should follow these steps:


Note: These are instructions on how to fix push notifications on your jailbroken 3.0 iPhone 2G. Please note that this is a preliminary fix by the iPhone Dev­Team and thus may need some improvements before it is finalized.

  • Press to launch Cydia from your SpringBoard.
  • Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.
  • Press the large Sources button.
  • Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.
  • Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.
