Now we have a report of a PW3 that was jail broken while unregistered:
<broken link removed>
I have PM'd that person, asking for the link to the jb instructions used.
There must be some 'special cases' involved.
Meanwhile, I'll leave the 'must be registered' in the jb directions.
(I used the serial port - IIRC - it was before the time of the most recent downgrade JB)

I had great difficulty using my PW3 because it demanded I register before it would even draw the top menu on the desktop, no menu options to get to UYK. I believe you and I and others discussed that (group PM perhaps?)...
I got past that because I clicked "register" in that popup, and it took me to the "scan for wifi networks" page, and after scanning networks I was able to NOT join one (cancel or "not now" or something), and only THEN did the desktop menu work. This was a wifi-only device, and I did NOT register it. A 3G device may be more complicated -- not sure if anywhere to cancel the procedure like with I skipping joining a wifi network...
I know more complex is not better, but I think some of them may be stuck where I was, and need to be guided into how to activate the hidden desktop menu (and UYK). I probably should post this PM to the thread...
Much like the amazon online registration process itself where it makes you give a credit card number, but allows you to cancel from credit card data entry and get to your account... You must BEGIN registration but no need to complete it.
I may have published it somewhere too -- do not be surpised if you get a link back to one of my posts.
