The iPhone Dev-Team has released a trial fix for push notification on hacktivated iPhones. The team is requesting feedback from testers and will make changes and polish up the fix accordingly.
Does not fix the battery drainage on 2g iphone. I followed the steps exactly, able to create a new keychain file etc.
The only thing is that I don't use mobileme I use gmail and sync my calender, contacts etc. using the push feature which still works with 3.0 but causes my battery to drain very quickly.
I'm just wondering was this fix for mobileme aim users etc and is different for gmail?
Hi- I'm having that problem as well and have been talking with the person on AIM trying to sort it out. If anyone knows the reason/fix, please let me know!
Works fine for me, also youtube. but now I have one issue.. My MobileMe push email does not work, also calendar and contacts does not sync as they did.

Guide to Fix Push Notifications on Hacktivated iPhone 3.0
Yesterday, Dev-Team posted a trial fix for Push Notification System to make it work on unlocked or hacktivated iPhones with firmware 3.0. I have tried the fix on both iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G and can confirm that the fix is working on both like a charm!
This step by step will help you get Push notifications from the apps that can Push. You will need to have an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone for this to work. Please refer to the guide here to unlock and jailbreak your iPhone before you follow the steps below:
Step 1: Download WinSCP (download link given below) for Windows.
Step 2: Make sure you have OpenSSH installed on your iPhone:
* Open Cydia. Touch on Search tab and then search for OpenSSH.
* Install OpenSSH and reboot your iPhone.
Step 3: Connect your iPhone with your computer. Make sure iTunes is not running.
Step 4: Start WinSCP on Windows and enter the following details to login to your phone:
* Hostname: The IP address of your iPhone. Setting > WiFi >
* User name: root
* Password: alpine
* Protocol: SCP
Step 5: Once you have logged in, browse to /Private/var/Keychains directory on your iPhone.
Step 6: Download PushFix.zip (download link given below). Extract the files(nimble and inject) from the folder and copy them to your iPhone in this directory: /Private/var/Keychains
Step 7: Right-click on each of the two files you just copied, click on Properties and change the permission to 755 as shown below:
Step 8: Copy the file keychain-2.db (from /Private/var/Keychains) to your computer and then delete it from your iPhone.
Step 9: Download certs.zip from here and extract the following four files from it:
* youtube-cert.bin
* youtube-key.bin
* push-cert.bin
* push-key.bin
Copy these files to the same directory(/Private/var/Keychains) on your iPhone.
Step 10: In WinSCP, click on Command from the menu and then click on Open Terminal while you are on /Private/var/Keychains directory on your iPhone.
Step 11: Type ./inject in Console(Terminal) and click enter. This will now generate another keychain-2.db file on your iPhone.
Step 12: Close WinSCP session. Disconnect your iPhone from computer and uninstall any Push capable app on your iPhone. Reboot your iPhone.
Now install any Push capable app like Beejive IM on your iPhone. Voila! You should now have fully Push capable unlocked and jailbroken iPhone!
Download Links:
Download WinSCP for Windows
Download PushFix.zip
Download certs.zip
worked perfectly, modified the instructions for laymen folk here:
DevTeam have made a fix for the Push Notifications for 2G / 3G users hacktivated iPhones. Ive made a quick guide for people not knowing so much of Terminal, inject and you do not need an activated iPhone
Instructions
1. Download Cyberduck for Mac or FileZilla or chmod for windows.
2. Download OpenSSH and mobile terminal on your 2Giphone from Cydia
3. Open SSH connection to your 2g iphone using your ip on wifi network (user:root pass:alpine)
then follow these steps
1. Download PushFixPack.zip and unzip.
2. Copy youtube-cert.bin , youtube-key.bin, push-cert.bin, push-key.bin, inject, nimble via SSH to privatevarKeychains and set permissions of inject and nimble to 755. (You change permissions in Cyberduck (Mac) by right clicking and then clicking Info. Windows users can use Filezilla or chmod.)
3. Rename keychain-2.db to keychain-2.db.bk. Make sure that there is no keychain-2.db in privatevar/Keychains, because well make a new one with ./inject
4. Run inject Open Mobile Terminal on iPhone (download in Cydia) and type cd (make sure there is space between cd and ) then cd /private/var/Keychains then ./inject
5. You see your iPhone will do some stuff and some letters will scroll.
6. Close Mobile Terminal
7. Delete the app you want to use with push (Beejive)
8. Reboot
9. Reinstall the app (Beejive or quickpigeon which is easy to test with), you will also have to re-enter your WiFi-password.
10. Test Push!
