Finally, iPhone 3GS 3.1 Jailbreak
It's nice to see our friends at the iphone dev team finally updated their PwnageTool to allow 3GS iphones to be unlocked/jailbroken. There are alot of careful precautions you must take, but it does seem possible now. Here is what is said on the dev team's blog post:
The iPhone 3GS is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the phone was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 - PwnageTool does not support the 3GS out of the box. If your iPhone 3GS has 3.1 preinstalled and is not Pwned then there is no tested jailbreak solution at the moment.
GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.
I guess I fit the bill since I do currently have a iPhone 3GS jailbroken and unlocked with 3.0.1, so I will be giving it a go later today. I'll post back and let you guys know how it goes... I'll also provide a link for downloading the 3GS 3.1 firmware already patched and jailbroken for use with PwnageTool.
