iPhone Firmware 3.1 is now available for download for all existing iPhone and iPod touch users who have purchased iPhone Firmware 3.0.1. Its comes with many new features and many bugs are fixed now. If you have jail broken or unlocked you iPhone, then DO NOT update this firmware until Dev-Team releases upated updated versions of redsnow and ultrasnow for firmware 3.1 else you will lose your ultrasnow unlock FOR EVER.
If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your Ultrasn0w unlock. In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware).
But don’t worry…our PwnageTool program let’s you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware, so you can still have the best of both worlds. But you must be diligent about saying “no” to your iTunes request this week to update your firmware.
