Few hours ago Dev-Team released their new PwnageTool that can jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3. Unfortunately this version can’t jailbreak iPodTouch 3G nor iPhone 3GS!
iPhone 3GS users still be aware to update to this new version of OS (3.1.3), if you update accidentally like me you have to wait until the next releases of Dev-Team tools.
You can find the whole article here at Dev-team Blog.

Dev-Team released the new version of redsn0w that support iPhone OS 3.1.x.
You can download it here:
How is it different from PwnageTool? redsn0w doesn’t require a system restore like PwnageTool does (it doesn’t even use iTunes at all). On the other hand, PwnageTool can prevent your baseband from being upgraded when you upgrade your firmware, preserving your unlock. (redsn0w doesn’t touch your baseband but it doesn’t help preserve it during an upgrade either). redsn0w works by modifying your current filesystem, so your existing baseband, data and applications should remain intact. How is it different from blackra1n? - It uses our original Pwnage bootrom exploit for iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, and iPod 1G. (Because it’s a bootrom exploit, it can’t be fixed by Apple without a new hardware release.) Note that redsn0w 0.9 does use the USB exploit for iPhone 3GS and iPod 2G running 3.1.2, but that exploit will be fixed in Apple‘s next FW release. - It offers custom logos and verbose boot - It installs Cydia without needing a separate download - It’s not as fast (but redsn0w handles more variations)

DevTeam released PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X that support iPhone OS 3.1.2 (iPhone 2G/3G/3GS, iPod Touch 1G/2G)!
This release allows your baseband to remain unlocked at 3.1.2, but it does not unlock a new baseband put there by restoring to official 3.1.x. It is super important that people who need the unlock to understand they can keep it only by starting at 3.0 (or earlier) and updating solely to custom IPSWs that don’t update the baseband. For those who have been onboard the “unlock train”, simply install ultrasn0w via Cydia once you’ve restored to your custom IPSW. Don’t forget to turn off the “3G” setting in Settings->General->Network if you use T-Mobile in the U.S.A. SUMMARY: The iPhone 3GS is now supported out of the box in PwnageTool 3.1.4 (or if you have upgraded to 3.1.x in iTunes) The iPod 2G is still supported in PwnageTool 3.1.4 but you must already be jailbroken (we’ll update this if there’s a big demand from non-jailbroken ipt2G owners) The iPod touch 3G is NOT supported

SUMMARY:
The guys at appleturk.net ( makers of iReb – the itunes 16xx error bypasser ) have released iReb 3.1 which solves the crash problem on windows and mac and also, as promised, they have released a tool for 3GS users ( which was a surprise ) that saves your ECID and SHSH so you can downgrade your firmware even after apple releases new firmwares and stops signing the old ones!!!
To download iReb go to http://ih8sn0w.com ( where ’0′ is a zero ) and click the Windows or Apple logo depending on your OS.
Then, you can run iReb and follow the onscreen instructions.
For the custom firmware, you can either create one using this on mac on download one and use it for windows.

Few minutes ago, Dev-Team released their new PwnageTool for jailbreaking iPhone OS 3.1
iPhone 2G (1st Generation) Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your newly created .ipsw ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken. iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch) Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes. iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch) Sorry, no support at this time within PwnageTool, use Redsn0w for an earlier (pre 3.1) firmware release instead.

Users who wants to use Installous, Appsyne, Mobileinstallation patch on their iPhones should wait for the new releases of DevTeam products (Redsn0w, PwnageTool, …) in order to Jailbreak their iPhones.
This week Apple will be all over the news with their announcements at Wednesday’s “Let’s Rock” event. But with so many new owners of the iPhone 3GS, and with so many new owners of the iPhone 3G (perhaps sold to them by these new 3GS owners)…now is a good time to send out this general advisory. 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 lets 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.
