Apple today released a new version of iPhone OS. This update contains 3GS baseband upgrade (05.12.01) so BE WARNED. DON’T UPDATE YOUR iPHONE 3GS.
There is not any notable change in this firmware.
iPhone 2G users : Can use redsn0w (download here) in order to jailbreak it. Please note that you should have firmware 3.1.2 file and you must point redsn0w to that files after updating (or restoring) to 3.1.3.
iPhone 3G users : If you need to unlock your iPhone baseband (using ultrasn0w, etc) DON’T UPDATE TO 3.1.3. otherwise use the above method.
iPhone 3GS users: BE WARNED. DON’T UPDATE YOUR iPHONE AT THIS TIME.
iPod Touch 1G users : Same as iPhone 2G.
iPod Touch 2G users : Do not update to 3.1.3
iPod Touch 3G users : Do not update to 3.1.3

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.

According to the latest news from DevTeam members :
DONT UPDATE TO OS 3.1, WAIT for the new version of pwning tools.
Stay Tuned.
Today Apple announce iTunes 9 along with iPhone OS 3.1 (Build 7C144). As DevTeam said, iPhone users who wants to unlock their iPhones with Ultrasn0w should not update their iPhone to 3.1 and have to wait for new version of Redsn0w and PwnageTool.
Below you can find direct download link for iPhone OS 3.1

Some tips from Dev Team :
Unusual battery depletion is almost always caused by people choosing to “Restore from backup” instead of “Setup as new iPhone” when iTunes asks you. This isn’t caused by either the jailbreak or the unlock, but it’s a common 3.0 snafu. The fix is to just re-run the official 3.0 restore and choose “Setup as new” this time. Your music and apps and all that will still be synced, but you’ll get rid of any conflicting wifi, bluetooth, or carrier settings. Then just re-run redsn0w and install ultrasn0w. Remember, ultrasn0w works with hacktivated phones too, but don’t outsmart redsn0w into thinking you don’t need hacktivation! If you don’t plan on using an official sim, don’t activate via iTunes with such a sim. Just keep your unofficial sim at all times and let redsn0w and ultrasn0w handle hacktivation T-Mobile in the USA doesn’t use the 3G frequencies that the iPhones support, so turn off 3G in Settings->General->Network. (Some T-Mobile territories gracefully hand down to Edge mode, but most do not). Certain unofficial plans have limitations on whether you can make calls and use data at the same time. That’s not unlock-related. Some people have installed previous versions of ultrasn0w using non-standard techniques. While the ultrasn0w 0.9 update should have removed all previous versions of ultrasn0w, these users may have outsmarted our removal. So make sure you don’t still see /usr/bin/ultrasn0w present if you’re at ultrasn0w 0.9 (which doesn’t have such a binary anymore). If you don’t need or plan to update to ultrasn0w 0.9 from a previous version, you can avoid having that red badge over Cydia by removing repo666 as a Cydia source. Don’t worry, you can always add it back later If you follow us on twitter you’ll be advised of any new updates anyway.
Ultransn0w 0.9 is out. I’m sure most of you’ll are familiar with ultrasn0w so lets just skip to what the DevTeam has to say:
DevTeam:
Ultrasn0w version 0.9 is out! We believe it solves pretty much all of the various random issues that have been reported. Its features include: Works on both 3G and 3GS Works on hacktivated devices Works regardless of how you jailbroke your device Doesn’t patch any mach-o binary whatsoever. (Doesn’t require a separate patch as each new firmware comes out). Doesn’t install any additional daemon Has no race conditions, no popups about “Missing SIM”, no network issues Is almost 7000 times smaller than its nearest competition This is the “Short Version” for people with not too much time on hand but for others, you’ll can read up the whole post here! Is available now via Cydia. Source repo is http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com (that last “0” in ultrasn0w is a zero!)”

iPhone Dev-Team:
About 5 hours ago (Thursday evening, less than a week after the 3GS launch), we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still present in the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can apply the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS. This is great news, but how did it happen? Why didn’t Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion? Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didn’t affect the iPhone 3GS. For our technical notes on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS, see here (pastebin hash of it is here). Our original blog post for when this exploit was first found is here. And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for you unlockers! Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak that aren’t in the other devices. It’ll take some time to safely work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there: The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w. (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)

Few hours ago Dev-Team release they new unlocking software called “Ultrasn0w“. As they said before, ultrasn0w can be used to unlock iPhone 3G (Firmware 2.x & 3.0) and the new iPhone 3GS (If jailbreakable!!!).
Using ultrasn0w is easy as 1,2,3!
Instructions
Users who purchased an iPhone 3G alien must still wait a while ‘before being able to update and unlock their devices. The Dev-Team is working on ultrasn0w and MuscleNerd via Twitter, tells us that the daemon will also work on SIM locked by a PIN.
