There is not any notable change in this firmware.

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.

iPod Touch 1G users : Same as iPhone 2G.

After a long wait.. finally.. iphone genius george hotz ( better known as GeoHot ) has taken up the challenge to unlock the latest baseband 05.11.07.
He calls this new unlock Blacksn0w.. as of now he is working on it and as soon as there is any update on this, we will post it here..
The wait for BlackSn0w has begun..
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:
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.
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.

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
iPhone 2G – iPhone1,1_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw iPhone 3G – iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw iPhone 3GS – iPhone2,1_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw
After Apples 3.0.1 IPSW release, the dev team announced that Redsn0w was capable of jailbreaking it and ultrasn0w capable of unlocking it but two days after the release, Geohet announced that neither of his tools work with this IPSW and he doesn’t plan on making them, he also said that the next time he’ll release any tool will be when the 3.1 IPSW is out, he has announced that he has an unlocking hole in the 3.1 IPSW and that the future version of Purplesn0w will unlock the 3.1 FW !
meanwhile the dev team are looking for a new hole in the 3.1 for unlocking, jailbreaking is no trouble, as the dev team have said many times before, after you’ve jailbroken a device, it’s jailbroken for life. but the Geohet VS. Dev team game is gonna go on and it’ll really accelerate after the release of the iPod Touch 3rd Gen which will have a camera and mic.
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!)”
