iH8sn0w is almost done testing the new windows version of his popular software iReb (iTunes recovery error blocker) and has added the new feature of automatically adding the host IP for Saurik’s Cydia restore server. This, adding of the server IP is not as important now, as 3.1.2 is jailbroken, unlocked and signed. But in the future, to preserve to ability to jailbreak and downgrade, you will want to have your SHSH files stored some where.
And most of you have clicked the make it easy button in Cydia, and got your SHSh files already on file there. If you haven’t, do it now. Or use iReb’s bundledSHSH grabber, TinyUmbrella( by Semaphore) to get them. How ever you get them is up to you, but get them while you can.
He is still adding a couple more tweaks to it and a couple of more features to make it a little easier. And you can expect a release around the weekend. This is mainly for the iPhone 3G[S], but you should get them for the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch also.

I have an iPhone 3G and I have been hapily jailbreaking it since I got it. A couple of my mates are getting 3Gs’s and they want me to sort them out. What exactly is different with it when it comes to jailbreaking? Any chance could someone outline what I’ve got to do differently please?

the only difference is which tool you can use. if u on a Mac, you can use PwnageTool and/or blackra1n. if u on a PC, u can only use blackra1n…..

And if they are “new” 3G[S] you maybe stuck with only Blackra1n and a ‘tethered” jailbreak. meaning that everytime the phone reboots it needs to be hooked up to a computer or device and re-run blackra1n to send the “geohot” command to get passed the connect to itunes( recovery screen).

Ok cheers. I’ll let my mates know about the teathered clause. Is there a way of finding out if its a new or old 3Gs by looking on the phone? you never know, they might get one from an old box of stock

Look at the serial number, fourth and fifth number are build week, anything built after week 40 will be tethered.

Ok, his phone is from week 43 so he’ll hav to make do with the tethering. Is there going to be a pwnagetool that can handle his phone any time in the near future? Because I might just recommend to him to hold on for that.
