iPhone 3.1 may cause jailbreak problem

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 3.1 update either tomorrow or shortly after the event tomorrow. Of course as with every update, jailbreakers and people who unlock should be wary as Apple tries to nullify the process with each patch.

Here is the Dev Team’s reminder;

“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).”

The Dev Team usually posts a fresh hack within days if not hours of every new release so there is no need to fret. Still, don’t rush to download the new firmware right away.

Update:We apologize for the confusion this may have caused. To clarify, the Dev team has not said that you would lose your jailbreak only your Ultrasn0w unlock if you update the firmware by normal means through iTunes.
