Note for iPhone 3G and 3GS: Do NOT upgrade to iPhone 3.1.2 with blackra1n if you want to keep your unlock as doing so will result in upgrade of your baseband which will make it almost impossible for you to unlock. If you want to keep your unlock then follow the guide posted here to unlock your iPhone and iPod touch with PwnageTool 3.1.4.
