Yes, as Europa said, please DO NOT try it. He just made this update to the page a few minutes ago.

Europa, when Naps posted that, the following update was not issued yet.

Update: This tutorial does not install Cydia, in other words you must wait for iPhone Dev Team to release the new redsn0w software. When I saw the successfuly jailbroken message on the screen I thought Cydia was installed and in all the excitement I decided to post this up for everyone else. Please wait until the new redsn0w is out. Bookmark this site and I’ll make a tutorial once it’s officially released.

For those who've updated, what the release version say? According to Engadget, there is now a 3.1.1? Or was this supposed to be the same as 3.1? Confused...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/iphone-ipod-touch-os-3-1-1-is-live/
3.1.1 is for the touch and the iPhone gets 3.1. I am guessing cause the iPhones will get 3.1.1 on the 25th for mms, the touch won't benefit from 3.1.1 so they got it today. They need to clarify that it is 3.1 for iPhone/3.1.1 for iPod touch cause it is causing confusion:

Installing 3.1 now, still waiting on iTunes 9 to finish Downloading.

3.1 downloaded in 8 minutes (302MB) iTunes 9 is still downloading after 15 minutes (90mb). Must be different servers, this is annoying lol.

Mine will take a while. I have AT&T DSL and it sucks. I wish I could get Comcast internet, but the apartment complex won't allow it here. So, I'm stuck on crappy DSL and slow connections. God, I feel like I'm back on 56k

iTunes is so ugly!
and Apple stinks for just iTunes 9 compatibility update. it will obviously work, without engadget i wouldn't have known about iTunes 9 for many days.

Here is my plan when I get home. If it is flawed please let me know.

3.1 Upgrade

Backup Cydia apps
Delete Categories
Backup data to syncdocs
Backup iPhone to iTunes (just in case)
Install iTunes 9
Install 3.1 as new phone
Sync to get contacts and calendar data back
Load apps from iTunes library
Load data from sync docs
Load music/videos/pictures from iTunes library
Make sure you take everything out of folders before deleting the app. It's a pain but you won't lose any apps that way.

Hey, I still have MMS after upgrading! I really like the new iTunes, and the voice commands via b/t is great.
Me too! :eek:k:eek:k And it officially updated me to AT&T 5.0. I wanted a fresher look and I got it with iTunes 9. I love it and it is faster in almost every area :). 3.1 I am still not super happy with, I don't feel much if any difference from beta 3 to today's release. I think I need to restore to get rid of beta code etc, but don't know how long it will take since I never did it on my macbook pro yet. Not sure if I need to set a whole day aside. My windows laptop took forever to restore. And my battery still isn't good so I'm wondering if it is the phone and not software related. After the restore if there is no improvement it will have to get replaced :(
