WARNING #1: Since the iPhone baseband will be updated to 05.11.04from the previous 4.26.08, this will mean that the ultrasn0w unlock method will be blocked. For those who want to have an unlocked iPhone on 3.1 DO NOT UPGRADE to 3.1 until ultrasn0w has been updated to work on 3.1 iPhones.

WARNING #2: Since AT&T updated the carrier profile version, 4.5 from 4.0. This is will terminate the popular IPCC tethering hack that has been going around on the internet because of the arbitrary-looking "signatures" that are now attached to MMS and VVM.

* Indicates that this was included in iPhone 3.1 Beta 1
** Indicates that this was included in iPhone 3.1 Beta 2
*** Indicates that this was included in iPhone 3.1 Beta 3

Guess I won't be updating until we can crack apps again.

Do you mean 3.0 and redsn0w?

I believe that cracked thing is bs, I have access to this and I have not seen this listed anywhere on apples site as well as in the firmware itself

and johnny, it's beta software, and ultrasn0w is the unlocking software

edit: I have looked though all of apple's documentation for 3.1 beta, and NOWHERE does it say "* TOTAL elimination of cracked apps, new process that MUST verify AppStore Apps integrity before allowing them to run ***" or anything like that
