EDIT 2: It looks like it went successfully to 3.1.2. Currently doing a restore from a backup to get all my info back on there and I notice in iTunes it says 3.1.3 is now available...OMGWTFBBQ!!1!
EDIT: Finally figured out that in the Pwnage tool when you select which device you have I had to specify 3Gs in order for it to read my 3g ipsw. Every time I selected the regular iPhone it said wrong firmware bundle. I built my own ipsw and it's currently updating. So either I'm set, or I'm about to be completely screwed because I shouldn't have done the 3Gs one, haha.
I'm currently running 3.0 on my iPhone 3G. I've had it jailbroken for quite some time, which is why I never went to the 3.1.x, but today I figured I might as well make the jump. I am signed on with AT&T so upgrading the baseband or whatever is not an issue. (My main reason for jailbreaking in the first place is to get custom text message tones.)
I read multiple places that if you are using AT&T you can just update to 3.1.2 normally through iTunes and then jailbreak it rather painlessly from there (other than redoing all the custom apps, etc). I downloaded the update and it failed to install, and then my phone was stuck in Recovery Mode (iTunes symbol showing to plug in the phone). I tried doing a Restore from iTunes multiple times, but kept getting random errors (1611, 2006, 2009 and so forth). I read Apple's site and it said try using a different USB port and restart the computer and nothing worked. It kept failing with random error messages and the phone continued to be stuck in Recovery Mode.
I finally ran redsn0w 0.7 that I had from last time and it "re-jailbroke" the phone and got it to boot up normally again. I didn't lose any info, as all of my jailbroken info was in tact.
Question being - have any of you experienced this before? Anything I can do to actually get to 3.1.2? I read a few people had their phones bricked trying to go to 3.1 and had to be replaced because not even a restore would work.
Sorry for the long post...thanks in advance!
