I have iphone 3g 3.1.3 jailbroken and unlocked with ultrasnow 0.93. I want to update iphone to new os 4.0. I know I can jailbreak and unlock 4.0 with redsnow and ultrasnow, but how do I update it to begin with? Do I need to use a 4.0 ipsw file and hit shift then update on itunes, or do I just click on update on itunes and use official 4.0 update?
 
* If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
* If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.
* If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
* As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

yes you need to update the ipsw file and you can use redsn0w 0.9.5 and re-jailbreak it but it will be perfectly safe
