The iPhone Dev Team has released a statement warning all jailbreakers to beware of online “5.12″ or “5.11″ jailbreaks that are fraudulent and will steal your money. These sites do not have any sort of unlock or jailbreak for the new devices and are only trying to steal money from you: stay away!!
On the better side of things, sherif hashim has found a seemingly promising crash in the new baseband and is working hard on exploiting it for the upcoming jailbreak. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if this crash will be good enough; the dev team promises nothing but hard work and is unable to give an ETA yet.

Apple’s recent firmware update, 3.1.3, is unnecessary unless you have been experiencing issues with your battery percentage. But because some people will want to update anyway while and keep their iPhone/iPod Touch jailbroken, the dev-team announces PwnageTool 3.1.5.
The Dev-team gives the details:
iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers should always be very wary to update their firmware. This is no exception. If you make a mistake along the way you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.
iPhone 3GS users (regardless of unlock) should stay away from this and all 3.1.3 jailbreak tools unless you know you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up via Cydia. That’s because if you make a mistake you may find yourself stuck at official 3.1.3 with no way to jailbreak or come back down to 3.1.2 to jailbreak.
If you really truly feel that you need to update, this version creates a custom 3.1.3 IPSW for you to restore to on your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom. If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.
Here is the torrent link and here are further instructions. . .
Have fun but be careful.

Apple just released a new iPhone 3.1.3 OS and updating will kill your chances of Jailbreaking if you are on either the iPhone 3GS or the iPod Touch 2G with “MC serial”.
iPod Touch Fans continues. . .
It also contains a new baseband that has not been hacked and so if you need to unlock your iPhone 3G you should avoid upgrading.
Blacksn0w has not been updated and does not work with 3.1.3 but the ever industrious Dev-Team have made a few tweaks to their recently released redsn0w 0.9 tool so that it will jailbreak OS 3.1.3 on iPod touch 1G, older models of the iPod touch 2G, iPhone 2G and contract (no unlock required) iPhone 3G.
If you’re a 3GS owner then you need to make sure you have backed up your ECID/SHSH signatures through Cydia or Rock to ensure that when Apple stop signing the 3.1.2 firmware you can restore or downgrade to 3.1.2 if required.
Sorry for the bad news, updates to come!
