Put the phone into DFU, restore to 3.0, get error 1015, and then run PurpleRa1n. Pretty easy.

I set it up as a new phone so I don't know if it's possible to restore from backup.
 
I didn't even see the pink screen at all during the process. If it was there it wasn't there for long.

The pink recovery screen is if you try purplera1n on 3.1b ... ;)

Easy enough to downgrade to 3.0 and get past that 1015, though.
 
Apple says you cant downgrade.

Is this correct?

Also because the baseband got bumped, the jailbreak will not work, right?
 
It works fine. The 1015 error is because of the baseband. Once you move on past that, it's fine.
 
How do you get past that error?

Is it just a matter of powering off or something?
 
I used PurpleRa1n.

When you get the error close iTunes, open PurpleRa1n and hit Let it Rain or whatever the button is. Minutes later my phone rebooted and gave me a 'connect to iTunes' screen. When I did, it activated and was on 3.0. Then run Freeze on the phone itself and Cydia is installed.
 
redsn0w does not work with 3.1 yet...simply does not recognize the ipsw file!
