Necessary to update to 3.0.1?

[impulse462]

Heres the low down,

I would gladly update to 3.0.1 because I can rejailbreak however the problem is that I had tried the 3.1 beta 1 which upgraded my phones baseband to 5.08.01. (I'm on a 3gs by the way). The reason im asking if its necessary is because when I did downgrade from 3.1 beta 1 to 3.0, I got itunes error, I then went ahead and tried using redsnow to jailbreak. However I did not get any cell data or signal and all the info was described as (null) on the phone. When i used purplerain to jailbreak, however my AT&t signal came back.

So I have two questions:
1. Is it an absolute must to upgrade to 3.0.1 because of the SMS exploit?
2. Does anyone know if purplerain will work to jailbreak 3.0.1?

Any replies are appreciated

Yes. Unless you want your iPhone to be hacked. The jailbreaks have been confirmed to work with 3.0.1

Yes. Unless you want your iPhone to be hacked. The jailbreaks have been confirmed to work with 3.0.1

Both of them? rain/snow?

You act like everyone who does not upgrade will be hacked. Very unlikely.

Actually, no, I don't. I am saying, don't even take the chance and upgrade. Is there a problem with upgrading?
I would not even take the chance if there was already a fix for it.

There was a message on Cydia from Saurik that the there will likely be a fix that can be downloaded from Cydia.

I'll wait for that before I go and re jailbreak.

Don't even bother upgrading. Do it when 3.1 is out soon.
It's not a must and highly unlikelly that you'll get attacked by hackers that want to take over controll of your iPhone.

That is what i want to do. Just dont know how long it will be til 3.1 is released. I cant get into cydia anymore right now. I downloaded a theme and now Cydia wont load anymore. No big deal. I can wait for 3.1 if it will be out soon. Just dont know when that will be.

As I said earlier if its completely necessary I will gladly update.

The only PROBLEM is that I have 5.08.1 and when i restore itunes will give me an error and ill be stuck at the recovery mode screen(not the emergency call screen).

I would also glady use redsnow to jailbreak but alas when I used it with the 5.08.1 baseband i wouldnt get a carrier signal but with purplerain I did.

Yes I know im an idiot for upgrading to 3.1 but I cant change the past. I will just wait till 3.1 as I have my ibec and ibss files I guess.

The SMS exploit may have been fixed in 3.1 beta.

Would be nice but I'm back on 3.0 right now
