Is it still advisable to set-up as a new phone after restoring to the Pwned firmware? Kinda hoping that's not necessary as I'd like to retain App data (i.e. HoldEm scoring, etc.)
Some people say it's best to set it up as a new phone but I've always restored from a backup and I've never had a problem. That doesn't mean I won't run into problems at some point in the future, but until I do I'll continue to restore from backup. It's nice to be able to retain all of that app info.
Another thing you can consider is AppBackup - that will back up all of your app data. If you do this, you should be able to copy the backup files from your phone back to your computer, set up your phone as new, and then copy the files back to your phone. I'm not 100% sure of the exact process, files, etc. but it should be doable.
Worked ok. I went to sleep after restoring my iPhone as a new phone and after 3 hours, the battery drained to 62% with no usage. I had the same thing happen with blackra1n.
I'm back on 3.0 once again.

my girlfriend's iPhone is just as you said. However I got/get outstanding (for an iPhone) battery life with JB'ed 3.1 and 3.1.2 with mine. Not sure why that would be the case as we both have 3G's and I did the same procedure, used the same custom firmware on both...doesn't make sense.
Are you taking about the message that says along the lines "Do you have a phone that can be activated through itunes? Yes, NO?"
anyways I said yes, but I'm not getting any signal after restoring in itunes and activating it
I had to restore to Apple's latest firmware from itunes.
Did I do something wrong? can I still jailbreak If Im already on the latest firmware from apple?
for all the people that has done this JB on 3.1.2, how are you guys liking it so far? anything better than 3.0.1? hows battery life? anymore coma issues? aside from all those, how about features like tethering? i know the carrier tethering hack doesnt work anymore right? but how about pdanet?
the JB process seems fairly easy. most of the JB apps work? can anyone confirm if backgrounder, weather icon, five icon dock, privacy, make it mine, reflective dock works?
does changing dock background via SSH still work the same way?

if your not looking to unlock the handset to use with another carrier then no you have not done anything wrong, if your looking to unlock the device you will have to jailbreak and run fuzzyboard to see if you can downgrade the baseband. If you cant downgrade the baseband and need it unlocked well then unfortunately you will be stuck.
I'm using Backgrounder, Weather Icon, Five Icon Dock, Make It Mine, Reflective Dock, SBSettings, Kirikae, Winterboard, 3G Unrestrictor, qTweeter, Your Tube...and more. All are working fine on 3.1.2 after using pwnage 3.1.4 to jb!
No, I don't care about unlock, so I said "yes I can activate it through itunes" because I'm on at&t, but my phone has no signal at all
No need to set up as as new phone. I've never done it and never had a problem.
awesome! thank you!! now to tip me off JB 3.1.2 process, need to know how well tethering works.
Is anyone else getting a transparent status bar in mobile iTunes? I don't thinkit used to work that way, but, since upgrading to 3.1.2, I can see my wallpaper through the iTunes status menu!
If I am jailbreaking a stock firmware 3.1.2, do I need to put the iPhone into DFU mode first, or just restore with the custom ipsw?
I was looking at this link:

One of the comments said that the 1600 error was being caused by iTunes 9.0.1 and suggested a rollback to 9.0. I hope this is not the case - can someone confirm?
Hmmm - well I did that and it gave me a error 1604 and said it could not be restored. Unknown error
Can i do all the stuff on the Mac - create custom IPSW, then do the restore on the Mac, then plug the iPhone into my PC and restore from backup there?
