Apple on Thursday released an update to the iPhone OS, bringing it to version 3.1.2. The minor update reportedly fixes a handful of issues with the software.
According to Apple, the update — which applies to the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS — has the following improvements:
The update, which weighs in at over 200MB, can be downloaded through iTunes. A corresponding update for the iPod touch was also released.
A month ago, Apple released iPhone OS 3.1, which debuted a number of new features, including a Genius recommendation system for software in the App Store. It also added ringtones from record labels, directly into the iTunes application on the phone.
Of course the iPhone Dev Team has to have their say on 3.1.2…

Featured, Firmware 3.0, Jailbreak/Activate, Software Unlock - YES!
Apple on Thursday released iPhone OS 3.0.1 which contains a patch to fix a discovered exploit in the SMS system whereby a hacker had to simply send a single character SMS in order to gain control of the iPhone.
This is the only change between this & 3.0.
As far as jailbreaking is concerned redsn0w (confirmed by the Dev Team) does work with 3.0.1. Only change to make note of is to select the 3.0 firmware when doing the jailbreak not the 3.0.1 firmware.
“Restore to 3.0.1, run redsn0w, select the 3.0 file… Bang zoom.”

A little while ago I showed some pictures that showed the ability to edit video on the “old” iPhone EDGE/3G through a small change to a. Plist. This file is not new but has been tested on firmware beta. Today, our Pagaman1 tried on the 3.0 firmware and was able to discover the ability to trigger the display of video editing and also directly on the same “old” iPhone 3G and EDGE.
Technically, it is then possible to use some functions reserved exclusively all’iPhone 3GS also on our previous models, but unfortunately I could not in any way to enable both functions of Video Editing and Camera 
, And then find the following guide to enable only the first function.
1st First extract the files on your desktop that you just downloaded. Connect to SSH into your device and entered into this path: / System / Library / CoreServices / SpringBoard.app
2nd Run a backup of the original file called “M68AP” and then sovrascrivetelo with M68AP.plist file you just downloaded from iSpazio.
3rd Now insert a video (MOV format) in cameraroll. You can download this for example: IMG_0011.MOV and put it in / var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE
4th Run a Respring.
5th Start the camera and click the button at the bottom left to open CameraRoll. You’ll notice a new subdivision in “All Photos and Videos” and you can start the movie that you have previously uploaded.
6th As you can see him move between frames, select the area you are interested in and cut.
To re-enable the camera, you need to restore the original file M68AP.plist. If there is a good person to me who is able to modify other files, for leave to live with these two options, I will be pleased host the package on Cydia. I thankAntonio Outbuildings Pagaman1 for egnalazione today through this video (not Italian):

It seems like there is a dev team that currently wants to get the 3G S jailbreak out asap. This Unknown dev team over at http://iphone-unknowndev.blogspot.com/ sounds like bad news. They may be good at what they do but I would not recommend using any software or following them what so ever. They seem like amateur devs testing out a bunch of code signing and resigning trying to get the 3G S to boot up. Again I am warning everyone to have patience with the dev team and stay safe, otherwise if you use any other software that is not official dev team work you may end up with an expensive paper weight.

Meanwhile the real iPhone Dev Team have some further words to say concerning iPhone OS 3.1 BETA & the iPhone 3GS jailbreak/unlock
Remember we warned you to stay away from any updates to 3.1 if you want to be able to jailbreak or unlock your 3GS.
Well this is an additional message to all you 3GS owners that would like to jailbreak your device soon.
You may have read or heard about techniques to capture files during the iTunes restore process. These will be required to jailbreak your phone in the near future, most of the methods involve icky USB snoops. Well, there is an even better and more reliable method to get your hands on those lovely files.
During the restore process iTunes nicely keeps these oh-so-top-secret-files in a lovely accessible place for us to copy out and backup, that place? /tmp on Mac OS X or %TEMP% on Windows, thanks Apple, handy.
So during a usual recovery, your signed iBEC is written to /tmp and during a DFU mode restore and the signed iBSS is written there also. To be sure, restore in both modes one after another to be able to grab them both. You’ll need to keep an eye on the temp directory and grab it before it is deleted again by iTunes. I’m sure some nice folks will create a tutorial about this, we’ll link to the first person who makes a nice one.
The downside to this approach is that you actually need to go through the restore process to get these signed files.
Act fast, this needs to be done quickly!
IF YOU CARE ABOUT ULTRASN0W, BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THIS METHOD! The last thing you need to do is to accidentally restore to 3.1 beta — you’ll lose ultrasn0w if you do!

A few websites are reporting this morning that Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That puts it at

12:00pm Central
01:00pm Eastern (Trinidad & Tobago time)

Personally based on Apple’s announcements coming at 10am PT, this time doesn’t surprise me. Now we wait & see.
