This Guide we will upgrade your already Jailbroken iPhone 3GS on 3.0 Firmware to 3.1 with PwnageTool 3.1

Important !

• If you have used Categories –  Please Remove everything out of Folders created by categories. For ex. Apps Folder – has all Apps inside – Remove these Apps from within this folder  & delete App Folder do this for all Folders created by categories – it is important that you First remove apps from within categories folder & then remove the folder itself. Now uninstall categories completely from Cydia or icy.  If you do not do this – We found AppStore showing Apps Installed but we were unable to locate the App (even via – Spotlight).
• If you have Blank Icons Installed Please remove them Prior to Restore.
• We tested this and found – Apps were missing – Storage was taken by (other) in iTunes – Blanks will show up on the device after a sync (This is because Blank Icons are bookmarks & bookmarks are backed up in iTunes) so to avoid complications afterwards we suggest you take these tiny steps to get a clean jailbroken Device.
• Now Hook your device up & let is Back up - This Back up will promise a clean restore without any extra stuff inserted.

While these steps are not necessary but they will surely promise a clean install. We Highly recommend that you Do this. This jailbreak will install Cydia (no Icy,icy can be installed from within Cydia).
