Before You Begin:
Read release information about PwnageTool 3.1.4 from Dev-Team. (Gonna say it again, do not upgrade using iTunes upgrade, specifically if your baseband is under 05.11.07 - 04.26.08. Why, because as of this writing 05.11.07 is not unlockable, so if you update to 3.1.2 using regular iTunes method, you will not be able to unlock your phone.
Update: 05.11.07 Baseband iPhone Unlock will be Released 11/04/2009 via Blacksn0w (this is only a new development, still do not update using iTunes. Make sure to read all the articles and ask questions)
In short:
1. Tool is available for Mac only
2. Jailbreak and Unlock is available for 3GS (assuming you did not update baseband from 3.0), 3G, 2G phones only
3. Unlocking will work on iPhone 3G and 3GS (assuming you did not update baseband from 3.0) using ultrasn0w. Use this guide for unlock 3.1 instructions.
4. No need for DFU mode, when you create IPSW file just you iTunes to restore your custom firmware (triple check that you are restoring from custom frimware)
4. Read comments on Dev-Team blog from early adaptors.
