Khaled A.

You will be needing the file iPhone1,2_3.0.1_7A400_Restore and quickpwn.
Remember: (1) You can do it only in windows, so run windows though vmware fusion, (2) all sms/mms will be deleted, however, the apps and others can be restored from itunes.
then install the config file and all is ok.
