Important Notes:

Do not install 3.1 if you want to use tethering on the iPhone in Saudi Arabia, Mobily did not provide any fix for that until now.

Do not install 3.1 if you have a jailbroken iPhone/iPod touch.

The update is now available and can be installed using iTunes.

  8. 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.
