I have a 3GS with 4.0.1
my iboot rom is "iBoot-359.3.2" but I can't find out a way to do it..
 
Okay, thanks a lot. Quick question, is there any downside to doing it through jailbreakme.com compared to something else like pwnage or is it all the same ishh?

There are advantages to using Redsn0w/PwnageTool, because doing so will guarantee your future ability to jailbreak any future version of iOS. But unless you are able to downgrade your phone to iOS 3.1.2 or earlier you have no option other than jailbreakme.com. PwnageTool only allows you to upgrade to a jailbroken iOS 4.0 if your phone has already been "pwned" (had its bootloader modified to patch out the signature check), and the exploit used to do that was fixed in iOS 3.1.3.

If you have your 3.1.2 SHSH on file, then I recommend downgrading and using PwnageTool.

Well, I had a 3GS on 3.1.2 (with SHSH on file on cydia) then I had to send my phone in to get fixed.. and they sent me a refurbished one. I just jailbroke the new 3GS because I'm selling it to my friend, and I'm getting the iphone 4. Will there be anyway to jailbreak my iphone 4 using the saved SHSH from my 3.1.2?

thanks though, I jailbroke it with the jailbreakme.com and it was sooo easy it's crazy. I patched up the hole with the cydia patch too.. and unlocked it for my friend.

Pwnagetool allows you to pwned (accepts unsigned code) which means you can always upgrade using any future custom already JB firmware & save your current baseband (unlock). But, anyway, believe Pwnagetool doesn't work with your bootroom.

With Jailbreakme.com, does not pwned your phone. Can't install custom already JB firmware or save your baseband. But, it does work with your bootrom and it will be untethered.

SHSH hashes are unique for each iPhone and useless for any other phone.
