If we unlock our phones, are we allowed to turn it off and back on w/out a computer?

So I was reading on http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=5885 and it said

For those with a new iPhone 3GS (updated Bootrom), BlackRa1n only supports a tethered jailbreak. This means that once jailbroken you should not let your battery die. If it does die you will need to reconnect it to the computer and use BlackRa1n to boot it.

Does that mean that Im going to need a computer every single time i turn my phone off and back on?

No I think it means you can only turn it on and off when it's tethered.

if the battery dies, you need to run blackra1n to reboot it

From the iClarified page:
"If it does die you will need to reconnect it to the computer and use BlackRa1n to boot it."

Yes.

Yes. On the other hand, it's pretty easy to NOT turn off your iPhone. Just watch your battery level, and don't install anything new while you are not within range of a computer. I've managed to go for weeks without my iPhone turning off.

I can't manage a few days without my phone losing signal for whatever reason. Apple can't help me since my phone isn't covered by warranty.

Losing signal is totally unrelated to turning iPhone on/off....

If you have a ti84(or 83) calculator around and your iphone usb cord you could always boot it up with that if you ever need to reboot.

And how would you run blackra1n to inject the code necessary for it to boot up? AFAIK TI calcs cannot run exe files

That's only true for 3GS's of the last few weeks manufacture, since the Bootrom got updated to version 359.3.2 from 359.3

Do you know which you have?
