For those of you that missed it the first time around, Saurik has added the "make my life easier" option to Cydia again. I missed it the first time around myself so I made sure to take advantage of it this time around. Thanks to Jay for adding this back in!
Got a tip for us?

I did too but after I closed Cydia and waited a few minutes, it now says at the top of the home screen:
This device has a 3.1 ECID SHSH on file.
The exact same thing happened for me as well. I am running 3.0.1. Is it still possible for Cydia to get a 3.1 ECID SHSH from my device?
Edit: I guess it is! http://modmyi.com/forums/3g-s-downgrading/685051-cydia-3-1-ecid-shsh-service-up-now.html#post4957108
Mine still says the "TSS request" message. May I ask what version your phone is? Is it 3G or 3GS, did you already have the ECID SHSH on file prior to this?
I did the same thing the first time it came out on September 8th
try clicking on the word "developer" at the very bottom of the cydia home page.
Oh sorry, it worked last time.
Maybe tweet saurik and he'll explain a way to fix it up.
Mine still says "This device has a pending TSS request. The TSS queue is deep: check tomorrow."
When it does become available, how will we be able to get this info? Or will we even need them? Just jailbreak and forever good?

I'm sure Saurik has a huge queue of signature requests that may take awhile to process. He has to be careful with how often he makes requests to Apple's servers or he might get his server IP's banned.
Once 3.1 is jailbroken and you need to restore, you will edit the /etc/hosts file on the computer that is running iTunes and set the IP address of the Apple authentication servers to Saurik's IP address. Then when iTunes goes out to get the signatures for your device ID, Saurik's servers return the stored version.
The details are posted on Saurik's site:

Saurik said somewhere that he has already requested 3.1 SHSHs for anyone who has a 3.0 SHSH on file, so you should be all set. Since he already had our ECIDs, he could make the request without asking for any new info from us. He will continue to get SHSHs for each version as it comes out.
Is this still up? I keep loading cydia and don't see the button 
Is there a way to manually do it?
Is there a way to manually do it?I cannot even get cydia to load..it opens and closes itself right away...anyway to get this without loading directly into cydia?
It is because this is the ECID SHSH 3.1 file for when the update of 3.1.2 or 3.2 comes out.
the 3.0 ECID SHSH is already passed. this current one is for futureproofing.
