Hi there, hope some sifus will be kind enough to answer my question

I have a Maxis set iphone 3GS and i wanted to jailbreak to install apps & games, it has the 3.1.3 firmware & 05.12.01 base-band. here's my question.
1) Is it possible to jailbreak the current 3.1.3 without touching the firmware since it's already unlocked? Or I have to follow the step to download & restore the FW and jailbreak ?
2) If i have to restore the FW, if everything went fail, can I revert it back by restoring the original 3.1.3 FW so everything go back to it's original state and remain UNLOCKED?
3) Lastly, i'm kinda confuse, to make it simple. I just wanna confirm that do I have to unlock every time I upgrade to higher firmware since it's maxis official unlocked set? or I just have to do the jailbreak process enough?
Thanks & Regards..
Post MovedKindly read the few post above your post as this question on Jailbreak Fw 3.1.3 have been answered numerous times in this thread. You can read the first post as well.
Secondly, all iPhones sold from Maxis, Digi are offcially unlock or so to say a permanent unlock till your phone aged.
To clear up your confusion, only LOCKED untis of iPhone (2G or US, UK 3G/3GS iPhones) need a software to enable call functions etc hence the unlock/jailbreak came about.
Official unlock units of iPhone as stated in Apple site does not need to unlock with any software. As long as the iPhone is an unlock unit, there's no need to worry about unlocking or a need to unlock even if the next hundred frimwares comes our way.
More info on iPhone, please read this pinned thread:
