    You need to use redsnow 0.9.4 and point it to a 3.1.2 firmware to jailbreak and activate 3.1.3. you can find a tutorial at the top of the page under guides.

    If youre referring to not being able to find the 3.1.3 to restore to in iTunes, you'll have to make sure it is in .ipsw format. If it is in .zip it won't show up in iTunes.

    This also applies to running the 3.1.2 ipsw in redsn0w. It must be in .ipsw format.

    If you downloaded it as a .zip file you need to rename the extension to a .ipsw. Or redownload it with firefox.
