Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Dev's have just found where apple keeps the IBEC/IBSS files needed for jailbreaking the 3g[s], whereas the ECID (purplera1n file) is needed for firmware authorization upon restore on the iphone 3g[s]. They are used for different things.
In other words, do both... just in case

Purplera1n gives you the iBSS certificate. This other method gives you the iBSS and iBEC. Geohot found where it was originally, and the Devs just found it. I believe the Dev team is implementing these files into their jailbreak, prob because they didnt know another way to jailbreak prior. Its a good idea if you plan on using the Dev Teams JB to get these files. The method I created is a much simpler way to get these files than what the Devs have posted about the /tmp folder. This will save you half of the time and only one restore so give it a shot...
