Hi Serg, when you jailbreak you phone, you will be able to install ultrasnow which is found in cydia. and since you have an iphone 3gs, if your baseband is not supported, you will need to update to the ipad baseband before proceeding. If you need to update your baseband, here is how, and then if you need to apply the semitether, this will explain what a semitether is and will instruct you on how to proceed.
Cheers!
