There is nothing special to upgrading when jailbroken or not. You must use the official upgrade path which means losing unlock and jailbreak, and then re-jailbreak and re-unlock if you want and if it is possible with the new firmware. So...

  1. Plug it in
  2. Follow the prompts in iTunes

Is it possible with the new firmware? I thought there was something special that you had to do. – michaellindahl Jan 18 '11 at 1:49
