I accidently just erased my iphone 3GS and i think i may have erased the firmware, I have to restore my ipod as it is stuck in recovery mode, do i need to update because i don't want to lose my unlock etc.
Got a tip for us?

Do you have your ECID SHSH's on file in Cydia? If you don't, you can't restore to 3.1.2.

That's the beauty of Saurik's solution: it's all stored on his server. You just need to edit your hosts file following these instructions, then shift/option+restore to whatever firmware you were just on and jailbreak and unlock the same way you did before.
So as long as i clicked make my life easier on cydia it should work ? or was there any other steps I had to take to get my information on this server.

If the request was still pending when Apple stopped signing, then you don't have them on file. The only way to find out without Cydia installed on your phone is to try to restore using Saurik's server and see what happens...

Pushed one of the reset buttons ?
Life lesson: Thats never a good idea !
Hope your SHSH is stored.
