best way for updating 3GS 3.1.2 to ios 4.0 ?

[smashhell]

Hello, sorry if this is a repeated post. I have been away for a while and wanted to be sure on this.

I want to update my jailbreaken/unlocked 3GS 3.1.2 to ios 4.0.

What is the best way to do it ?

I do have Cydia show that "it has SHSHs on file for 3.1.2,3.1.3,4.0,4.0.1,4.0.2".

Thank you very much !

Best would be if your phone is pwned at 3.1.2. Then, create or find (google) 4.0 custom firmware and just restore through itunes with that file.

If not pwned, download and run Tinyumbrella:
1) Make sure you Iphone is detected.
2) check "Advanced Options."
3) In new window, under "Device / Version," select the firmware you want to downgrade to.
4) Click on "Save my SHSH." Pray Cydia has them. If you don't get an error, it has been saved onto your computer.
5) Repeat to save other firmware hashes if you wish.
6) Now, click on "Display SHSHs." It should listed all hashes you have saved on your computer and firmware you can downgrade to.
7) Start "TSS server," download firmware file somewhere (google) and restore through iTunes with that file.
8) If you phone get stuck during restore, trying "Kick out of recovery..."'in Tinyumbrella.

For future reference when posting a question it's a huge help to provide as much information as is possible. The most important piece of information your left out was how you are JB.

ummmmm, what does pwned mean ? does it mean jailbreak ?

If it is, it means that I could just restore to ios 4.0 and still have jailbreak and unlock ?

Thank you all for the answers !

I just updated my girlfriends 3GS 3.1.2 (blackra1n) to iOS 4.0.1

I got the 4.0.1 software off the felixbruns website. Upgraded to the 4.0.1 file through iTunes (shift + click restore). Then jailbroke using JailbreakMe website on iPhone. Simple

Thank you all very much for the help !

I got it to work by just restoring to a ios 4.0 custom firmware !

The custom firmware comes with the jailbreak,then I just install UltraSn0w for the unlock.

Thank you all again !!

If you can use custom firmware, means your phone is pwned = run unsigned code. In the future, just continue to restore with custom firmware.
