I could slap myself right now... -.-

[xsalee]

I accidentally 'erased all content and settings' on my jailbroken iphone 3gs. it was jailbroken using jailbreakme and was on ios 4.0.1....

i sold my phone on ebay and was trying to delete all my data but keeping the jailbreak intact like i said i would if the buyer requested it.

it's been on the apple logo for a good 10 minutes now, but how much longer will this take? I read online it'll take like 2 hours?? is that right?

and it also says it's going to kick into DFU mode and I will have to connect to itunes to 'activate' it.

my question is... what do i need to do so that i can jailbreak it again. do i have to find the 4.0.1 ios online and manually install it so i can use jailbreakme again? will i have to activate with an at&t sim? help please

Yes, it will take several hours.

Did you save your SHSH blobs?

 

[xsalee]

noooo! >.< which is why i could slap myself... please tell me i'm not totally SOL?

how will i know when it's done restoring?

 

[xsalee]

i'm gonna try the option click in itunes to restore it to the ipsw file for 4.0.1 ... then try jailbreakme again.. good?

itunes will not let you restore to anything but 4.1 unless you saved you shsh files. If its the jailbreak you're worried about, update to 4.1 and use limera1n to jailbreak it.... you can find all the info about it and download link for it at limera1n.com

Well you can go ahead and slap yourself then
You screwed up pretty good this time.

 

[xsalee]

yeah the jailbreak was all i was really worried about. i went ahead and upgraded to 4.1 then jailbroke it using limera1n... along with my bf's 3gs and my new i4

thanks!
