Hi,

I did an erase all data on my iPhone 3GS. Its been 12 hours since it is showing me the apple logo only. I have it on 4.1 and it is unlocked. I do not want to reset it and load the new OS. I will not be able to unlock the iphone if i have the latest software?

Can someone please guide me how to get it back working?

Please HELP its URGENT :(

Very bad idea to click the erase all on a JB iphone.
What you need to do now is create a custom 4.3.3 ipsw that will save your unlockable baseband and restore to that using pwnage tool.

How do I do that??? Steps would be good.
 
You'll need to download the IPSW for 4.3.3 from Felix Bruns' website, and then use pwnagetool or snowbreeze (first for mac, second for windows) and create a custom IPSW that preserves your unlockable baseband. Then, put the phone in pwned DFU mode using either program and restore using shift restore in iTunes.
