Hi, All!
I have a jailbroken 3GS with the following specs:
Modem Firmware 05.13.04
iOS v 4.0.1 (8A306)
Boot-359.3 ("old")

Purchased on eBay, unlocked with ultrasn0w
I'm currently in South America
the phone came with an AT&T chip in it, says Sin Servicio (No Service)
I've yet to actually use it as a phone

I'd like to restore and upgrade to 4.2, but have a few questions on some of the details. I've done lots of reading but there are so many variables. . .

I don't plan on jailbreaking or unlocking after the restore, but want to retain the possibility of doing so.

Do I need to back up some blob or SHSH or IPSW before the restore?

If I don't plan on using the phone as a phone, do still I need to unlock or hacktivate it to use it as an iPod camera with bluetooth?

Anything else to consider with my end goal in mind?

Cheers and thanks in advance - J
