What is the current firmware and baseband on the phone? And, to restore to anything other than 4.2.1, you need to have old SHSH files saved.

if you updated your baseband you can not go back you can downgrade the firmware. if you have blobs saved but you can not downgrade you baseband.

Did you try Tinyumbrella's "Kick out of recovery..." option? If that doesn't work, try using Pwnagetool (Mac) or Redsnow (Windows) put phone into special DFU mode, and then, restore with 4.02 or 4.1 custom firmware fine (one that keeps the baseband). If that still fail, you only other option is to restore to official 4.2.1 because tha's the only SHSH files you have saved which would also update the baseband to 3.10.

You only have the SHSH for 4.2.1 and 4.2 b3. Those are the only ios you can upgrade to.

Well, is your phone either factory unlocked or unlocked with ultrasn0w before? If it is the former then you are OK. The latter, you are pretty much hosed for now.
