Iphone won't boot up. Help please!

[Spade5]

Okay, so I turned my phone off earlier today and when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't boot up. The apple logo would appear and then it would go back to a black screen.

I have a 3gs on 3.1.2.
I jailbroke it for the first time about a month ago using reds0w.
When I first opened cydia I selected the "make my life easier" option.

I can put my phone into recovery mode, but it won't let me go into DFU. After 8 seconds of holding the sleep and home button the screen flashes white and then turns off... but if i let go of the sleep button before it flashes it goes into recovery.

I tried to restore to 3.1.2 using redsn0w. I went through the installation process, but when it was finished it still wouldn't boot.

Then I tried to do a custom restore to 3.1.2 with itunes, but it told me that my phone isn't eligble...

Then I tried to use umbrella to save my shsh, but it says that it can't.
I changed the host files and used my phone's ECID.

Is there anyway I can restore without upgrading to 3.1.3?

Best bet is 3.1.3 if not sounds like a hardware issue that Applecare can cover.R u awake?

If you chose "make my life easier" what are you worried about?

Updating to 3.1.3... *sigh* please hold.

So is there anyway to re-jailbreak once I'm done updating?

So I finally got my phone to restore. I had to change the host files back because I kept getting an error message saying that I couldn't connect to apple's update server.

Then after a long battle with my computer restored from my backup....that was made in Dec.... So I lost about 4 months worth of data. Awesome.

Also for some reason I've lost ever app that I've downloaded, except 2 that I deleted off my phone back way when... Is there anyway to get my paid apps back without paying for them again? If not that just sucks.

Just redownload the apps. You won't be charged again.
