Thanks for the detailed response. The 24Kpwn exploit is what I was forgetting. I may downgrade to 3.2 as my blobs are on Sauriks server. Not sure if I want to mess right now.
3GS pwned and now I have my Cydia crashing as soon as I tap the icon
Had tried to restore again but no luck...any clues??
I'm having the same problem right now. I'm trying to restore the same custom IPSW again to see if it changes anything.
Did you create the IPSW using PwnageTool 4.0 or 4.0.1?

Do you have any Cydia apps installed? MyWi causes a Cydia crash as does older versions of iBlacklist. I could not get PDAnet to work in WiFi mode. When I uninstalled all the Cydia apps, I no longer got the Cydia crash. Note that there is a Cuydia update that should be installed. the latest version of iBlacklist works fine, but they advertise that it will work with 4.0. Unless the app has said it's 4.0 compatible, there's a ver good chance it will crash Cydia putting you into safe mode.
I tried building a new IPSW with only Cydia installer, and it still crashes. In this instance when Cydia crashes, it just goes back to the home screen, not safe mode.
Just when I get my phone set up the way I want it, the Dev-Team releases a new version of PwnageTool (4.0.1) to fix the iBooks problem I hadn't yet realized I had. Ah, well. Looks like another restore is in my future...
I follow my own advice and set up as new. When I re-restore I will use my 4.0 backup.
Haha, yeah I actually re-installed the IPSW with the new 4.01 tool last night. It takes a little while re-sync'ing 30GB into the phone but oh well. The iBooks app is works now.
That's what I'm hoping
You'd think that if they can jailbreak the iPhone 4, then that exploit should work on a 3gs as well.3GS pwned and now I have my Cydia crashing as soon as I tap the icon

Finally got it figured out! You'll need to create your IPSW with PwnageTool in *SimpleMode*.
There may be a way to get it to get it working in ExpertMode, but I tried a really simple combo and it still didn't work for me.
hmmm to sell or not to sell...that is the question. My phone should be able to jailbreak and unlock with this info (Im currently jailbroken on 3.1.2 using Pwnage). However, I actually think owning this 16gb 3GS is rare right now. I could get $450-$500 jailbroken and unlocked on ios4, BUT I can't decide if I want to keep it or upgrade to ios4. Also, the iphone4 looks nice, but I just don't want to give up tethering with MyWi.
I need advice. Should I sell or not sell jailbroken and unlocked this way? Would it be better to keep my 3GS?

It's easy
for your 3G:
1. Upgrade to iOS4 via iTunes
2. Jailbrake via redsn0w
3. Unlock via ultrasn0w
Does the phone needed to be activated to use pwnage tool 4.0? I can't figure out why it's not working for my unactivated 3.1.3
Are you sure?
I did the update to 4.0 on the release day. Then this evening I followed the instructions here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/downgrade-iphone-3g-3gs-from-ios-4-to-3-1-2/
and managed to put 3.1.2 back and jail broke than and used the Pwnage tool from there.
In the link above ignore the first instructions (They don't work). Go down until you read a comment about adding a line to /etc/hosts
I'll post that bit here below. It mentions the path for windows but the host file is the same on the mac just that it's /etc/hosts
------------------------
1. Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Restore
-
2. Connect your iPhone to the USB and put it into DFU mode. iTunes will display an alert stating you need to restore your device, click ok then hold option + click restore and navigate to your previously downloaded 3.1.2 FW.
3. After the restore finishes you should be hit with a 1015 error. Thats expected. Your phone should be in Recovery mode now and iTunes will tell you to restore again. Click OK then hold option + click on restore again this time you do not have to go into DFU mode and navigate to the 3.1.2 FW.
Jailbreak
4. After the restore finishes again itll throw another 1015 error. Thats expected again. This time, just select OK and close iTunes. Fire up redsn0w make sure its the 0.9.4 version and jailbreak as normal. Uncheck all the ticks while jailbreaking.
5. After the jailbreak is finalized your device should reboot and strange enough you successfully downgraded to 3.1.2.
------------------------
This works only if your iPhone has its SHSH on file in Cydia, which can only happen if you've either previously jailbroken or backed them up using TinyUmbrella.
