question about 3Gs with new bootrom?

I have a new bootrom 3GS as well. Nobody knows how long it will take, a new exploit will need to be discovered before a jailbreak can even be created. This could (and probably will be) months.
My good friend thelatinist has created a beautiful thread on how to check your bootrom version.

My situation is as follows....
I was sent a refurb from Apple a couple days ago...the refurb 3gs has the old bootrom, but was upgraded to 4.0.
Now I have to wait for god knows how long for the new bootrom JB even though I have the old.....talk about bad luck or what! lol

So i have an employee bring me a phone today, iPhone 3GS, jailbroken using SNOW months ago, connected to iTunes and upgraded to iOS4.
Everything I read says shes screwed correct? Am i missing something?
From what I understand it all depends on whether or not she has the new or old bootrom....easiest way to tell the difference is go into Settings...general...about and check out the 4th and 5th digit of the serial number...if it's anything over 40 then she has the new bootrom and will have to wait until a new jailbreak comes out.
Actually scrap all that..........now that she has a vinilla phone you'll have to wait anyhow, because the current jailbreak for 4.0 only works if you're ALREADY jailbroken and then install the custom firmware over top of it.
Am I right everyone? Please help this guy as I've probably just confused the issue, sorry I'd erase what I wrote before but my backspace key is broke! LOL jokes...

If she has her SHSH blob stored on saurik's server, she may be able to downgrade back.
It is.
The phone used to be mine, i had it jailbroken in the past and the SHSH blob is backed up.
