I'm having problems with my screen and want to take my phone to Apple. I'm using a Blackra1n 3.1.2 JB 3GS....I've told iTunes NOT to update to 3.1.3, because as I understand it, this doesn't work for JBing?

Anyway, obviously I need to restore my phone before I go to Apple, but the only option it gives wen I click "restore" is to "restore and update," in which "the newest version of the iphone software will be installed." in other words 3.1.3 right?

How can I bypass this update?

If it's a 3GS, unless you saved your 3.1.2 SHSH thru Cydia, you can only restore to 3.1.3
 
I'm not sure if I did the Cydia save thing when I first got it, and right now it won't save to Cydia. Upgrading to 3.1.3 kills any chance of unlocking, correct?
 
In other words, I'm better off dealing with the problem and waiting till 4.0?
 
Does this also apply to the 3G? I want to sell my unlocked 3G but obviously not with all of my info on it. I was going to restore it but will that force me to update to 3.1.3 as well?

Nope, with a 3G you can restore it to any firmware you want.
With the 3GS theres a check before it lets you install any firmware on it.
