Stuck on restore. Have 3.1.2. iTunes wants to give me 3.1.3

[Jason81]

So I was having a problem with my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) not connecting to or even showing my home wifi network. I went to restore the network settings (the solution I found on some obscure forum) and it got stuck on the black screen with the apple logo. I tried to do a restore but iTunes is telling me in order to restore I have to update to 3.1.3. HELP! PLEASE! What do I do?

BTW I am jailbroke and unlocked and would like to stay that way.

Well hopefully you have your SHSH backed up on cydia so you can do the restore then downgrade to 3.1.2 then rejailbreak and unlock

If you don't have your shsh's saved thru cydia then you might be stuck having to restore to 3.13 and losing your jb and unlock.
Do you have a tethered jb or not? Did iTunes give you a message that you cannot restore to the 3.1.2 build?

I can not remember if I backed up on Cydia. How can I tell and how can I fix the problem if I did?

Try this tutorial to edit your host files.
It has instructions for both Mac and Windows computers.
Once you do that then you can try to restore to 3.1.2 to rejailbreak and unlock.
If it still tells you your iphone doesnt qualify for that build then it means you dont have them backed up thru cydias server.
