That has nothing to do with JB. "Erase all content..." option is on every iPhone, stock or not. And, to OP, if you did that, it also erases the OS. Just go into iTunes and do a restore. Don't need to be in DFU mode.
Hi yes the phone is jailbroken it stl looks like its trying to start up like it was lastnight. Even after pressing the two bottons it goes off but wen i put it back on it does the same thing. It not making a sound when i put the charger in either. Wil a restore on itunes delete all my aps?
I have no idea its real silly that the iphone has no option to erase all contacts at once, thats why i had to do erase all content now i wish i had done in manually
Ok, if your phone is jailbroken it DOES matter. It erases some of the JB. Ok, try plugging your phone into your computer, holding the sleep/wake button for 10 seconds, after that, continue holding the sleep/wake button and simultaneously hold the home button for another 10 seconds, next release the sleep wake button and hold just the home button for 15 seconds. Your iPhone should pop up in iTunes as an iPhone in recovery mode and you can restore it from there.
Is your iPhone unlocked or is it ok for you to factory restore? A restore will erase EVERYTHING on the phone. You will have to re-jailbreak. It will also change your iOS to 4.2.1. Do you have your SHSH blobs saved in Tiny Umbrella?
EDIT: This thread may get more help in the iPhone Hacks forum section.

Oh.... This may go beyond my level of expertise. I'd recommend posting a new thread on the iPhone Hacks section of the forum. I'm not an unlocker. As far as I know, there is no way to preserve the baseband unless you create a custom IPSW using redsn0w and then restoring it to that once you have it in DFU. Sorry I couldn't be more help...
Good luck,
Good luck,
Again, highlighting the need to have a jailbreak only section...takes 5 post for people to remember that they've JB, which is kind of pertinent information.
No. Apple uses SHSH security checks for allowing or denying you ability to restore. Generally, they only allow you to restore to the latest firmware, right now 4.2.1. If you were able to saved the old SHSH files when Apple was still allowing and sending them out, you can trick iTunes into allowing you to restore to firmware you have SHSH files saved. And, SHSH files are unique for each device and firmware version. Thus, you can't use someone else or for another firmware. Thus, if you want to restore to official 4.0.1, do you have SHSH files saved for your iPhone?
