    None of the jailbreaks will brick your phone to the point that a restore cant fix.

    Restore to custom firmware created by Snowbreeze 2.1, just follow closely the dfu mode instructions and then shift + restore to the custom fw of 4.1. Since you are with official carrier, use expert mode & do not let Snowbreeze hactivate it for you.

    If you know you have the newbootrom, make sure you check the box for ibooty.
