    Default How should I wipe my phone before selling? (i4 on 4.0)

    Well, I'm going to sell my iPhone 4 in a week or so. I've been setting up my iPhone 3g for use until an iPhone 5 or good android phone comes out for AT&T.

    I've been reading around, people say to use the "erase all content and settings" option, but I'm extremely worried about that because when I did that to my 3G, it got stuck in a boot loop and I had to restore on iTunes.
    I also cannot restore with iTunes because I want to preserve the 4.0/01.59.00 firmware and baseband since it makes the selling price considerably higher. I do not have the 4.0 SHSH blobs saved, the lowest is 4.0.2.

    So, my question is, what should I do to erase my phone before selling it? Should I sync it with another computer so that it erases all apps, musics, etc? What about e-mail, itunes account, contacts? I really need help with this.

    Thanks in advance!
