4.3 messed after Jailbreakme, need to update to 4.3.3

[Flathed]

I recently purchased a iPhone 4 and it was un-jailbroken on 4.3. I decided to try out Jailbreakme.com and easily JB'ed it. Then I tried to "Clear and Delete". It hung overnite with the Apple over the empty progress bar. Now it only boots tethered. I want to have a un-tethered JB so I wanna ether fix 4.3 or update to 4.3.3. No SHSH's saved except 4.3.5. Tried iFaith, it hung as well. Re-JB'ed it with redsn0w, it stayed in DFU after completion. I did a tethered boot, re-jailbreakme.com'ed it, then rebooted, and again in DFU. Am I forced to update to 4.3.5?

From the information given from what I can see, it looks like it.

You don't "clear and delete" jailbroken phones. If you don't have shsh as you told 4.3.5 is your only option.

+1. Better try iFaith again if you're set on not going to 4.3.5. If iFaith fails, which is your last hope of avoiding 4.3.5, well you'll just have to tough it out until iOS 5 drops.
