    You need 4.1 SHSH to restore to 4.1

    Download tiny umbrella to see what SHSH you can save.

    The jailbreak is tethered on 4.2.1 for iPhone 4 and it is a bit tricky to get there and preserve your baseband.

    What about jb without restore? Is it too late to get shsh for iPhone 4.0.2?

    Apple is only signing 4.2.1 now so that is the only SHSH you can save now.

    I wouldn't say screwed, your phone is working fine on 4.0.2 right? There isnt much new in 4.2.1. Just stay put for now.

    You can jailbreak it and unlock it on 4.0.2. Just use limera1n to jailbreak then install ultrasn0w from cydia to unlock.
