    Default Selling 3GS how to delete personal data and preserve unlock

    I have a 3GS unlocked using blackra1n. It is running 3.12 with base band 5.11.07

    I have sold the phone and will ship it on 6/25, the day after my Iphone 4 arrives from Apple (hopefully!)

    So is there way to delete personal data, contacts, and photos and not screw up the unlock?

    I think Cydia has two apps that might help. Iwipe and another that erases contacts called erase contacts. I wonder if in Itunes I deselect all photo folders and apps, Sync, and then delete all contacts with erase contacts ap and then run Iwipe if I will have cleaned up my phone enough to sell it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    In case it helps, I do have the SHSHs on file in Cydia

    If you have your blobs then just restore to 3.12 and unlock again - if the unlock for 4.0 hasn't been released by then.

    You sold pretty cheap. 32 gig for 435 you sold too low. If it were me selling a 32 in great shape with the old bootrom i'd have held for a minimum of $550.
