Restore an unlocked / jailbroken 3gs?
My current 3gs is unlocked and jailbroken, but I bought a 4s and am going to get rid of this. I want to wipe out all my data on the phone but preserve the unlock and jailbreak. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Restore to custom firmware to preserve your baseband.

Are you trying to wipe out data ? You should restore to custom firmware of 4.1
