3.1.2 and restoring on PC

[BothEyesShut]

Hi Everyone,

I backed up my iPhone 3G on my WinXP PC approx 3 days ago, because I was worried that my Categories app might crash things somehow.

Then my Categories app crashed things somehow. I updated a bunch of apps, and since then I?m not able to see the contents of any of those folders. I tried everything to fix/delete/manipulate Categories, but it's permafux'd.

It looks like I?m going to have to restore, but I don?t know whether I ought to upgrade and Blackra1n again, or if I can restore without upgrading from 3.1.2, or what. I?m a little confused, and I feel like I could do something terribly unnecessary if I don?t ask someone ? so here I am. I just want my stupid phone to do what it was doing for so long so well.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Blackra1n doesn't work on 3.1.3, so if you upgrade you're stuck without a jailbreak.

That wasnt the question. Im in the same spot. Can you change restore your phone running 3.1.2 bck to 3.1.2 w/o updating through iTunes....

No. Especially since iTunes stopped signing any and all 3.1.2 firmwares. I don't know of any other way....
