Restored and updated to 3.1.3 I saved my info on cydia/rock. How do I get 3.1.2 back?

So one night my phone restarts itself and freezes on the restarting springboard page. So I turned my phone off. I went to my computer opened up blackra1n and tried to boot it up again but it just hung on the screen with geohot. I tried this for an hour or so. Turned phone off, tried putting it in DFU, and even uninstalled rain and downloaded program again to no avail. So I got fed up and restored because I know I hit the make my life easier button on Cydia. Although it may have been Rock. Now my question to you guys is what exactly are the steps in getting my iPhone back to 3.1.2 so I can jailbreak again! And unlocking is not a priority to me. I am locked in contract to Att so I won't be needing any other carrier.

I am using a MacBook and I have the 3gs. I thank you all in advance.

Jailbreak Broken...

I am in exactly the same boat. iTunes is playing, a call trys to come through, the signal drops, (happens like this every couple days) and usually the bars come back after a few seconds of "no service" and "searching". Today the bars didn't come back and when I tried to hard reset, the phone wouldn't boot. I had to reinstall, I've followed all the instructions I can find, but still can't get iTunes to accept the old 3.1.2. I have SHSH on file with cydia, (it said on file for 3.1.3 in cydia). I had an untethered jailbreak with blackra1n.

Here's the error I get when I try to downgrade:

Did saurik change the IP of his signature server? I have:
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
in my "hosts" file.
I'm mildly frustrated at this point.:(:(:(

PS: I had to change the URL above because I'm a new user.

as you said, it had the 3.1.3 SHSH on file NOT the 3.1.2 which is why you are unable to restore to 3.1.2. Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to downgrade.

3.1.3 Shsh??

Ya, but I only had 3.1.2 on the phone when I hit the button, so where did that come from. (obviously I couldn't have been on 3.1.3 if I had cydia installed.)

I wish people understood the whole SHSH thing better.

The SHSH is the response the Apple server sends to a unique 3GS when it requests to restore to a particular version. The only way that Cydia saves these is by sending the request to the Apple server, the Apple server sends the response and the Cydia server saves it. Apple STOPPED sending approvals for 3.1.2 when 3.1.3 came out. So, if you got your device AFTER 3.1.3 came out, but your device had 3.1.2 on it, you were able to jailbreak but UNABLE to restore to 3.1.2. At that point, you needed to create a custom restore ( assuming you have the OLD bootrom ) to 3.1.3 that preserves the jailbreak.

So, no you weren't on 3.1.3, but Cydia saves SHSHs for every firmware version that it can so that you can downgrade to that version at some point if you want. If you don't have the SHSH saved for a particular firmware though, you CANNOT restore back to it. The SHSH is not just 1 thing, it's a unique paring for a 3GS and firmware version.

That clears things up some (but not in a happy way). I was understanding the SHSH process to be a hash of my phone only, I didn't realize apple's response was included in the blob.
Drat.

So I guess I'll be handicapped for a while (hopefully not for too long). Is there a native SSH server or terminal in the unJB'd OS? I never knew how usefull they were until today when they weren't there.

There's a native SSH client so you can remote connect to machines, but not so you can do anything to the iPhone itself.
