If your using a 3G the highest firmware you can restore/install to is 4.2.1.....you don't need your SHSH files saved.... if your using tinyumbrella you need to un-check the "set host to cydia on exit" (or do this manually) then just do a normal restore and jailbreak with Greenp0ison or what ever

You can't restore through any other medium except iTunes...
Have you changed your host files in iTunes..?
Have you used tinyUmbrella at ANY time???

[tamgunner]
