On the main question, YES pwnagetool does upgrade and preserve your BB!

Sometimes Cydia save those blobs for you! If shows 4.1, even if you have a new bootroom 3GS, you can come back to it. If you don't have any save, then your only solution is update to latest ipsw! Your current problem is in the firmware itself so nothing else would work!!

If so go ahead and try the 4.2.1. If no, is your 3GS new or old bootroom? Check on the serial the digit 3,4 and 5, the third is the year that was made, 4 and 5 is the week. If your is 9 and before week 45 is an old bootroom. if your is and old bootroom go ahead otherwise I will say no for now.

Redsn0w only jailbreaks you iphone. But try first the notifications off, it works on mine. You loose Facebook, messenger and other minimal notifications, so it is not that important.

Error 23 can also mean a dead battery! You need a good charged phone for a restore!!

Make sure to log in windows as admin and run Redsn0w in compatibility mode for XP.

I not sure if is the 3 and four digit, but it is something like that. To solve the battery issue, all you need to do, is that after the restore or update, you set your iphone as new device. Don't use your old personal settings. Regards, maicsa2 For further assistance click on follow me.
