Hey, i tried to do the pwnage tool, but didnt realize i had to hold option when hitting restore. so it just restored to my factory and used a backup. so basically my phone is how it was originally. should i just put it back into recovery mode then re-restore with the ipsw that i already created? or should i do the whole pwnage process over? thanks!
Got a tip for us?

You should be OK with using that, but unless you really don't want to it can't hurt to redo it??? Unless you are one of those people that hates wasting time. If your just sitting around not using your phone then really, why not?

lol. i was basically sweating the entire half hour or so the whole process took. i am terrified that the phone i bought yesterday will be bricked tomorrow lol. i want nintendo though lol! should i put it into recovery mode before restoring, or can i just hit restore while holding down option?

Put it in recovery mode.
just did it and got the pinapple, but it just stayed on that with the loading indicator behind it. nothing happened. i read that i may have to uninstall the "legal" apps i installed and then do the pwnage. ill have to do it later tonight. restoring back to factory now lol.
My phone got stuck in the last bit of the restore.
At this point, the phone was also stuck at the boot logo.
I unplugged the phone, ran the Pwnage tool again, and this time, right after telling it to restore from my back-up, I unplugged it.
I read about this somewhere, so I decided to go for it, and it worked.
I rebooted the phone, plugged it back in, and iTunes started to sync as usual. I didn't have to remove any of my apps before this process.
