After installing itunes 9.0.3 then again reboot your Computer. After rebooting, no need to open itunes. Keep it closed. Later when you open it you will have to move "itunes Library.itl" file from " C:\Users\(Your Computer Name)\Music\iTunes " . Drag and drop "itunes Library.itl" file to your desktop and close that folder.
Now run Blackra1n. Download it from www.Blackra1n.com . Run Blackra1n on your device , it will Hacktivate your iphone. Now you will be on 3.1.2 with baseband 5.13.04. Then Download Cydia from Blackrain. After downloading Cydia from Blackrain , go ahead and install "Ultrasn0w" . If you don't have Ultrasn0w repo in Cydia then add this source in Cydia "http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com". Then reboot your iphone 3gS, you will be back in action. You will have fully jailbroken and Unlocked iphone 3gS again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Error 3194/3195 is only shown if you DID NOT have your SHSH blobs saved in Cydia Server earlier on 3.1.2 firmware. We are required to save our SHSH blobs on each and every firmware. Meaning Every firmware will have its own SHSH blobs/files.

@YankeesStadium2010 U will not go down to 3.1.2. You will downgrade from 4.1 to 4.0.1.

@YankeesStadium2010 As mentioned in the video you can only downgrade if shsh blobs were saved earlier for that phone in Cydia. So follow every step written in the description. Read and make all necessary changes in your "Hosts" file on your computer. Then follow with downgrade. But even if you are successful in downgrading, u will only be able to Jailbreak -not be able to Unlock because your baseband will be different. On 4.1 firmware u can enjoy Gamecenter and jailbreak is also coming soon.
