After having jailbroken my 3Gs, I want to sync my ringtones in itunes onto my iphone but itunes opens in a "Setup your iphone" screen with options "setup as new iphone or restore from the backup" of my phone. How can I sync my ringtones?

iCrank said:You can restore from the backup while jailbroken. Right click on the device in iTunes and select restore from backup
It doesnt mean restore the firmware again.
It means start the phone with nothing i.e. A new phone.
Or restore it from a back up of before you updated, your sms's contacts etc will be restored.

Sounds like your backup file is from a newer iOS than what you are on right now, in that case you will not be able to restore it, backups are not backwards compatible. You can use a program like iPhone Backup Extractor to extract whatever you need from the backup.
No, you will not lose jailbreak it will just start you off fresh(no contacts, no music, no photos, no settings, etc.)
