Can't you download to iTunes on your PC first?

Updating the software will lock the phone again.

Try downloading the update first before installing it, rather than d/ling it on the fly. No idea about in-jailbreak in it though (other than updating it)

It will lock back to Orange once it detects what SIM is installed.

whatever you do do not go to setting and erase content and settings, it'll brick it.

put it into DFU mode prior to restore (press and hold home button and power for ten seconds (until turns off) keep hold of home and release power - you'll get a blank screeen) then update.

You can download the ipsw from felixbruns and hold shift and click restore in itunes to load that firmware.

Jailbraking is not unlocking.

Unlocking allows the phone on any network.

Jailbraking allows the installation of software *not* from the AppStore.

One is assuming its using ultrasn0w if the jailbreak allows networks
