The chances of "bricking" your iPhone are very, very slim and almost never happens due to updating and/or Jailbreaking.
Backup your iPhone via iTunes, put your iPhone in DFU mode, then hit restore via iTunes. Download the JB from evasi0n.com.

I wouldn't say "never" for the updating part. A lot of people don't get the concept that you shouldn't unplug your device during a restore or that they should take special precautions when updating their jailbroken/UltraSn0wed devices

I do know not to unplug it as far as ultrasn0wed I didn't use that jb. That is why I've ask for the help that you two gave me. My question sounds probably basic to you guys but to me nobody talks about devices already jb just how to jb. Because without your answers I would have plugged it in updated and jb and probably had problem but know I've learned that I need to to put it in dfu then restore then jb. Thanks again guys
You do not need SHSH blobs when restoring to the latest iOS. That's a universal thing. Your phone's IMEI and baseband has no effect on your jailbreak-ability. As long as your iOS is supported, and your device is supported, you can jailbreak.
