iphone 3GS recovery only solution.....

,this phone came-in to the shop with a "recovery mode" only problem.

,the first thing that i do is to kick it out of recovery using tiny umbrella, result is the same.

,then i restore it using 4.1 firmware with my hosts file pointing to saurik server hoping that its shsh is saved, it came out with error 1604 (as seen from the image below), darn no saved shsh..



,then i try to restore it using 4.2.1 firmware, it came out with error 1015, and the result is still the same. hmmm...maybe this was unlocked before using the update baseband option..

,i check the logs and this is what is shows..



,so my speculation has been confirmed, the baseband has been updated to 6.15 that is why restoring to 4.2.1 ofw still gives me error.

,so to quote the dev team..

WARNING — YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF UPDATING TO 06.15.

1.There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.

2.If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).

3.Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re unlocker you should already be doing that).


,so from the number 3 quote above, to solve the problem i need to restore to a custom 4.2.1.

,so here's what i did..

1. download the custom ipsw here.
2. open redsn0w 0.9.6b6.
3. browse to 4.2.1 ofw.
4. check on "just enter pwned DFU right now" and wait for it to finish.
5. open itunes and shift-restore with the custom 4.2.1 ipsw.
6. wait till finish and itunes will not give you any error.

,here's the screenshot of the mobile..

iOS 4.0.1/4.0 jailbreak release may be coming out soon...

,the guy behind spirit, the userland jailbreak tool, is hinting on releasing the newest version of spirit that will jailbreak iOS 4.0 and probably 4.0.1. I maybe speculating but based on his recent tweets below..

I’m not waiting for 4.1 so I hope everyone has SHSH blobs saved. :p


SHSH blobs for 4.0.1 or 4.0 are fine; AFAIK there are no substantive differences except the bars


To be clear: if I don’t run into problems, it will work on 4.0 or 4.0.1. No need to update to 4.0.1. SHSH blobs for either are fine.


who will not speculate?,,,

as to his suggestions of saving your shsh blobs, here is tinyumbrella for windows to save your shsh blobs.

jailbreak 3GS new bootrom using snowbreeze update....

this is an update of my previous post here.

Now using sn0wbreeze 1.7 from ih8sn0w.

full details below as given by ih8sn0w...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS TUTORIAL ASSUMES YOU ARE ALREADY ON 3.1.2!
-------
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

* An iPhone 3G[S] -- new bootrom
* 3.1.2 already installed or 3.1.2 installed via SHSH blobs. <-- Broken blackra1n'd devices will work. (Especially if Spirit messed you up!).
* Payload Pwner-r3 for the 3GS.
* sn0wbreeze V1.7
* iBooty V1.3
* LibUSB (64-Bit users read carefully!!!)
* 3.1.2/4.0 3GS firmware downloaded.
-------
*NOTE : IF YOU HAVE THE SLEEP ISSUE, YOU WILL NEED TO RESTORE BACK TO 3.1.2 FIRST.*

STEP A : Installing LibUSB for iRecovery

Run this mini tool to detect your O/S + Arch. -- Windows + Arch. Detector

*********
WARNING : IF LIBUSB IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY, YOUR USB MIGHT NO LONGER WORK!
*********
Windows XP Users download this installer -- LibUSB Installer
*********
Windows Vista/7 users RUNNING 32-Bit:

* Download the installer and run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

*********
If you are a 64-Bit user, follow this tutorial -- LibUSB 64-Bit Tut
*********

Once LibUSB is installed iRecovery should be able to function now.
-------
STEP B : Pwning iBEC + iBoot

I : Download this easy tool here -- Payload Pwner-r3 for 3GS // It will help you create the payload + iBEC.

**SAVE THE PAYLOAD + iBEC WHERE iBooty is.**
-------
STEP C : Making a Custom IPSW

I : Download sn0wbreeze V1.7 from here -- sn0wbreeze V1.7

II : USE EXPERT MODE!

III : In General, Checkmark "Disable NOR Flash" <-- THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!!!

IV : Build it. It will be on your Desktop.

**CUSTOM BOOT LOGOS THAT ARE MADE IN sn0wbreeze WILL NOT WORK ON NEW BOOTROMS!**

*Mac Users : PwnageTool does not have this option. I don't think it will ever be in there. Use a Windows Virtual Machine or friends PC to create your firmware.*
-------
STEP D: iBooty Prep.

Most of you know of the utility iBooty that I made for Aki_nG.

It will work as long as you place all of the correct files there.

I : Download iBooty GUI here -- iBooty V1.3 and Extract it.

II : Extract your Custom IPSW created by sn0wbreeze with 7-Zip or another un-archiver.

III : Grab the kernelcache and bring it into the same folder as ibooty.
Aswell as DeviceTree from the folder "Firmware\all_flash\all_flash.n88ap.production\DeviceTree.n88ap"

IV :
* Rename your Kernel 4.0-Custom to "kernel.40"
* Rename your iBEC 4.0-Custom to "ibec.40"
* Rename your DeviceTree 4.0-Custom to "devtree.40"
======
Your folder should look like this :

- iboot.payload <-- Created with Payload Pwner.
- devtree.40 <-- Grabbed from Custom IPSW made by sn0wbreeze.
- ibec.40 <-- Created with Payload Pwner.
- irecovery.exe <-- Comes with iBooty.
- readline5.dll <-- Comes with iBooty.
- iBooty.exe <-- Comes with iBooty.
- kernel.40 <-- Grab from Custom IPSW made by sn0wbreeze.
- sn0w.img3 <-- Comes with iBooty.
- wait.img3 <-- Comes with iBooty.
======
-------
STEP E: Restoring to 4.0 + Booting
-------
*MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON 3.1.2 WHEN DOING THIS*

I : Run iBooty and Select "Prepare Device for Custom Firmware". Run the Process and if you see the image, you can proceed!

II : Now open iTunes and restore to the custom ipsw.

***WHEN DONE, YOUR DEVICE WILL GO INTO RECOVERY MODE. IT WONT BOOT.***
-------
STEP F : Booting

I : Just Re-Run iBooty and select "Boot It". If all goes well it will boot!
-------
Enjoy!
-------
Hopefully I can get a tool out there that will make all of this much easier. Of course, that only happens when I get bored from ppl msging me on Twitter =p

-------
Saving your iBSS

I : After Restoring, Go to the folder that you have specified to save your iBSS file.

II : You will see folders like (Per**.tmp). Go into one of them, and you'll see a folder called "Firmware". Go there. Then go to the folder "dfu".

III : Copy the iBSS file to a safe place, then you can remove the folder created by the iBSS Grabber.
------
STEP B : Creating custom 4.0 firmware.

III : Grab the kernelcache and bring it into the same folder as ibooty.
Also grab the iBEC from the folder "Firmware\dfu\iBEC.n88ap.RELEASE.dfu"

IV :
* Rename your iBSS 3.1.2 signed to "ibss312.dfu"
* Rename your Kernel 4.0-Custom to "kernel.40"
* Rename your iBEC 4.0-Custom to "ibec40.dfu"

Blacksn0w RC2 Unlock for iOS 4 is now out...

yep, you read it right, iOS4 can now be unlocked using Blacksn0w RC2.

but wait..there's a catch..only for 5.11 baseband..

the guy who released PushFix 2.0 for unlock 3.1.3 3GS and who released the Blacksn0w RC2 fix for 3.1.3 did it again..

read full story below..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Steve, the guy who was behind PushFix 2.0 (the first real fix for Push Notifications) for unlocked iPhones and Blacksn0w RC2 fix for iPhone 3.1.3 has just released Blacksn0w RC2 for iOS 4. This version of blacksn0w is basically a repackaged version of the original unlock released by geohot, and the binaries which were recently released by MSFT Guy for 05.11.07 baseband on iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.0 GM (formerly iPhone OS 4).



The official description of the package is as follows.

Use on Modem Firmware 05.11.07 ONLY!

V1.2: Support for 4.0 GM. Backwards compatible to 3.1.2/3 as well. V1.1: MyWi tethering fix

Geohot’s unlock for 3.1.2/3.1.3/4.0GM on the iPhone 3GS (and probably 3G). Please donate at http://blackra1n.com/ if you enjoy.

With 3.1.3 & 4.0 GM patch (when needed) by msft.guy. Packaged by Pushfix.info

This is an unofficial release but Geohot HAS given me permission to redistribute blacksn0w. All known issues with WiFi loss and boot loops seem to be fixed. If it doesn’t work for some reason, you should still get the SpringBoard. This allows you to uninstall if necessary. It is a little slower to boot because of the increased safety of the release. A 3GS boots to cell connection established in about 90 seconds in iOS 4 now (50% slower than 3.1.X).

Improvements may be made in the future.


If all those manual instructions were too hard for you to follow, you can now simply use this Blacksn0w RC2 package to get the job done. Simply follow the simple step by step guide below to unlock your iPhone 3GS on iOS 4, 05.11.07 baseband using blacksn0w RC2.

Warning Note: I have tested it and it is working. This is strictly for iPhone 3GS, with old bootrom and 05.11.07 baseband only. Also the Blacksn0w binaries are a little buggy, which will result in your phone taking at least 90 seconds on every reboot to catch carrier signals. Proceed only if you are an advanced user. Otherwise, wait for the official unlock and jailbreak tools which will be out in about two weeks time. We are not responsible if you end up bricking or locking your phone.

How to: Jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4:
Step 1: Follow the complete guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS using PwnageTool bundles on iPhone firmware 4.0.

How to: Unlock iPhone 3GS 05.11.07 Baseband on iOS 4:
Step 2: Once you are done with the jailbreak, you can now unlock your iPhone 3GS running custom iOS 4.0 firmware by using blacksn0w RC2 from Cydia. To do this:

Start “Cydia” on your iPhone.

Touch on “Manage” tab on the bottom.

Now touch on “Sources” as seen in the screenshot below:



Touch on “Edit” and then on “Add”. You will be prompted to enter a url source as seen in the screenshot below. Type “http://cydia.pushfix.info” and touch on “Add Source”.
Cydia will now automatically update your sources by following a series of automated steps.

After installation is completed. Search for “blacksn0w RC2 for iOS 4” in Cydia and install this application. This app will automatically unlock your iPhone 3GS so that you can use it with any carrier.



Step 3: Now simply restart your iPhone. Wait for at least 90 seconds for your phone to catch signals and voila! you should now have a fully unlocked iPhone 3GS, on iOS 4. [Thanks Steve!]

We have been hearing about this one aren’t we? but what we have now is final confirmation.

Sn0wbreeze V1.6 to Jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0

The iPhone hacker behind sn0wbreeze, f0recast and BlackBreeze today accidently put up a picture on his twitter account, showing version 1.6 of sn0wbreeze which promises to jailbreak iPod touch 2G on iPhone OS 4. The picture in question was removed quickly but the folks at The Technopath were quick enough to grab the image for everyone to see.



While there is no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on the release yet, but there is no reason why it shouldn’t be soon as iPhone OS 4 is set for June 7 release at WWDC where Apple is also expected to announce the next iPhone.

if the country of origin is Saudi Arabia or UAE, the carrier is Mobily for Saudi Arabia and Etisalat for UAE, then the phone is factory unlocked.

if the country of origin is Egypt with carrier as either mobinil or vodafone, or Jordan with carrier as Orange, then the phone is locked to carrier.

the information is taken from the old website of apple which has since been deleted and replaced. Luckily the old table is saved on another website from which I have taken this information.

Hope this will be of some help..

Preventing baseband update as a last-ditch effort

this post is from the dev team in response to the "remove cable during firmware update" solution, that has been released by andy_jpn and h4ckermyles of gsmhosting.com and gsmsandwich.com.ph respectively, that will preserve the baseband to 5.11 even after the update to 3.1.3 fw.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
below are the details as taken from their site.

Preventing baseband update as a last-ditch effort

What is it?

This page describes a “last-ditch” way to prevent a baseband update for those who ignored the warnings on http://spiritjb.com to not use Spirit if you're using blacksn0w on an iPhone 3GS without 3.1.2 SHSH blobs on file.

This is not a jailbreak or an unlock by itself. It's much safer than the “pull your USB cable during Firmware Update” method that's making its way around the forums (that method has the potential to brick your baseband if your timing is off).

Some people who were using blacksn0w on their iPhone 3GS at 3.1.2 tried to apply the Spirit JB without removing blackra1n despite all the warnings against this. Those who did usually found themselves in a reboot loop or stuck at the Apple or recovery screen. If they did this on an iPhone 3GS without 3.1.2 SHSH blobs on file, they got stuck with an inoperable phone. That's because restoring to stock 3.1.3 (to get out of the loop) also updates the baseband past the point where the currently released unlocks will work.

The number of iPhone 3GS jailbreakers using blacksn0w who do not have 3.1.2 SHSH hashes on file with Cydia is probably very small. Do not use this method if Cydia has your 3.1.2 SHSH hashes on file – it's overkill! Just restore to 3.1.2 using your saved hashes instead. (But if you've already got 3.1.3's baseband on your iPhone, it's already too late for you and you must wait for the next unlock. This method doesn't change that.).
When should I use this method

Only use this method if you meet *all* of these requirements:


Using an iPhone 3GS; and

No 3.1.2 SHSH blobs on file with Cydia (or locally on your computer); and

You've never updated or restored (or bought your iPhone with) stock 3.1.3 before; and

Have access to a SIM card that will allow your iPhone 3GS to activate through iTunes. This is an important requirement because if you don't meet it then this method is pointless since you won't be able to use the Spirit JB. Note that you'll only need this SIM card to activate the iPhone before running Spirit, and you don't need to keep it after that.

You're currently in a reboot loop or stuck in recovery mode. If you're not, and if the only thing you're trying to do is switch to an untethered jailbreak, then please reconsider what you're about to do. (You may want to leave well enough alone for now.)

Please consider this method a “last-ditch” way to undo your previous mistake only.

What is the method

This method “mostly” restores to 3.1.3, but makes the restore process error out at a safe point by removing the LLB image from the stock IPSW. The error will occur before the NOR is erased and before the baseband is reflashed.


1. Make sure you have rslite or iRecovery handy and that you can run it. You'll need to use it after iTunes errors out.

2. Unzip the 3.1.3 IPSW. You'll be making three changes to it.

3. Remove Firmware/all_flash/all_flash.n88ap.production/LLB.n88ap.RELEASE.img3

4. Edit Firmware/all_flash/all_flash.n88ap.production/manifest. Remove the first line (LLB.n88ap.RELEASE.img3) then save back the file.

5. Remove the two references to LLB in BuildManifest.plist. You want to remove the lines starting with LLB up to and including the next matching (this will be 17 lines).

LLB

BuildString
iBoot-636.66.33~4
Info

IsFirmwarePayload

Path
Firmware/all_flash/all_flash.n88ap.production/LLB.n88ap.RELEASE.img3

PartialDigest

QAAAADgBAQBmTeQNOchSWUN8/P56yjPVrrML
2w==



Do this removal twice…once in the first half of the file, and once in the second half.

6. Zip it all back up. Keep in mind that the top-level of the zip should be that directory where BuildManifest.plist is. (Don't zip it from the folder one level up from this by mistake).

7. Restore or update to this modified IPSW (not the stock one from Apple!). It will eventually error out (error #6).

8. Use rslite or iRecovery to get past the subsequent recovery screen. Using rslite, you'd do:

% rslite
rslite v0.2 - by the iPhone Dev Team, 2009.
--THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED TOOL--

Connecting...
[Recovery] setenv auto-boot true
[Recovery] saveenv
[Recovery] reboot


9. Using your valid (but temporary if need be) SIM, activate the iPhone then use Spirit from http://spiritjb.com to jailbreak. Then use Cydia to install the blacksn0w unlock.

iFixer Fix for Spirit and Blackra1n Jailbreak Users

iFixer is a new utility that will fix iTunes 9.1.x related errors when running Spirit Jailbreak for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, or blackra1n on Windows. The program basically has two buttons: “Make it Spirit!” and “Make it ra1n!”. Clicking on each of them will solve the respective iTunes 9.1.1 related issue.




You must place iFixer.exe in the same folder as Spirit.exe or Blackra1n.exe for them to work properly. Here is a short video which explains the running procedure.



iFixer for Windows can be downloaded from here.
