3.1.2 Jailbreak Released

What is the error

 

this is what i was saying way earlier in this thread and was told i was wrong anywho this is what worked for me

http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-iphone-3.1-to-3.0.1/

from what i understand again i was told i was wrong if your phone is not jailbroken at 3.1 or above then it will error when installing the custom ipsw. now i did get it to install on my un jailbroke 3.1 but there was no cydia so i really couldnt tell if it was jb or not so i followed the instructions in that link and went back to 3.0 and used redsnow to jailbreak 3.0 once that was done i was able to install the custom 3.1 firmware and since then i have used the itunes method to go to 3.1.2

 

Ot sure what problem everyones having but if he gives me the error code I can tell him exactly what to do...

 

Try this load iTunes then turn your phone off then when it's unpluged hold down the home button and and plug it in and keep holding home till the iTunes logo pops up on ur phone the follow the restore instructions I gave also make sure u didn't download a 3g firmwAre and u have a 3gs phone

 

hi, the error code is (1604)

 

1604 is a comunication error that plagues Iphones mainly ones using xp. The best work around is to put it in restore mode (see my last post) the error is generated by iTunes not being able to put ur phone in restore mode itself

 

okay when i try that step, it put me into recovery mode and then its still doesn't work again.

 

Try a different USB port or even a new USB cable. If that don't work it may be your phone or iTunes. Make sure your using 9.01. One of my friends had a different error and the best he could do was jailbreak to 3.0. So if all else fails goto this site and it will walk you thru that proccess http://www.stateofthesceneaddress.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Jailbreak_the_iPhone_with_Redsn0w

hope it helps

 

then try dfu mode, and if that doesn't work, try on another computer.


Also, please don't follow what sattninja listed to downgrade from 3.1

That is not necessary and not recommended. Just update from 3.1 to the jailbroken 3.1.2 ipsw I have made.



TO users afraid about upgrading baseband, you can simply tell itunes not to do it. When itunes says that there is an update to the carrier settings, just say you don't want it to apply it.

My firmwares (ipsws) that I made preserve your baseband. So if you want to stay at an unlockable baseband, use one of mine.

 

Here is two ways to put your phone in dfu mode

Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.

Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.

Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.

Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode
Alternative Method:


Step 1. Connect iphone to USB then listen to the sound when it connect and disconnect.

Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.

Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.

 

okay i got it into dfu mode, but then when i try to restore, it said error 1600, then i just restore it back to 3.1.2. i downlaod the unactivated custom firmware.

 

ive looked around a bit for you and all i can find on error 1600 during a dfu restore is to retry it in regular mode... It sounds like its just a random error. I had similar issues with my first iphone. Yea some phones just seem to be buggier than others. Like a buddy of mine tried to install the 3.1.2 on two phones the first went great the for the first phone but kept giving him a 1604 error on the second phone its freaking weird.

 

so what should do now? should i go back to 3.0 and jailbreak that?

 

If I were u I would try again in regular mode

 

ooh i tried it, but it still doesn't work. I even did it with my sister laptop.

 

sorry bout that man sad business... go ahead and just jailbreak 3.0 there really isnt alot of difference in the new one anyway...

 

With that, the only fix people have found is just trying random different computers.

So that's your real chance

 

and i was led to believe by tv that apple just worked with no problems...

 

nope...

 

Darn you Justin Long!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn you!!!
