iphone 3gs updated with 4.0 firmware

Okay guys i bought a iphone It was a At&t phone had it for a week and for some reason my girl friend decided it would be a good idea to Update it today with the new 4.0 firmware.
"because it was new" FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!1!1!1

what my question is, is there a update for either sn0wbreeze, blackra1n, redSn0w.
or any other programs to hacktivate my phone?
for I do not have the sim card so i see the lock screen.
I have been reading that there is no way as of yet I have to wait a little while for there to be one made but I guess this is my last ditch effort to ask in a fourm if there is a way

Thanks in advance and happy coding!

 

Hi! ^o^

Was the device Jailbroken before? If it was, do you know if it had SHSH hashes on Saurik's server? If you are unsure you can download Firmware Umbrella from here, hook up your device and see if it will download the older firmware hashes from CYDIA server. If it will, there is hope, if it won't you're out of luck.

If it does download the hashes, browse to this location "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open the "hosts" file in notepad and add "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" to the bottom of the notepad and save it, then install the lower firmware of your choice through itunes as normal, by holding shift, clicking restore then browsing for the firmware file. You can download firmware files from here. You will need to change the file extension from .rar to .ipsw for itunes to recognise it. It will only install the the firmware which you have hashes on file for, so if you'd don't have hashes for firmware 3.0, you won't be able to downgrade to it and so on. Unfortunately the only way you're gonna be able to hacktivate the device at this current time is to downgrade it first then jailbreak it.

If you need anymore help, just let me know! ^o^

Edit - From my experience, when trying to downgrade, I've had to downgrade my version of itunes also. It's just trial and error, so just give it a shot. lol

 

Hey link thanks for your quick reply so i got umbrella and this is what it said when i clicked save my shsh

Im sorry to ask this but the shsh what is that the only thing i could find on the subgect was Blobs for spirit
I am also sorry for asking but where do i get my hash? i looked up the server but no luck

Is this the tut i should be reading?
Will that work for my 3gs?

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! I wish you all the best!!

 

By the looks of it, you've only saved the SHSH for firmware 4.0. After looking at firmware umbrella again, I realised that you need to click the advanced options box and this will show some more drop down boxes. From there select another firmware revision for 3gs from the second drop down and leave location as Cydia. I would suggest 3.1.2 or 3.1.3. If Firmware Umbrella doesn't get the SHSH blobs for any of those firmwares, then you're screwed.

That tutorial you posted is right and will work for your 3Gs, but only if there are SHSH Blobs on Cydia for lower firmwares. You will know this after trying to download them using Firmware umbrella.

I'm not sure what you meant here... o.0 The SHSH blob is basically what is used in the signing process by Apple whenever you do a restore or upgrade for your device. As far as I'm aware, they've used it on every device now since the iPhone 3Gs. if you follow that tutorial you linked in your previous post, you wont need to worry where your SHSH blobs are as itunes will be redirected to Saurik's server to be signed instead of Apple's which is why you can still downgrade when Apple stops signing.

This will be the message firmware umbrella will give you if it can't get an SHSH for your selected firmware revision.I requested and SHSH for 3.0.1 and got:

Also, after getting the SHSH using Firmware umbrella, it should save them in "C:\Users\[CURRENTUSER]\.shsh"

I hope this is making sense... lol

 

Free1 what baseband have you got?

 

As his iphone has been updated to IOS4 officially, he will have baseband 5.13.04. Althogh this can be unlocked, he can't at the moment until he downgrades and jailbreaks his device again, because as far as I'm aware, there isn't a jailbreak for 3GS on IOS4 unless you update with a custom IOS4 firmware from Quickpwn or sn0wbreeze. So unless he can downgrade, he won't be able to unlock and use his device again until there's a jailbreak tool released.

I've already done a couple of 3GS for people who have "accidentally" updated thier device, so I can tell you first hand that with a lil persistance, you can get it working again! ^o^

 

I won't lie im no expert but I think your wrong to be honest.

Is your iPhone jailbroken?

 

I assume you mean me? lol I have a 3Gs jailbroken on IOS4 with Baseband 05.12.01, which is the baseband for 3.1.3 firmware. I updated using a custom firmware which is why my baseband hasn't been updated to the latest one, 05.13.04. I would have had a lower baseband than that, but whilst trying to update to 3.1.3 with a custom firmware, I carelessly selected the wrong firmware! >.< What a n00b mistake to make. lol

 

Take your scam links elsewhere! >.< anything to do with iphone tutorials and software can easily be found for free anywhere online!

Ignore this persons links!!!

 

Didn't mean you link!!

Try this open Cydia, Manage, sources

Edit, Add then type http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com (symbol on sn0w is the number 0)

Hit add source

Then search for ultrasn0w 0.93 and install the app.

Your phone should reboot then insert your sim card it should say waiting for activation it should only be there for a second.

After this your phone should be activated/unlocked.

I downloaded 3.1.3 fim and just tried to put it on my iphone
I get the error message {3194} downgrade itunes too?

and yes i changed # 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

 

After having a quick float around the noet, I found that the error you're experiencing is the same as the 1015 error and you should be able to fix it using this, but i can't verify the reliability of that source and whether that does actually work... >.< I hope it does work for ya! ^o^

Don't forget to let me know! lol

 

The link for that software in your link doesnt work. :-(

Having the same error 3198 problem

 

hey west are you starting the because I think thats the server that itunes thinks is the actual server so your just redirecting the info server

after i start the TSS server in umbrella I get the 1015 error so i am going to look more into this

Is that what i have to do link? start the TSS server?

 

If your getting the 1015 error then the video in this link may help you!
