hi...i've jailbroken a few different iphone 3g's without much problem but i just barely upgraded those phones to 3gs's. i have 2 of them and i was able to jailbreak the first one without any problem whatsoever. the second one however has been rather impossible for me. i keep getting the eternal "preparing iphone for restore" in itunes and then i get a "1604 error". does anyone know what's going on? thanks in advance.s
-
well...instead of waiting for pwnagetool to work i gave blackra1n a shot and this worked right off the bat. i would have liked to maybe add the pineapple logo but this was by far the easiest jailbreaking method i've ever used. if you're having problems with pwnagetool you might want to give blackra1n a shot!
-
you need to have your iphone jailbroken before you can restore with a custom firmware.
for example, if you're upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1.2, you have to create a custom firmware for 3.1.2
but first you have to jailbreak your 3.0 iphone. -
hrmm..ok since you used blackra1n to jailbreak, now try restoring with the custom firmware you built to see if it will work.
-
I'm on 3.0.1 jailbroken but i wanna have the 3.1.2 firmware unlocked can i use windows??
-
FOR ALL THOSES PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT HOW TO JAILBREAK AND UNLOCK, I SAY TO YOU "HOW LONG HAS THE IPHONE BEEN OUT, IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT IT BY NOW PLEASE SHOOT YOURSELF CAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET" I CAN'T BELEIVE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS THING BY NOW. COOOMMMMMEEEE OOONNNN PEEEOOOPPLLLEE.
-
that is i assume because majority using windows and you need to have an apple to do this lately
-
why would you do all of this when you can let the Rain program do it all for you, which takes about 30 seconds?
-
The baseband bundled with iPhone OS 3.1.2 cannot be unlocked. So if users want to preserve their baseband, the only tool available currently is PwnageTool. Blackra1n doesn't preserve the baseband.
-
This is so unclear, I'm a windows user, Can I use this tool to JB? I don't want to unlock, just JB!
-
so i jailbroke my gf iphone and know ithe at&t network thing doesnt appear any one else ahve that problem
-
If you don't plan to unlock your iPhone and only want to jailbreak it, then use Blackra1n (PC or Mac)
-
Any word on a Windows version that will preserve the baseband? Also, do any of these updates affect the tethering hack?
-
I'm trying to do this my 3Gs and when I follow the instructions but replacing it with the 3Gs ipsw it goes through the process but when it restarts it says its in Recovery Mode and the screen is black. Any suggestions.
-
As Stated above: This guide is applicable only for iPhone 3G users.

I got this version installed on my iphone "iPhone2,1_3.1_7C144_Custom_Restore"
and trying to upgrade with this version "iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Custom_Restore"
but getting this massage
The iphone "iphone" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.
Please any advice will be appreciated. -
I have a working jailbroken 2G iPhone, can I use this package to upgrade to latest OS? Thanks
-
Ummm I downloaded the jailbreak on my phone using the instructions above however my phone, texts, email or anything that requires a signal doesn't work anymore!! Can someone please tell me what to do. My phone number won't show up in the settings either!!!! MAybe this wasn't worth it
-
yeah, I jailbroke and unlocked however no signal, not happy, i'm restoring my phone to it's factory condition, oh well, worth a shot
-
I've jailbroke my iPhone 3g 16gb with this pwnage tool and I can't anymore install craked apps through itunes with **** of 3.1. Does anybody know why???
-
hmm.. I tried this procedure with my iPhone 3G, iTunes 9.01 and it restored me back to original factory settings, then iTunes brought me back to the last backup/Sync I did, I never got prompted for the custom.ipsw file. I never saw the "older iPhone firmware files". Did I miss something?
-
when will the guide for 3Gs arrive.. i just got a new 3gs and want it unlocked.
-
I just jailbroke from 3.0 to 3.1.2, everything worked smoothly however my filmware is 05.11.07? Does that mean I cant use it on T-Mobile or am I good to go?
-
This guide will work perfectly for you if you follow them to the letter, be patient and if you new to it think about what you do on every step.
If your on a PC always get a custom restore file from a trusted source or friend with a Mac, for those of you who have updated your baseband, it means you didn't choose the custom firmware file or you obtained it from an untrusted source, PwnageTool will not allow the baseband update when creating it, this is done by "Option or alt" restore on a Mac and "Shift" restore on a PC.
If you have done this correctly you will always be asked for a firmware file.
If your iPhone has never been Jailbroken then you must place it in DFU mode, which can be done without PwnageTool but you will have to count yourself.Anybody can rename an official firmware file to look like a custom firmware, just be careful if you really want to keep your unlock.

this tool is awesome... very quick!

I got the same problem

You still have to unlock the phone with ultrasnow. Follow those instructions also and it will restore you network settings. I had to do this although my carrier is AT-T
