View Full Version : Jailbroken Iphone 3GS not booting after Erase all content and settings
As the title, i've tried to Erase all content and settings on my jailbroken Iphone 3GS, but now it wont boot. Only is to restore through Itunes, but Itunes will only give me the option of restoring OS4.2, I want to restore OS4.1 so it can still be jailbroken.
Is there a way of restoring OS4.1 without using Itunes?
Thanks in advance.
It can be done with itunes.
You download an image of 4.1 from web and you can force the iphone to use the download as a recovery in itunes.
I will try find the site for you but last time I looked there were loads of them.
Actually it was 4.0.1 I was looking at at the time... Will check if same for 4.1.
There are also rumours around about JB for 4.2.1 due.
Just found this

and this site for firmware
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750
I'm assuming I can use this file?
4.1.0 (3GS): iPhone2,1_4.1_8B117_Restore.ipsw
You need to confirm operation of this.
I see a few comments about not working to install going from 4.2 to 4.1.
Will check
This Iphone has never been on OS4.2, highest its ever been is 4.1. So in effect I'm restoring what was on it. I hope .....

boss use tiny umbrella to get a .shsh and then let itunes updates to 4.2 then downgrade it to 4.1
thats how i did my sisters ipod touch 4.1
You are right....
Mixed it with the ipod.

I can't get nothing from it unless I restore an OS, its not booting.

dont worry tiny umbrella will pickit up and make a .shsh file as long as the phone comes on to the point it asked to plug into itunes
did you have cydia installed as if you did there is a 90% chance that its in the cydia repo already
look in the cydia repo with your serial number to see if your iphone has a .shsh stored

You go a link for the cydia repo?

i'm just trying to find it my brother knows it but the lazy git is still in bed
in the mean time try the tiny umbrella route all you do is double click tiny umbrella and conect your iphone
then once the phone comes up as connected does not need to be started just nneds to be connected then press create .shsh and thats it
I just read somewhere about restoring the .ipsw with Itunes 9.2. Going to give that a go.

I had this trouble before on other firmware versions. If you download the 4.1 firmware to your pc do a shift restore. The whole process should go through till almost the end but then you get an error message on itunes. As far as i know thats the bit where its trying to sign off and itunes will not let it. At this point you should be able to use tiny umbrella to kick it outta the mode its stuck in
Tiny umbrella wont save the SHSH.
Tried restoring in many ways Recovery mode and DFU mode, just get 3194 error. Edited hosts file still no joy.
Another update. I had Itunes 9.2 installed. Got pissed off and thought fook it just update the damn to get it working lol.
Any looks like Itunes 9.2 is restoring it to OS4.1. I'll report back when it finishes. Fingers crossed.
Error 3194 again.
Getting fed up with this lol!
Re-installing Itunes 10, OS4.2.1 it is, had enough messing around with this lol.

I suspect you have done all this but have a read anyway.As long as your 4.1 blobs are on cydia you should be able to use this method to go back to 4.1 from 4.2. Think you need to put 4.2 on before you can do anything. Might loose unlock though

The unlock was official through Orange and Itunes. Restoring now to 4.2.1. See if it completes.

Yeah mine was the same from T-Mobile so I was never worried about getting the newest bassbands but had a few mates who lost unlock after jailbreak. I have just kept mine on 4.1 as there seems to be a minefield of stuff out there at present and as you know they are bloody tempremental devices. I had the same problem as you in that I had to put 3.13 on before there was a JB for it just so as I could get back to 3.12
Iphone now restored and working with OS4.2.1. Still unlocked.
Can I download shsh blobs from anywhere?

Tiny umbrella should now be able to check cydia for your 4.1 blobs
Yeah just checked and it brought all mine in from cydia
Still cant get it to check cydia, tried with my iphone 4 too.

Tinyumbrella says stop TSS server before saving SHSH.
silverfox0786

to save a shsh you need to stop ts server
actually do that and see what it brings up if there id a 4.1 shsh then that will be downloaded to the tiny umbrella app
Panic over guys, turns out the buyer didn't want Jailbroken :)

not really, some people just dont particularly care about jail breaking their iphone. ive had both the 3G and 3GS and yes i have jailbroken both but on the last one i couldn't be bothered any more so i h=just left it as it was.
same goes for me HTC desire, i could very easily root it but i simply cant be bothered.
