Thanks for the response! i was looking through iclarrified and it says its possible to use Redsn0w since it doesnt update the firmware, but the dev-team blog says use Pwnaga? im a bit confused and the reason i want to use Redsn0w is so i dont mess up

Hi there guys!
First of all i would like to thank the Dev-team and all associated helpers in keeping us all ihappy! Im truly grateful for the hard work! Once again im looking at updating and jail breaking my iphone 4; version 4.3.1 with the 0.1.59.00 firmware. Although before i begin the process i had a couple of questions, namely...can i use Redsn0w to jailbreak and unlock my phone, with the intentions of using Ultrasn0w? or do i have to use Pwaga? Redsn0w is more user freindly, thus the question. Many thanks.

but is there a way to get out of recovery mode?

an apple sign eventually comes, but it bring me back to recovery mode again

I know that...because i used tinyumbrella my phone is in recovery mode - itunes sign/USB. When i connect it to itunes, they say my sim is not supported.

Tried to fix this by using pwnage to restore and activate, but itunes says im not elgible during restoration

But when im out of DFU mode, my phone is in recovery mode

Basically, i use pwnage to activate and build a custom FW, however during DFU mode in itunes, all of a sudden i get again the same message that im not eligible. During the contact with apple it simple stops. Same problem as before.

is there another way to activate?

Cant do it with pwnage, itunes wont let me restore, and my phone is still in recovery mode?

when i slide the unlock of course
