Updated to 6.0.1 then pointed redsn0w to the 6.0 ipsw before the jailbreak.

It's currently on 5.0.1 and I don't have the SHSH for 6.0, only 6.0.1.

They didn't need to restore. Just passing it along.

You can immediately use a different carrier sim. The restore in iTunes is just for confirmation. But yes, you can use redsn0w to restore to 5.1.1 and you will get the "Congratulations your iPhone is unlocked" message after you connect the phone to iTunes.

I was just wondering if I had the old bootrom and if it was possible. I thought the old bootrom would say iBoot-359.2. But mine says iBoot-1219.62.15. In fact, I realized this morning that I didn't save the SHSH in time for iOS6. Or anything after 5.0.1! So this is a moot point unless redsn0w is updated for 6.0.1.

But I could swear I did in the past for a previous untethered jailbreak. There is no way it could have been updated? Fri, 2 Nov 2012 06:00:03 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment478418387 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment478402209 I'm having trouble understanding if my 3 iPhone 3GS's have the old bootrom. The serial numbers are: 86925xxxxxx 87935xxxxxx 87936xxxxxx That is less than week 40, so that might imply old bootrom. But the model numbers all begin with MC and redsn0w says the FirmwareVersion is iBoot-1219.62.15. That seems to imply new bootrom. I could swear I did an untethered jailbreak in the past that required the old bootrom, but now I'm confused.

Sorry for the dumb question and thanks! Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:33:51 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment476675624 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment476675410 I should clarify that I used redsn0w and my saved blobs from Cydia to put a clean copy of 5.1.1 on the phone. Then used redsn0w again to jailbreak. Those 2 options are what I see when plugging the phone into my iTunes (and I assume what the buyer will see). Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:33:26 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment476675410 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/33546509336#IDComment476637223 I'm going to sell my iPhone 4S and advertise it as unlocked (which it is) and jailbroken on 5.1.1 (which it is). But when the buyer connects the phone to iTunes they'll have the 2 choices of "setup as new" and "restore from backup". The second one will blow away the jailbreak right?

Don't forget to donate, if you feel like it! It would be cool if we could raise enough so no one would be tempted to defect to Apple :/ Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:39:17 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16366982367#IDComment276612323 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16162905938#IDComment271711753 The issue that I (and the original poster) had was that Absinthe hangs right after it does the backup, at "Beginning jailbreak". Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:45:51 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16162905938#IDComment271711753 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16162905938#IDComment271688219 I was having the same problem. Tried several times. What worked for me was following the advice by Jon_McGu1re. Using Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Contents and Settings and setting it up as a new phone. Then Absinthe got past that step immediately and it was done in about a minute. Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:10:24 +0000 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16162905938#IDComment271688219 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/16162905938#IDComment271671205 Sorry for the one-man thread. Just wanted to say that it finally WORKED! I followed the advice that Jon_McGu1re gave in the first part of his post about "Erase All Content and Settings". After doing that I used Absinthe (not the CLI) and it went through like butter. Before that I tried "Reset All Settings" but apparently that wasn't enough- I still got the problem with the hanging "Beginning jailbreak". MASSIVE RESPECT to the Dream Team! Off to make you a well-deserved donation...

Then tried with cinject.exe and after cinject.exe -j payloads: recv: Bad file descriptor FATAL(__LINE__): Assertion failed (1266): got == sizeof(size) 1266 I'll read through the latest posts tomorrow. Btw this is with the 4S and 5.0.1 (9A405). Thanks!

Right after starting, it appeared to do a 1GB backup and ever since then the process has been idle. Maybe it's because I didn't run as Administrator? Can I safely cancel by closing the Absinthe window (and will that delete the backup it made?)

In case it is useful someday?

It seems like it wouldn't hurt to upgrade to 5.0.1, keeping the baseband intact with PwnageTool. But would I check the box "Activate phone" or not? I assume yes, since I already have my iPhone 4S activated on AT&T. I haven't decided whether to sell it or keep it as a backup when traveling, and I'm not clear whether checking that box would be optimal for each situation.
