check out the tutorial on iclarified's website. Top left hand corner - select Jailbreak option and follow the guides there. Then ask any questions here :)

I didn't realise it was a JB iPhone - Apologies.

If it ever happens again try to sync a video from iTunes to your Phone and see if that sorts it out

I'm glad it worked out tho

Hi, this is not the forum for this type of question, but its possible that the video is not in an iphone/apple compatible format?

See response from irepairca above and thank him for the info:-

The culprit for my problems was TinyUmbrella, I'm not sure if it's a feature (or setting toggle) that they added (or made default) in the latest version or not but it's very simple. Open up TinyUmbrella and go to the Advanced tab, when there uncheck the following option:

"Set hosts to Cydia on exit"

While TinyUmbrella is open it sets all hosts to ping the Cydia servers rather than the Apple ones (at least in my experience) which is why you shouldn't do a restore/update while TinyUmbrella is open. If the above setting is enabled then it keeps those settings even if TinyUmbrella is closed.

So, in a nutshell here are the steps I did to fix my issue.

1. Fired up TinyUmbrella and changed the above mentioned setting
2. Closed TinyUmbrella
3. Fired up iTunes and ran a normal restore (of course since it was an iPad BaseBand it failed and put me into recovery mode, I did this to get out of the DFU/Greenpois0n loop I was stuck in)
4. Fired up Pwnagetool 4.3.3 and created a fresh custom 4.3.3 IPSW (I got the IPSW file from iTunes)((I also got rid of the previous ones I had made as they were corrupted)).
5. Using Pwnagetool, put the device into pwned DFU mode.
6. Went back into iTunes and custom restored to the custom 4.3.3 IPSW Pwnagetool created.
7. I laughed hysterically as the restore completed successfully! :)

Hi there, iphone 3g fw 3.0 (need ultras0w). If apple stops signing fw's 3.0 and up, can I still jb? using what tool to update fw? tx

Hey Guys,

Please Help

A friend just passed me his iphone 3g, which is in a boot logo loop. It was jailbroken on firmware 3.0, baseband 04.28.00, unlocked with Ultrasn0w. Don't think SHSH Blobs were ever saved?

It needs to be restored to get out of the loop. Cannot hard reset or anything

As I understand it, please correct me if i'm wrong, if apple stops signing a firmware version then the phone cannot be restored to that version anymore?

Please advise what firmware versions I can still jailbreak and unlock to? Do I ignore the message that iTunes will verify the firmware version?

Thanks

Me too! There is nothing

Wow, thanks for all the info.

I may have SHSH blobs saved. I did click on make my life easier about 2 months ago, but thought it only applied to 3GS so wasn't concerned at the time.

There are tutorials on update to version 4.0 with Redsnow (not 4.1) and using ultrasn0w unlock. As I could download a Pwnage version from say iclarified's website and that should be okay? My baseband only gets updated when I use apple firmware and not the Pwnage firmware, am I correct?

Thanks for the help - you are brilliant

Hi Guys,

Quick Question. I have an Iphone 3G, BB 04.26.08 on firmware version 3.0, and need the unlock

Should I upgrade to firmware 4.0 using Redsnow and US or should I wait until there is an unlock for 4.1?

Thanks

I think you mean automatically "Sync" (by the way you can deactivate automatic sync in itunes under preferences - latest version)

It will not automatically update
