Updated Jailbroken Phone To Version 3.1.3 By Accident......HELP !!!!!!!

Luckycharms_74

Hi Guys

I did the latest software update on the iPhone by accident . I have surfed the net in despair on trying to get a fix, regarding downgrading to 3.1.2 software, but no luck. It seems Apple have stopped signing the older Firmware . I think I'm screwed until the hacking community come out with release for 3.1.3 or else wait until OS 4.0 is released......

did you store your shsh file on sauriks server when you were offered first time you started cydia ? only then can you downgrade,
if not your stuck for a while, maybe forever !! :eek::D:D
did you have a look here

If you had previously jb there is a good chance that Cydia (saurik) has your ECID shsh on file .
Can you remember hitting "make my life easier" in Cydia or seen something like " This device has SHSH on file"at the top of the Cydia window??

This will allow you to point your iTunes (fool it) to Saurik server which will hold a backup 3.1x .isp for your phone .

Here is his instructions on how to change iTunes to look at Sauriks server 'v' the iTunes server .

Bypassing the Overlord

To this end, I have constructed a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple's signature server, except using "on file" results rather than live requests.
All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple's signature server to Cydia.
So, open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia's "on file" feature.
This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.


Hope this Helps.

Heres a better guide i found ....It may help .take note of the paragraph in bold !



Restore iPhone 3GS to 3.1.2 Using SHSHs on File with Cydia | Windows


This Windows guide will teach you how to restore your iPhone 3GS to 3.1.2 instead of 3.1.3 using the SHSH details stored on Cydia for your 3GS.

This method also works to restore iPhone 3GS devices to 3.1.2 instead of 3.1.3 for many that have encountered an error with sn0wbreeze (as long as you haven't panic'd and done a normal 3.1.3 restore via iTunes already).

If you have already restored on stock Apple firmware 3.1.3 via iTunes this guide may leave your phone unable to connect to the network (the 3.1.3 baseband and 3.1.2 firmware may not work well together).

The first requirement is that Cydia has your SHSH details stored for 3.1.2. If you have opened Cydia and seen green text at the top "This device has SHSHs on file for iPhone OS: 3.1.2" then you can restore to 3.1.2.





You need to edit your host file to connect to Saurik's server instead of Apples to sign the 3.1.2 firmware when you restore.

Download iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 firmware

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users make sure the program Notepad has Administrator privileges (find Notepad, right click, select Run as Administrator).

On your Windows PC Browse C->WINDOWS->system32->drivers->etc
(if you installed Windows on a different drive letter browse to that on instead of "C")
Right click on hosts and select Open.



Choose Notepad and click OK.



Add "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" at the end of the file. Save it.



Before continuing enter restore mode. One way to do this is disconnect your phone from the computer and turn your phone off. Start iTunes. Hold the home button on your phone and plug it in. Continue holding the home button until iTunes indicates you are in restore mode.



Now you'll be at a screen similar to the one below. Hold the Shift key while you click Restore.



Browse to the 3.1.2 firmware file you downloaded earlier. Select it and click Open.




Click Restore.



iTunes will does its thing.







Once done your phone will reboot and you'll be back on 3.1.2.

This is very good, shoud be sticky.

Hi MixedNuts

I have tried to load Cydia on safari but it does not say at the top that my SHSH details are stored on Cydia servers. Are they autostored when you jailbreak first or do you have to manually store your details.

Mate ,
I have loaded Cydia directly from my Safari browser and it does not show that my ECID shsh is stored either , when i load Cydia directly from my springboard it does show that its on file .
So you cant load Cydia directly from your springboard cause your not jailbroken ? , the question is now if you have your ECID on sauriks Server or not ?
Try and jog your memory ....Can u remember hitting "make my life easier" when you first loaded Cydia ? ..I cant remember hitting this but i must have cause my files are stored, good chance yours are to.

Look if i was you I would give it a go ( thats my opinion dont hold it against me if it dont work ) ..If it dont work just do a restore .
If your using a 3GS is almost impossible to brick !

Nothing to loose ...

hey, no major reason, few niggly things were annoying me, JavaScript kept disabling itself, and my forum logins weren't being remembered, even tho i was ticking remember me and had cookies enabled,
then the last few days my eirtext pro was failing to connect to 02, so somewhere along the line, and me tinkering in the terminal the phone wasnt running 100%. so i decided to give it a clean up, and delete some of the crap, i use an awful lot of customized apps and tweaks as opposed to pirated apps, so i guess they played with the internal workings of the os somehow
but ya all i did was dl the stock 3.1.2 and added

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

to the end of the host file,
shift and restore,
got a little fright when it said "contacting apple" lol, but sure it was talking to sauriks server !
sweet, all good again !

Jax Teller

Want to try this but am too worried won't work

Stuxnet

sure the point of post was to verify it works,
not too much we can do for you if your too chicken !!

Hey MixedNuts

The method above was the one I used.

Leiva

I'm not concerned over the 1015 error , it could be just communicating with Sauriks server ... What stage of the process are you getting the error ?
What happens when you hit ok ?

Leiva

Here i have done this guide , it is a variation on my previous post with some Golden rules and additions

It should help

Luckycharms_74

Thanks mixed.
I will try that later and see what happens

Good that's the official carrier , follow the new guide I sent you.
The only concern I have is if your SHSH hash files are with CYDIA server , we still ain't established that.
It's no harm to follow the guide , you won't do any damage.

Yeah just hope the details are on CYDIA'S servers

Hi Mixednuts that worked . But it shows the baseband is 05.12.01 will that work OK.
Also in Itunes do I need to set it up as a new Iphone because if I click restore from my last backup I presume it will install 3.1.3 to the phone, or will the host file trick itunes ???

Nice One...delighted !..Please block your IMEI :eek:

I see you have full bars on the 02 Network so the baseband IS WORKING !

Who said a "MC" model couldnt be rolled back and jailbroken

I would set it up as a new phone but read your PM's first

Stuxnet

you can select new phone, your contacts etc should still be safe in itunes and will sync, just dont hit that update button !!

Make sure the file ends with .ipsw
if it says zip at the end just delete the zip part an put .ipsw

If you have your ECID shsh on Cydia server use this guide I done up:

Iphone 3g 16g
Serial is 5K925
Want to use it with a meteor sim card.

I bought the phone that was locked to 02 in the uk, but 02 sim cards don't work in it here, i thiought they would be able to work?
If I go into an 02 shop and ask them would they be able to use the imei number to get the unlock code from their uk counterparts would they do that?

EuskalHerria

Also is it normal that I cant use the phone at all? Without a sim it remains locked and I cant access any of the phones applications at all. I thought if it was locked that I would just be unable to use it as a phone and it would be like an itouch not completely shut down like it is.

Hi there, i got this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMU9GlIXgRs ) to work fine for my 2g iPhone, however after getting it all up and running and testing everything, i restarted my phone and now only some of the apps work, the standard iphone apps dont work such as phone/messaging/email/settings .. they have all disappeared..?

brianeen

is there anyway to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1.2 on a 3G that is jb and unlocked using redsnow. its gotten to a stage now where i cant download some apps cause they require the new fw, i need the unlock though
thanks in advance for your help

Your phone is a 3g so the above instructions are useless to you , and looks like a reconditioned iPhone by the 5 digits you supplied from serial no.
If you have the old bootloader ( which I think you might) then it's pretty straightforward.

Just use redsn0w to jailbreak:

And Fuzzyband to roll back your baseband:

Cheers for the replies and the help. Will try this before i run for the bus. I got onto 02 uk, they said if i supply them with the make model and imei number that they will unlock it in 7 days. I sent them the info so just hope that I will be able to unlock it properly and not have to go the route of using blacksnow and the like everytime i need an unlock or if a problem with baseband upgrade occurs.

Will still go ahead with this though and try it, let you know how i got on aswell. Just out of curiosity, what details can you take from the serial above?

Forget about my comment about your phone been reconditioned , I read your reply wrong.
Your phone was made week 25 2009 ... 3rd 4th and 5th digits of serial.

Well I tried that again, it keeps coming up that the file is not compatable in itunes. I cant access any apps on my iphone either to get cydia and install the baseband reloader either. guess i'll jsut have to wait til 02 get back to me. Cheers

I can't see the make my life easier option in Cydia, anyone have any ideas? I'm on 3.1.2, maybe I can't see that it's has shsh's unless I upgrade?

If your just jailbreaking to unlock then YES a O2 unlock is better , but I still cant get my head around why your getting "not compatable" when loading the .ipsw file?

Are you using WIN or MAC ? ..also exactly what stage are you getting the error ?
