Advertisements Apple released OS 3.1.3 very unexpectedly, OS 3.1.3 for iPhone 3GS is incompatible to jailbreak with redsn0w/pwnage tool/sn0wbreeze. So as of today, Apple has stopped signing 3.1.2 restore files. That means that if you have a 3GS iPhone you cannot restore any firmware other than 3.13.
If you guys updated to 3.1.3 and wanna get back to OS 3.1.2 or below here is the step by step guide to downgrade your iPhone 3GS OS 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 or below. This hack is useful only for those peoples who saved their SHSH to Cydia Server before the release of OS 3.1.3 via Cydia “ make my life easier” button.
The process is very simple all you have to do is to add Saurik’s Server address to your system hosts file. This trick make iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead while the restoring process. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia “on file” feature. In simple words this duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple’s signature server, except using “on file” results rather than live request. Note:. This process is only for those who saved their SHSH to Cydia Server already. Don’t use this procedure for 3.0.1, because Saurik Server do not have signatures for 3.0.1.
Read the process and Saurik post two-three times before starting the process. iPhone unlockers note that by doing this you can downgrade your firmware only, your baseband is still at 05.12.01 which is un-hacked at the moment. How to Edit and Save Hosts file in Windows. Open Notepad with Administrative privileges by clicking Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then right-click Notepad and select to open as Administrator. Now that Notepad is open with Administrative privileges browse to ( C:WindowsSystem32driversetc) in Notepad and open the hosts file, and add the following entry to the bottom of the file. 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com. Hi, my 3gs iPhone specifications are 3.1.2.
(7D11), model MC135LL and FirmWare 05.11.07, (jailbroken with blackra1n) and had a loop recovery problem after doing a reset network settings as iPhone became “unstable” (short loss of wifi). So I kept it blocked over a week, and then followed kaubut0145 tuto how to downgrade 3.1.3. (but I wasn’t in 3.1.3.
Yet): strangely it worked, restarted and I noticed I had saved my ECID on Saurik’s files, (which I didn’t remember having done so). Anyway, now I still have a problem, leaving in Thailand, True is the official carrier, I have a True simcard but didn’t buy the phone by their service, I have full signal, wi-fi etc. I can send textos (sms), I can receive calls, but I cannot pass any call!?!?!? Been trying for 3 days, but still cannot make a call, wonder what’s wrong. Beside this, after having successfully installed Cydia and install0us, I’m experiencing download issues in install0us, loose the connection for unknown reason, but the wi-fi signal is very good and the icon doesn’t disappear Any help would be very welcome Many thanks.
Your instructions for the windows version of events is wrong. The “#” character is the comment indicator. Anything following a “#” is therefore ignored. This is evident when you run a simple test after saving the host file: open Command Prompt, and type “ping gs.apple.com” If you do not get a reply from the 74.208.10.249 address, you have “commented out” the coveted line. Remove the “#” character from in front of the ip/hostname provided.
Pinging the same DNS name, gs.apple.com, gives you the proper ping response from 74.208.10.249. This is how iTunes gets “tricked” into thinking it’s communicating with Apple servers. Thank you post #21! If you have a new 3GS, this is the steps i would follow (google how to do each step): 1. Download 3.1.2 ipsw 2.
Put phone into dfu mode 3. Hold down shift button and hit restore and pick the 3.1.2 ipsw 4. Wait a while, and when you get error 1015 run the iRecovery!!
Make sure you have your network connection 6. Do a settings restore / sync 7. Now your phone is fully operational at 3.1.2 and you can run blackra1n to jailbreak i tried skipping step 4 and running staight redsnow, but it locked up 1/2 way then i tried skipping step 4 and running blackra1n, but i lost my cell network access. Lots of time wasted (.
Hi so i have an Iphone 3gs and i am from Canada. I was using the phone through bell and when i bought the phone i asked if i could use the phone in Thunder Bay b/c i go there often. They said yes!
So when i came to tbay from calgary. I was 2 hours outside Calgary when it stopped working.
Anyways long story short i got someone to soft unlock my phone since it was the only way to do it. And i had him install ROCK so that i could use a rogers sim it worked fine except the other day it was freezing and i decided to upgrade to 3.1.3 and it also upgraded my baseband to 5.12 sooo after researching right away I saw that I was an idiot for upgrading. I didn’t have anything saved from Cydia that i know of. Is there any chance of me getting service again?
And how would i do that? I have a Mac so if you explain it plz explain in mac terms step by step. Thank you to whoever figures this out. You are a life saver!!!!
I’ve tried everything is either downgrade to 3.1.2 with no signal o 3.1.3 unjailbreak wid signal. Tried many many ways. I’ve went through all google search for the best solutions. But no luck wat happen till the end is my iphone was stuck in emergency mode. I was nearly hopeless then i decided to just restore back to the original 3.1.3 wid 05.12.01 baseband. So i just on the itunes n restore and i was shock after the restore.
It has become 3.1.2!!!! And the most important is wid signal (authorise sim) And YES!!! JB wid blackrain n it works Thank you so much guys for the info. I tot i will not b able to JB again.
And i think is my lucky day today. I have 3gs with new Boot Rom. I too had my 3.1.2 freeze and not knowing updated. Luckily I had SHSH saved through Cydia.
I downloaded 3.1.2 and changed Host File as Stated above. I forced the restore on Itunes to 3.1.2. This next step was crucial.
When you first restore, the iphone will stay with the recovery screen, thats the picture of the usb cable on the screen. Do not jailbrake, leave Itunes open, hit cancel on the itunes prompts to recover, immediately run quickpwn 22 and follow the instructions. This will get you out of recovery and your phone will activate with itunes. Now you will have carrier. Now Jailbreak with your desired form.
I have Jailbroken 3gs with 3.1.2 firmware and New Base band. I cant unlock but, its not an issue for me. But my phone is back to Jailbroken glory. It actuall works better that it did before.
It doesnt get stuck like it used to. I think the Unlock was not 100% before. If I have to turn off, I just run Blackra1n again. I just purchased a 32gb 3gs that came with os 3.1 on it. I was able to use blackra1n to jailbreak it.
I have some apps though that apparently require 3.1.2 to run (The iPhone replaced my iTouch that was jailbroken on 3.1.2 which is how I got the apps.) Cydia says my SHSHs are on file for 3.1.3. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 3.1.2?
I tried to do it with a 3.1.2 ipsw I had downloaded, but it says my device is not eligible for the requested build. I did not try using DFU mode, as I am hesitant because I don’t want to lose my JB even if it is only on 3.1, but I would really like to have 3.1.2 so my other apps will work. Thanks for any advice anyone has. Okay iExpert I’ll help you out but I’m no expert mate! First things First put your iPhone 3gs in DFU MODE!!
Then click shift + Restore when the downgrade finishes repeat the same procedure again, this time it should be in recovery mode. When that finished load up quickpwn 22.1 not 22.5 a messgae should put up which tells you to hold HOME/POWER for 15 seconds and then POWER for another 2 seconds. Use quickpwn not iRecovery to activate Quickpwn is very simple and quick! Now it should load up and activate with iTunes! Okay now you run Blackra1n and when it finishes and your iPhone boots up run it again.
The first time it doesn’t properly complete the jailbreak It took me forever to figure this out! Thus the reason my iPhone wouldn’t reboot after installing something from cydia or Rock! I hope this helped it sure helped me. P.S I had the same problem as you. Getting the 1604 error if you get that try a different USB port or if that doesnt work get another USB cable from somewhere! 3GS Downgrade 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 – my system is winxp sp2 – my itune is 9.0.2.xxx – i successfully done a few 3gs downgrade – i have shsh 3.1.2 – i know irecovery to auto-boot for radio signal. one thing i dunno is why i have a 3GS always giving me 1604 error after long time of “preparing to restore”.
The umbrella and tinytss working great, in fact i did a few already, but somehow got one device really hate me. The progress bar on iphone just dun want to proceed and give me 1604 error!!. i also tried multiple times of dfu. i also tried multiple times of recovery mode any expert can give me some advice? Just dun understand why? Hi any one that can help, im very new at this I have an iphone 3g on windows 7, it was jailbroken n still needs to be jailbrocken, so any way i saw a new update so i decided to Dl it.
( ive only just found out by reading many threads that this was stupid) Now i have tried to restore my phone to n earlier firmware, but i tunes keeps telling me it was unsuccessful. Can any one please help me Im unable to use my phone at all as apple wants the original sim, so all im left with is n iphone with the itunes symbol and a usb cord. For Guillermo I have an old bootrom 3Gs.
For anyone for can downgrade, but have no carrier and have issues with Irecovery Quickpwn22 is an easier solution. This is from gaetanospqr’s post on modmyi: “first download quickpwn22 and unzip to a folder or desktop. I’ll tell you when to use this, this will get you out of recovery and give you your officalcarrier. Two very important items I learned that led to me successfully downgrading and then jailbreaking: 1) make sure the amended text file does NOT have the extension.txt after you edit it with notepad in windows. You can ping gs.apple.com in the cmd prompt to be sure you’ve done it right. 2) after downgrading the firmware, download and use irecovery to take your phone out of the recovery loop and make sure the network is activated BEFORE you restore your backup and most importantly, BEFORE jailbreaking.
This way you can retain the network. Used blackrain to jailbreak my iPhone 3gs (old bootrom) after downgrading from 3.1.3. I have a 3gs on At&t that was jailbroken with blackra1n. Ignorantly, I upgraded to the stock 3.1.3 and the baseband 5.12.01 and lost my jailbreak. After repeated attempts I had some degree of success but probably made it more complicated than necessary.
However I do now have a jailbroken 3gs with network thanks to all of you. I entered cydia’s ip in the hosts file and put the phone into dfu mode and did the restore to 3.1.2 twice (downloaded the firmware with firefox). The phone wouldn’t come out of restore mode until I ran blackra1n. Now it booted but no network.
I cooked up a custom 3.1.3 firmware with pwnage 3.1.5, removed the cydia server from the host file and restored to the custom 3.1.3. Worked great, I had cydia and network so I thought I was good. But then I installed winterboard and had to reboot and it got stuck on the pineapple. Being 3.1.3 blackra1n wouldn’t see it either. So I cooked a custom 3.1.2 firmware now with pwage, put the cydia server back in the hosts file, put the phone into restore mode (not DFU – it didn’t seem to want to go in but I didn’t try to hard) with Steve Jobs speaking cyrillic. Restored to the custom 3.1.2 (one time), now I had network and cydia on 3.1.2. Then I removed the cydia server from the hosts file.
It looks like I have to be tethered to boot and maybe run blackra1n (maybe I could have just waited longer), but that’s better than nothing. In retrospect I could have maybe used a stock 3.1.2 for the second downgrade and just run blackra1n, or just found a reboot tool while on the custom 3.1.3 but the posts for those looked old and I didn’t know if they would apply. Maybe even just removing the cydia server from the hosts file after the first downgrade to 3.1.2 would have let iTunes activate it. But I think I’ll leave it where it is for now.
XJ your onto something option key like where the f is it ahhh arr some guys are so smart and well versed that they can’t relate to us newbies anymore. THANKYOU SO MUCH FRANKYBOY!! FRANKYBOY YOU ARE MY GOD.
“just to save some time to some readers on the screen shot windows host file on the last line you see # 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com you need to remove the “#” as otherwise it’s uncommented.” WORKED LIKE A CHARM. Before i got the ‘right build’ error so many times.
Followed your advice and it worked. If your iphone shows error 1015 and a ‘plug into itunes’ screen after installing firmware 3.1.2, it’s alright, just download blackra1n and jb it while your iphone has the ‘plug into itunes’ screen. It will boot fine.
I have the new 3gs with new bootrom. Hi, just got my new iphone today software is 3.1.2.
An i jailbreaked and unlocked it, after this i installed someting from cydia restarted an my iphone stayed athe the recovery mode so i decided to restore and now i realised after reading that there is no recoverypossibiltiy but i wasnt able to get the shsh out of my ecid because apple did not give me shsh because their servers only accept 3.1.3 sooo wtf what can i do now? Do i realize accectly that ive got a big problm now?!? 🙁 i wasnt able to get a shsh cause of apple did shut it down some days ago anyone out there who knows a possibility to restore without verification? Ive got a 3gs.
