    What about Mac users who are getting the 1600 error when using the PwnageTool 5.0.1? Any work around software out there for that?
    Thank you!

    The latest version of redsn0w (b4) contaion a pwned DFU option. is iTunes giving errors when this is used? I have had no problems with using iREB or redsn0w pwned DFU

  4. JOutlaw says:

    will this maintain a users BaseBand settings for people using Ultrasn0w and Gevey Sim?

  5. Baklava says:

    I did everything exactly as discribed and I still get the 1602 error. I get it in a DFU mode and Itunes recognises it then I start iREB, choose 3GS and it enters PWND DFU. Then I open Itunes, shit + click on restore and select my custom IPSW which was created by the latest redsnow. It stucks when “Verifying the restore with Apple” and after a 2-3 min i get the 1602 error. Pls help!

    • mkacoca says:

      1- change usb port or
      2- change usb cable or
      3- download another ipsw from another site or
      4- restart your computer

    • wrx7182 says:

      I don’t know why it says to put your phone in DFU, then to run iREB. Your iDevice does not have to be in DFU to run iREB.
      Shut your iDevice off, then run iREB. See how that works.

  6. Baklava says:

    I did it. I simply downloaded snowbreeze and cr8ed custom ipsw using it instead of redsnow and it worked. I unlocked it with ultrasnow and everything is fine. So if you have probs with redsnow try another programme for creating your custom ipsw. Cheers

    • mani says:

      yea i use redsnow to jailbreak my iphone4 factory unlock, but it got stuck on apple logo.
      so i restore with itunes.
      Is snowbreeze jailbreak is good to go?

    Hello,

    I’ve iPhone 4 Vodafone UK with 4.2.1 with 3.10.01 BB Unlocked with Gevey SIM.

    Which iOS version do i need CDMA or GSM?

    I want to upgrade to 5.0.1 ,I’ve tried to restore which redsnow custom firmware to preserve my old baseband but I’m getting error 1600 in itune, I’ve used iReb but i still getting error. Please Help me to Upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 with preservation of old BB.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    • wrx7182 says:

      You are going to want the GSM version

    • wrx7182 says:

      You want the GSM version
      To fix 1600 error try downloading tiny umbrella (google firmware umbrella)
      Once the program is downloaded navigate to settings.
      Once in settings you need to disable “set hosts to cydia on exit”
      Once disabled, close tiny umbrella, put iDevice in DFU via iREB, and restore via iTunes with custom .ipsw

      This has worked for someone else I know so I hope it works for you.

    Can i unlock my preserved baseband 3.10.01 after upgrade with old gevey sim?

    • wrx7182 says:

      you should be able to unlock. just make sure your shsh are saved so if for some reason you cannot unlock, you can go back to your previous F.W.

      • Chandrashekhar says:

        I’m facing battery drain problem, Very bad battery life since upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 can i downgrade again to 4.2.1?

  13. wrx7182 says:

    @Chandrashekhar
    Then only way to go back to a previous firmware is by having your shsh blobs saved. If you do not have them saved then you are out of luck

    • Chandrashekhar says:

      Yes I’ve Saved Blobs on Cydia. What is the process to restore to my old firmware 4.2.1? Please help

    • Chandrashekhar says:

      I’ve tried to do with 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com in host file but I’m getting 3194 error. please help me

  15. wrx7182 says:

    you need to download tiny umbrella (google firmware umbrella)
    Also you need to download iREB (iH8sn0w’s website)
    And you need to download the firmware you want to go back to. google it if you do not allready have the .ipsw downloaded.
    Once downloaded, close iTunes.
    use iREB to put your iDevice into a pwnd DFU mode
    open tiny umbrella and click “start TTS server”
    open iTunes. It will say your iDevice needs to be restored.
    You then want to hold shift and click restore (option + restore on mac) then iTunes will let you select the firmware you want to go back to.
    Once the firmware is selected iTunes will do the restore, and you will be back on 4.2.1
    May I suggest going to 4.3.3 and using jailbreakme to jailbreak. 4.3.3′s jailbreak is great. Really stable.
