Does this work. It has never worked for me at all. Keep getting all kinds of error. Stuck at 5.1.1 as I dont want to lose my baseband.

did it on my 3gs and unlocked with ultrasn0w on ios 6.1,you gotta download a 6.0 ipsw and a 6.1 then open redsn0w select ipsw set the 6.0 and go to restore and then select the 6.1 ipsw that you'll get no errors

@palacs did you have ur shsh blobs & APTicket on cydia?

i do have all my shsh saved,why?

(05 Feb, 13:50) palacs

I have it locally. Somehow I am unable the 6.1 blob on Cydia. SO when I go to Restore it asks me to put phone in Pwned DFU mode. and when i do that and try to restore, the device reboots and never recovers in the loading iBSS stage. and so the restore fails :( have spent now 3 hours tryng to do this

BTW i have saved my SHSH blob from TU and trying to upload to cydia using redsn0w but Cydia rejects the SHSH

palacs doing that will lead to redsnow error of missing keys.plist

@theopt you need to load the "6.0" ipsw in to redsn0w.

@markhack did that. After the restore what do you do, jailbreak or recovery fix? Jailbreak pops up: The connected device doesnt support unethered options.

Edit: Boot thered isnt removing activation screen : so Im stuck there again.

Got back to snowbreeze version, they said there is a way to counter the itunes bug. Because this one isnt working for me, I get in but activation screen is still there.

1	You can try Sn0wbreeze and make a custom fw, but people say the latest version is buggy link answered 05 Feb, 13:59 ml05019 428●2●1●8 yes,it makes the itunes doesn't recognize the device anymore after the restore through the custom ipsw made by sn0wbreeze (05 Feb, 14:10) palacs

Answer 3

I would suggest you just wait for a Sn0wbreeze update, because with such a bug, the fix should be out soon. Then put your iPhone into PWNed DFU and restore in iTunes. Don't use TU! shsh for 6.1 are coming nicely from Apple servers.

Dont have a Win PC, so Sn0wbreeze is out for me :( trying iSHSHit for saving the SHSH on cydia.

Answer 4

i just did this try it: 1)restore with redsnow/extras/even more/restore with ios 6.1 and this will preserve your baseband now the bad thing of doing this is that it will get stuck on itunes logo and you WONT be able to get out of this with redsnow/extras/recovery fix, trust me i tried and tried and it wont cuz it needs to be deactivated so do this 2) use redsnow/extras/select ipsw and trick redsnow using ios 6.0 go back and select jailbreak it would do his thing but when it gives you the options deselect cydia and just hit "deactivate" it will go throught the jailbreak process when its finish it will boot up normally. 3) put an authorized sim so u can go to home screen 4) use evasi0n to do the untheter, now evasi0n will let you know that your phone has been jailbroken already but dont worry cuz you didnt select cydia with redsnow, so follow evasi0n instruction 5) and buala fully jailbroken iphone now go to cydia install ultrasnow 1.2.8
