Help with jailbreaking and Cydia for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.

I did the hard reset and as quickly as possible, but it still redirects me to the recovery mode screen on the iphone(usb cable and itunes logo). As you said, the itunes displays a message that my iphone entered recovery mode, i tried to restore it but a message appears saying error (21). What should i do?

Slight error in my instructions for dfu mode from recovery mode. If you can't get it to turn off then do this. Hard reset by pressing and holding the home and power button until restart. As it restarts Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode

It's a little tricky but if you keep trying you will get it.

okay this worked now. It is in DFU mode. what should i do next? Should i use the tinyumbrella and press the Exit Recovery button? And in the advance settings of tinyumbrella, should i uncheck the button: Request SHSH from cydia?

You can try tiny umbrella to get out of the recovery if that works great. If not then you need to renter dfu more then open iTunes and click recover.

Or you can try to grab the shsh blobs and continue your downgrade but I'm not sure what state your in atm.

I pressed the restore button on itunes and now it's verifying iphone restore with apple, but it's taking a lot of time

Oh they displayed a message on itunes saying error 1602

And now it's stuck in DFU mode

You need to clean the host file. Because you we're downgrading it is looking at a custom server Sauriks server likely.

How do i clean the host file?

Windows:

Close iTunes Start –> Programs –> Accessories Run Notepad or WordPad (as administrator on windows 7) Click “Open..” from File menu. Browse to Windows/System32/drivers/etc In "files of type:" select all documents Open "hosts" Either delete all line that has "gs.apple.com", or add a "#" sign at the beginning of the line to comment it out Hit Save Reboot computer for changes to take effect. Visit http://gs.apple.com/ to verify that the hosts file is pointing to Apple and not Cydia. Restore your device.

Btw. following these steps will restore your device to the latest version. Not downgrading.

Okay it worked and my iphone is restored. Now, i will use sn0wbreeze to hacktivate my iphone since it isn't factory unlocked. After that, what should i do again to downgrade my baseband? Do I follow these steps again: use redsn0w 0.9.15b3 if you have a " 3GS "

enter DFU Mode.

load redsn0w " specify the 6.0 ipsw " if on 6.0.1 or 6.1.

hit jailbreak

" only " select " downgrade baseband " and DE-select " cydia "

hit next.

Sometimes the downgrade and take two or three times to work. after you downgrade check the modem firmware. you should have 05.13.. if not try again.

Honestly I don't own I iPhone. Only have a iPad 1 & 3 so I wouldn't know the next steps you should take as I've never needed to downgrade the baseband.

A new problem has arose, when i want to restore my iphone to the custom ios that i made using sn0breeze, 1600 and 1601 errors appear though i used pwned dfu and deactivated my antivirus. What should i do?

How do I fix iTunes error 160x when using custom firmware?: http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/32462/frequently-asked-questions/33272

Can also try: open cmd in administrator and type in the console: ipconfig/ flushdns

Then reboot.

It is still stuck, i used tinyumbrella

When it happened to me I simply rebooted my pc and then i did a clean restore with stock ios. Then i restored againg from pwnd DFU mode using snowbreeze and now it is jailbroken and working like a charm
