Preventing baseband update as a last-ditch effort [iPhone Dev Team]


i have maked a modified ipsw you can look at it and give a comment but it must be work.



NO POSTING OF LINKS TO CUSTOM FIRMWARE!

Yes. I tested it and it works flawlessly.
Spirit + Blacksn0w up and running with OS 3.1.3 and baseband 5.11.7.

I did not look at your ipsw. Only thing i did differently from the guide is that i did not extract the whole ipsw, I renamed it to zip and just deleted the LLB file and edited BuildManifest and manifest files, saved and updated them in the zip file. Then renamed it to ipsw again and restored.

[lairtonlelis]

I used both. Windows to restore and mac to use iRecovery.
The error you want is 6.
I also put the iPhone in DFU mode.

i did..
but error 13 and white screen
i think windows 7 is the problem ...

[shadow25]

I didn't have that problem..

I only got the error 6, and used rslite to get it to boot out of recovery..

I was using Mac OSX

[R3plic4tor]

i found my issue i used wordpad and this cause the problem xD

-> "used notepad to edit the files. When I used wordpad to edit it and restore it in itunes, phone goes to white blank screen and gives me error13"

That is the thing, no posting of links to changed firmware of any kind. That makes Apple beyond angry and able to sue.

[lairtonlelis]

I used notepad++ for windows. When i used wordpad the error i got is "Firmware is currupt".
When you install Blacksn0w, use RC2 from the repo cydia.pushfix.info.
Repeating: I used Windows 7 x64 and iTunes 9.0.1 x64 to restore and then my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to use iRecovery.
I did this twice. It really works.
If it doesn't for you, you're doing it wrong.

where can i get a 3.1.3. from?

how can i turn it back to a ipsw file?

what program should i use to edit it?

thanx coz im screwed

[lairtonlelis]

Download 3.1.3 for iPhone 3gs: ModMyi Forums - Downloads - iPhone 3GS 3.1.3
Rename it to zip, edit the files with notepad (not wordpad) or notepad++.

[peterparker5081]

ok i'll try it thanx

i have D/L it but its already a zip. once i have edited it with notepad how do i turn it into that ipod cube file that itunes will see when i do a custom restore?

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bcoz notepad opens it sideway i cannot find the llb to delete

such a noob

[lairtonlelis]

When you download it it's a .ipsw file. Rename it to zip.
If it's a zip file, open it winrar or whatever and if there is a file named BuildManifest.plist inside it, just rename the .zip to .ipsw and you're fine.

[peterparker5081]

i haved done all the editing but the file remains a winrar file i added .ipsw to the end now its called iPhone2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw

itunes just dont see it??/

im half way home i think just need to be able to chance it to the cube itunes file ???????????

[lairtonlelis]

Enable file extensions for known file types and rename it again.
