manual restore

[kalel1978]

can anyone tell me how to manualy restore the iphone?

[invu]

first download the software you are restore (assuming that you are on for example 1.1.2 you want to restore to 1.1.2),
then put the phone into DFU mode by
Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.
Step 2. Hold Power and Home button, the iPhone should now be boot.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but HOLD the home button.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you in restore mode.

and itunes will tell you to restore. hold shift and restore (for windows) or option/ALT key (for mac) and select your firmware you just downloaded

is there anything else that we can do it just keeps running code after a darwin kernal v 9 and then some other stuff it goes by so quick i can tell.

thanks dude now all i need to do is set it back up is any sim on this site i use centenial and need to set it up again

so you're on 1.1.3? and you successfully restored it? what was the firmware originally when you bought it? do you know what bootloader you are currently running?
I would suggest to use Ziphone to activation, jailbreak, and unlock, but if you're on 4.6 bootloader, you'll have to downgrade the bootloader.

okay how can i tell what firmware i have, what the heck is a bootloader and how do i find out what its version is, any help would be much appreciated yo thanks for all the other help also

i assumed you're on 1.1.3 firmware since that's what on your profile. but to check you can go to settings on the iphone>general>about
and scroll down, and your firmware is next to "version"

but anywhoo, what is the state of your phone right now?

[kalel1978]

its back to the original settings but its telling me i need to insert a valid or unlocked sim, not sure what i an unlocked sim is i have a sim for my other phone but thats it, also i was lookin around on the net and found a site that says that if the 4th and 5th serial number are under 39 then i more then likely have a 1.0.2 phone and i have 04 in those spots, anything else u can help me with would be awesome id like to make it so i can mod stuff on it also but my friend that does that is not back until friday, think you can help me out

[invu]

okay, since i dont want you to mess up your bootloader do this.
download 1.1.4 firmware from HERE
then restore it like i told you before to 1.1.4

then download iPlus HERE (for windows) or HERE (for Mac)
