trying to restore iphone 4

[Kyleig]

Ok I bought this phone off a guy, looks like brand new, its running 4.3.3 firmware 4.10.01 already jailbroken...BUT hes got so much crap on it
I dont want any of it and its stuck in safe mode, so I'd like to just restore it back to 4.3.3 and rejailbreak it. Well this isnt workin so good, I downloaded a restore from iclarified for 433 but anytime I try to restore with itunes i get a 3194 error, update itunes... I already have the
latest version. What the hizzle is goin on? I've done a lil of this before but never had this problem. Anybody have an idea?

Thanks for any help!

I dunno if I even put this in the right place...if not anybody know where I need to go?

Check out my guide: Downgrading to iOS 4.3.3.

I dont have any SHSH blobs to do this...I already do have tiny umbrella, and I have followed a similar deal with no results. Also I cant seem to get it into DFU mode, it always goes to recovery.

[Anthony Bouchard]

If it's already jailbroken, chances are Cydia has your SHSH blobs. You just need to save them to you hard drive with Tinyumbrella to have a backup.

The thing is I just got this phone, I dont want to save all the crap the other guy had. I have downloaded a 433 ipsw from iclarified. Can that be used?

You don't have to save anything on the iPhone at all.

Also, absolutely! As long as it's a fresh 4.3.3 release that hasn't been customized, you can use it.

Well I got it into dfu and itunes started the restore but before it could get anything done it tells me this iphone could not be restored. Any thoughts?

error 1600

[Anthony Bouchard]

Does it provide you with an error number?

[Kyleig]

1600 if you didnt catch that above....i cant find it on apples list

[Anthony Bouchard]

My guide will fix a 1600 error if performed correctly. I have confidence in you, give it a try!

[Kyleig]

I actually did try tho...itunes wont even let it start restoring the phone.

[Anthony Bouchard]

I would suggest taking a look at your hosts file.

[Kyleig]

I have no idea what that is...i've done a lil of this, but I'm very much so a novice.

[Anthony Bouchard]

Click Start – search for “Notepad“, right-click and select “Run as Administrator“. This should launch notepad with elevated privileges. Now, open the host file from the File menu, (CWindows\System32\drivers\etc) edit by removing all customizations and save.

A much easier way to edit your hosts is to use tiny umbrella. It can edit your hosts to point to cydia or Apple based on the option in advanced that says "set hosts to cydia on exit".

[Kyleig]

I have tiny umbrella and do have it set that way and when I click save shsh blobs nothing happens. Btw I don't know if i mentioned it's stuck in safe mode...

[Kyleig]

I got itunes to attempt to put on 433 but after its done it says it cant restore iphone and gives me a 1013 error. Now its stuck in recovery mode.

[Kyleig]

I'm trying to follow your directions for your guide but i'm using a pc with vista on it...I got up to the fix recovery 43, where your saying to run it in terminal, there isnt anything like that on here. What can be used on a pc to do this?
