Apple won´t verify any restore

[Etruska]

Hi,
i have iPhone 3GS, 3.1.2 firmware, jailbroken with blackra1n. Unfortunately it has to be jailbraken every time i turn it off, so i decided to restore it to its original firmware. But apple won´t verify any restore (even original from iTunes), it says that device isnt eligible for requested bulid or it throws an error (3004 i think). I tried putting "74.208.105.172 gs.apple.com" to my host configuration file, with no help. Does anybody have a solution? Thank you for any help.

If you didn't have you 3.1.2 SHSH on file then you can only go to 3.1.3.

The problem is that i can't even upgrade to 3.1.3 via iTunes :-(

make sure your phone is in DFu mode prior to restoring

I just wanted to verify that I have this problem too... saw this thread looking for a solution but I guess it should be put out there. APPLE IS NOT VERIFIYING ANY RESTORE ON 3GS.

I can however get 4.0 betas still but no 3.1.3

Not sure about you all having trouble, but I restored to 3.1.3 on Sunday (5/16) with authorization from apple. Your problem may be something other than apple verification.

Yup me too, I just restored last night with no problem at all. Try deleting the firmware iTunes has store, and have iTunes download a fresh one.

Since Apple stopped verifying restores for jailbroken iDevices, you have to use SHSH Blobs to downgrade, then try restoring.
