[How-To] Using tiny umbrella to update/downgrade/restore

[Simon]

Instead of using tiny umbrella to downgrade you can try to just point your hosts to cydia. If you don't know how to do this manually you can use this 3Gs Downgrade Assistant | iPhone News, Help and Guides

This is my TinyUmbrella log:

I am running as admin and my hosts are editable, still not working.

right click the host file, and click run as administrator

and add this:

74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com

Still error 3194, umbrella says that i have the SHSH files saved.

[Simon]

have you tried the other method with just editing the hosts files, put it in dfu then restore? Tiny umbrella has nothing to do with this way, it should not be running when you try this. Also restarting your computer after editing the hosts files could help or try using a different computer altogether.

[MindGem]

1. Rebooted.
2. DFU mode.
3. Restoring.
4. Got the error again.

[Simon]

I dont know what else to tell you except try another computer if you can.

I modified my room-mates hosts files and downgraded almost 7 times on her laptop

[Backslash786]

does this have to be done:


1) Find the shsh file you want to use (e.g. 1111111111111-iphone-3.0.shsh for 3.0)

2) Open cmd.exe and cd to the fw-umbrella-semaphore directory (cd Desktop/fw-umbrella-semaphore)

3) Important! Disable any other servers using port 80 (usually webservers). TinyTSS needs to use it to create it's mini-webserver.

4) If you installed 32bit Java type: tinytss.exe -f 1111111111111-iphone-3.0.shsh
If you installed 64bit Java type: tinytss64.exe -f 1111111111111-iphone-3.0.shsh
Where 1111111111111-iphone-3.0.shsh is the name of the shsh file you want to use



>>>? does it have to be done? if so hows it done?

thanks

[Simon]

No that looks like old instructions, tiny umbrella now does that automatically. Although seeing if anything is using port 80 could be key to people having issues now too.

[Backslash786]

how can i sort it out then?

cheers

[Simon]

Did you ever get to try it on another computer yet?

How to Check and Identify Which Application is Listening or Opening Port 80 and 443 on Windows My Digital Life
I just used these instructions to find out if anything was using port 80 on my pc, seems my tivo desktop server was using it so that could give me problems if I tried using tiny umbrella on this pc.

[Vonnie Boo]

tiny umbrella isn't showing me any shsh on file for my device but i know they should be in Cydia for 3.1.3, 4.0 and 4.0.1. Help please. after restore do I have to rejailbreak with Blackra1n?

[Simon]

How sure are you they are in cydia?

[Vonnie Boo]

i hit the make my life easier button a while back. Since then I have logged onto cydia and seen the message at the top that said the blobs were on file for 3.1.3, 4.0 and 4.0.1

[Simon]

Ok sounds good, are you sure you are using tiny umbrella right then? You are running it as administrator, plugging in your phone then clicking on advanced and choosing those firmware for 3GS right?

[Backslash786]

I have tried on 2 different computer it don't work

[Simon]

Did you try and see if anything else was running on port 80?

[Backslash786]

Nope but I don't think anything is as the laptop has recently been formatted and it ain't got anything on it

[Simon]

I didn't think I would find anything either, but I did.
