Please Help !! , iPhone 3g iOS4

[emo-3amer]

Some Important Notes you should know about my iPhone 3g :

1 - The Sleep/Wake button is Broken
2 - Jailed and Locked iOS 4 is Currently Installed
3 - My iPhone is in Recovery Mode at the Moment
4 - The Volume Button is also broken

.................................................. ..

I Can't do anything now , I Tried to Install a Custom iOS 4 Software (JB'ed by Sn0wFreeze) But I Can't Install it , I Can't Enter DFU Mode (Read Note 1) and I Can't Install a Custom Software (Note 2) , I can only look at that stupid recovery mode logo on my iphone .

I tried to Downgrade the software to an old one (3.1.2) because it can be jailbreaked by BlackRa1n so after I JB it I reInstall the Custom Softwere , When I Restore it it works fine until I get a message "Error 1015" Which Can't be fixed without Entering DFU Mode (Note 1) .

What Should I Do !? Please Answer I Need HELP !!

When you arrive at error 1015, use kick out of recovery from the feature of Tiny Umbrella.

[emo-3amer]

after the error it goes out of recovery but does it really matter ?? (I Still Can't JB It)

[iYeow]

Is it recovery or emergency screen. It should be emergency screen.

Yes, from emergency screen, run redsn0w to hactivate and jailbreak at 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 but point to 3.1.2 when you are ask to browse.

[emo-3amer]

after the error it goes to the emergency screen , but the software installed is iOS4 and red snow is not recognizing the ipsw file , any other solution needs a Jailbroken Installed software or DFU Mode

[iYeow]

Oh, i thought you restored to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, if you are at 4.0 , you want to hactivate, use Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 to jailbreak. If you have the valid sim, then you can use jailbreakme.

[emo-3amer]

I don't have a valid SIM, that's why my iPhone is in Emergency Mode ...

[iYeow]

Then use Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 to jailbreak IOS 4.0 or 4.0.1 but it is very slow, you won't like it.
Another way, is to go down to 3.1.2, jailbreak it and back up to 4.1 with snowbreeze, it can hactivate but you will not be able to use Youtube and having some syncing problem.
Which way do you want to go?

Or you can stay at 3.1.3 if you like, runs great too.

[emo-3amer]

I tried it but it didn't work fine

another error appeared ( i cant remember its code but i think it starts with 3*** ) ( it's usually a downgrading error)

[iYeow]

No problem getting to 3.1.3, if you want I can guide you.

If you restore to stock 4.xx, you will need shsh blogs or you will get error 3194

[emo-3amer]

sure why not ?

but please make sure I won't have any more errors

[iYeow]

Is it 3.1.3 you want ? I will write it up for you

[emo-3amer]

yes , thanks

[iYeow]

You can update your itunes to the latest.
Put iphone into DFU mode
Do the shift + Restore to 3.1.3
Error 1015 pops up
Kick out of recovery from TU
Now at Emergency Screen
Dowload 3.1.2 ipsw too onto your desktop
Run Redsn0w 0.9.4 and point to 3.1.2
Once restored ,you are jailbroken at 3.1.3
Install Ultrasn0w to unlock.
That is it.

[emo-3amer]

I Can't Put my iPhone into DFU Mode Because My Sleep/Wake button is broken

do you know any app to Enter DFU mode from pc ?

[iYeow]

Just shift + restore to 3.1.3 from emergency screen

and see what happens.

Is it working?

[143voltron]

has anybody been successful in upgrading to 4.1 and using redsnow .96B?

[iYeow]

Becareful using Redsn0w for windows, do you need an unlock ?

[emo-3amer]

as i said in anither post , it works fine until i installed the custom ios4 to my 3g ... the volume button is broken and always pressed on the up so the ring box is always in the middle of the screen .. i also get a stupid sync problem beside those problems , ios4 is great

[iYeow]

If you need unlock , this is the only way to go with snowbreeze. If you don't need unlock you can update to 4.1 and try out redsn0w 0.9.6b1

You should get an unused valid sim.
