[alexes559]

i am having trouble upgrading my 3gs iPhone to 4.0 or higher cydia has my shsh saved from 3.1.3 to 4.1 i have tried to upgrade to 4.0 but i get the (request build) error, any suggestions??

Restore to custom firmware of 4.1 and you will be able to unlock too.
This is what you do :
Update your itunes to the latest.
Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b2, 3 or 4 is fine, download the stock 4.1 ipsw.
Now run redsn0w and browse to stock 4.1.
Check only the box : DFU mode only.
Perform this action until you see a message DFU done.
Now open up Itunes and shift + restore to this custom firmware of 4.1 which is in your PM box.
You can install Ultrsn0w to unlock to use with you current carrier.

Are you using tiny umbrella?

[alexes559]

i used tinyUmbrella and it says cannot start Tss service =(

[iYeow]

If you want to use tiny umbrella, you have to click save shsh to download all shsh blogs.

[Simon]

Just close tiny umbrella, put the iphone into dfu then try restoring it. If you require unlock you should follow Yeow's instructions though.

thanks for the help =)

i would love to put my phone in DFU mode but my sleep/wake button is dead =(( wahhhh

I am in a similar predicament and I was wondering once we restore the iPhone, would the SIM for the original carrier be required to activate the phone or not?

[alexes559]

i believe to activate thru iTunes you will need a ATT sim,

Restore to custom firmware of 4.1 and you will be able to unlock too.
This is what you do :
Update your itunes to the latest.
Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b2, 3 or 4 is fine, download the stock 4.1 ipsw.
Now run redsn0w and browse to stock 4.1.
Check only the box : DFU mode only.
Perform this action until you see a message DFU done.
Now open up Itunes and shift + restore to this custom firmware of 4.1 which is in your PM box.
You can install Ultrsn0w to unlock to use with you current carrier.

which FW do i use to restore in iTunes.... i got error(21) and my phone is now stuck on the apple logo

[iYeow]

The important part is Geohot's DFU , you must get it right and then shift + restore to my link firmware.
Close tiny umbrellla, you don't need it.
If you follow closely what i said, you will restore successfully.

Thank you im still trying to get this method to work im not sure what im doing wrong but its not loading all the way

[Simon]

It shouldnt load all the way. It is supposed to error and leave you with a blank screen in dfu mode.

[alexes559]

im sorry i was mistaking that method for another :P

i was reading thru the one in your link but it might aswell be in japanese im not familiar with any of that

[Simon]

Sorry, that's the only way I know how to get into dfu without a working home or power button.

[alexes559]
