Download tiny umbrella and add your device manually using your ecid. Then press save SHSH to see what you get.

here is the result

[Simon]

That means you can restore to 4.1 or 4.2.1.

[Simon]

Do you know what firmware it was on last? Also I suggest 4.1 for you since you have a new bootrom 3GS.

No,i absolutely have no idea what firmware was on it
So can my 3gs come back to life?
Can i jailbreak and unlock it?
First of all i should restore it to stock 4.1 by pressing shift and then clicking restore on itunes?

[Simon]

You should probably use a custom firmware made with sn0wbreeze to restore to just in case you have a baseband that can be unlocked. Follow this guide: HOW TO: Jailbreak iOS 4.1 with Sn0wbreeze 2.1

That is the no SHSH error. Have you tried running the tss server when restoring? Also make sure you are in dfu when trying.

I dont know wats happening with me
Passed that 3194 error like u said,started tss server from tiny umbrella
And now got 1601 error when it says PREPARING IPHONE FOR RESTORE

[iYeow]

Run redsn0w 0.9.6b6 and browse to stock 4.1 firmware. Check only the box dfu mode only until you see dfu done.
Now run itunes and restore to this CFW of 4.1

it flashed the file, competed succesfully and iphone went in dfu mode
restarted and again in dfu mode
lights not turning on..its in a constant state of dfu mode

[Simon]

What flashed the file?

[iYeow]

Try triggering it into recovery mode. Hold both button until it the screen goes off and immediately release the Power but keep holding the home button and at the same time plug in your iphone into pc.

[max414]

As Iyeow said
I download the redsnow
browsed to stock 4.1 ipsw
redsnow asked if I have new 3gs(fixed)..I answered YES
then redsnow asked me to please select ur options
I just Ticked JUST ENTER PWNED DFU MODE RIGHT NOW
next next and finsh..it exploited with limerain

Than i ran tss server from tiny umbrella
AND did shift restore and selected the firmware that snowbreeze made
All went successfull
when iphone restarted it was in DFU mode
and its in constant dfu mode

[Simon]

Are you sure you have new bootrom? You can use idetector to find out.

When you made the custom firmware did you choose to activate or not?

[iYeow]

You don't need to run tss server. Try again.

[max414]

Yes i Have the new boot rom (359.3.2)
Yes it was already checked default by the snowbreezw...

[Simon]

That may be your issue. Snowbreeze has activation issues. Do you have a official carrier sim you can use to activate?

Also when you say you are in constant dfu do you see anything on the screen?

[max414]

I see nothing on screen..
its blank as if phone is not even powered on
I dont have official sim...
