Help: iPhone 3G - repeated unable to restore error 1015

Lol of course Simon.

@sasaben, yes do as x98car says. It's essential that we determine your bootloader so you can possibly downgrade your baseband instead of upgrading it. But if not then the upgrade is the only way.

[sasaben]

so fix crecovery isnt an option- its not highlighted
should i try greenpoison rc6.1? how do i go about it?

lol, gotta do it again Annie, dont hate me

He has a 3GS so his bootloader wont matter, no downgrading baseband for him (at least not yet).

Just download greenpoison form greenpoison.com and follow the instructions it gives you for entering DFU. When it tells you to hold your home button in the last part keep holding your home button until you see scrolling text on the iPhone's screen.

[sasaben]

how long should it take? the last part?

it never lets the last step ffinish.. when there is 5 seconds left, it changed to the jailbreak screen

[Simon]

Thats fine, just press jailbreak at that point. Make sure you keep holding the home button throughout all this until you see the scrolling text.

[sasaben]

how long should this take? my thumb can only handle so much lol

[Simon]

Shouldnt take long at all. Try following this guide: iClarified - iPhone - How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 Using Greenpois0n (Windows)

[sasaben]

ok, so i basically get to the jailbreak part and click jailbreak.. its says jailbreaking in the 2 boxes, but shows no progress


i think my phone hates me!

[i.Annie]

Normally when I use greenpois0n, it takes a few minutes to hold the home button. But if it passes 5 minutes that's not right

[sasaben]

omg! spoke to soon
it just filled up green and my screen is lit

[Simon]

Just try the process again. It can take a few tries sometimes.

Sounds like you are getting somewhere.

[sasaben]

it told me to retry.. what if i dont see rolling text?

[Simon]

Just keep trying until you do.

[sasaben]

ok, will do

should my sim card be inserted? or does it not make a differnece?

[Simon]

Doesnt make a difference yet.
