    Sorry, I am not completely understanding the abreviations... I did uncheck with UT, closed it. Put the iPhone in DFU with redsn0w, but it won't work with the ctw on iTunes. Maybe I do not have the good cfw...

    I unchecked like you said, put the iPhone in DFU. Opened iTunes, CFM to that file I found, and I get an error saying 'Could not be restored because the FW is not compatible'..

    Yes, I have iTues 10.1.1.4

    Thank you a lot... if you can PM me with the cfm, it would greatly help.. I tried three of them, don't know where to look at. Anyway, thanks for the help..

    I am now downloading the CFW from this guide: http://*************/topic/98192-how...firmwareguide/
    It is said to be a 3GS, 4.2.1, custom firmware. I'll let you kow in ten minutes.

    VICTORY!

    Worked. PM me for the link.
    But now, I have to find out how to re-activate and unlock without the original SIM card. If anybody knows, please tell!

    Thanks for the help guys!
