    Default Upgrade JB 4.2.1 to 4.3.1 -- Not Eligible?

    I'm currently jailbroken on an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 MF 01.59.00. The other night (I think when 4.3.2 was released) I attempted to update my phone to 4.3.1 using pwnage custom firmware. I was able to create the custom software and like before put my phone into the required mode to restore my phone via itunes. I'm running mac os x 10.6.7 and itunes 10.2.1. When itunes begins the restore process I get the following error: "The phone "iPhone" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

    why am I getting this error? Is there a way for me to update my phone to 4.3.1 instead of 4.3.2?

    Thanks!

    You need 4.3.1 SHSH otherwise you will get that error.

    EDIT: NM, I got it I think. I forgot to run the TSS server.. DOH!

    Grrr... I might need some help. My phone goes through the restore process all the way with tiny umbrella running then refuses to reboot after it does the firmware. Even after I close tiny umbrella, I'm till notified by itunes that my phone is in recovery mode...

    I keep having to push fix recovery and exit recovery within tiny umbrella and now my phone won't boot

    I've been battling it out with this thing for hours... I can't even get itunes to take 4.3.2. I keep getting this error and my phone is stuck in DFU mode help please.

    I got the problem "fixed" through apple. For some reason they were able to restore my phone to 4.3.2 but I couldn't with a valid firmware package I downloaded via iTunes

    I had 1600, 1602, 9, 2100...etc.

    Screen was all black when I got there so stuck in DFU mode, Tiny Umbrella and RecBoot and similar apps show this but every time I attempted to go out of recovery mode It wouldn't and then fix boot would highlight in tiny umbrella.

    Now I'm on 4.3.2 resyncing my phone but i lost my jailbreak and I'm on the new modem firmware so I can't sell the phone if I wanted, to an unlocker

    If you were thinking of selling it, you should have left it at 4.2.1. Now you can only sell it to official carrier buyer
