iphone stuck in recovery mode (error 1611)

[akhater]

I have a 3gs that is giving me a hard time.

It is stuk in recovery mode and when I exit recovery mode using iREB it goes into boot loop, I tried fixrecovery without any success. TinyUmbrella is seeing it as Model Type INVALID

I tried to install on it iPad baseband it went without problems on redsnow but it didn't fix it.

iRecovery -s is not doing any good either printenv is not returning anything.

When I try to restore in in iTunes to any version i get error 1611, just before that the phone displays the apple or sn0breeze logo with the progress bar as if it was going to restore and then reboots again

any help is greatly appreciated, I'm ready to pay for someone to guide me on how to fix it.

I am using windows

thanks

Have you ever modified your host file in iTunes (you would do this in the past to restore to an old firmware).

Also, this is a custom firmware you are trying to install right?

I used tiny umbrella for this

[kraziebone]

If the phone has successfully installed the ipad baseband, you will only be able to use custom firmware. Please tell us your steps thus far. Have you used Tiny Umbrella in the past to save you SHSH blobs? You should be doing this if you have
create custom firmware (using sn0wbreeze)
-use iReb to go into DFU mode(not to exit recovery mode)
-run Tiny umbrellas TSS server
-install the custom firmware using the shift+restore method while in DFU mode

This assumes you have backed up your SHSH blobs in the past with Tiny Umbrella and that you have updated to the iPad baseband.

I assumed a lot in this so please tell me what your situation is

1. Are you trying to update your phone in iTunes with a custom firmware.
2. Are you using the iPad baseband (6.15)
3. Have you backed up your SHSH's with Tiny Umbrella prior to your phone bugging out
4. What version of firmware are you attempting to install - the newest one?
5. iReb will get rid of a lot of the 16xx errors if you put your phone in DFU mode with iREB before restoring. Have you tried this?

Thank you for the replies so far

>>create custom firmware (using sn0wbreeze)

-run Tiny umbrellas TSS server
-install the custom firmware using the shift+restore method while in DFU mode<<

this is exactly what I did same error 1611

1. Are you trying to update your phone in iTunes with a custom firmware.
I tried with both and it didn't work, last thing I did was install iPAD baseband so I can't use stock anymore, custom is still failing with 1611
2. Are you using the iPad baseband (6.15)
I used redsnow to install it and it told me done, the phone is not booting up so I have no means to make sure
3. Have you backed up your SHSH's with Tiny Umbrella prior to your phone bugging out
I do have SHSH of 4.1 in TinyUmbrella but TU is now seeing the phone as a different device, not the same one before the crash so I am unable to use the saved SHSH
4. What version of firmware are you attempting to install - the newest one?
I tried all 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.3.0, 4.2.1, 4.1 stuck and custom
5. iReb will get rid of a lot of the 16xx errors if you put your phone in DFU mode with iREB before restoring. Have you tried this?
Yes I tried this

if you use sn0wbreeze, there is no reason to use tinyumbrella (unless installing pre 3.2.1)

build cfw with sn0wbreeze (in baseband preservation mode, not prejailbroken) then put phone in dfu mode with sn0wbreeze, then restore pointing your device to the cfw you built and you should be good

if you keep getting errors, move the usb port your device is plugged into
