Wierd issue....

[hondakorn]

I have an iPhone 4 on 4.2.10. I'm trying to downgrade to 4.2.8. SHSH blobs are there and saved. Itunes recognizes the phone in normal mode but when i go to restore all i get is a white screen.....and some time after that the 1601 error. Then I tried to jailbreak my current firmware using redsnow......once it gets to the "waiting for reboot" part, my screen turns white and nothing happens. I also notice that sometimes itunes will not recognize my phone when in the "connect to itunes"mode. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled a few versions of itunes to no avail. Is this a driver issue?

thanks in advance.

Restore only to custom firmware of 4.2.8 using TSS Server from Tiny Umbrella with your 4.2.8 saved blob.

Ive tried that but during the restore process (while tss is running) I get a 1601 error and a white screen.....maybe im missing something????

I fixed it, it was a driver issue....whenever the phone would boot into dfu it would install generic driver rather than the iboot ones. So i had to go to device manager, and choose one of the composite usb devices and updated the drivers manually to iboot drivers. I appreciate the response though

Yeah I don't know if I'm just not understanding the terms or if I really don't get that aspect. May I ask, what did you do to your device or computer to make you have to mess with the drivers? Restoring a device shouldn't be that complex, should it?

Glad you got it, usually your computer will be able to load the driver but sometimes it can't find it so you have to locate the driver for your device. I can tell , you are certainly an experienced computer user.
