help...sold iphone 4, trying to retore but stuck in recovery mode

**lunercrab** · 10-03-2011, 08:52 PM

Ok so i'm trying to restore my iphone 4 to 4.3.2 and it's stuck in recovery....i've tried using the fix recovery app from tinyumbrella, but everytime i try to open the app i keep getting a "this application was unable to open properly" and it shuts down...is there another method i can use to kick this phone out of recovery??

Do you have 4.3.2 shsh blob ?

Try fix recovery 43 , not from within TU

Put your recovery iphone into dfu mode and apply this

yep...have em' all....never had this problem on my old laptop...this is the first time doing it on the new laptop...don't know if that's the issue...but i can't figure out why i keep getting the errors when trying to open the fix recovery app...it just keep crashing...i've downloaded it numerous times....

Put the two files onto your desktop and try that.
If this doesn't kick it out, run redsn0w 0.9.9b1, there is a feature to kick it out too.
Let me know which one will do it for you.

i've edited the host files and everything...i still should have tss server running when restoring in itunes right if i'm going to a lower firmware?

that fix recovery 43 is the app that keeps crashing on me...my computer won't let me open it...that always worked for me....i'll try redsn0w

If you are restoring to firmware apple no longer signs, then you need to run tss server to verify your restore with saved blob. Do you see your 4.3.2 blob under general tab.

**lunercrab** · 10-03-2011, 09:42 PM

yep it shows it there....redsn0w was a no go either....i'll try restoring to 4.3.3....maybe that'll work....
like i said if i can only get that fix recovery app to open...that always worked for me....

What is your current baseband ?

**lunercrab** · 10-03-2011, 09:53 PM

lol wish i could tell you...it was the newest one that came with the 4.3.3 firmware...that's the highest firmware i've had on this phone...

**iYeow** · 10-03-2011, 09:55 PM

That is good, if you have 4.3.3 blob, in TU select iphone 4 bb update and use tss server for verification and restore to 4.3.3, you should not get any error.

If you don't check you will end at error 1013

You can restore to custom firmware of 4.3.3 to avoid error.

Ya that zlib1.dll is key, not sure why it isn't included.

So adding that and running fixrecovery43 fixed it for ya?
