good thing I didnt upgrade

So i forgot that there was issues with pwnage and itunes 8, and went ahead and tried to use pwnage tool to restore with FW 2.0.2.

Now i am stuck in restore mode and nothing works. I tried quick pwn for Mac but it doesn't reconize my phone. I tired using itunes 7.6 and that didn't work i got the 1600 error again.

Can someone please help me here i'm phone-less lol

Issue resolved did a restore to the factory FW 2.0.2 not the custom.

That worked for me too

I just wanted to say that today my friend brought his iphone over never been pwn jailbroken or unlocked. And I already updated to 8.0. But I figured i would give it a try anyways. So I ran Winpwn 2.5 for firmware 2.0.1 on his phone. Winpwn Crashed. I when into Itunes Shift click restore selected the Custom firmware i just created and it worked great no issues or anything. Just thought i would share that The Custome fireware worked for me on Itunes 8.0 Hope maybe this helped someone out there. I havent tried this out on my iphone which has been pwn'd worth a shot tho just to re pwn itunes

let me get this right.
If my iphone is allready pwned then I wont get the 1600 error? while restoring to custom ispw files.

If it was un pwned then id be getting the error? unless I used quickpwn.

I also got the error in iTunes 8 when trying to restore my phone in DFU. It was a 3G 2.0.1 done through pwnage.

Instead of going into DFU I tried someones recommendation of opt + restore when the iPhone is running like normal. BAM. Worked great!

*n00B* Thanks for the tip! Didn't know that. Better do my research first before hacking.

Ok, I have found a way to Restore with a custom firmware in iTunes8 (windows XP), pay attention, ita a little tricky, but I did it with 3 iPhones in a row and it worked:

NOTE: MUST HAVE an Custom Firmware 2.0.2 already (unlocked, etc etc...)

1.- get iTunes8 (duh)

2.- Open winpwn 2.5 BETA2

3.- Expert mode ON, and select 2.0.2, now follow the normal proccedure as you will create a custom firmware, as always ... unlock, select destination of the custom firmware (YOU WONT USE THIS) bla bla bla ... you will get to the step where you must DFU your iPhone, just do it ... now, the screen goes white and winPWN will try to create de custom firmware, it will fail and windows will says something lilke: "winPWN 2.5 has crashed and must be closed"

4.- now, you will have 3 choices in that windows (depure, dont send report of error, send report to microsoft), you must select DEPURE 2 or 3 times ... while you are doing this, open iTunes8, the iPhone's screen will remain white!!! now shift+click restore button and select the 2.0.2 custom firmware you had before (NOT THE ONE YOU JUST CREATED, remember that winPWN crash and WILL NOT WORK!!)

5.- Sit and relax ... you will be in 2.0.2, now go and try UPDATE to 2.1 again, DO NOT RESTORE

Good luck!

Hi.

Mine 3G was update to 2.1 with iTunes 8.0, using recovery mode. DFU mode awayls got 1600 error. The problem is: once I make a restart on the phone, it stills on apple logo. I tryed to restore more than tree times. When I restore to 2.0.2 everthing works fine. Somebody has the same problem?

Tks a lot,

I had the same "1600" this morning with my 2G and pre-pwned 2.0.1.
I only pwned it again with Pwnage-Tool (after building the custom fw). After that it worked!

I also am using a mac... I also upgraded to iTunes 8.0... I also was getting the error(1600) when trying to restore a custom pwnage firmware in DFU mode... was getting frustrated and then decided to try it while NOT in DFU mode, and guess what, it worked! Well it did for me, tell me if it does for you please

So there you have it, you do not have to enter DFU mode. Infact in my case the only way to get the custom firmware to install was to do it out of DFU... just in regular mode.
Step my step:
1) Turn on your iPhone
2) Plug it into your computer and allow iTunes to detect it as normal.
3) Now hit option/restore and select the custom firmware
thats it!

If your stuck in DFU mode and dont know how to get out, just hold the sleep and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds... then release both buttons and just hit the sleep button. The phone should power on like normal

Thanks Reznor9 so much. I had tried everything and almost gave up unlocking my iphone with itunes 8.0 until I read your message.

Unplug your phone and restore and it all works fine.

Thanks

[Macboy67]

If your having problems downgrading just uninstall iTunes 8 and install iTunes 7.7 then install firmware 2.0 and then jailbreak with a custom firmware.

Kept getting error 1600 finally tried doing the restore without DFU mode, letting ITunes do all the work. Worked great!!! Using OSX 10.4.11 and ITunes 8.0. Been Jailbreaking since 1.4. Good Luck All!!!
