Pwnage 2.0 Error 1600, wont recognize iPhone

[princemarko]

I got the iPhone into DFU mode and tried to restore with iTunes, however, it gave me an error 1600, now i cannot kick the iPhone out of DFU mode and worse, iTunes wont recognize the iPhone on any of my 3 computers. What can I do guys???

[loocfa]

im having the same issues
but itunes recognizes iphone as does iphoto
going to try a few more repwnage, restore, dtf mode, try figure this out
sometime full itunes restore helps.
i will post back with more info if my situation improves

tried and tried again same 1600 error
then some combo i did worked,
cant remember what i did,
but im pretty sure it had something to do with selecting the same ipsw file in itunes as you just pwnage,
sounds simple,
but if you like me and have 5/6 different 2.0 ipsw files located on your mac its easy to get confussed,
esp with mary janes helping you.
everything working 100%
thou not sure about unlock as i use an old cingilaur payasyougo sim
ask me if you got any questions,

Not one of my computers will recognize the iphone except my windows as a USB device. Other than that, i have no luck. I tried to restore back to 2.0 from Apple itself, but nothing, now the iPhone is just not recognized.

Ok, people... here is whats up... downgrade your iTunes to 7.5, hold the DFU mode buttons again and it will come up asking you to restore... press option and find your 1.1.4 software and restore... WHEW!!

[reeko]

no, no need.

enter dfu mode, open ipwn and run the process again. when it gets to turn phone off, hold power/home and enter recovery mode, click yes to retry in ipwn and then enter dfu mode again. ipwn will then say "ready to restore in itunes"

THEN you hold alt + click restore and choose custom firmware in itunes and restore.

DFU= hold power/home for 7 seconds, screen goes blank, wait 2 seconds with blank screen and release power button, keep holding the home button until itunes recognises the phone as in recovery mode and the phone has a blank screen

im in the same position as you. my bootcamp partition will recognize it as a usb device... but my mac can't see my iphone at all. this really sucks.

I got it to work but it's kind of complicated to explain over the net but I'll try, after pwnage installs the .ipsw go into DFU when it shows on iTunes go back to pwnage and hit the next arrow it then will take you into the steps it'll ask you to turn of your phone so turn it on(mine went into recovery) and then turn it off, after that it will then take you step by step what to do after you're done hit the next arrow then do the .ipsw recovery in iTunes... I hope I didn't lose anybody but this is what I did and I tried explaining it the best I could

[nickarodriguez]

I was getting the 1600 error too...just tried it again going back through ipwnage and the third time was the charm...don't really know?

[ajmooseman]

Mine is totally F*cked the iphone is not reconised by and pc or mac now, the screen is black there is no life in the phone, I lost....stick...tearful and P*ssed of!

I nearly wet the bed this morning after seeing the news, now I wish I'd stopped in bed


Help anyone

OK guys phone alive again!!

Not sure how or why, but I sat there holding power abd home down together for 30 sec's phone started up again.


Going to try one last time see if I can sort this Pwn 2 out!

[warbie1]

If for some reason you dont manage a restore while in dfu mode all is not lost, it may seem that the phone wont get out of dfu mode or restart but simply hold the power and home buttons together and it eventually will. don't know the exact science but it works.

Hi Guys,
I used a combo of reeko, and midgetadam's posts and I was able to get past the error1600.
iTunes had to recognise my iPhone in recovery then I was able to follow the instructions on pwnage.

[princemarko]

Note to everyone with this problem... go thru Pwnage again and hold the home and power buttons again to get into DFU Mode again.. Listen, dont worry that your iphone isnt recognized by the computer, its there i promise you. Just go thru the steps again for DFU Mode and it will kick start it.

Updated info from the iphone dev blog: blog.iphone-dev.org

Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir ~/Library/iTunes/”Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.

Update 4: Here’s another mirror.

Update 5: If DFU restores are giving you trouble, another route to pwned 2.0 for 1G owners is to use our first pwnage at 1.1.4. Once you are pwned there, you can do a normal recovery-mode restore to your custom 2.0 ipsw. BTW the iPhone does *not* need to be pre-pwned to be able to DFU-restore into a pwned ipsw — it needs to be pre-pwned only for normal recovery-mode restores of custom ipsw’s.

Update 6: Mail application not working at 2.0? Please restore to your custom ipsw (you don’t need to DFU restore if you are pwned, normal restore will work now too) but then select “Set up as a new iPhone” when iTunes asks. Your first sync will bring back all of your settings anyway.

I am already pwned 1.1.4 and i am getting error 1600 messages from itunes when I try to recover from DFU mode via the custom IPSW.

Am I reading this correctly here?

Just to make sure: can I go to Itunes and do a normal " not DFU mode" recovery via I tunes and the Custom IPSW that I made via Pwnage 2.01?

I am from the netherlands and I want to exclude any mistakes just because I do not quite understand the English language so a yes or no to my question would help me out here

Thanks

I had the same problem and that worked for me. My iphone was at 1.4 previously pwned/unlocked.

Loading custom ipsw in DFU caused 1600 error. Loading the same custom ipsw through in normal mode through itunes seems to have loaded correctly.

[DOarrival]

hey i think I see what the problem is. You really have to make sure that you phone goes into the correct DFU mode. I was looking at this thread and trying everything everyone said. Nothing worked. Then I remembered that there were different DFU modes and I tried to put it in the one where you see the iphone screen has the "usb cable with itunes symbol" not the "black screen" one. try that.

[reeko]

there is only 1 dfu mode.

recovery mode = itunes lead

dfu mode = black screen

I know this topic is pretty old, but doing this worked for me. Restore custom firmware without putting it in DFU mode.

This is slowly killing me.

I have been trying to pwn my new iPhone 3G for 3 and a half hours.

I have tried everyone's techniques and help.

I'm going to try it on another mac now, and then I'm giving up till tomorrow.
