dfu mode....

thanks....

so i tried in dfu mode and im getting that nasty 1600 error message. so i guess i wasnt suppose to be in dfu mode. so im gonna try to restore it to normal and then do the custom restore.

You can restore to a unmodified firmware without it. You need it to restore to a pwned firmware (at least the first time).

ok i dont know what im doing wrong. i updated to the unmodded 2.1 and now im trying to load my custom fw. (option+restore) and i get an unknown error (6).

Try to restore in dfu to the original fw then get into restore mode and restore to your custom fw

im not sure i understand you pncntigger, but correct me if im wrong. i enter dfu mode since i've loaded an original fw. once in dfu mode then restore to my custom fw. and that should do it?

Last resort. It's not for the faint of heart, beware.
