    Default 3GS not working after Blackra1n?

    I jailbroke/unlocked my 3GS with Blackra1n and then i installed pushfix and when I rebooted my phone the iPhone won't boot, and it's stuck on the Apple logo. I entered it in DFU mode to restore on iTunes and it won't let me and it says it isn't verified. What should I do next to get it back to booting? I also did a SHIFT + restore and tried to restore it with the 3.1.2 ispw file that i downloaded and it says the firmware is not compatible. Any ideas??

    You may have downloaded a corrupted firmware or iTunes may have stored a corrupted previously download firmware.
    1. Delete your iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw firmware you downloaded. Also, delete any firmware IPSW files that iTunes may have downloaded and stored in the following places:

      Windows XP
      CDocuments and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates

      Windows Vista
      CUsers\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates

      MAC OSX
      ~username/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
    2. Download firmware 3.1.2 for your iPhone 3GS directly from Apple here
    3. Restore stock firmware in iTunes using Shift+Restore (Windows) or Option+Restore (MAC). Do not put your 3GS into DFU mode or recovery mode. If you encounter problems, try recovery mode and then DFU mode.

    This thread topic is called "3gs not working after blackra1n". Your post has nothing to do with this topic. Please create your own post and ask your question there. There is a forum for redsn0w questions and problems here.
