dmcdad: Check what he wrote previously very well. I ignored it initially. He also said Bluetooth transfer isn't possible on iOS 5 and 6 only on earlier versions. We all need to do your research diligently before vomiting *****. I don't mean to be rude but when you say something that's wrong and you are corrected, admit your mistake instead of arguing blinding. |

HotNaijaBabe: Okay....Since it's factory unlock, you can go ahead and download the required firmware (iOS 6.0.1). As soon as you download it, open up iTunes and when it recognizes the phone, hold shift then click on update. iTunes would open a window that will enable you to search and select the downloaded firmware (it's advisable to place it on your desktop), then iTunes would do it's thing. I guess you won't encounter any error since it's the latest firmware and it's also stock. Although, there is no guarantee that you won't encounter any. Just make do with all these steps and lets know what the outcome is... NOTE!!! Please make sure you do a back-up of your contents before attempting the update. Any more questions on that, let me know. |

sun_temi: I understand... Probably he isn't much conversant with iOS devices. Don't blame him. He might just have a sincere intention to help, although that doesn't mean he should feed people with false informations. |

Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 12:30pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
HotNaijaBabe, just download iOS 6.0.1 firmware for iPhone 3Gs as dmcdad has said. Don't continue with the upgrade yet. I'm trying to check your iPhone imei to confirm maybe it's unlocked or not but at the moment, Apple server is down. I will keep checking it and when I finally get through, I will inform you. While you' waiting, google "iPhone firmware" and download iOS 6.0.1 firmware for iPhone 3Gs. |

I tried again to enter DFU mode with redsn0w and it still didn't work. What exactly am I doing wrong? |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 1:09pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
dival247: Thanks man! dmcdad: Maybe she didn't know. Most people don't. |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 1:20pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
sun_temi: You are right... I think it's locked. That means she would need custom firmware to upgrade... |

Plz does tinyumbrella, redsn0w and ifaith require an internet connection to save shsh blobs for iphone... |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 3:16pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
bukason: Plz does tinyumbrella, redsn0w and ifaith require an internet connection to save shsh blobs for iphone... You will need internet connection as there would be authentication by the software (TU, Redsnow etc) with Apples servers to save the SHSH .plist file.!!! |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by bukason: 3:24pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
dmcdad:i doubt that, the last tym i tried. I waited 4 15mins 4 ifaith to save my blobs bt it keep sayin "downloading essentials" |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 3:29pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
bukason: You are right... Although I think one can retrieve blobs from cydia servers(not apples') using TU without internet... |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by bukason: 3:49pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
dmcdad:unfortunately 4 me, i hv tinyumbrella and already installed java runtime enviroment on ma system bt still cant run d TU... Any help? |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 4:09pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
bukason: At first use of TU, you have to be connected to the internet..... Then after that, you can always use it without the internet |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Nobody: 5:01pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
dmcdad:The problem centered on the limitations of OS 4.1 on a 3Gs. I cannot use most of the applications include Facebook, whatsapp, etc, as most of these applications can only run on OS 4.3 upward. So I downloaded OS 4.3 & 6.0 with a viewing to manually updating from OS 4.1 to either 4.3 or 6.0. Whenever, I tried to do the update and after contacting itune, it will just say update cannot be done bcs of error1394. I've googled for similar problem, one person say the error iscaused by cable, but I've also tried different cables all to no avail. Do u understand my explanation? What do u think can be done. Have you ever upgrade from 4.1 to any higher OS? |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Nobody: 5:06pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
dmcdad: 90% of 3GS users on 4.1 bb6.15 think they are using a factory unlocked iPhone |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 5:35pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
tumababa: You are right... |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by dmcdad: 5:37pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
honor2011: I understand what you are going through... I will explain when i have the time. You can as well PM me so I can get to remember when I am dispose to type something quite lengthy... |
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 5:55pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
The following information are for iPhone 3Gs users on iOS 4.1 The reason most iPhone 3GS users are on iOS 4.1 is because for an unknown reason, Apple is still signing 4.1 shsh blogs on iPhone 3Gs. And iOS 4.1 has untethered jailbreak which will enable you to software unlock your iPhone. there are two types of iPhone 3Gs. One with "old bootrom" and the other with "new bootrom". Those with "old bootrom" will forever have untethered jailbreak every time Apple releases new update for the iPhone 3Gs (thanks to limera1n). Those with the "new bootrom" will have to wait till there is untethered jailbreak for the current iOS version e.g iOS 6.0.1 You may be wondering why you need jailbreak, why can't you just upgrade to iOS 6. This is the answer; aside from the fact that iPhone 3Gs comes with either "new bootrom" or "old bootrom", some are factory locked while the others are factory unlocked Those with factory locked iPhone 3Gs Rely on software (Ultrasn0w from Cydia) to unlock their iPhone. That's where jailbreak comes in. You can't software unlock your iPhone without first jailbreaking it. Software unlocking your iPhone requires installing Ultrasn0w from Cydia (Jailbreak Store just like Apple's AppStore). And you can't have without jailbreaking. Those with factory unlocked iPhone can upgrade to iOS 6 as they don't rely on software for unlock. |

honor2011: What is your Base band version? Go to "Settings", then "General" click "About" and scroll down to "Modem Firmware" See attached screenshot for example If your Modem Firmware is 6.15.0, It might be the cause, you will have to restore with Custom iOS version
