@ Fahim The only solution is to disable your 3G and upgrade the latest version of rebel sim. I hope Dev team will release it very soon.

@ Fahim BAseband 02.30.03 is downgradable up to bootloader 5.8 only You should have to wait for dev team or try rebel or piggy sim hack.

@Iquanyin About error 1013 check comment no.4 on this page. For error 13 this is the most weird one you can try various tricks like change ur USB port,Reinstall iTunes, If possible try on different computer.

In mine case here is what i did, Unplug the iphone from computer then uninstall itunes, To uninstall you need to go to the apple website and download the new itunes. it will ask you if you want to repair or uninstall … click uninstall….it will ask you to restart your computer. then simply reinstall itunes, plug in your phone and restore it to it’s original format. it will then download all your info to your last restored date. This should work!

um, this is weird. my own phone (jailbroken, latest fw) wasn’t starting, but i have restored it. apparently hardware issues. anyway, i decided to see, since i was doing stuff anyway, if i could get a 3g my son gave me working. he had just gotten it a couple of months before, then it quit working (so prob about 4 months old now). he never unlocked nor jb it. apple was a butt, moisture sensor triggered, so he gave it to me. here’s the thing: it restores (latest ver of itunes) but gives 1013 at the end. since it’s never been unlocked or jb, i don’t understand this. i decided to try pwning it (on windows, xp dexktop), but can’t get the blue arrow to proceed. i’ve restored and repwnd my own (2.g) phone on this machine several times with (almost) no problems. any ideas what’s going on with the 3.g? should i try independence to force it into the right mode? i just don’t see how error 13 even arose at all. thanks for any advice.

btw, i gotten my 2.g into dfu mode many times. this 3.g just gets the apple for a few seconds, then flips back to restore mode (that’s the usb cable = itunes logo, right?) i assume that’s why i can’t get the blue pwn arrow to continue.

also, i’m somewhat familiar with the files on my own phone via ifiles, i even modify icons with it. but i’ve never used ssh, and since the 3g wasn’t jb, that wouldn’t work anyway because it lacks open ssh. um, right? i’ll check back in a few.
