this worked!

I’d tried numerous custom ipsw’s supposedly built for my phone. all failed to load (even in DFU mode)

i used itunes 9.0.3 and the phone in DFU mode to load the apple ipsw for 3.1.2

install failed at very end, and looking through the log, it was because modem firmware update refused to backrev in spite of iBoot not running,
but instructions to fix reboot loop let it comeup, and now runs well with 3.1.2 and the modem fw from 3.1.3

no unlocking, but i don’t need that.

Hey guys really don’t know what to do. Have tried using blackra1n to boot it but was unsuccesful. Tried to use iRecovery but struggle with the commands regestring, the only command that seems to work is reboot but it doesn’t allow printenv or setenv to work. Hmm any other suggestions?

Hey guys, Derf is right. Thank you very much for the help. I faced the same problem as Bab. Bab good news, just run blackrain again, it will boot your iphone up together with Winterboard installed. We’re using the tethered jailbreak. Hope this helps.

i dont see any of these

* Right click on this file. Select Properties | Compatibility Click the “Run this program in compatibility mode” box and select “Windows XP (Service Pack2)” from the drop down list.
* Right click again and select “Run as “Administrator”. Follow the installation instructions. Running the test program list the usb devices plugged into my computer – but not my new device.

My operating system is in french and the program executed in french. so i don’t know if language was automatic or if this link was for the french version. let me know if it execute in english also.

Well, here is my story with the 3.1.3 upgrade.
First I upgraded to 3.1.3 by mistake, then went back to 3.1.2, of course it will lock, but I also have a MAC, so once I plugged into the MAC it worked just fine.
A few months later, everything is as smooth as it could be, with the occasional freeze, and hung ups, I was using the iBlacklist to filter out some calls, and SMS privacy, but it was an unregistered version, I found a hack to register it, to avoid paying the $12 (which cost me more than $5000.00 in revenue loss, since my phone was down for more than 2 days), once I did the hack, the phone froze, and it stopped working, I have tried every possible way with every possible computer & OS with every possible firmware, coming up with all errors possible like the 1600, 1501, etc.., with no avail.
But….
here is the solution I found, which worked wonderfully, I even tried it 5 times just to make sure that it was NOT a random fix.
….
Use iTunes as usual to downgrade to 3.1.2, the official one, of course it will lock at the end saying it didn’t work with error 1500, 1501 or whatever error you come up with.
Open quickpwn, & reboot the phone again, once that is done, the phone automatically boot normally, no need to use iRecovery, eventhough I have tried to use it before discovering the solution with QuickPwn.
QuickPwn is NOT going to do anything for you but to reboot the phone in normal mode, & iTunes activates it (if you have AT&T of course).
