So I followed this step by step exactly as described and received “The iPod could not be restored. This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.” Does this mean that I did not click on the ‘Make My Life Easier’ button? Or am I missing something here? Thanks for your help.

Hi, my 3gs iPhone specifications are 3.1.2. (7D11), model MC135LL and FirmWare 05.11.07, (jailbroken with blackra1n) and had a loop recovery problem after doing a reset network settings as iPhone became “unstable” (short loss of wifi).
So I kept it blocked over a week, and then followed kaubut0145 tuto how to downgrade 3.1.3. to 3.1.2. (but I wasn’t in 3.1.3. yet): strangely it worked, restarted and I noticed I had saved my ECID on Saurik’s files, (which I didn’t remember having done so…).
Anyway, now I still have a problem, leaving in Thailand, True is the official carrier, I have a True simcard but didn’t buy the phone by their service, I have full signal, wi-fi etc….
I can send textos (sms), I can receive calls, but I cannot pass any call !?!?!?
Been trying for 3 days, but still cannot make a call, wonder what’s wrong….
Beside this, after having successfully installed Cydia and install0us, I’m experiencing download issues in install0us, loose the connection for unknown reason, but the wi-fi signal is very good and the icon doesn’t disappear…
Any help would be very welcome…
Many thanks

Your instructions for the windows version of events is wrong. The “#” character is the comment indicator. Anything following a “#” is therefore ignored. This is evident when you run a simple test after saving the host file: open Command Prompt, and type “ping gs.apple.com”

If you do not get a reply from the 74.208.10.249 address, you have “commented out” the coveted line.

Remove the “#” character from in front of the ip/hostname provided.

Pinging the same DNS name, gs.apple.com, gives you the proper ping response from 74.208.10.249. This is how iTunes gets “tricked” into thinking it’s communicating with Apple servers.

FOR THOSE GETTING THE “The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn’t eligible for requested build”, all you have to do is NOT place the iPhone into DFU mode. Just restore whilst the phone is still on and plugged in normally.

It worked perfectly for me.

Also another note, I used 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com.
