How to Update Your iPhone 4 Without Upgrading the Baseband (Mac) [4.3.1]
Comments

Hi. I need Help. I'd like to update my jailbroken iPhone 4 (9A405 MC608L firmware 04.10.01) actual os: 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. I tried with redSn0w and i couldn't

hello... can i update my iphone 4 baseband 04.11.08 to 6.15.00 on IOS 5.0.1? thanks!!

I got this error after upgrading Jailbroken and Unlocked iPhone 4 with baseband 01.59.00 on iOS 4.0.1 to iOS 4.3.3 using this guide: "Unable to find gBdevList Unable to find fs_mount Unable to find fs_unmount Unable to find fs_load _file Greenpois0n initialized" It was a mess to fix it but I was lucky enough to find this post that save my life and USD 400 that I paid for my iPhone: These are the steps that I followed: 1- Open Tinyumbrella and click Fix Recovery 2- While it is launching Greenpois0n go to the terminal and run ./irecovery -s a couple of times. That stops Greenposon to load and the iPhone will get a white screen. 3- Then I opened Redsnow, Extras and click on PWNED DFU. 4- Finally I Restore from iTunes a Custom ipsw 4.3.3 created with Pwnage

Will this work with OS 4.3.X on my iPhone 3G[S]?

Maybe you should have your mom read the bold type to you...

Hey everyone! I was wondering if this works with Verizon's 4.2.7? I keep trying to downgrade to 4.2.6, but its not allowing me to. Even after TinyUmbrella, 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com, and DFU mode. I tried doing this method a bunch of times but kept getting the "Setting to configuration 1 Setting to interface 0:0 opening device 05ac:1281... " thing on the recoveryfix. I haven't tried putting it into DFU mode during that time, so I'm going to try again soon, but I'm also wondering if it has something to do with me being on my college's internet. Any suggestions?

Also, I just tried doing it again, and now i got Error (21)???

Hi everyone. I've got stucked on RECOVERY MODE after step 8. Received error 1013 with no problems but, when i had to use TinyUmbrella FIX 43, the terminal keeps looping on "interface 0:0..." and cant get out of recovery. Anybody could help me please? I will appreciate so much. Phone was in 4.0.1. bb 01.59.00 Upgraded to 4.3.2, trying not to change de bb, using this guide. Thank you!!

Anyone could tell me if i'w have any problem upgrading my unlocked and working iPhone 4.0.1 baseband 01.59.00 using this tutorials. I've seen that there was some issues with ultrasn0w that had been fixed, but i'm a little bit afraid of beeing without service. Is there any way to backup applications? Hope anyone could help me. Thanks

Hi! i'm usin TinyUmbrella to save my SHSH, but now, sudenly, TinyUmbrella stops working! I'm a Mac user, the only way to open it it's showing it's pakages content and launching the tiny launcher. Opens but in the Log section shows me error 255, i run the Terminal commands to fix that, but TinyUmbrella wont' start... or showme the 255 error if i open it from the pakage content... any idea? thanks!

Cannot Upgrade to 4.3.1 using tiny umbrella to secure my baseband getting error 1604 on a mac i am able to downgrade to 4.1 with no problem could someone help please

What's your BB (BaseBand) and your device? You can make a custom firmware with Pwnage Tools to preserve your BB, but if you are using an unlocked iPhone (Software Unlocked) first look your BB to know if you can upgrade it!

i tried this today(4/6/11) and i read the comments and put my iphone 4 bb 2.10.04 into dfu mode and ran the fixrecovery43 and when terminal comes up at the end it says Reason: Incompatible library version: fixrecovery43 requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 5.0.0. Trace/BPT trap logout any help will be truly appreciated. thank you.

I am also getting this message. pls if u find out how to fix it let me know

I have the same problem for 4.2.1 on my new bootrom 3GS . How to fix that?

i updated my i4 to 4.3.1, after unlocking it with ultrasn0w, i can see 1 small singal bar, which i should cuz its not fixed yet. But i cant even see the name of my carrier, and hence can not make/recv calls.. and idea ?

and m on 1.59.00

Why do I lost the Facetime icon after finish with the restore to 4.3.1?

I just updated my i4 to 4.3.1 preserving baseband 1.59.00, i am on official ATT carrier but am not getting cell service, no carrier information shows up. i cannot make or recieve calls. any ideas why?

same problem. No service from my official carrier. everything else OK. Any clues please

Anyone else stuck on the terminal codes? I'm stuck here and phone stuck on plug into itunes Setting to configuration 1 Setting to interface 0:0 opening device 05ac:1281... and keeps repeating.

jup, me too

Ah, never mind. You have to put it into DFU. Just open up the batch file. The first thing the terminal window will say is to put it into DFU. So, while it is doing this "Setting to configuration 1 Setting to interface 0:0 opening device 05ac:1281... ".. Just hold the home+power button in fo 8 seconds, then release the power button.. voila!

Thanks Fish. That worked like a charm. However, now the phone needs to be set up form iTunes. If I restore from a previous backup will I lose the jailbreak?

Good stuff. Well, if you have already jailbroken your device and also synced it with the old backup I recommend using redsn0w for the jailbreak as it does not require reinstallation of the firmware like pwnagetool.

Thanks this worked! The trick is timing it just right to enter DFU mode.

same here! can't get it out of recovery mode. tried fix recovery but wasn't successful.. please post any hints here..

hey fish, thanks a lot for the hint, worked like a charm for me, too! the iphone i got is completely new and has not been activated it, so updating to 4.3.1 according to this tut was the first thing i did when i got it in my hands. could you give me a quick guid how to proceed in order to jailbreak and then unlock the thing? that would be amazing! thanks in advance!!

I need help with getting my phone out of recovery mode please. nothing happens when i open the terminal. pls help

you jsut have to time it right according to what fish wrote.. 'while it is doing this "Setting to configuration 1 Setting to interface 0:0 opening device 05ac:1281... ".. Just hold the home+power button in fo 8 seconds, then release the power button' it most definitely works, I also had to try 2 or 3 times..

this is the message the fix is giving me: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib Referenced from: /Users/shyam/Downloads/fixrecovery-osx/fixrecovery43 Reason: Incompatible library version: fixrecovery43 requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 5.0.0 Trace/BPT trap logout [Process completed] Also I have no idea what Fish is talking about... Get ne one give me details?

Hey Fish, i've felt relax when you wrote never mind, but then im still couldnt kick out of recovery mode. Im upgrading to 4.3.2 bb 01.59.00. I've got only to the error 1013 rapidly, but then, could compleate the last step. The worst thing is that i only have the shsh for the 4.3.2 fw, nor any previosly one. Can you say to me some magic words? would really apretiate sooo much. Thank you!!

Voila its work!!!!

How long the restore process is supposed to last? The progress bar in my iphone do not pass little more than half bar and iTunes progress bar is stucked near the end process.. should I unplug and retry in DFU mode?

I did everything, but I can't get it out of recovery mode. I'm in DFU and run fixrecovery43, but in terminal it keeps repeating the same three lines: opening device **ac:****... Setting to configuration 1 Setting to interface 0:0 (The * just replace the numbers that are actually there)

Also, it says I should see scrolling text on my phone when i open the recovery. I don't, it just has the connect to itunes the whole time.

Same for me. Did anyone test this?

I have solved it. I redownloaded the recovery tool and it worked. Make sure you enter DFU. If anything comes up (apple, etc.) when trying to enter DFU, then you did it wrong. It should stay a black screen until the lines, as described in the walkthrough, appear.

I keep having the same problem! I keep putting it in DFU mode, but the same lines keep showing up on the recovery fix over and over again. any more solutions/suggestions?

If you have the error in my first post, then you still are not going into DFU mode. When trying to put it in DFU mode, nothing should show up (apple logo, etc.). It took me at least 10 times to get the timing right. Timing is very important for entering DFU mode. Search for some hints about entering DFU. Eventually, you will get the timing right and you'll know it because the text will appear on the iphone screen as described in the walkthrough. I reiterate that anything besides this text means your timing is off. My timing varied only a second or two different but eventually it was right and everything went as described.

Edit Tutorial - iPhone needs to be put into DFU mode before kicking out of recovery mode!

I'M SORRY.....BUT Y DO WE NEEDTP UPGRADE TO 4.3.1 FOR??? JUST SO WE CAN BE SCREWED LATER ON....NO THANKS....IT'S USELESS!!

OK...Did this and lost my original jailbreak, I did save the shsh, but I don't know what to do now...HELP!

if you was using 4.2.1 firmware and your baseband is the 1.59.00, download the 4.2.1, restore using it - via itunes (it will still not work at this time), run pwnagetool, load the firmware you've downloaded, after it has done, restore using the file pwnagetool was created (via itunes). then install the repository of ultrasn0w to unlock. i think this could work. it worked for me.

I was on 4.1. Help?!

to all who want to try this: DON'T DO IT! it's not stable. i did it and i got stuck at "emergency call". now i did an iOS downgrade back to 4.2.1.

That's normal. It's waiting for activation.. Now you have to jailbreak your phone and install Ultrasn0w..

also, i'm getting this error at "fix recovery": libusb:error [darwin_transfer_status] transfer error: timed out

i did it, and after i run the "fix recovery" iphone boots in "emergency call". so, wtf should i do now?

Greenpoison it check tutorial last step for jailbreak

i think greenpoison does not hacktivate your phone :)

So i take it this means no unlock for newer basebands huh????

Dear Friends: I have 2 questions. 1.- it is possible now with the FW 4.3.1 released ? 2.- It is an "Untheter" solutions?

I don't get. The tutorial is to upgrade to 4.3.1 and keep the same baseband so you can keep your phone unlocked but there has not been a untethered JB released for 4.3.1 and your phone has to be jailbroken for the unlock. This doesn't make sense.

i just would like to add that, after trying jailbreak with greenpois0n, it didn't work out. but it worked using the pwnage tool 4.2. :-) thank you guys!

It's because greenpois0n is only for 4.2.1. You have to use the updated redsn0w, pwnagetool or sn0wbreeze...

This works great thanks!!! Follow directions and you can do this!

I keep on getting the 1604 error no matter what I do. I have an iphone 4 on 4.1 with baseband 1.59.00. I've tried restoring on a mac, windows machine and another mac but I keep hitting the same problem. I tried doing it both in DFU mode and recovery mode but still the dreaded 16xx error. I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you save your SHSH BLOGS, after you will want to start TSS SERVER, iTunes will close. you will have to open it again, and then restore. But make sure you save your shsh blogs with tiny umbrella. Hope This Helps.

If you obtain error you need put your iPhonein DFU with Redsnow before upgrade.

I just update my iphone 4 to iOS 4.2.1 and install ultrasn0w, but now when i try to use my data plan, iphone tell me, that i don't have any data plan in my line.... i downgrade to 4.1 and the same... what must happeng?? someone have the same problem?

My phone is now stuck on emergency logo please help on the other hand my baseband/modem firmware is still 01.59.00 and the Firmware is 4.2.1 i just need help to open my phone please someone help

Hmm sounds funny... If your stuck on emergency mode how can you tell your baseband and software version?

By Tinyumbrella it lets you know when u connect ur device to it

insert a valid simcard such as AT&T, will pass the emergency screen lock

Dont worry , u have to only use now redsnow and only chek the option install cydia,then ucan enter ur iphone , is ur sim orignal or not,, no prob ,,,

Ummm yea I think I'll pass cause I saw this Nov 25 under raymondpie.com or ray something and Nov 28 apple found a workaround for basebands to upgrade on tinyumbrella..... I think iclarified is not that resourceful no more... If you don't trust me google it 4.2.1 upgrade tinyumbrella and look for redmondpie or raymondpie.com

My iphone is stuck on Emergency call logo what to do now

i have hacktivation patch in my iphone 4 and it is work good with IOS 4.0.1 so is it work with IOS 4.2.1 too ??? pless help

Dont worry , u have to only use now redsnow and only chek the option install cydia,then ucan enter ur iphone , is ur sim orignal or not,, no prob ,,,

Hi. Just one stupid question as I'm new to this. What is the purpose of not upgrading the baseband? Pros and cons? Hpe that someone has time to clarify this to me. Thanks in advance. /jannek999

This tutorial only applies to those people who already are using an unlocked iPhone 4. For the unlock to be worked, the baseband must be at the version 1.59.00 for now, (unless the dev-team or geohot or some good fellas come up with an unlock for the current baseband version).

Thanks it didnt work - My phone did everything that you said it should do. itunes showed 1013 error then itunes opened back up and I looked at the BB on my phone and IT SAYS 2.10 THANKS

It worked fine for me, mine still on 1.59.

It worked for me too.! Thanks

You have to enter DFU mode and then run the recovery thing
