I have a 3GS on 3.1.3 BB = 5.12.***
I used Umbrella to save my shsh to my PC, then used this process to update from 3.1.3 to 4.3.5, it worked well, but iphone was stuck in recovery mode.
It suggested I use "Recovery Fix", so I did, it said it was "Done!" that my device would complete the process, 20 minutes later, it finished.
Still stuck in "Recovery Mode"
Now what do I do?
Thx in advance.

if you're saying that its stuck on recovery mode, click the lock button and home button at the same time and wait, it will be done after that

Ladies and getlement, After reading dozens of posts and tutorials I finally could update my Iphone 3gs with 5.1.1 preserving my baseband. ( I suppose I can use any firmware). After having failures with "ultrasnow" and other related software and tricks on the web, I happened to use "snowbreeze" which in the beginning (by using the basic modes) threw me i-tunes errors. However, something brilliant happened that you can also do in roder to avoid errors or your iphone stuck:
1. Create a folder on the desktop to put everything there. (Use tiny umbrella to save your blobs in the desktop which you will use shortly).
2. Download snowbreeze and run it to find the desired firmware.
3. After having downloaded the firmare run it with snow breeze with Ifaith mode.
4. Load your blobs saved (the corresponding one).
5. After creating it, save it and bear in mind it looks different from the apple-original one.
6. Open itunes and load the file you created and voila!
Note: Before doing all this process doanload idrive to back up your contacts and also do a general back up. Likewise, after installing everything, go to cydia and run ultrasnow for unlocking your phone.
Questions?

Any advices (as simple as possible please I consider myself advanced user but I don't have time to sit for hours...) Thank you!

My 3gs after updating 4.0.1 to 6.0.1 i have an issue. My phone suddenly goes off after halfway battery.
This happens when trying to use apps like FB, Camera etc .. Is it a bug in IOS6 for 3gs.
I feels like whether its has something to do with base band (05.13.04) which I didnt updated as my phone is a operator locked one.
Anyone had the same issue and fixed ??

3GS Using Ultrasn0w. The early release of this unlock tool does not support any new baseband versions, but works to unlock the following basebands:
01.59.00
04.26.08
05.11.07
05.13.01
05.12.01
06.15.00
Your baseband is not on the list so better luck next time :)

I've got the same device: 3gs , ios 6.0.1, same baseband 5.13.04 and everything works fine with ultrasnow 1.1.8? i think, the latest one. Try to reinitialise/ reset the modem settings or delete and reinstall ultrasnow from devteam source in cydia. It happened once to me that i couldn't receive SMS but i fixed it by just reinstalling Ultrasnow. Don't use both Ultrasnow and ultrasnowfixer! Good luck.

you need to have blobs for the ios you are trying to update. The method shown here automatically find your blobs either from your phone or cydia. Now, if cydia is not offering blobs anymore for the ios you are trying to update then you get the message unable to find the blobs. You then need to manually specify blobs if you have stored it earlier. You can store your blobs using Tiny Umbrella. However if cydia is no more offering blobs for the ios you are trying to update then you cant do anything.

after reading through a bunch of comments it seems like this error 2601 is pretty common.
is it coming when trying to get to ios 6.
im just trying to get to ios 5 but i need to use the gevey sim after so i need to preserve the baseband.
so if anyone can reply and tell me if this works for ios 5
any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I have done all the steps exactly the way it was shown, but on process twelve, it gave a message saying:
"COULDN'T FIND 6.0 (10A403) BLOBS FOR THIS DEVICE ON THE APPLE OR CYDIA SERVERS.
PLEASE CLICK OK TO BROWSE FOR ANY YOU MAY HAVE SAVED LOCALLY."
Then the process stops.
is there a workaround?

Should I jailbreak my phone first before doing this process, or this process will automatically jailbreak my phone from the unjailbroken state while preserving my baseband?
I've read so many articles here and there, and it's kinda mixed up in my brain making me totally confused to where should i start.
iPhone 4
iOS 5.1.1 (9B206)
BB 4.12.01
Status: Locked
Contract expiration: Dec. 30, 2012
MAIN OBJECTIVE: Unlock
(Is it right that i need to jailbreak my phone first to be able to unlock it once the unlock is available as my 1st option?
2nd option is factory unlock, which i don't have any idea yet)
THANKS!

I've entered DFU mode, but I did not see redsnow restoring my 3GS, now its not restoring and redsnow don't give the option to it. iTunes says my phone is in DFU mode, Can I ask iTunes to Restore it or not?

I have an iphone 4 GSM ( NOT4s ), i am the original owner, running cios 4.1
( jailbroken and unlocked with limera1n ) back when the phone was NEW.
Following this tutorial attempting to upgrade to ios 5.1 using redsn0w 0.9.15b3 windows, after step Eleven where the phone successfully goes into DFU mode, the program returns me to the IPSW select screen and will not create a"restore image" on its own as the tutorial suggests. The "Next" button is the only dim button. Everything else is selectable.

I should also add that I am on the actual administrator account, and when attempting to "Fetch" SHSH blobs from redsnow 0.9.15b3 it says that I am not entering into DFU mode correctly but I've done it literally 100 times the same exact way and it works perfectly every time when doing it in "RESTORE" mode.

@Thank you Joe. I used redsnow to make a custom FW and stitched with shsh blobs 5.1.1, and then restored on Itunes, but it had an error 14. I tried many time still the same.

Ive done this on a windows 7 with full Administrator access.
There's another way to preserve your Baseband..
The method I've done has been tested on my own iPhone 4 with preserved baseband 4.10.1 iOS 6

hello guys,
I have an iphone 4 ios 5.1.1(BB 01.59.00) and wanted to upgrade to ios 6 but after following the exact steps provided on this guide i get a message from redsn0w saying that "Found device in DFU mode instead or Recovery mode", isn't it weird???
Now my iphone is bricked i guess coz it won't get out of recovery mode (redsn0w recognises it when it is in Recovery mode but it says that the device should be in Pwned DFU mode to proceed with custom IPSW, so i enter to Pwned DFU mode which is also recognizable by redsn0w but nearly at the end of the process it says "Found device in DFU mode instead or Recovery mode".
Any ideas what should i do?
thnx in advance

I tried to go from ios 5.1.1 to 6.0 using redsnow 9.15b2 on iphone 4 and got the same 2601 error. I tried again and again with no success. As suggested below I used snowbreeze 2.96 to create a custom ipsw (using ifaith setting) and restored back to 5.1.1.
You can do the same to get to 5.1.1. Just use snowbreeze and Itunes (shift+restore) on custom-stitched (with shsh blogs) to get to 5.1.1
