WOW...all I can say is WOW... You did it man! You did it! That one little tick of a box, new custom firmware, turning off tiny umbrella, man you did it! I cant believe it is over!!!!! I think this was a major deal considering how far down the path my phone was. Priceless. You get my thumbs up and I encourage anyone else to give you one too!

Hey Frank, Thought I would let you know. I called apple iphone support and they claim that t isnt blacklisted and that they dont do that. So. dont know. Also, I take it that no one can 'give me' an SHSH

Thanks

Hi, can you point me in a more specific direction. You are the first person I have heard of with the same problem and a solution. I dont see the advice from •снайперов правила• you are referring to.
Thanks

Hi dh,
If you mean put it into DFU mode - then click fix recovery, it does actually communicate with the iphone, but then it hangs at the greenpois0n screen saying:
Unable to find gBdevList
Unable to fing fs_mount
Unable to find fs_unmount
Unable to find fs_load_file
Greenpois0n initialized

then it hangs there and if I restart the iphone its back into Recovery mode.

Hey Frank. Its a bit trickier than that I think. Take a look at this screen shot. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m63/ffrost3/Sc...
It acknowledges that there is a device there, but thats it!

When is it time to give up on a 3Gs

So a couple weeks back I bought an iphone 3Gs 16gig at a Customs and Police seizure auction. I put a blind bid in and won so I was both happy and nervous. Happy because I won and nervous because I didn't get to see it before the buy. When I got it home I was glad to see the screen come to life with the 'Plug into iTunes' screen so there was relief in knowing that it had some life. Now I have been out of the jailbreak and unlock scene for about a year but I imagined that I would be able to figure it out if it needed to be unlocked. See, Im here in New Zealand where all phones are unlocked, but at a police auction you never know what you are going to get.

So through quite a few hours of trial and error I have come to the conclusion that this phone must have been coked at one point. It is currently stuck in Recovery mode but through tny umbrella i managed to get a glimpse of some greenpois0n code. I have tried most of the various methods for forcing the 3GS out of Recovery mode. I have tried using iRecovery, Limera1n, Blackra1n, Redsnow, Pwnage Tools of various versions and even let over to a PC to try using iREB, Sn0wbreeze and reformatting from a iTunes in the PC. Greenp0ison is the only one that actually gets a reaction but it is fruitless.

I have come to the conclusion that this iPhone 3GS must have been unlocked using the Ipad Baseband and is currently stuck in Recovery mode with nothing but rejections from iTunes when i try and use custom firmware (or any firmware for that matter). I even tried to stop itunes from calling home and just calling locally but I didn't do that right so far and that is what I will try and do correctly next. The reality is im probably 9 hours deep total and I personally don't know when to quit. So I need some advice. Do I quite? Am I missing something? Thoughts? I am hoping that someone will say ' hey stupid you are missing this, this and this' but Im not that optimistic. Suggestions? Give Up?

Thanks

Well its the wifes phone and apparently she didnt realize that the wifi wasnt working cause she was always on edge... There is a problem with thousands of 3gs out there that the wifi just doesnt work anymore and apple is doing very little to fix it for people who bought the 3g... Anyway I am running redsnow and now that I have SSH I can try and manually install the unlock. I found some guys at rajputbrotherhood.com that claim they have a good method to the manual install of the unlock...we'll see...

Thanks dhlizard. The problem is that I dont have cydia because I can oly jailbreak with blackra1n and then I need wifi to get cydia and my wifi is smoked. There are ways to connect to the internet without wifi but there arent anyways to do it without the pwnage jailbreak because it requires SSH. Any other suggestions?

Hey Crew. Im sure this will get lost here but has anyone heard about a pwnage tool upgrade coming soon? Blackrain doesn't work for me because the wifi is smoked on my 3g... So I am now upgraded to the newest 05.11.07.
So im running 05.11.07 on a 3g and now I am locked doewn here in New Zealand...
I would manually install the unlock but without a pwnage jailbreak I cant access ssh.

Anyone hear anything?
Thanks
