Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 6:09pm On Jan 06, 2013
At the moment, Apple is current signing iOS 4.1 and iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 3Gs. Also there's no untethered jailbreak on iOS 6.0.1 except for iPhone 3Gs users with Old bootrom. Therefore;

iPhone 3Gs users with factory Locked and old bootrom can upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 with the help of sn0wbreeze and unlock their iPhone with "ultras0w" and "iOS 6 untrasn0w fixer"

iPhone 3Gs users with factory unlocked and old/new bootrom can upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 But make sure your iPhone baseband (Modem firmware) isn't 06.15.00 (iPad baseband). If it's on 06.15.00, you need to downgrade it with Redsn0w.

DON'T UPGRADE YOUR 3GS BASEBAND IF YOUR 3GS IS PART OF D NEWLY RELEASED MODELS!!! THE 3GS WILL BE PERMANENTLY BRICKED.
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 6:27pm On Jan 06, 2013
iPhone 3Gs users with factory Locked and New bootrom and still want to upgrade to iOS 6 by all means maybe because many apps require higher iOS version, can upgrade to iOS 6 with the help of sn0wbreeze and unlock their iPhone with "ultras0w" and "iOS 6 untrasn0w fixer"

Note: You will have to deal with "tethered jailbreak."

You may be like what's tethered jailbreak:

Tethered means being basically "attached" to your computer in a way; you must boot your device by running code on it (via the dock connector) to make use of an exploit. Devices are tethered because there is one or more area where the device fails one or more signature check along the way due to the jailbreak. The device is able to boot up because there is a way to execute code via USB that allows you to bootstrap to a pwned (no signature check) iBSS, iBEC, or iBoot to finish the boot process. To boot tethered, you need to use the software which you used to jailbreak and click "boot tethered"

sun_temi:

It's not that hard but since you are upgrading an iPhone 3GS. It's possible your iPhone isn't factory unlocked and also comes with new bootrom.

First, you need to know if it's factory unlocked because if it's not and also comes with a new bootrom, you may find using it hard as theres no untethered jailbreak on iOS 6.

This is what you need to do. Drop your imei number so we can check if your iPhone is factory unlocked or rely on software (Ultrasn0w) for unlock

Did you save the SHSH blob for 5.1.1? If you did, you can restore using 5.1.1 and be able to jailbreak. But if you didn't, then you will have to update to 6.0.1 which is without a jailbreak for now...

Anywayz, as regards the error, use Tiny Umbrella to by-pass that error (3194)..
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by Suntemi(m): 5:45am On Jan 07, 2013
Heatblast, since you had your iPad 2 jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1, there's possibility your 5.1.1 shsh is saved.

So just follow this guide; you need latest Redsn0w and iOS 5.1.1 firmware for your iPad 2.

Good luck.

1. Use may use Snowbreeze to create custom firmware for iOS 5.1.1, then use iReb to put the phone on DFU mode.

OR

2. Follow instruction on 6.15 downgrade, then install 5.1.1 with your iTunes host pointing to Cydia. You got to reflash 6.15 baseband to install ultrasnow for unlock.

If you don't mind, why not find out what it will take to Permanently Unlock the phone and safe yourself all the sweat in the future iOS update, u can then downgrade the 6.15 baseband, and start updating your device without hassle.

Why would you want to upgrade to 5.1 when you can upgrade to 5.1.1? Although, upgrading to either of them would require their SHSH blob as apple is no longer signing them... Besides, even if you have the SHSH for 5.1, why not upgrade to 6.0.1 cus 5.1 is tethered jailbreak, same as 6.0.1 for now. With your baseband number, it shows your device is an iPhone 4, and iPhone 4 has a tethered jailbreak on iOS 6.0.1...
Re: iPhone Software & Hardware Problems And Solution. by downwater: 2:51pm On Jan 08, 2013
Thank you for the response but I was made to understand that the phone won't have network when I upgrade it. How true is that? I don't know if it is factory unlocked cuz it uses a gevey sim. [qote author=dmcdad]

For the fact that it usess a gevey sim, it's not factory unlocked. Sure, you will have network, as long as you dont upgrade your baseband. If you fail to preserve your baseband before upgrading, then you are on your own as your baseband would be updated and you won't be able to use your gevey anymore unless maybe you factory unlock it.

So, you can upgrade. Beside, do you have the SHSH for 5.1 or 5.1.1?

I tried using tiny umbrella, after hours upon hours of googling to fix problems (like tiny umbrella refusing to open and unable to start tss server)
I finally got the tss server runing on TU... I then proceeded to do the shift restore on itunes, it was able to bypass the verification stage, now its giving me a new error (2005)
