Help on frozen iphone 3.1.3...want to restore

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

well where to start. was the phone already jailbroke and who did it..
sounds like the wrong firmware pack was loaded..
you will have to put the phone in a DFU mode and reinstall the os

I tried to help you. Please help me and Rate/Vote on my response, thanks and good luck

the iphone is solely locked to the att network and it appears that when you got your iphone at alower ios like 3.1.3 it was unlocked and jail broken, but now that you've updated you broke the unlock, thats what every update does, the good new is that currently there is a jailbreak out for the new software which you know already because you did it. the bad news is that there isn't a unlock for the 4.1.2 ios as yet, if this is you only phone my friend sorry to say but you screwed the pooch but if you have another phone that you can you for a couple of days/weeks then your ok.

hi,
basicly you need to do a software restore or update on your Iphone. When using Itunes 8.2 you can just select your Iphone and in the summary select either restore or update. I would recommend that you update it seeing that the software version 3 does allow mms

try to install the ultrasn0w application with the cydia installer of course.

try to update firmware as follows and jailbroke through redsn0w.....
Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.

Hi,
Here u can follow the steps

Step 1: Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes if you haven’t already. Download iTunes 8.2 from the link given below.
Step 2: Now connect your iPhone with your PC. You must connect it to a single usb port on the backside of your computer. Do not use any usb hub or the ports in the front as this could cause an error during update process.
Step 3: Start iTunes 8.2. Sync your iPhone with your PC so that iTunes backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.
Step 4: You will now have to download a custom cooked firmware for your iPhone version (2G or 3G). I can’t post the download links for these files for the reasons you all know very well. Just Google “iPhone 2G Custom 3.0” (If you are using iPhone 2G) or “iPhone 3G Custom 3.0” (If you are using iPhone 3G) and use one of the torrent links to download the custom created .ipsw file.
Step 5: Once you have downloaded the required .ipsw file, Copy/Paste it into this location:
“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\” (Windows 7)
“C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\” (Windows Vista)
“C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Update\” (Windows XP)
Step 6: Restart iTunes. You will now be prompted to install this firmware you just download. Just close this prompt dialog by clicking on “x” from the top right-most corner of the window.

Step 7: Now you will have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 3.0 that you just downloaded. Click on your phone from the sidebar in iTunes to get to this screen as shown in the screenshot below:

Now press and hold left “Shift” button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update) button in the iTunes and then release the “Shift” button.

This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your downloaded custom firmware 3.0. Select the downloaded .ipsw file and click on “Open”.
Step 8: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps some of which are highlighted below:

Don’t do anything silly at this point. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 3.0 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 2G. iPhone 3G on the hand will only be jailbroken, not unlocked. iPhone 3G users will have to wait for Dev-Team to release ultrasn0w on Cydia in order to unlock their phones.
Step 9: Once you are done with the unlocking and jailbreak process. You can now restore all your settings, apps, music, contacts and photos to the newly installed firmware version 3.0 by restoring the backup that you made in Step 3 from iTunes.

Feel free to ask me any question here should you run into any problem during the update process.

You need a program like iphonebrowser or ssh with winscp.


Go to /private/var/lib/apt/lists
and delete all the files in /root/private/var/lib/apt/lists/ except for the partial subfolder. Do not delete Partial folder. Reboot phone and restart cydia and it should work just fine.

Try browsing this site. Use the forums. Also, post more info on what exactly was done to your phone. Include version numbers.

if you are trying to upgrade to 3.0 you can not unlock a 3g under 3.0 firmware.
