I have a 3GS 6.1.3 tethered jb and I tried to downgrade 4.1 then got a several errors -1, 20, 2009, (3194 on a 4.1 stitch shsh ipsw) Tried restoring on 4.1 and 6.1.3 still have no chance.. I really need help.
 
Apple still signs 4.1 for 3GS
Download the 4.1 IPSW to desktop
Put the phone in DFU and use Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze to downgrade by navigating to the IPSW
Make sure you are running the apps as administrator in compatibility mode
Try a different cable or USB port
 
Are you sure you are getting the phone into DFU mode ?

And by the way, this is not a real time support site.
Moderators and members check in from time to time to see if they can help with issues and questions.
We do not stay on this site waiting for new questions to be posted.

Expecting a reply in 11 minutes is unrealistic :confused:
If you want instant tech support, I recommend you take your phone to a vendor who knows how to restore it.
 
oh, really? hmm. i thought they stopped signing it during the 6.0.x signing last month, then started signing it again.

If you thought they stopped then started again, why would you tell the OP they stopped signing it? Lol that doesn't make sense haha. You must be confused.

For some strange reason, Apple has been signing 4.1 for the 3GS forever now. I can't figure out why they would do that. Does anyone know why?

Noone knows exactly how or why but its very weird for sure.
They been signing 4.1 for all 3GS models for years now.
Wish they let something like that open for the 4S or iphone 5:)
 
Got my 3GS on 4.1 thanks (I didn't listen I keep on restoring on iTunes) Done downgrading using Redsnow. Now I'm trying to update to 6.1.3 can't restore I keep having error 1600 and 1601. Actually from the start I was trying to restore my iPhone to 6.1.3 then got messed up.. went to a insane DFU loop then tried downgrading to 4.1 anyway I still need help to update to 6.1.3 again. Sorry I'm really a newbie.
 
Another error.
