Error 1600

[blissmonkey]

I have my phone in DFU mode so I choose my custom firmware and I get an error 1600 so now my iPhone (2G) is in DFU mode. I cant get out of it. I tried apples firmware and nothing works now I have a dead phone.

Quote from the iphone dev blog:

Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir ~/Library/iTunes/”Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.

Does it matter if I am on a mac?

keep the Home and Sleep button pressed, until the phone comes out of DFU mode.. Then read my Simple 2.0 unlock guide.

No, pwnage can only be done on a mac. Just create that folder, restart iTunes and try restoring with the custom firmware again.

Cheers

Also if your not happy using the command line you can create the folder in finder.
