Troubleshooting:
Those receiving the 0xE800003D error: Did you install a carrier theme from Cydia? Like the AT&T logo or MakeitMine? If so remove that and try again. It seems that others before were getting that error because of this.

Means what it says, go to /Applications/Utilities/ and run the Terminal app. Then cpy paste this:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
and push enter.

easy.
 
I am doing the Mac install on a 3GS JB w/ 3.0 and after holding alt and selecting the carrier file, I receive this error:

The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (0xE800003D).

Any ideas? Thanks!

Doh
 
"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

Do I type this exactly the way it is with the space when I run the cmd? I have tried a few times and it keeps coming up as not recognized.
 
Can someone help me out. I'm trying to do this for my sisters 3g. I am a mac user and hate windows with a passion. Her computer is running crappy vista. If it was on xp i would be fine. When I click start or the home button I don't see run. I can't find the command menu anywhere. Anyone know where it is?

Found it.
 
Tried it repeatedly.. doesn’t work for me. I’m on a 3.0 jailbroken 3GS. I just keep getting the stupid red exclamation crap. :mad: :mad:
