Hello,
Recently because I'm an idiot i upgraded to the 3.1 beta on my iphone 3gs. I then read that you need your iBEC and iBSS files handy in order to jailbreak the phone in the future. in a desperate attempt to get these, i downloaded a copy of the original 3.0 firmware and tried to restore to that.
while it was restoring i used iclarified's method (i think) by going into your /tmp folder and retrieving two folders. One is done in recovery mode and the other is done in dfu mode.
Now i have this folder called "dfu" in one of the folders i got from the /tmp directory which is supposed to contain my iBEC and iBSS. However i only see my iBEC. Am I not seeing the iBSS because i already upgraded to the 3.1 beta? if so is there anything else i can do (i haven't really tried the ECID thing, dont really understand it)
i had upgraded to 3.1 thinking it would solve my overheating problems..which it did but i still want to be able to jailbreak too
So if you guys have any suggestions that would be most appreciated.
EDIT: iclarified updated the steps using a terminal command which worked perfectly. I have both now.
