Hi,
I'm currently trying to restore my iPhone 4 to ios 6.1.3, and I am currently on this OS. When I try to build a signed IPSW, I select a blob I made with TinyUmbrella, and I get this error message : "startIndex cannot be larger than length of string" And all this in more info : (see end)
I use a virtual machine (windows7) with parrallels desktop.
Help!! Thanks. :)

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi I finally managed to make the ipsw file. BUT! I tried to restore my iphone using iTunes with this file and itunes is locked in the "preparing this iphone for restore" phase and after 20 minutes it tells me than an uknown error occured (1604)!! Now I'm stuck with an iPhone asking to be connected to itunes and I can't get it to be restored! Is there a way to fix this?? I just don't want IOS 7 whatever the cost!!! :'(

Did you make sure the SHSH blob was valid?

Restarted? Is your screen completely black? It should look like that. Make sure iTunes version is 11.0.5 or older (as suggested by @aPple nErd ) and then try again

Sorry I'm late I didn't have access to internet for a while...

I tried, I updated to the last iTunes version, and it didn't work... Again, unknown error and this number : (11).

So I tried erasing the iPhone's Settings and Data from the preference panes. I honestly didn't think it would work, BUT IT DID!!!!!!!
I guess sometimes the easiest answer is the best...

Thanks to all of you, I REALLY appreciate it, you made me discover a lot of cool and useful stuff. C ya in another thread! ;)



(My problem was that I couldn't manage to get rid of 3,5gb of "others" on my iPhone. Now it's done, thanks to you all :D)
