Okay, I have the new pwnage tool (2.2.1) and have made the custom IPW to preserve the baseband.

Everytime I try to do the custom restore I get error code 1600-unknown error.

Any suggestions? :confused:

I have done this with every version since 2.0 and have not seen this message.
 
I was havin this problem as well. I was ready to beat my head and or iPhone into the wall in frustration, I was doing everything right, full DFU, pwned successfully previous versions in DFU. I eventually got the bright idea to try plain old restore mode just for kicks and whadda ya know, it worked! If you were pwnd before appearantly you don't need DFU just restore so try that and post results.
 
Everytime I get this error, I power my iPhone down, hold down the Home button, and then plug in the USB cable until the phone gives me the "Connect to iTunes" logo. Don't let go of the home button until you see that screen. At this point, I do my restore using my custom ipsw and all is good.

So, try it out.

Error 1600 or any derivation of that number like 1601, 1602... 160x is just an error that happened because of USB connection problems or because iTunes couldn't communicate well with the phone.

To solve this, just use another USB in your computer. If that doesn't help, reboot your computer and try again.

There are three modes in which you can restore your iPhone. You should try each of them in order until one of them works, DFU last.

1. Regular mode: Just plug your phone in, select restore.

2. Recovery Mode: With phone off, press and hold the home button while you plug your phone in. Continue holding the home button until iTunes detects an iPhone in recovery mode. Restore as above.

3. DFU Mode: With phone off and connected to a computer, press and hold down the Power button for 3 seconds; then, without releasing the power button, press and hold the Home button for 10 seconds; then, without releasing the home button, release the power button. Continue to hold the home button until iTunes detects an iPhone in recovery mode. Restore as above.
 
when i do the restore from itunes, i keep getting the unknown error 1602

i tried changing the usb ports, but that did not work,

and trying the recovery mode and the dfu mode, the itunes never did detect the device. i kept getting to the screen where the usb is shown to be inserted towards the itunes sign.

If you had the USB plug and iTunes logo, you were not in DFU mode. When your phone is in DFU mode, the screen will be completely black. Follow the instructions here.
