iPhone Really crucial question! Proffesional jaibreakers' help needed

[alexpleasehelp]

Hi! it's been a while since my last post but anyway.... i have an iphone 4 with 03.10.01 baseband (4.1.2 firmware / jailbroken) and the phone is unlocked with gevey sim.

many apps are incompatible with my ios and require ios 5.1 or greater so my ? is how can i update my iphone to 5.1 or 6.1 in order for all the apps to work???? i've had an iphone 3gs in the past and all i did was jailbreal with redsn0w but from what i've figured out so far it's not as easy as with gevey sim.... i think i have to preserve BB somehow or else i'll have a brick phone... please help me to update.....

Do you have any SHSHs Blobs saved with cydia or locally for the ipsw you wish to update to?
If yes then you can go to any ver ios you have them saved for.
Or just start now with the current ios

Use the right ipsw from here that you want to update to

Yes preserve BB "NO BASEBAND UPDATE"

Then jailbreak with the current Evasi0n

Are you sure your gevey sim is compatible with ios 6.xx ?

It maybe easier to just save the current SHSHs now, then purchase a iphone 4 factory unlock online.
Let itunes unlock your phone, then update to 6.xx & jailbreak, this way you can move away from the gevey

btw:
I am NOT a Proffesional jaibreaker
Just been doing it for years with the great tools from the dev's

Agreed with dhlizard, Sn0wbreeze maybe the better way to go. All you need to is NOT update your baseband

 

[dhlizard]

Don't know if I fit the category of "professional jailbreaker" ?

Use the newest Sn0wbreeze to do a No BB restore to 6.1.2 or to any older firmware you saved the SHSH for.
It will upgrade your firmware but preserve your baseband so you can still unlock.

Note: Redsn0w has not been fully updated for OS6 yet - it can get you safely to any 5.x.x firmware you have SHSH saved for but not to the newest firmware versions 6.1.x

If you don't have any SHSH saved, you can only go to 6.1.2 but make sure your sim interposer will work on iOS6 - many do not !

@cyber16 - you beat me by seconds

Just because you did not save the SHSHs, does not mean someone else did not.
Use redsnow or TinyUmbrella to query the cydia server, just maybe the previous owner did at one point.

You could try iFaith to see if you can pull the current 4.1.2 shsh's from the phone
Not sure if you will need them later, but it only takes a few minutes to check.

 

[alexpleasehelp]

confused....

i need shsh saved for upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1? i thought it was only for downgrade????

----------

i was googling a bit and some people said ttat it can be checked on cydia home page!

on cydia on the very top it says in green:

SHSH: IOS 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.2~b3, 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3~b2, 6.0.1, 6.1.2


does it mean anything to you?

You need shsh for whatever version of iOS you want to install because apple is only signing 6.1.2. Any other upgrade will fail. Looks like your device has shsh for every version of iOS but 5. You're SOL buddy.

ahahah oh wow! i didn't even notice it doesn't have 5XXX versions..... wow that sux..... so i guess i'm stuck with current FW forever.... do u think it's worth trying to upgrade to ios 6 or it's gonna be useless?

----------

Worst case scenario....you've got a really expensive paperweight.

 

[dhlizard]

Have you considered an IMEI unlock ?
Determine which carrier sold the phone via Model #.
If the cost to unlock with a grey market vendor is reasonable, then you can do that and never worry about firmware or baseband again.

According to various posters at gsmforum, the gevey still works on iOS 6 as long as you preserve the baseband (use the latest sn0wbreeze).

You will likely have to do the manual (dial 112 etc) method as FuriousMod was last updated for iOS 5, although again, some posters claim that Furiousmod still works on iOS 6 to automate the unlock.

I have not confirmed this myself, but you can check GSMforums for yourself...

Good luck!

well i have to dial 112 everytime i reboot or turn on the phone anyway! thanks for the good news and i'll be sure to check that out! Thanks to everyone!

 

[alexpleasehelp]

wooohooo!

success! i've successfully updated to 6.1.2 and gevey works just fine with preserved base band! the funny thing is when i first booted into jaibroken 6.1.2 ios i got full bars!gevey sim didn't request to dial 112! i tried to call to my sister and everything was fine! i decided to reboot and on my second boot up i got a msg that i have to dial 112... well everything works well! and i can install some apps that were completely incompatible with 4.1 ios....

this is what i did!
1)checked on Cydia which SHSH i had saved and then chose to install 6.1.2
2) i've downloaded official 6.1.2 Firmware and then used sn0wbreeze expert mode to make a custom firmware! (in expert mode,check hacktivate or you'll get stuck on activation screen)
2)then i used iReb to boot into PWNED DFU mode
3) then i used itunes to restore custom firmware (hold alt + restore )

specs as of now
6.1.2(10b146)
modem 03.10.01
unlocked with gevey ultra

hope it will help some1 in the future !!! Peace!@
