i have trouble upgrading my 5.1.1 iphone to 6.1.2

i have the 6.1.2 ipsw, i hold alt and click to restore but error keep spriting up

im aware of changing the host file with a # infront of the gs.apple.com, however my host file does not have the gs.apple.com with the ip address

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost


my host file currently looks like this.

i really need help, nothing seem to work through 4 hours of google search and methods
im using mac os x


kind regards
thanks

Come on man, unless you really don't know how to use the internet, that's not right.

You can't update to 6.1.2.
 
ohh i cant?
so how can i get untethered jailbreak, they only have it for 6.0-6.1.2

You can ONLY update to iOS 6.1.3

so right now i can only upgrade to 6.1.3 and hope for jailbreak to come in the near future?

Apple stopped signing 6.1.2. 6.1.3 broke the jailbreak. No signing, no updating. It is highly unlikely that there will be another jailbreak until iOS 7 is released and even that is iffy.
 
Did i mis when the OP said what iphone he has?
If anything that has an a5 or higher CPU, then you are out of luck
If a A4 or lower, there is still hope, maybe depending on what you may have or cydia has for SHSHs

Unless this was his indication of having an iphone 5

Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the way how cydia auto cached the shsh blobs so restoring to an unsigned version may put your phone into a (¿soft?) DFU boot loop. Only shsh blobs obtained through redsn0w were complete and usable
 
Guys, if you don't know exactly what you are talking about please don't try to 'help' people.

IP4 and 3GS can be restored to 6.1.2 if you have good blobs, if using blobs save automatically from Cydia that might not work but if you saved the blobs manually with TU, redsn0w or iFaith you CAN restore to 6.1.2.

@OP
What device you have?
Do you have blobs/SHSH for 61.2?
 
Whoa! So many posts and no one evens knows what device the dude is working with! Haha classic!

If he has an A4 device he might be able to install 6.1.2....

Edit: Whoops, I see TriJet is on it. That's what I get for not refreshing the forum before posting. Good catch Hero!

I think the op was lead in the right direction just under two hours after his post
Indeed he never did say what ip he had, hence why i asked and then covered both,<A4 and A5 > CPUs

And this does not mean ALL SHSH blobs that are stored on cydia servers are bad, many of users also used redsnow or other means to submit them to cydia.
