So after adding an "untrusted" source from my jailbroken iphone, it started freezing and restarting so i had to reboot, start from scratch and i updated it with 1.1.3
Now i bought this phone within a month or so of launch...I originally jailbroke it by using the 1.1.2 method when the 1.1.2 firmware first came out, if u dont' kno what i'm talking about, i posted the guid below.
Anyway i just want to know, since i don't really like 1.1.3 all that much, can I just essentially reboot and put my phone in factory settings and follow the same guide? I have the 1.1.1. ipsw and the 1.1.2 ipsw.
I was going to wait till this whole sdk thing but i really miss my themes and 4Balls game! thanks for ur help (i did a search and didn't find a conclusive answer as to whether i can stilll use this method)
1. Download the 1.1.1 ipsw firmware file from Apple. If the downloaded file has the extension
".zip", please remove it and modify it to end up with a filename ending in _Restore.ipsw
2. Reboot your iPhone holding the top (power) and home buttons BUT release the top button 10
seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark) and continue to hold the home button until
iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start
iTunes if not started yet .
3. Restore your iPhone by pressing and holding the Shift key on windows or option key on Mac,
then click restore to select the 1.1.1 firmware file you downloaded earlier. The restore should
go through and errors at the end with error 1015. However you will notice that the iphone is in
DFU mode with the connect to itunes screen from 1.1.1.
4. In order to kick the phone out of that mode, start TouchFree by double-clicking "windows.bat"
on Windows or "jailbreak.jar" in OS X, then click the "Boot from Recovery" button.
