need of pointing iTunes to Cydia server using TinyUmbrella or HOSTS file. In this way, you can restore stock

According to iH8sn0w, he will be integrate this feature in his Sn0wbreeze tool which will then allow you to
create custom signed IPSW for your iDevice. Restoring this custom signed IPSW will not only restore
directly (w/o TinyUmbrella) but will also jailbreak your iDevice on that firmware.
Steps to Create Signed IPSW for Your iDevice Using iFaith Tool:
In this tutorial, i will be creating signed IPSW of iOS 4.2.1 for my iPhone 4. You can use the same steps to
create iOS 3.x.x and iOS 4.x.x signed IPSW for your iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G/3G, 1st-Gen iPad and
Apple TV 2G.
1. Download iFaith tool for Windows from here (Mac version to drop soon)
2. Launch iFaith tool. If you still haven't saved .iFaith file, first select Show Available SHSH Caches
on Server option to save the SHSH blob file locally on your hard-disk drive.
NOTE: Selecting Show Available SHSH Caches on Server option will only allow you to save all
those SHSH cache files which are hosted on Saurik server. If you EVER restored a stock or custom
IPSW of any firmware on your iDevice and forgot to save SHSH blobs using TinyUmbrella, you can still

those SHSH cache files which are hosted on Saurik server. If you EVER restored a stock or custom
IPSW of any firmware on your iDevice and forgot to save SHSH blobs using TinyUmbrella, you can still
save using iFaith Dump SHSH Blobs option.
The iFaith file will be saved in the following format:
Format: ECID_iOS Version (Build Number)_cache.ifaith

Example: 00000099BE1C4377_4.2.1 (8C148)_cache.ifaith
3. Click on the Main Menu button and select Build *signed* IPSW w/ Blobs option. Click on Browse
for SHSH Blobs cache and select the .iFaith file you downloaded in previous step.

4. As i will be creating iOS 4.2.1 signed IPSW, so i must point iFaith to iOS 4.2.1 stock IPSW. If you are
creating signed IPSW of any other firmware, please choose the stock IPSW file respective to the
SHSH blobs you saved in step 2.
Page 3 / 35
5. Now wait while iFaith verify and cook signed IPSW for your iDevice. Whole process takes 5-10 mins
max.
6. Once done, use the following instructions to put your iDevice in DFU mode:
Connect your iDevice to your PC via USB cable.
Turn OFF your iDevice completely by pressing the Power button.
Hold down the Home+Power button for exactly 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, release the
Power button but keep holding the Home button until Sn0wbreeze detects your iDevice in DFU
mode.
Page 4 / 35
7. As soon as iFaith will detect your iDevice in DFU mode, it will put it in Pwned DFU Mode by patching
the iBoot of your iDevice with Limera1n exploit. This will bypass all 16xx iTunes errors (1600, 1601,
1602, 1603 & 1604) during the restore of custom IPSW through iTunes.
8. Once you see the confirmation message above, launch iTunes select your iDevice name from the sidepanel. Now you will see two buttons i-e Check for Update and Restore. Hold down the SHIFT key on
keyboard and click on Restore button. Choose the signed IPSW from your desktop and leave the rest
on iTunes.

I recently upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to 5.1 as there was a notification on iTunes that I
should download and update it. I did and then once it tried to activate, it showed on
iTunes that

Then I found a discussion on apple.com about this problem. There are a lot of people
facing the same problem and Apple is aware of this! My friend suggested I should try to
downgrade to previous version. I tried to downgrade to 5.0.1 first but it still showed the

Hi,
Are you relying on an unlock? Perhaps Ultrasn0w or Gevey SIM?
Updating your iOS via iTunes will also update your baseband, which will cause you
to lose your unlock (Apple makes sure of that). Sadly, downgrading your iOS
firmwarewontdowngradeyourbaseband.

However I was hoping to restore to the 4.3.5 I backed up before downgrading. When I
try to do this, I get error 1394 from iTunes. Do I need to create a signed ipsw for 4.3.5
somehow? I tried to browse to it from iFaith, but it seems to require the 4.2.1 build.

This worked!! Thank you so much. I used tinyumbrella to back up my shsh and then do
the fix recovery option. I then used ifaith to select the tinyumbrella shsh file. I had 4.2.1
installed but it found a 4.1 shsh. I let ifaith download 4.1, patch it, then used the itunes
shift + recover and voila the 3194 error was no more!!! I originally used redsn0w RC16
tethered on my iphone and realized that tethered really sucks. When my phone powered

First of all, great guide and thank you for taking the time to write this.
So just to make sure I understand this, basically as long as you create a signed firmware
using your saved SHSH Blobs, then you can bypass downgrade/restoring using
TinyUmbrella and can instead just restore straight away in iTunes right?

And why its showing only 4.3.5 SHSH in Cydia and showing only 4.2.1 SHSH in ifaith

Reply
They both are on 2 different servers. You saved your 4.2.1 manually via iFaith &
4.3.5 was probably auto-saved by Cydia itself while it was still being signed by
Apple.

Hi pramod..
my problem is that in Cydia i can see only 4.3.5 SHSH blobs.. but in ifaith it shows only
4.2.1 SHSH on server..
i currently have ios 4.2.1 and i want to upgrade it to 4.3.3 , is it possible?
Should i directly restore stock 4.3.3 ? is apple still signing it ? or there is some other
procedure?

Nope, its absolutely not possible to restore to an iOS for which you do not have an

You will be able to downgrade only to iOS 4.3.5 because w/o an SHSH saved, you
cannot downgrade to that particular iOS for example 4.3.3 in your case.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about it. Your BB chip is damaged.
Its a hardware issue with the baseband chip of your iPhone. Neither iTunes nor the
device itself will be able to gather any info from the BB chip of your device due to a
missingIMEI/MACAddress.Yourchipwillnolongerfunction&youllloosethe
functionality of your BT, Wi-Fi & the ability to make calls as well. If your still under
warranty, make sure you take it to the local Apple Store ASAP.

First off, you need to have the SHSH already saved for iOS 4.3.3 on Cydia / TU.
Open up TU, set it to these Settings http://bit.ly/qqFuve & quit it. Retry the restore &
if it errors out again at 3194, you do not have iOS 4.3.3 as a restore option.

You need not / should not use the TSS Servers or even TU whilst restoring to a
custom iFaith IPSW. Quit out of TU & remove the gs.apple.com line from your hosts
file (if any), reboot & then redo the restore from iTunes.

Have you put your device into a pwned DFU mode? Also, make sure that you have

None of the tethered JB have an SHSH. Therefore, there is no point in using iFaith
to save any. The same way, you have restored your device to iOS 4.3.3 w/o having
any SHSH saved either via Cydia / TU. If you have no SHSH blobs saved for your
device then restoring to iOS 4.3.5 is your only way out. Using TU to force install
your iOS will never help. Read this http://bit.ly/oKCpYX & verify the availability of
SHSH for your device.

Obviously SIM swap defines it all. Using multiple SIMs does indeed mean a factory
unlocked iPhone right? Why the need to create a separate utility or run tests for it?
Judging by your model number, your iPhone is meant to be sold in the US, therefore
as I had mentioned earlier, it is definitely locked to AT&T if your SIMs did not work
after hooking it onto iTunes as well.

Oh well see that. Its not always possible to determine the carrier to which your
iPhone was locked to just from the model number. In your case, its a refurbished
iPhone. But if what your saying is true that Canada sell unlocked iPhones, so
should be yours. But your current model number (LL) says a different story. To
confirm, try 2 different carrier SIMs on this particular model & connect it to iTunes. If
both the carriers get detected successfully by your iPhone, you should be out of the
Emergency Call screen in no time. Make sure that your hooked to iTunes at the
same time.

Hi Pramod,
Another question if I may. Are you able to tell whether an iP4 is carrier unlocked?

It is because you do not have any SHSH saved for iOS 4.3.3. iFaith would work only
if you actually were running a working iOS 4.3.3 on your device. Without an SHSH,
there is absolutely no way for you to downgrade at all. All what you can do right now

Hello Pramod, I have a question

I bought an iPod 4G and before using any of the jailbraking programs, it was accidentally
upgraded to the iOS 4.3.5
I`ve tried to restore it to version 4.3.3 or any of the previous, but I always got the error
20 when using TiniUmbrella.
Then I read your page (which is great btw) and heard about iFaith and SHSH, so I tried
looking for the SHSH blob, but its niether in Apple, nor Cydia, nor iFaith (when searching
it gives me the: Not SHSH available), is there any way to downgrade my iPod 4g 4.3.5
version to 4.3.3 or any of the previous one without having the respective SHSH blob?

Hey Pramod,
Have enjoyed reading this thread, excellent work!
As an OS version of iFaith does not yet exist, would I be able to use VM Fusion as a
windows XP virtual machine to dump 4.3.3 (current ios on device) blob and then use that
iFaith file in the future for a custom ipsw?
IdontwanttoinstalliTunesonthewindowsVMsoIguessImaskingwillanyofthe

10.7 desktop? In other words, use the Mac to roll a custom ipsw with the .ifaith blob
Cheers,

Reply
No, it will not because of the way in which iFaith uses the low level USB drivers,
using a VM to run iFaith will do no good. Use an actual PC for that.
For the second part of your query, the answer is NO, thought you can still use the
TU saved SHSH blobs to create signed IPSWs using iFaith.

iFaith can save your SHSH blobs only if you were on that iOS version to begin with.
ItdoesntsupportiOS4.3.4or4.3.5either&franklyspeaking,thereisntanypoint
in saving them either because they are still on a tethered JB. Your SHSH blobs
show up in iFaith only if you had used it previously to save one. Meanwhile, first
confirm if you have an SHSH blob saved either on Cydia (http://bit.ly/p07pX2) or by
using TU (http://bit.ly/n8Kkb1 with these settings http://bit.ly/qqFuve set) for iOS
4.3.3 or any lower version. Jailbreak iOS 4.3.4 if necessary.

Scanning for iBSS is because of how Microsoft manages USB connect/disconnects.

If its your first time entering DFU after an iTunes update, windows needs to initalize
the driver. Doing so requires you to re-do iFaith since when it gets connected,
iFaith sees it & attempts to upload but windows disconnects it until it initalizes the
driver. Its basic common sense issue & iFaith (v1.3.1) works sweet only if you have
the drivers initialized first.

You need not be on the iOS version if you want to save an SHSH blob for that

where the iphone would be stuck in recovery mode[itunes logo] i decided to restore
phone to 4.3.5 and then try and downgrade.
trying to downgrade and following instructions on the net i always encounter 3194
problem. if my shsh blobs on my computer[using ifaith] and not cydia servers how do i
bypass apple servers in order to restore.
sincerely would appreciate your help- have spent 3 days/nights reading on the net about
this.

You can very well jailbreak & even unlock your iP4, but you need to keep in mind to
never update your iP4 with the stock IPSW from iTunes. Always use the custom
IPSW cooked by either Sn0wBreeze/PwnageTool if you ever want to restore/update.
You can very well go ahead & use iFaith to save your SHSH blobs on your iP4 first
& then use Limera1n for your jailbreak & Ultrasn0w for your unlock.

Recreate the IPSW using PwnageTool instead of SnowBreeze & use that for the

Since you already have the SHSH blobs stored for on iFaith, use the latest version
that came out today to create an IPSW file for yourselves & try the restore once

Also, it seems like you have already tried doing a restore. By doing this, you have
wiped the existing iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blob that you could have saved using iFaith.
Saving your SHSH blobs allows you to restore your iDevice to a lower firmware
versions you are currently running. Meaning if you saved your SHSH blobs for iOS
4.3.3, but accidentally update to the iOS 4.3.4 firmware, you could easily
downgrade back to the iOS 4.3.3 firmware.
On the contrary, do you rely on an unlock?

You need to first make sure that if Cydia has an SHSH blob saved for your iDevice

A tethered custom IPSW is always available, provided you know what happens if its
an untethered one. Also if he has run Cydia atleast once on his device, his SHSH
will be saved by Cydia. Give the custom restore a try.

Do you have your SHSH blobs saved? If so, follow it up with a custom IPSW of iOS
4.3.3 restore. Use Sn0wBreeze 2.7.3 to create one for yourself. Follow this guide:

The IPSW that you have just created is probably corrupt. Build another custom
IPSW using iFaith & restore to that. Make sure that you using the latest 1.1 version
of the same as well.

Hi Pramod,

I did not have any problem understanding how to jail break, however when it comes
restoring procedure I am totally lost. What is SHSH?
When trying to restore your iphone, you will need ipsw file like

itunes by holding down the shift key when you click restore button? and simply locate the

Is SHSH acting like a serial number when installing windows os?

for a restore to initiate & complete.
You do not have 4.3.2 because you were never on that iOS previously to
save it in the first place via Cydia. You have 4.3.3 because Apple still
signs them being the latest one.

Here it is, wow

As u said, I got it restored with the same IPSW in another PC where
the IPhone was got registered. It gave same error. Then I repeated
restoring without sync for apps. and it went perfect. Had u been here
buddy, in my country in Pakistan I wud have called u first. So
conclusion is that Itune was not working perfectly or some app is
conflicting or some virus.
Now lets come to next issue. Few month ago I accidentally got
updated my 3gs with 4.3.2. It was jailbroken set so ultimately I had to
resolve to iOS 4.3.3 (8j2) with 06.15.00 modem firmware. Now, GPS

Hi Wolverine
Would u pls help me. My 4G goes on restarting whenever call is made (as apple insignia
starts displaying till normal screen glows). I have changed the SIM but no difference. My
other question is how can I know the set is company unlocked or jailbroken. The data
info is :- ios(4.3.1 (8g4))and modem 04.10.01.
Regards
