Am I forever stuck here? Unable to upgrade,no original sim. blackra1n (tethered) my messiah still. HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?
You can upgrade upto 4.3.3. Restore with a custom firmware (one that keeps your current baseband) with hackivate enable. After, install Ultrasnow through Cydia to unlock.
Create a custom firmware yourself using Pwnagetool(Mac) or Snowbreeze (windows). Or, you can google and download one from a trusted site.
Once you have the custom file, use Pwnagetool(Mac) or Rednsow (windows) to put the phone into a special DFU mode, and then, restore with the custom firmware file through iTunes.
Are you stuck at emergency screen? If yes, did you have hackivate enable when creating the custom firmware file? If pass the emergency screen, you need to install Ultrasnow to unlock the phone and allow you to use different carrier sim cards.sim card not supported. your solution fails. will now try to go back to 3 1 2.
yes stuck at emergency screen.
I did not.I've now and am waiting to report that you are a genius.Still waiting,phone is restoring from backup.Then, you didn't enable the hackivate = activate phone option.
I humbly eat these words.sim card not supported. your solution fails. will now try to go back to 3 1 2.
Am I now untethered?
