THE PREAMBLE: I accidentally quiched my "Big Boss font" app? which sent my recently jailbroken iPhone 4s into a death spiral. I tried fixing it by using iExplorer to copy the "cydia_1.1.6_iphoneos-arm" and "big boss" debian packages to a folder on the iPhone (private/var/root/Cydia/AutoInstall). I was hoping after a couple of reboots that it would fix my broken Cydia, since my phone is still jailbroken. But no go. (I think you need to actually run the packages on the phone, using iFile or SSH. Neither of which I have installed on the phone yet).
THE CURRENT SITUATION: So now I am looking to restore the firmware and rejailbreak, but that's not going too well either. I downloaded the 6.0 firmware for my device (which currently has 6.0). I decided I do not want to upgrade beyond 6.0, on account of battery issues I've been hearing about - so I must avoid doing this with iTunes. I'm not sure if I need the SHSH blobs to restore the same version of firmware that is already on the phone. But I did save them way back when (a query with RedSnow says I have both 6.0 and 6.1.2 blobs on the Saurik servers). However, I don't have physical access to them, as I am out of town.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED: The latest version of RedSnow, 0.9.15b3 will not restore the downloaded 6.0 firmware; it says "unsupported IPSW". I thought the latest versions work with the 4s? iReb won't restore it either. I even tried the latest version of iReb r6, but it doesn't even appear to support the 4s. I'm fresh out of ideas, anyone??.
