Looks like you have the blobs for 6.1.2 saved and that is an untethered jailbreak.

If the iOS 6.x.x shsh blobs was saved with saurik's TSS servers they will not work

If your blobs are not valid, you cannot upgrade to 6.x, only 6.1.3. The easiest way to make sure is to have tiny umbrella pull the blobs, then verify them with redsn0w.

how can i verify my bobs with redsn0w ? .. sorry for 2 much questions .. i'm not good with iphones stuff :-s

[Laelipoo]

Download your blobs. Open the latest version of redsn0w. Go to extras->blobs->verify and point redsn0w to the files you saved.

now can i upgrade to iOS 6.1.2 and do JB and Unlock ?

[Laelipoo]

It seems ok. You should do your upgrade with sn0wbreeze in iFaith mode to preserve your unlocked baseband. Updating any other way can and probably will update your baseband, possibly ruining your chances of unlocking forever.


Do not update through iTunes.

I 100% agree with this

oook boss
i download sn0wbreeze and made the custom 6.1.2 to preserve the current baseband

now should i use redsn0w and chose " Extras >> Pwned DFU " then use iTunes to upgrade 6.1.2 using the custom iOS
or should i use redsn0w and chose " Extra >> Even More >> Restore " !! :- /

[Ramez Karam]

I 100% agree with this

thnx bro
but after making custom firmware .. how to use it to upgrade without using iTunes ?

When we say "don't use iTunes" we mean don't let iTunes download normal firmware and install it. Yes, you can use the pwned dfu mode and your custom firmware.

Ok ..
now error 1601

[Laelipoo]

That error usually means you are using a bad cable or not in pwned dfu. Also try turning off any anti-virus.

i bought my cable from Radioshack .. it's a gigaware cable and it should be a good one .. but i have another 2 cables i ll try both
and i'm sure i'm in the Pwned DFU from Redsn0w ..
already uninstalled my antivirus and disabled all security things and windows firewall
i even tried 2 other computer .. i had the same problem at one and the other 3194 error !

i tried many many times .. anything else to check ??

[Laelipoo]

3194 means the host file is pointing to Cydia, not Apple. You need to make sure the file points to apple. If you go to gs.apple.com in your browser, what do you see?

you are rite .. it took me to Cydia
how i can change that ?? :- /

[Laelipoo]

You can either use a older legacy version of tiny umbrella to switch it, or manually edit the hosts file. http://m.imore.com/daily-tip-edit-ho...pad-ipod-touch

that link is on mac .. i'm using windows 8

[Ramez Karam]

now 2 computers giving me same error " 1601 " ? :-/

[Laelipoo]

Try a different USB port? That's about the only other advice I can give you.

[acerace113]

Use a USB 2.0 port, DO NOT use a USB 3.0 port
