So while the 3.1.3ipsw is cooking... any input on this would be appreciated:
In another (redundant) thread, we began discussing this patch. It appears to install the spirit2pwn patch instead of me having to ssh/ sftp into the phone to do it myself. If that's true (and I have no reason to doubt it is) where does anon think I should begin in the process.
Do we think that this patch has also installed the necessary portions of the cooked 3.1.3ipsw?
hmmmm.
any input would be appreciated.
and heres the link to the referenced article discussing the referenced patch:
Spirit2Pwn: Hack Allows Users To Update And Jailbreak iPhone 3GS With iOS 4, Which Is Already Jailbroken Using Spirit - iPhone Hacks
The patch doesnt install parts of a cooked ipsw.
It changes the firmware to NOR and replaces the logos that pwnage and snowbreeze do when using it
Now, for where to start on it...
The cydia part just eliminates step 13 thru 16 and makes that part automated.
Still have to do step 2, but step 3 can be skipped since its in cydia.
Have you verified your bootrom? (old or new)
I followd the instructions in the link in the first post of this thread exactly. 1st try had errors on final step (putting it on the phone) because i was using snowbreeze 1.6.1 but when i used 1.6.2 it worked perfect.
I restored to 3.1.3 (i have shsh saved)
I jb with spirit
Cooked the 3.1.3 ipsw, changed it to .zip and extracted it
Copied the folders it wanted to the phone
Followed the instructions exactly as they are posted (used mobile t erminal on the phone for the chmod steps)
cooked 4.0 with snowbreeze 1.6.2
Opened itunes
Plugged phone in nrmaly like i was going to sync (NOT RECOVERY OR DFU)
Shift clicked restore
Pointed to my cooked 4.0 ipsw
Happy man on 4.0 jailbroken.
Check your bootrom tho. If its the old one, it'll take time, but type out what you are doing step by step sort of like i just did and i'll help ya get it sorted
