IPhone :: Does Bootrom Get Updated If Phone Is Upgraded Through ITunes?
Jul 29, 2010
I sold my 3GS to someone, unlocked with Ultrasn0w, I told them not to update the phone and what do you know, they update it.Does the bootrom get update if the phone is update through iTunes? Or in other words what I am trying to find out if there is a way for me to put back the IPSW with 4.0 (w/ Cydia) back on the phone?
hi guys, i am dieing for an untethered jailbreak, and i was just wondering if i can replace my iphone 3gs's bootrom with the one in my ipod touch. are they the same size and shape? are they compatible? this information would be very much appreciated. i am probably not going to do it cuz i dont want to void the warranty or screw anything up...so its just for educational purposes. thanks in advance?
I tried to update iphone 4 to the 5.1 version. After installing on computer, connected to update phone. Phone will not come back on, showing itunes logo and usb cable.
i downloaded an upgrade from itunes last night to os5.1 i think. it said there was a problem with the download. now my phone will not work at all. it just has a picture of the itunes logo ans a picture of a usb cable on it. my computer will not recognise phone either
I cannot get my I phone to be updated thru I Tunes anylonger. Since the updaete for I tunes. it gives me this message. This I phone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
I upgraded my itunes to 10.6 but now neither my ipod or iphone 4s will sync with itunes. My computer recognizes each as a camera. I have tried resetting them both but nothing.
I have T-mobile for the next year at least. Got a really good condition iphone 3gs with new bootrom and ios4. So I can't use it at the moment cause its not unlockable. What are the chances an unlocking process will be developed in the next month or two? Did Apple put a stop to unlocking with the latest setup for good? My options are just re-sell this one and try to get a decent shape 3g that is unlockable or wait and hope an unlock process becomes available. I really would like to keep this thing, its like brand new condition.
Looks like the jailbreak matrix was updated and now it shows that ultrasnow can now unlock the new bootrom on the 3GS. Anyone try it out yet. I just purchased one with a new boot rom and needed to unlock it and was wandering if anyone can confirm its working.
I have received a brand new 3gs from apple yesterday, and it does in fact have the new bootrom and of course it came pre loaded with the 3.1.3 software , I have been reading all over that you can jailbreak but it is tethered, and then I have also heard that you can not jailbreak So I am confused.. Can I, or Can I NOT jailbreak?
I updated my iphone to the latest software tonight, but now I can't sync my phone to itunes. It gets stuck at the first step and then it just errors. I reset my device in an attempt to fix, but unfortunately it didn't fix it. At least I had all my music, apps and movies before, now I literally just have a blank phone that wont sync.
I needed to update my Iphone 3GS so to do this I needed to have the latest version of itunes. Before I updated itunes it could recognise that my iphone had been connected to the USB. Now it has been updated it doesnt recognise it and that means I cant update it or find it on itunes.
i purchased a new 3gs phone recently without contract but locked to a provider. it already jailbreak it with blackra1n rc3 and possible unlock it with sn0w (i have to test with different provider sim to see if it's unlocked yet?)though i know i have a tethered jailbroken iphone (need to hook up to computer after a reboot) it works fine with wifi and gps but no Internet atm
my phone spec: 3gs 16g version 3.1.2 (7d11) model: mc131c
i realize that this is not my phone and i want to return the phone the apple store to get a full refund (still 14 day of purchase period)? how do i restore to its factory settings without any jailbreak bread-crumbs?
I have a VERY new iPhone. I was wondering what hacks are available to me at this point in the hacking community. I have tried countless times and nearly bricked my phone half a dozen times now. Thank god for DFU mode. Anyway, I would love to jailbreak it (no need to unlock) but what I'm really after is tethering. Nothing works on 3.1.3 unless it's jailbroken and i cannot do that, or so links from google tell me. My phone is pwning me. Please tell me if I've lost the battle or there's still hope for me yet? Best to email me if you have something insightful, or post it here if you are ok with me not getting it for a while. SergioFerns@gmail.com.
I updated itunes to the version 10. whatever then updated my jailbroken iphone 3Gs to IOS 5 that i use for T mobile and i followed all the steps it gave me and now it doesnt read my SIM card or anything!!
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.2.1 but when I connect to my computer to sync Outlook it says the iPhone needs iTunes 11.1 - didn't iTunes update when I upgraded the iOS?
i need to update my apps but it wont let me log in. my email address and password are correct as i can log into itunes through the computer it just wont let me through my phone?Â
also it keeps asking me to enter my outlook passoword and telling me it is incorrect but again when i sign in on the computer the same information i enter lets me sign inÂ
I have an IPhone 4 which I am trying to restore back to factory settings via iTunes. Every time I try to follow the restore process of itunes, it tries to install IOS 7.1.2 and shows it as needing 3 hours. The thing is that my phone shows as software updated and 7.1.2 and if I hit the 'check for updates' on iTunes it also shows as being updated and on 7.1.2. I have done the full reboot of the phone and restarted itunes (red) ....
Have iphone on 3.1.3 spirit jailbreak - used the spirit2pwn method via cydia and did a reboot after installing that patch.created custom ispw via snowbreeze 1.6.1 tried to restore but gets half way and i get an "error 1600" on itunes used "run as administrator" on snowbreeze.
im running vista (unfortunately) only thing i can think of is that 3.5 netframework didnt install but snowbreeze ran fine and i am assuming i already have 3.5 hence why it didnt install properly.So whats error 1600 whats the work around?iphone is in DFU mode still and wont be taking it out of it until i know what to do next.
I bought my iphone 2nd hand off trade me (similar to ebay). I now have a sneaking suspicion that it was bought overseas and now it has locked? It has come up with cannot read sim card, and cannot be activated.
Did the most recent update to my iphone 5 and it went through to whole update process, but afterwards my screen displayed a connect to itunes symbol. And my home computer is down so i cant use that to connect to itunes.
My phone was activated and unlocked. I had to run it on blackra1n everytime I connected my phone to the computer. But it was fine. I was able to use an unregistered sim without a data plan. And then I accidentally upgraded.
I’ve tried restoring it with various custom IPSW files from different programs (I’ve even tried 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and IOS 4) but my phone refuses to restore or restore unlocked. It still keeps asking for a valid sim. Sometimes, iTunes tells me that the “device isn’t eligible for the requested build”. I can’t use redsn0w because no matter what IPSW I try to use with it, it cannot be recognized. Sn0wbreeze did not work either. I’ve tried on both a MAC and a PC.According to forecast, my phone can be jailbroken but not unlocked. Bootloader is 6.4.
I recently updated itunes, and iphoto and iphone and now the iphone will not connect to iphoto to download pictures. IPhone will connect to flash card thru usb port. I also have photo streaming on but that is not working also. I also have noticed that in Itunes I cannot sync to iphone. I have tried everything except resetting phone.
I am so tired of Apple screwing up my iPhone either with iOS or iTunes updates. This time I updated iTunes to 10.6.1, synced my iPhone, then I got a call and I notice that the ringtone wasn't the one I had set up as the default. I started checking and all my ringtones and music playlists were gone.

Upgraded to iOS5.1 and where my phone said 3G it now says 4G (At&t phone).. Why do this if apparently the current 4S models are not capable of 4G technology?
