IPhone :: How To Fix Error 1600 When Jailbreaking 3GS?
Jun 23, 2010
I got 4.0 this morning and then tried the jailbreak, but I keep getting this error 1600 message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I need to sell the phone jailbroken tomorrow!
I have a friend's iPhone after he seemingly bricked it by using blackra1n and then wanting to unlock it so he used blacksno and then he said he got something called buetbunueter and he thinks he hit a wrong button and screwed it all up.
I started off by trying a simple restore of the iPhone as that is basically the only thing that will come up consistently. Unfortunately I get error 23 and the phone cannot be restored. I've tried 1.1.2, 3.1.2, and a custom 3.1.2 from Pwnage.
I then went into DFU mode and tried all 3 firmwares again, but this time I got error 1600. So, yet another failure.
I've tried iRecovery and that doesn't seem to help and I've tried using blackra1n again but it just seems to hang on the logo when it is supposed to be rebooting.
Anyone have any ideas or tips, I've been googling for about 2 hours and have seem way too many blogs.
Recently I jailbreak using pwnage then blackra1n/blacksn0w to unlock my iphone 3gs (3.1.2 - 05.11.07). So I decide to get one for my girlfriend same spec (3.1.2 - 05.11.07) and when I did the same process, itune gives the 1600 error during custom firmware restore. I later discovered it had a newer bootrom on this one and Untethered jailbreak (pwnage) wasn’t supported.
The iphone is currently stuck in DFU mode and unable to enter recovery mode and gives the 1600 error upon restore, I tried using new cable and switched from Mac to PC for the restore but none worked. With iREB not supporting 3gs. I am out of ideas anyone can help to restore the iphone?
I should have just used blackra1n (tethered) jailbreak and unlock it .I guess I can normal restore it to 3.1.3 and have a itouch instead if worst come to worst.In addition I have a question about blackra1n (tethered) jailbreak/unlock, I was under the assumption if I powered off I will loss the unlock, but that’s not the case on another iphone?
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.
my iphone 3gs was previously 3.1.2 firmware and i used my brother laptop that already had blackra1n installed so i used it and it looked fine then it just got bricked? it just doesnt turn on and when i plug it in computer it just says its in recovery mode and needs to be recovered.
so i thought i would just recover it to 3.1.3 but i wanted to avoid that step and go straight to 3.1.2 so that i can instantly jailbreak it correctly this time. i search around Internet and find a download for 3.1.2 firmware and i follow the steps and im supposed to do shift+and click restore on itunes and browse the download all looks swell until when it says preparing for recovery and it just comes with the (1600) error code.
Here's the deal.. I was driving today and all of a sudden my phone just stopped working.. I saw a notification saying I should restore my phone or contact apple.. My phone still powers on, I still have my custom lock screen and all but I can only make emergency calls and access SBSettings which doesn't actually work anymore. So I tried to restore the the custom firmware and itunes keeps giving me the 1600 error .. I have heard iReb can fix this but I dont even know if its compatible with the 3GS for this issue.. I have tried but its kinda confusing and hasnt exactly worked..
heres my situation...lastnight, i was in cydia downlaoding a patch for the mms tethering for tmobile. as soon as it rebooted the phone, i had the feeling the it will be stuck on the apple logo.
so i tried restoring it again with my custom 3.1.2 fw using mac. i did the option+restore and as soon as it about to restore it, it gave me the 1600 error message...
so searched this forum and went to Internet for the "1600 error". the solution i came up with is to run the redsnow 9.0...i tried running the program at first but could not get it to run properly as my phone is stuck in restore mode and could not put it in dfu mode (connect to itunes logo). i tried pressing the power and home button so many times and it eventually put me in the dfu mode (connect to itunes logo) and it completely ran the redsnow process. problem is...it still giving me the annoying "1600 error" message.
I have a 3GS, running iOS4. It has never been 'jailbroken' before.My model number is MC131B.I have iTunes 9.2.I have a MacBook Pro.Can I jailbreak my iPhone?
I forgot to, and my last backup was from july 16th, I've stupidly lost 15 days of valuable notes. So even though its so simple to just jailbreak from your safari browser, you should still connect it to your computer and back it up just in case.
i watched a Internet video on how to get siri. it seems to just be downloading an app. but i just wanted to make sure it's not jailbreaking so i don't void any waranties. the video is:[url]. does this actually work?
Just noticed this tweet via @QuickPWN "Jailbreakers: iOS 4.1 Update Is A Trap [RT!] http://bit.ly/bs0pB0".No further information on how this has been accomplished by Apple but I am certainly waiting until an official response from the dev team is released.
I know this may have been asked several times already but I would like to solicit your patience again in answering my question. I hope somebody could clearly explain to me what should I do.I have a factory unlocked 3.1.2 3GS (HongKong purchased unit) with the new bootrom that I wish to jailbreak. What are my current options? What should I do? I saved my SHSH files to Saurik's server last week using Umbrella. I would greatly appreciate anyone's enlightenment.
I recently updated my iPhone 3g and am irritated with how slow it's running as I've heard a lot of people are. I've read about downgrading to the old OS but I'm beginning to consider jailbreaking it. I only have a few questions and i was hoping someone would know:
1) I'm planning on spending 6 months in SE Asia toward the end of this year. I'd like my phone to work there if possible. I'll completely admit that I've not researched this topic enough but my general question is, can I jailbreak my phone and then enable it for use in SE Asia, if so how? 2) Would jailbreaking the phone make it more difficult in some way to enable it for use there?
Unintelligible questions I know and I apologize but I have no idea with where to start for all of it.
Does anyone have any information on when AT&T is going to let people buy tethering plans for an iPhone, and it will work without the risk of jailbreaking? I work in IT and need to be able to tether if there is an urgent need for me to get into our company's network...
i probably shouldnt say this but,okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it. so i got too excited of aving it and couldnt wait for my tmobile sim card to come one more day. so i "hactivated" it (i know this voids all warrenty) and i jailbroke it just so i could use it as an ipod.it worked and i was syched.
BUTTT.... it asked me if i wanted to update the software to 5.1 and i was like " oh yes id love to" and it started downloading it and it was inrecovery mode the whole time .when the download finished. i hit restore so i can put the software on the phone but the itunes had an error and the phone went glitchy and it does a rebooting loop. it shows the apple symbol with the slash through it for about 5 seconds and shuts off for a little bit (about another 5 seconds) and it starts up then loops the process. ive managed to turn the phone off but if i start it up it loops...Also it does not show up in my itunes because it is turning off to fast to detect.
hmm i'm using HTC Magic with firmware version 1.5and i got a SMS message thread with around 1600+ messages, but i'm not able to delete it, everytime i try deleting it the phone will not respond and i have to restart my phone
I have jailbroken many an iphone and ipod, and I have recently bought the S6. I am keen to root but it seems far more potentially troublsome, and far less straightforward.I bought this in New Zealand from Spark. I assume it is locked?Is the bootloader locked?I couldnt find the matching build on Chainfire, Can this particular model be rooted?Is there any guide to rooting? It seems all the information is spread out all over the place and no definitive guide and FAQ.I can't even find the original stock rom.Is rooting not similar to jailbreaking in the way it is done?
