BREAK IT

Sunday, April 25, 2010

The Loophole guide here: How to downgrade and then jailbreak!!!!

As I said, I was going to post a guide so here it is:(Remeber to backup files first!

1. Download the following:
a. Blackra1n(if you updated your itunes to 9.1 or you get an asl.dll error when using blackra1n, click this link to fix:
http://rapidshare.com/files/372840997/Blackra1n_for_iTunes_9.1.zip)
2. Download 3.1.2 firmware from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
3. Now go to notepad
4. Now press: File> Open> click "My computer"> click "local disk(C:)"> Press windows> click "System 32"> click "Drivers"> click "etc"> once here, on the bottom press on the "files of type" catagorey and change it from "Text Documents" to "All files"> now click "hosts"
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the file and all the way at the bottom> under the last thing put this code in: 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is how it should look: xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx(these represent words above)
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
6. Once you put it in, PRESS SAVE, NOT SAVE AS!!!!!
7. After you save it, just exit out of the notepad
8. Now put your phone into DFU mode(Hold both home and power button for 10 seconds, until after you say zero. Then let go of the power button at the top right and continue holding the home button untill you get a message from iTunes saying,"iTunes detected an iPhone/iTouch in recovery mode"> press ok.
9. Now press and hold the shift key for windows or alt key for mac(i think)
10. While holding down the button, press restore.
11. Browse for the .ipsw you downloaded and press open
12. Now iTunes will start doing things with your iDevice and right when it is almost done, you will receive a "1015 error" THATS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!!!
13. Now it will tell you againt hat it has detected you iDevice in recovery mdoe again.
14. Now do steps 9-13 again.
15. Once again, you will get the 1015 error. From reading online, I read that your iDevice REALLY HAS DOWNGRADED BUT IS IN THE REVOERY LOOP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
16. KNowing that it really has downgraded, run Blackra1n or blackra1n for iTunes 9.1 for those who upgraded.
17. Your device should go through the normal steps blackra1n usually does.
18. If blackra1n doesnt work the first time try running it again.
19. Your device should now load up and it should bring you to the "slide to unlock" screen.
20. You should have blackra1n there and now, all you ahve to do in install Cydia.
21. NOW YOUR DONE!!!! = D

But for all those with Iphone 3gs(like me) the baseband stays the same, making it still impossible to unlock. Sorry = D
HAPPY JAILBREAKING

  13. Hi,
    I have just try the guide (including the code "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" (for 2 times) and the result is a message (Sorry for the Portuguese parte)
    "Não foi possível restaurar o iPod "iPod". This device isn't eligible for the requested buid."
    I had try with the firmware "iPod3,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw"
    The strange part is that i didn't change the code and it was able to restore :|
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.

  14. What do you mean by you didn't change the code and was able to restore? Restore to what I may ask. That error us because apple stopped signing those firmwares, which is what the code is for. there is a video in YouTube nit by me, where a person is showing idetical steps. I reccomend looking up to the part where you put your code to see if it's in the right place. I will send you links asap 2morrow because I'm in my fone now = D

  15. Sorry for the confusion. When i say that it was able to restore i mean that it was able to go back to the 3.1.3 signing by apple, and having the code.
    I test the code by putting gs.apple.com in my browser and checking that it points to a different place different.

  16. Alright but did you download the 3.1.2 firmware... and put the code specifically in the place I told you? Because it seesm like you restored back to to 3.1.3 again. It should restore to 3.1.2 but it would give you an error right before you finish... = D

  17. Hi, yes i did.
    Had try with the "iPod3,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw", because i have an iPod Touch 3g 64gb 3.1.3 MC Serie.
    I have review all topics and try for several times.
    Is it possible to downgrade from my iPod to the 3.1.2?
    Thanks for you help.

  18. alright since you hav mc, it seems to me that this will not allow MC models to jailbreak with this because it says that the device is not eligible. Searching youtube is the best way to go. Or maybe try downgrading your itunes versiion
    = D
