I am stuck like Free pass but this is my Iphone 3GS. I am loading 3.0.1 not 3.0 but defiantly not 3.1. My problem is I think I am in DFU mode. Itunes says im in recovery mode, and I get the IBEC file. I am pretty sure when I first did the standard recovery that is where I got the IBEC file also. Im so confused and it takes for ever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Am I just screwing things up? Where is the IBSS file?

Thank you

I’ve done already 6-7 restores and every single one is giving me iBEC files, not the iBSS….and every time I captured the first temp folder that appears.

during the restore process..
keep refreshing Temp folder because the folder that appears stays for a short time.

Yes. You should get your iBEC and iBSS files generated during restores in Recovery and DFU modes. Musclenerd and Planetbeing both clarified that we should have these, in addition to the purplera1n file.

FROM MUSCLENERD:
- “purplera1n file isn’t ecid..it’s iBSS signed with your ECID. Each file has separate result. iBSS is important, so too is iBEC”
- “iBEC is a little more useful for crossing security epochs because both legit iBoot and legit IBSS accept it.”

FROM PLANETBEING:
- “Belated clarification: still need to either ra1n, USB dump, or copy tmp. Tmp is just easier than USB and doesn’t scream to Apple you jb.”
- “If you already used purplera1n you are prolly safe for jb, though you cannot restore to totally stock 3.0 without all files (not just ibss)”
- “ra1n only gets you the part that would be unique to your phone, not the whole thing with the code.”

If you already have your ECID code using the USB view, do you need these certificates?
