    Just noticed YouTube not working. ‘Cannot connect to youtube’ error. Is there a fix? Can I jailbreak using snowbreeze 1.7 from already JB iOS4?

    • Smitty 15 July 2010 at 10:44 am #

      Heat,
      just found your post about the new YouTube mobile site m.YouTube.com
      It works as a good substitute since my YouTube app isn’t working. I installed the icon to my homescreen and I’ll use that instead.

    love you all.

    • Allen750 5 August 2010 at 2:08 am #

      If you create a custom IPSW for the iPhone 4, jailbroken, that’d be great.

      • Smitty 5 August 2010 at 4:32 am #

        You no longer need custom ipsw, Install firmware4.0.1 from iTunes then jailbreak with jailbreakme.modmyi.com from iPhone browser, then unlock with ultrasn0w in cydia.

    • Shyam 12 August 2010 at 6:18 pm #

      I have a jailbroken iPhone 3G on 3.1.2(Firmware 04.26.08) I am downloading the the custom activated ones, do i put my phone in recovery mode and ‘Restore’ in itunes using the one im downloading or do i need to do something else.

      Like every1 i just dont want to screw my phone up, any info is appreciated.

      Thanx

  8. Muhammad 5 August 2010 at 5:52 am #

    Smitty is correct.

    even if i upload the custom IPSW, it wont help you. coz you still have to modify the host file and shsh blobs and tiny umbraila.

    the best is jailbreakme.modmyi.com go there and very easy to JB.

    yes restore 4.0.1 ipsw original and open from iphone browser jailbreakme.modmyi.com and slid to jailbreak.

    hope it would helps.

    • Allen750 5 August 2010 at 3:01 pm #

      Ahh, I see now. Thank you. My phone isn’t activated so I can’t use Safari >.>

      Hi, I have a 3g iphone with firmware 05.13.04 and bootloader 5.9, can you help me, please?

  9. TheScottyTurner 6 August 2010 at 10:14 pm #

    hello, I have a iPod touch 2.2 (5G77a) MB model and I’m new to jailbreaking and find it kinda overwhelming…..could someone tell me which firmware I should download?

    • Smitty 8 August 2010 at 2:49 am #

      The ipod jailbreak has many variables to consider when determining jailbreak options. Go to jailbreakmatrix.com and find ipod 2G, click the link “whick ipod do I have?”,
      Whether or not you can jailbreak depends on what ipod family, version(MC or other), firmware version.

  10. bobby 12 August 2010 at 11:34 pm #

    can anyone give me an ipsw 4.0 download for snow breeze or redsnow thnxs

    and if anyone has any type of account and dus not want it then send me the account to my email

    for example
    club penguin runescape and other things any type dus not just have to be games any account

    Can you post these on somewhere other than rapidshare? like mediafire or something? rapid share is annoying.

  12. Jules_f 19 September 2010 at 2:48 pm #

    Hi, I have an iphone 3GS new bootrom, locked to AT&T, loaded with 3.1.2. i jailbroke it using blackrain and cydia, it worked fine and was able to use it outside US, until yesterday it froze and while trying to reboot, i realized that i was getting the recovery mode. i am trying to restore original firmware with no luck at all, always eror 1604, i tried all way possible and read all threats. i am afraid the problem is in my 3gs and not itunes, since i tried more than 3 pcs with different itunes version.
    my question is what version shall i restore and how and does it need to be a custom firmware or original. now my iphone seems to be useless and i hate to feel that.

    help please

    • indi 21 October 2010 at 7:23 pm #

      Don’t play anymore man, if you upgrade your baseband to 5.14, your iphone is nothing but an iPod

      Read carefully about SHSH, TinyUmbrella if you want to restore to your required firmware while still keep your baseband as is.

  13. Benjamin 14 October 2010 at 3:39 pm #

    My iphone 4g with firmware 4.0.1 dont reboot(i TUR ON MY PHONE AND THE LOGO APPLE STOCK ) I try to restore with itunes 10 and all firmware 4.0, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 and i got this error 3194
    please help me?

    • indi 21 October 2010 at 7:13 pm #

      Did you activate your iphone with original sim, if you have such sim, connect your iphone to iTunes, insert your sim in; or use all-in one sim card if you don’t.

      • jac 4 January 2011 at 8:20 pm #

        I have a 3gs jailbroken & unlocked ios 4.0.1 which is stuck on apple logo. I tried to restore custom ipsw 4.0.1 downloaded from web. when doing this i get error msg 3194 in itunes saying “this iphone cannot be restored” Pl help me.

    I would greatly appreciate any help that is available. thx.

    • indi 21 October 2010 at 7:19 pm #

  15. blaster 8 December 2010 at 3:17 pm #

    do you risk losing your data if you do that ? (SMS, pictures, adress book)

    or will it just update the firmware, and leave all the data that was already on the iphone ???

    thanks a lot if you can help me
