Restoring an iPhone 3gs that has been jailbroken?
I have recently bought a Blackberry however my old phone (iPhone 3GS) had been jailbroken so it was stuck on ios 3.1.2 and now I need to upgrade the software.
I opened up itunes and tried to upgrade but it failed so I clicked restore and that failed as well. Now I have no access to my phone and the screen is a usb telling me to connect to itunes. I really need some advice. Is it possible to get my phone working again!
Wow ios 3.1.2
Okay listen carefully.
1) Download the latest version of Redsnow and download Tiny Umbrella ( both on computer )
2) Plug in your device to your computer and now open Tiny Umbrella. On the far left you will see some letters or something that indicates your device is connected. Click on that.
3) Click on Exit Recovery on the right.
Your iPhone is now unbricked.
1. Go to http://iosdl.com/ and download ios 6.1.2 for your iPhone 3gs.
2. Extract that file to the desktop.
3. Open Redsnow. Click Extras. Click Even More. Click Restore. Click on ISPW and then open up the file with the ios 6.1.2 firmware. Now click Remote.
4. Your iPhone will take some time to upgrade all the way to 6.1.2 so be patient.
5. Thats it. If you want to jailbreak, download evasion.
Hope i helped.
- My iPhone 6s has no phone case and I've dropped it several times but there has never been any damage The screen hasn't cracked and it still works like new and the phone is as old as when the first iPhone 6s came out. But it's just funny because i Never have a case on it and it's fallen, maybe only 3 feet at most onto wood floors and nothing has happened yet. Anyone else relate?
- My iPhone 3GS has been randomly restarting itself The screen goes blank then the Apple logo appears, after a few seconds it returns to the home screen and whatever I'm doing is lost. It has been doing this every couple of minutes all day yesterday, then this morning it suddenly returned to normal. What caused this and how can I diagnose/repair future issues? The phone is switched off all night and it started when I switched it on yesterday morning.
- Jailbroken iPhone 3GS is now locked after restoring it? My sister forgot what she had changed her iPhone password so I restored it. Not realising updating the software would lock it. Her phone is now telling me that it can't be activated! What can I do?!
- Is there anyway to fix an iphone 3gs that has been damaged for months? It has probably been water damaged for 3-4 months… Is there any real way to fix it without spending money?
