Actually, it looks to me like you are using the standalone fix. Have you tried the other one (the 42 or whatever it is)? I was in the same exact boat you're in and I was able to finally get out of it.

I tried running both the 43 and 421 recovery fix. It' launches in terminal and I get the following.

was on 4.1 and updated to 4.3.1 and am going to mess with the phone and see if it's a huge difference and what not. probably wait awhile for another jb.

anyways, just updated via itunes and let it reboot then ran redsn0w & let it do the rest, worked like a charm. most of my apps were there, except lockinfo and a few others but I can always get those quickly :)

-Edit-

So I used aptbackup, but now it's stating that "Restore can only happen after a backup has been performed and the iPhone has been restored." so should I restore the phone completely and re-do everything to get aptbackup to Restore or should I just do everything manually? I forgot some of the sources & cydia apps that I had :/

Man, that is EXACTLY what was happening to me. All I can tell you is to keep trying it because I eventually got my phone to show the "Slide for Emergency" screen. Once I got to that point itunes still wouldn't recognize the phone until I rebooted my computer. After that I was good to go.

I know it's frustrating but I really think you'll get it to pop if you keep trying. Try running greenpois0n on it too - even though it didn't completely work for me, I was able to get it out of recovery mode after that using the Fix Recovery standalone fix.
 
I've just come across an issue with in-app purchases and the latest untethered redsn0w jailbreak for 4.3.1 Last night I installed the Atari's Greatest Hits universal game app on my non-jailbroken iPad 2. In-app purchasing allows you to download game packs for 99 cents. Or all 100 available games for $14.99. I purchased all 100 games. This morning I synced my iPad to iTunes and then synced my jailbroken iphone4 to get the Atari app transferred onto it. When I started up the Atari app for the first time on the iPhone, a popup gave me the option to Restore and re-download all my previous in-app game purchases from the App Store. I clicked Restore and got this popup error message after entering my Apple ID password, "This is not a Test User account. Please create a new account in the Sandbox environment. [Environment Sandbox]. " Then this popup appears after clicking OK. "Error Restoring Purchases. Cannot connect to iTunes store. "
 
For those that are stuck in recovery mode after using pwgnage or redsn0w. Try downloading the latest iReb (http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/products/view/ireb.snow) for iPhone4. I'm a Mac user and I found out that its not out yet so I ended up using my windows laptop and download iReb from there. Run the program as it will put your phone into DFU mode. Then try jailbreaking it again using pwnage or redsn0w. It works for me.
 
By the way, is anyone else having problems with Cydia? insanelyi RepoPrep & Podulo RepoSetup both have an "upgrade" and when I click to upgrade I get a Size Mismatch error. Any fix for this?

this morning, i restored my in-app purchases from camera+ app and it was working just fine.

could u try it again later and please report back. thanks..
 
just updated and jb'd a few hours ago. working fine other than a few things: not all my of apps were restored (using pkg backup), but the big problem is - cydia is not working properly. it's only showing a small amount of apps. one of the apps i need to redownload, inspell, isn't even showing up at all.

also seems like when i get a text, it vibrates twice.. the first is very short and abrupt, then its followed by the normal vibrate.

I just deleted the Atari app from my iPhone, re-installed it and tried restoring my in-app game purchases. Still getting the same "This is not a Test User account" error.
 
I got a 1604 error (I think) when I tried restoring to custom 4.3.1. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I got the error when I tried restoring to a snowbreez'd 4.3.1, with all the bells and whistles (jailbreak and hactivation) but when I used SB to only make a baseband preservation IPSW (no hactivation, no jailbreak) then it restored to it. Funny.
 
What about those that just retain the baseband for resale purposes? I'm guessing for the 1 bar fix installing ultrasnow will be required?

I have the same question. I have 4.3.1 with 2.10.04 baseband. Will running ultrasn0w fix the 1 bar issue even though it will not unlock 2.10.04?
 
jailbroke today for the first time

seemed real easy although it sucks all the good apps cost alot of money
 
Yes, at least according to Musclenerds tweets from yesterday


This did not fix my the 1 bar signal issue. I just JB my iPhone 4 and installed 4.3.1 custom firmware using pwnage tool.I still have my 1.59 baseband. I installed the 4.3.1 unlock fixer through cydia to get my tmobile service but I still have the 1 bar issue.
 
Anyone notice scrolling through the apps on home screen is really weird jailbroken, hard to explain, but sometimes it goes really fast and bounces into the next page, then bounces back.

Doesn't do this on non jailbroken 4.3.1
 
Just a quick update on my experience. I've an IP4 that I've used for dev in the past so it has previously had 4.3 betas loaded. I back installed 4.2.1 a while ago and JB with greenpoison. Very nice experience and no issues.

I use Pkgbackup (to Dropbox) so today I used iTunes to update to 4.3.1, ran the redsn0w r10 JB on my MAC, downloaded Pkgbackup again and hit restore.

It took a REALLY long time but it worked flawlessly! Got all themes, folders, apps back perfectly (and I had a lot).

4.3.1-compat ultrasn0w update for *current unlockers* is out to external testers. Barring any hiccups, release is tonight

What does current unlockers mean?

@vjk2005 current unlockers means those who are unlocked at 4.2.1 or earlier. This isn't a new unlock, it's a compatibility fix only!

Current unlockers means those who already have unlocked (but not factory unlocked) iPhones.

He's stressing that this is not a new unlock.
