Custom firmware for 4.1

TMar said:
Maybe, I testing it out now on a 3gs had only done the 3g so far(which is the same) since my 3gs is already on 4.1 with snowbreeeze. So maybe they got lazy and decided to put all 3gs owners in the same boat to try to make it fool proof for people who don't know if they've been pwned or if they are new or old bootrom. Because there is no reason to switch exploits especially considering the new one is a teather without the kernel exploit which can/will be fixed.

"Through a combination of the recently released geohot limera1n exploit , @comex’s recently released pf kernel exploit, and our original pwnage2 exploit, PwnageTool 4.1 4.1.1 works untethered on these devices at firmware 4.1:"

With that above and a mention that people on the train would stay on it with 4.1 it's not a huge leap to see that they dropped the ball for 3gs owners.

yeah, the 3GS is running the new exploit while the 3G has the same older exploit as before. Which is sad because I lost my custom boot logos this time around and is not as good as exploit as the original one. :( MuscleNerd has said that after 4.2 comes out, then a few days later the 3G & 3GS owners will be able to do our stuff, so I don't know what they have under wraps for the next time....
 
I am not sure if it's correct or not but I heard that if we want to install a custom firmware (cooked by pwnage tool 4.1) using Microsoft Windows, we need to jailbreak using greenpois0n or limera1n FIRST and then from this point on we can use Custom IPSW’s. :confused:

The reason is because the bootrom has to be PATCHED FIRST before you can use Custom IPSW’s. Simply restoring with a Custom IPSW does not do this. You have to use greenpois0n or limera1n to apply this initial patch and then from that point on if you ever need to restore again you can use a Custom IPSW. This is different for MAC users because they can create custom IPSWs right in PwnageTool and then when they are asked if their device has ever been jailbroken before they would select NO in which PwnageTool would then patch their bootrom. :confused:
 
We can enter the DFU mode using new redsn0w and then we can restore to a custom firmware made by pwnage tool (using mac) on windows.

I have tried it and it worked for me. Run new redsn0w first and choose "Just put into pwned dfu mode" option. Then run iTunes, point it at custom IPSW not the one (offcial) that you browsed while running redsn0w.

In the first and second try, I get error messages ('9' and '1600') but finally I was able to restore it in third try... :)

What did you do when you got the error, in order to start over and try again?
