Hi!

I wanted to restore my iPhone 4, and decided this was a good time to test the restore to 5.0.1 with saved blobs, before 5.1 comes out (just in case something goes wrong, which is what happened!). :eek:

I used the latest redsn0w (0.9.10b5) to stitch the blobs previously saved with redsn0w (I later tried the ones saved by TinyUmbrella, same result). I then used redsn0w to put the iPhone in Pwned DFU mode, and used Option-Restore in iTunes to restore to the customized ipsw file. When the restore was done, I got "Unknown error 1" and the phone was left in recovery mode. I tried to kick it out of recovery mode with TinyUmbrella, it just kept rebooting.

In the end, I just used regular DFU mode to do a regular restore, as 5.0.1 is still signed. But now I worry about what will happen when 5.1 is released. What did I do wrong?
