iPhone 3gs I had it unlocked and jailbroken so I could bring it here to Haiti where I am working. There are no experts here and I will give you my fifth born for some help.

I had no problem with blackra1n but this weekend internet service was down here. The company I use here was lying to me saying everything was fine (I later found out they have problems). And so I looked online to see what to do. I saw the spirit jailbreak and thought that might help and now my iPhone is in recovery mode. I try makeitra1n and that simply does not work.


Please help. Thanks
 
thanks

I tried doing this yesterday and I had great difficulty with this issue of the terminal script. Can you clarify the process for me. Which terminal software do I use. I am on a UN computer here (a pc) and so this is very different for me.

Thanks
 
update

I finally found a computer in English (the one I am using is in Swedish) and I was able to do most everythign except I could not do the administrator process...so when i did the terminal commands, after the first cmd everything was rejected.

Any ideas?
thanks
 
Type su and hit return in Terminal.

Then type the password, which is alpine, unless you've changed it.
 
two more qeustions

first, i meant the rights click in setting up the libusb. it says to do this as step two

and then the terminal program, i can only find command prompt ...this is the same no?

but the su doesn't work here either...
 
did it but still not working

I was able to run the scripts but the iphone is still in recover mode. When you did this with your iphone was it a jailbroken one? Why is this happening?

thanks

It's a possible fix. Doesn't mean it's going to fix it for sure.
 
You are correct. Do you have any other ideas as to how to get my iphone running. If I were to restore it after a jailbreak and the unlock, will it work in the US again or will it not work at all? I really need it here, but I bought it already jailbroken.

Cheers.
