How to get your SHSH on file (even if you can't currently jailbreak)!

It is too late to get your 3.1.3 SHSH since Apple has stopped signing that firmware version. You will have to wait for a new jailbreak tool to be released.

You have been given the answer, you cannot downgrade a 3GS without the shsh saved. Nothing more to say.

I'm running the new android 2.2 from sergiomcfly with iOS4 on both of my old 3G iPhone's jailbroken with redsn0w. I did have to use the original R12 before the R12B to get R12B to install otherwise my R12B would lock up during the android bootup. R12 made my battery run hot R12B fixed this problem on mine. I havnt tried R12C will try it later he says working on the bugs now.

okay, so then what happens if and when I need to restore again to an older firmware? what's going to keep iTunes from preventing that?

I thought iTunes doesn't allow any backwards restoring?

Tiny umbrella will trick iTunes using your backup SHSH right? Please chime in anyone with more info I havnt tried this part of the process but looking forward to it on both my iPad & iPhone 4's.
 
3G still on 3.0.1 yet pulled SHSH via TinyUmbrella for 4.1 accidentally

Primarily @ thelatinist, tho all insight is welcome.

And so the challenge begins... My 3G is still running 3.0.1, and with an attempt to start logging SHSHs on file with Cydia, the default "Request Version" for the latest version of TinyUmbrella is indeed 4.1. Thinking that it would just save my current SHSH, my stomache dropped as it I watched it ping Cydia to pull " Asking CYDIA for SHSH blobs for iPhone3G 4.1 (8B117)..." the 4.1 SHSH blob.

Naturally I've tried to reach out for the earlier versions, but as anticipated, no dice as resulted with "CYDIA DOES NOT HAVE YOUR SHSH FOR iPhone3GS 3.0.1 (7A400) THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU TO GET THEM. SORRY. YOU ARE JUST TOO LATE."

At a minimum, since the 3G is still running 3.0.1, is there a way to somehow retrieve the SHSH for this for preservation? Or am I stuck and essentially have forced myself to accept the 4.1 update and should install it... whilst praying for jailbreaking solutions for 3G re 4.1?

Any and all help is appreciated-
 
You're stuck with getting only the FW that Apple is currently signing for, 4.1 for now. Sometimes and oddly, as with 4.0.2, they leave a longer window open for you to make sure you have your SHSH before not signing it anymore. thelatinist will tell you the same thing.
 
Do you Save ECIDs afterr Every New Jailbreak or OS?

I have a 2g mc ipod touch formerly jailbroken on ios 3.1.2. Recently Snowbreezed it on ios 4.1. Do I need to re-save to Cydia? How do you tell if your ECID is saved at Cydia?
 
My thoughts

Hey guys I've been jailbreaking recently and I've noticed a few things:

(I'm using iPhone 3G)

1. When I first tried to downgrade from the newest firmware to 3.1.3 it actually worked through a series of restoring multiple times and using Recboot a couple times. This might possibly work for 3.1.2 but I don't know.

2. I also noticed just getting to 4.0.1 is a lot easier than 3.1.3, and using Jailbreakme.com works perfectly, and unless you're making it into an Android I'd recommend that.

3. Also, the easiest way I think to downgrade is with TinyUmbrella, and I don't know if having a 4.x.x firmware does this for you, but i have all the 4.x.x SHSH's ready to use, but I don't fully understand how that works.

I'm open to criticism.

Is there anyway to get an SHSH for 5.0.1 even though I'm now on 5.1?

It has nothing to do with what version of the OS you have on your phone; all that matters is the version that Apple is signing. Since Apple stopped signing 5.0.1 shortly after the release of 5.1, however, it is now impossible to save 5.0.1 SHSHs.

3) Using iTunes and a Hacked hosts File

Benefits: Fewer steps than Umbrella; doesn't require you to know ECID.
Creates Local Backup: No
Requires Jailbreak: No

There is one other way that you can get your 3.1.3 SHSH on file with Saurik. This method does not require you to download any software or to jailbreak your phone, but it does require that you edit the hosts file on your computer and have a copy of the 3.1.2 firmware file (you can download it here.

1) Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and edit it by adding the following entry to the bottom of the file:
Code: 
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
2) Plug in your iPhone and open iTunes.
3) Hold down shift (Win) or option (Mac) and click restore.
4) Browse to your copy of the 3.1.2 firmware (not the 3.1.3 firmware).
5) Click OK.

Please note: you will get an error message. This is expected. Because Apple is no longer signing 3.1.2, you will not be able to restore, and Saurik's server will return an "device ineligible" error. Your phone will not be restored to 3.1.2. This unsuccessful request will, however, have placed your ECID on file with Saurik's server and will place you in the queue for 3.1.3 SHSH. You should have your 3.1.3 SHSH on file within a day or so. If you need to restore to 3.1.3 in the meantime, simply do so using iTunes. iTunes will send the 3.1.3 SHSH request to Saurik's server, which will request it immediately and pass it back to you so that you can restore.

thank you OP !
this method still confirm works for my 3 GS old boot room to get back alive in iOS 3.1.3 :D
phone was unable to boot and i don't have any SHSHs on my local computer but i remember sometime in the past i ever JB'd and save my SHSH on saurik's server...
thank you saurik's server for resurrecting my iphone :)

PS : i am using PC on XP with iTunes 10.5.2, and no error message after restore.
