I hope this has not been covered but i've literally looked all over the past few days and i can't find my restore error.
I have a new bootrom 3Gs with 5.0.1 (9A405). The phone had a fresh install of 5.0.1 with nothing on it at all. I bought it used and I intended to jailbreak and unlock it for t mobile. I tried to jailbreak with redsnow (an older version not sure which one but i can find out) and encountered a problem. The phone hungup on the running pineapple screen and then went to the silver apple screen with a status bar under it but nothing happened. it took me a few days to get the phone to accept a charge because the battery somehow died while this was going on.
after it charged i tried to do a restore with the newest itunes and get a (-1) error when the phone is just about completely done restoring.
I then tried to jailbreak the phone again using redsnow 9.10b3. it worked but the phone has a blank baseband and its stuck in a reboot loop. the phone reboots and then goes to the slide to unlock screen. I then have about 2 minutes before the phone reboots itself and round and round i go.
I've tried to fix recovery in tinyumbrella, & redsnow, neither one stops the indefinite reboot loop. and now i'm stuck. not sure what to try.
