Hi all. I can't believe I am stuck. I have tried everything. Would really appreciate anyone's help here please.

I have a custom 4.3.3 3gs firmware created through pawnage
Started Tiny umbrella on mac
Do the restore on 4.3.3 on itunes and it goes successful and the phone completes and returns back to the blank screen and itunes says restore mode.

I tried kicking it out of recovery but nothing works.

I am trying two 3gs's and both of them are exactly the same. What wrong am i doing please. help :(

Do you have SHSH blobs save for these phones? if you don't, you can't restore them to 4.3.3 firmware since Apple stops signing this version of firmware.

Yes I do have the blobs saved. That's why the restore goes through fine. The whole process completes successfully but then ends with the DFU mode. :(

I have tried kicking it out of recovery and that process goes through fine and ends with DFU mode back again

which version of TU are you using? For me, TU version 04.30 works but not the later version. So, try that version to exit recovery and see if it works.
 
OK Both fixed.

Problem was surprisingly itunes restored without correct keys. I was going up to 4.3.3 for 3gs. On one phone cydia had the key for 4.2.1 and on the other it had 4.1. Downloaded both firmwares created custom and restored fine.

Now the only down side was that I upgraded the baseband for both even though 4.1 was not required.

I got the ECID using the system profiler and created a custom device on tiny.

Thanks all
