Hello...

I am kinda new to the iPhone Locking and jailbreaking...


I have a iPhone 3Gs ..

It was Unlocked and Jailbreaked Using Cydia & Ultrasn0w...

The Firmware was 4.0.1 and BaseBand was 6.15.000

I was having some problem with the phone so i decided to upgrade the firmware and ios to 4.3.1

I used Ultrasn0w made a custom 4.3.1 IPSW File...and successfully restoreed it...Using iTunes and all...

When the restored completed the phone was in still DFU/Recovery Mode. [Black Screen]

The iPhone is not going back to normal..the blackscreen is only being seen..:(

Now i Don't know what to do..i tried to restore the iPhone again but iTunes is giving 1601 error..

I tried hold home button + power button all...but the black screen never gone off...and yaeh itunes is detecting my iPhone but saying recovery mode and need to restore it..

Please help guyz...you are the masters of it....

Put it into DFU mode and restore it to 4.1 firmware.
 
or if that doesnt work, try using recboot and use the thingy "kick out from DFU mode" that might work.

It will not work because Apple stops signing 4.3.1, you can't restore it to a firmware that Apple is no longer signing unless you have blobs save. For some reason Apple is still signing 4.1 and that the reason it works.
