I am fairly new to this. But I've been trying to jailbreak a 3GS iphone for 2 days. Originally I had errors while trying to downgrade OS from 4.3.5 to 4.3.3 and 4.2.1. I finally had sucess with 4.2.1 while using a older version of sn0wbreez. Restored to older 4.2.1 with no errors but was stuck in DFU so I decided to go ahead and load greenp0sion since it has to be in DFU anyway. BTW I saved the SHSH's in Tiny Umbrella. Everything loaded fine and completed and still in DFU. In my efforts I can watch the log in Tiny Umbrella and watch it go from DFU to recovery but it will never but up. I have used RecBoot, TinyUmbrella fixrecovery, and probably others i can't recall right now. So as a last resort I tried Redsn0w, all seemed fine and loaded and can watch the screen respond like it should. But no boot out of DFU...unless I check "Just Boot Tethered right now". It will boot up then! But it has no information such as phone number, carrier and so on. I tried to restore backup in itunes and it said OS was too old. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Any ideas as to what I did wrong?

Thanks,
Firefly
