Tetheredboot after iphone 4.3.1 jailbreak fails

[gkustas]

I successfully ran through the the pwnage tool jailbreak documented on http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-ios-4.3.1-iphone-4-with-pwnagetool-4.3.1-bundle-how-to-guide/

Next, I attempted to run the tetheredboot utility as described in the post, but it didn't work at all. I finally found another post which pointed out that the documentation failed to use the -i and -k switches on the tetheredboot command line.

So, I reran and it went much better, or so I thought. The upload worked (I think), and the device rebooted, but Cydia still would not launch. It starts up, but quickly closes. I assume that means that the phone isn't jailbroken, correct?

I re-examined the output from tetheredboot and noticed that there were some timeout errors, one at the end. See the output from the terminal below.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Also - I noticed in the output that it identified the device as iPhone 3,1. It's an iPhone4, does this matter? I highlighted all of the error messages in blue. Thanks in advance!

The iPhone 4's model is iPhone3,1. Also the 4.3.X jailbreaks are not very stable when it comes to some of the more advanced things. The kernel patches aren't properly done and can cause errors.

If cydia is there at all its Jailbroken. try running a terminal command to reinstall cydia or use ifunbox to transfer the .deb in yourself.

I'm jailbroken on 4.3 and have got this error message on every reboot I have carried out so far. Phone and jailbreak are working fine, so based on this I'm assuming that it's normal… Not sure about the other error messages you are seeing though!

I'm having a similar issue. I restored my jailbroken version of 4.3.1 and all was good. But tetheredboot will not take so I cannot run Cydia... I can see Cydia on the phone, but can't get it to open. Here's the output from tetheredboot.

Anyone have any luck getting 4.3.1 to work?

Here's the output I get from a successful reboot on a jailbroken iPhone 4 with 4.3. Not sure why Cydia won't open for you though.

I get the last line too.... and If yours worked, mine should have too i would think.

libusb:error [darwin_transfer_status] transfer error: timed out

So mine should be working... Cydia won't launch tho.

Or is it like its exiting DFU mode before it finishes?

I'm not sure why its not taking.

I have the same problem, my iPhone 4 is successfully jailbroken but Cydia won't launch either.
Also I get another libusb error:

I tried different computers and cables but it didn't help. Could it be something with the tetheredboot executable file?
I tried it again, and I got this:
