So I mistakenly decided to unjailbreak and update my phone a few weeks ago when I was having problems with it... so now I'm stuck with 4.2.10 and Im reading that there really is no chance of a jailbreak... very sad
Ive taken your advice and i downloaded tiny umbrella.. when i hit the Save SHSH button I now have a thing that says iPhone4CDMA 4.2.8 (8E401) under saved SHSH's is that a good thing?
mind pointing me into a direction on how to go about doing so? ;P
anyone else have any insight as to what I need to do next?
problem I'm now running into is that I can't even restore a clean version of 4.2.10... it keeps telling me I'm not authorized for it.. even though my phone is currently on 4.2.10.. /puzzled
Click "Start TSS server" then open itunes. Hold shift (option on mac) and point iTunes to the 4.2.8 firmware. If the restore fails at the very end, open Tiny umbrella back up and click Exit Recovery. Done deal. Note that you will either need a backup from 4.2.8, which you may have an old one lying around, or will need to set up as a new iphone. If you sync your contacts with outlook etc, and save all your pictures either manually or by syncing, youll only lose your text messages and user data (high scores on angry birds) when you set up as new.
Download firmware flies from here:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750
A better place for firmware is here http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
the firmware downloads from apples server (ie http://appldnld.apple.com )
Once you get tinyumbrella, close itunes, open tinyumbrella, click start TSS server, open itunes and restore. :]
(The TSS server does the same thing that apples server do, except it snags itunes request to verify and directs it locally instead of going out to apples servers to verify the ipsw)
well I was able to get to where I could start restoring 4.2.8 ipsw.. i get about 80% done when I get a 1013 error.. I've tried tiny umbrella and reboot to kick it out of DFU.. it tries.. but then goes right back to the dfu screen. Ive tried reinstalling the 4.2.8 firmware 3 times (even tried a different source incase i had a bad firmware file) no matter what i can't get out of DFU =x I keep feeling like I'm getting close to getting back to my old JB.. but it seems every time i find a fix... a new problem pops up ;x

Why dont you mouse hover over one of the firmware files linked to on the page I posted, and see where it downloads from.
Hint: It's the Apple server. Not only that, my site was iClarified, the oldest most respected, most trustworthy jailbreak site on the internet.
So yeah, go with my site.
felixbruns is mentioned in practically EVERY tutorial on jailbreaking.
So your argument means what? iClarified is better just because it's an established jailbreak community? Scoff.
Well the problem i see with feloxbruns is that it doesnt have 4.2.8 .. it only has 4.2.7 . which I cant use because my SHSH is 4.2.8
1.) Started with a fresh 4.2.10
2.) Opened TU and started server
3.) Shift-Restored 4.2.8 fresh IPSW
Now I cant get out of DFU mode (tried several times in TU as well as 2 other programs)) .. so I did what someone above suggested and tried to restore using a custom snowbreeze firmware.. now im getting the error 21..
bout to toss this thing out the window >>
**EDIT**
Does anyone think the baseband is whats getting in the way of me coming out of DFU? Is it panicing?
Great!! Why worked for you??Hey guys just wanted to get you an update.. Thanks to all of your help I was able to downgrade to 4.2.8 and successfully JB using snow breeze.. Thank you all very very very very VERY much for your help. =)
