I used Erase All Content and Settings on a jailbreakme.com jailbroken but not unlocked iPhone 4 running on iOS 4.0 without doing any research.

The phone was only recently activated so it only has SHSH saved for 4.0.2.

The phone now gets stuck on the jailbroken apple logo (with the line of non-black pixels up top).

I can get the phone into DFU mode but iTunes will only let me restore to 4.0.2 but I would like to preserve the jailbreak.

Are there any utilities out there that can save the phone on 4.0?


I have the exact same problem except the phone was activated and unlocked using 4.0, tried some of the solutions in the thread getting the "Unkown error 3194" can't double check with cydia as device is in Recovery mode.

Error 3194 means it can't verify the firmware checks
Are you in DFU mode (black screen not iTunes picture)
Is the hosts file correctly modified
Do you have the hashes
Do you have the correct IPSW

Not in DFU mode...(sorry edited previous post was confused)
Host file correctly modified
What are the hashes?
Have the correct ipsw

Thanks
 
OK tried in DFU mode also..same Error 3194. How can i confirm if the blob was saved on cydia? as im assuming it did since it was on OS 4.0.

Use TinyUmbrella to see what hashes you have or have not saved. No hashes, no chance to install the firmware.
 
OK found the ECID can't correctly verify with Tinyumbrella due to "Cannot start tss service" error.
 
Is order to determine which hashes you have saved, if any, press Display SHSH's button. The TSS server button is to actually restore, if it's grayed out, you probably have port 80 blocked by another app.
 
Fixed the port 80 issue.

The Display SHSH dialog is empty when clicked, although the message box says "Restoring this ECID to this firmware will be successful".

I'm totally confused and frustrated at this point.

The phone was only recently activated so it only has SHSH saved for 4.0.2.

Can someone please help me understand what "activated" means in this context?

When you take the phone out of the box, stick the sim card in and plug it into iTunes, this activates the phone, it is when the phone was put into service.

In that case phone was never activated as I did not have a micro sim. Does this mean the shsh blob was never saved and im stuck :( ?

Can I now be saved? (L1merain) Does using "Erase all content and settings" remove the baseband?

Is that no to I can't be saved or it doesn't remove the baseband and I can update to 4.1 whilst preserving baseband.

No it will not remove the baseband. You will have to wait for the right tools if you want to preserve your baseband.

Think tiny umbrella TSS server will save the baseband while upgrading.

As per this article http://www.coveringweb.com/2010/10/unlock-iphone-4-on-ios-41-with.html
 
So can some experts please confirm this will work:

I can upgrade my currently wiped (Erase all content and settings iPhone 4 OS 4.0) never activated and without any saved SHSH hashes to OS 4.1 whilst preserving baseband (Tiny Umbrella or suggestions?) and then unlock using Ultrasn0w?

I don't want to risk upgrading to 4.1 with no unlock :(. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
