I did exactly as described and with the updates that rjohnstone mentioned. It did not work for me. I got 640x480. I'm using a 3GS with the latest OS update and Limera1n. I tried restarting my iPhone to see if that would do the trick and it's been stuck on the Apple logo screen with the "spinning timer thing" overlaying the Apple for about 20 minutes. It's frozen and not loading anything. I've tried resetting/restarting multiple times but it isn't happening.

My phone is doing this as well. I had to put it in DFU mode and restore.
 
It doesn't brick your iPhones if you make the changes manually to match the modded files. You should never just simply drag and drop a modded file into the iPhone file system. Make all the changes yourself, so you know what gets changed.

What utility did you use to diff the plists? Command line diff doesn't show anything because plists are binary.
 
I used the OPs file on the first post. Brick central.
Interesting... he must have changed something in the zip file from the first version.
His file locations in the latest set of instructions are still not 100% correct, but anyone should be able to figure them out.

There's a missing slash in the Celestial location.
Copy and replace existing files from ¨Celestial¨ to /System/LibraryPrivateFramework/Celestial.framework/N88
Should read as follows:
/System/Library/PrivateFramework/Celestial.framework/N88

Copy and replace existing files from ¨AVFoundation¨ to /System/Library/AVFoundation.framework/N88

Should read:
/System/Library/Frameworks/AVFoundation.framework/N88

I know this is nothing new for the 3GS, but it's nice to be able to use the native camera app instead of adding yet another program to duplicate functionality.

Works fine for me. I've rebooted my phone twice since then with no issues.

Would help if we had a list of changes
 
I also used Plist Edit Pro


I changed couple of things in the README but still it's not right, maybe i was to tired yesterday:D
 
OP why don't you just decrypt the firmware? Download the firmware to your Desktop and change the extension to ZIP and extract it. Then download VFDecrypt and unzip it to your Desktop. Once you've extracted the iPhone firmware files, locate the 018-7063-114.dmg and drag it to the Desktop. Now open up Terminal and type in, without quotes, "cd ~/Desktop" enter "./vfdecrypt -i 018-7063-114.dmg -o decrypted_fs.dmg -k 2ab6aea67470994ec3453791ac75f6497c081edd1991e560a61dd666ac4b73f43c781739". When done you should have the decrypted iPhone 4 4.1 filesystem in a dmg labeled decrypted_fs on your Desktop. At this point you can delete the other files you downloaded.

does anyone know how to use vfdecrypt. can anyone pose exactly what i should type in terminal?

It was in post 46, you even replied to it. Gives you the key and everything.

Works fine.. Try moving the dmg to the vfdecrypt folder and run it from there.
 
Perhaps if you post the message it gives you, we could help. You don't go to a garage and tell them "When I turn my key, something happened. How much will it cost to fix?"

vfdecrypt -i 018-7063-114.dmg -k 2ab6aea67470994ec3453791ac75f6497c081edd1991e560a61dd666ac4b73f43c781739 -o RootDecrypted.dmg

It's just the camera's lenses trying to focus. It might not like to record in HD. Nothing to really worry about.
 
so you can't just change the plist-files but have to edited the original ones?
No... you can drop the new ones in over the existing... just back up your originals first.
That's what I did.
I did a compare first to see exactly what was changed and didn't see anything that would strike me as dangerous.
Worst case scenario is you would have to restore the original files.
