Restore Jailbroken iPhone 4 running 4.0.1

Hi guys, this is my first time posting and I am in desperate need of help!
I have a jailbroken iphone 4 running 4.0.1 with baseband 1.59.00. It was all good until I had to reboot my iphone, which was where the trouble started. It wont reboot normally and is stuck on the apple logoo and will constantly loop.
I tried restoring it through iTunes with the stock ipsw 4.0.1 firmware from apple but it wont work since apple doesnt sign the firmwre anymore. I havent had the chance to back up my shsh and I have just tried putting it in DFU/restore mode but Tinyumbrella wont recognize my iphone. I was wondering is there someway that I can back up my shsh onto my harddrive instead of cydia server and then do a restore in itunes? Is that method possible?
Please help me I am in desperate need of my phone to work again and to preserve both firmware and baseband. Thank you guys in advance!

Unfortunately I think the phone needs to be working for you to save the shsh blobs, so all you can really do is restore it to 4.2.1 and get your phone working again.
I hope you get your phone working

If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Hi, Mommacat26.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This usually means that a required component is missing. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

Go elsewhere. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

I am trying to restore my jailbroken iPhone 3GS, but every time I get an error 1015 message. How to restore?

I am trying to restore my jailbroken iPhone 3GS having iOS 4.
I am getting an error message 1015 every time.
Unable to restore, please help.

You can try restoring the latest version in iTunes. Be aware that the jailbreak may have altered how your Mac works so you may want to make a clean install of OS X (on a spare disk) & retry installing the newest iOS from Apple onto the device via iTunes.
You can try all the usual steps to restore iOS onto a device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
You also cannot install older OS's from iTunes so you have little choice but to update the 3GS to iOS 6 (or perform more hacks). If it keeps failing I'd suspect something is altered on the Mac to allow the original jailbreak.
You must search elsewhere if you want to keep the jailbreak.

Restoring a jailbroken iPhone 4

Anyone know how to restore an iPhone 4 that's been jailbroken with Redsnow? The standard restore won't work and pops an error message that says "Apple doesn't recognize the current build." Any help would be appreciated

First I would do is go to your Settings > General > Scroll all they way down > Reset > Erase all contents and settings. This will wipe everything out on your phone, and once it's done it will have a itunes with the usb logo on it. From there you can try restoring your phone and see if that works.
If that didn't work then try putting your phone in DFU mode.
1. open itunes
2. connect iphone to itunes
3. Turn off iphone while it's connected with a usb cable but keep itunes open.
4. Hold the power button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds.
5. Let go of the power button but continue to hold the home button for 30 seconds.
6. Itunes will detect that your phone is in recover mode.
7. Restore from there.

Buzz! Thank you for playing!
Any warranty you had is void and your ability to get help here or from Apple is forfeit.
Try Google. We can not assist you per the terms of service.
It's very likely that your phone is now a brick.

Can you sync/ restore an iPhone 5 with ios6 using backup data from an iPod touch 4g running ios5?

Ok! So I've preordered my first iPhone ever, the iPhone 5. I will finally be letting my iPod touch go!
I've synced my iPod touch 4g to iTunes so that once I receive the iPhone, I can plug it in and restore and sync all my purchased apps, etc. However, the iPod touch is on ios 5. I do not plan to update and back it up on ios6. Will there be any issues. When I try to restore my iPhone 5 on iOS 6 using data from a iPod touch 4g that ran ios5?

It should be fine. I restored my new iPod Touch from the backup of my iPad. You will have to reenter keychain items like passowords since keychain items only restore back to the same device unless you use an encrypted backup. The iOS of the target device (phone for you) has to be at lest as great as that of the source device.

thanks for your kind help

1. Update iTunes - latest version is 10.4.1.
2. Disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware) running on your computer.
3. Don't try to downgrade the iOS version. This isn't supported
4. If you EVER tried to hack thie phone or use apps like tinyumbrella, you may have to edit the hosts file on your computer to remove references to gs.apple.com
5. If your phone has been hacked (jailbroken, iOS downgrade, or unauthorized unlocking), you may not be able to restore the phone to Apple specs again.
"This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod; follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this error. Try restoring moving the current .ipsw file aside, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

How to update to ios6 when "could not establish a secure connection to the device" message appears with Jailbroken iPhone 4

Hi all,
I've been trying to update my Jailbroken iPhone 4 to ios6 but, unfortunately, I keep getting the "could not establish a secure connection to the device" when connecting it to iTunes. I've tried updating "over the air" but this flags up an error too. Finally, I can't restore to a previous backup because, the backups I previously had, were stored on my old (broken) computer.
CAn anyone help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rakesh.

You jailbroke your phone.
Only google may help now.
You'll find no help here.
If Haiku you don't like,
Then to Google you should hike,
You jailbroke your phone,
Now on these forums you are alone,
'Tis a day of no cheer,
For we cannot help here.
In non-poem; You jailbroke your phone, which is not support by Apple, meaning updates will not work on it as they would if you were running official software.
As per the ToC for the device, and for these Discussion Boards (both you agreed too), you will not get support either from the discussion board, or from Apple directly.
Your best bet is to Google for help and learn a valuable lesson; Jailbreaking can definitely brick your phone.

When restoring my iphone 3g error 0015 occured

when I am trying to restore my iphone 3g i get error says "error 0015 occured" why?

1015 is common with OS downgrades. Are you running custom firmware or jailbroken? For that, the forum can't help you, but try restoring as normal via DFU mode. You may need to use 3rd party tools to fix your errors.

HT201413 I have been trying to restore my iphone 4s for 5 hours, please help! The update wouldn't work and now when I connect the iphone it says I have to resore in order to start using itunes but I am getting an error msg. HELP!

I am trying to update a 4s. The update did not work for some reason. Now I need to restore the iPhone. When I connect the usb to the computer and phone it says I need to restore. So, I click to restore. It starts extracting the software. But I am continually getting the same error message that it cannot complete for unknown error. I have been working on this for 5 and a half hours. I'm tired, mu husband needs his phone and apple support is a joke and of course I can't find any answers anywhere. Please help!

Hi MB2751,
As an iPhone user myself, I know it must be very much a problem to have the phone out of service because of an error such as you are seeing. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Help needed! I cannot restore my iPhone 5, An unknown error occupied (1)

Help needed! I cannot restore my iPhone 5, An unknown error occupied (1)..

That is either going to be a hardware failure or your phone is jailbroken and something has gone awry with the baseband.

I restored an iphone on a mac that it hadn't been previously synced with, and then accidentally clicked the sync button and now the music library on my mac is gone - can I get it back? If so, how do I get it back?

This is a crazy circumstance of events. We have an iphone that we use as our office line. My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks. Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked. He set a passcode on it while he was using it. Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone. In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe. Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck. So I looked up what needed to be done and how to restore the iphone. This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with. I restored it. And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up. I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored. I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists. This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters. There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those. Is there any way to get it all back???? Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
