[serag213]

Hi everyone

i have iPhone4 - 3gs & iPad1

i wanted to update for clean restore using iTunes i used to do some jailbreaking on my macbook pro . last month i cant restore only to ******* firmware using tiny umbrella TSS server or Pwange tool.
but clean restore from apple NO I got the meesage that says YOR DEVICE IS NOT ELGIBLE FOR THE REQUESTED BUILD.

I try that on my MacBook pro, deleted the apple section on hosts file , updateded itunes , uncheck the cydia box on tiny umbrela nothing works.

I try it on macbook white with Lion new install without any exestance of tiny umbrela or any JB files Didnt work.

try it on Desktop Pc on vista using diffrent devices and defrent firmwares didnt work .

I toke my ipad to friends shop and he updat it from the first try ....

Your not selecting the right firmware - If your using the 3gs firmware make sure its iPhone2,1_XXXXXXXXXX.ipsw

its the right one... i have more than 25 firmware for 3g 3gs and iphone 4 .. am using them alll for the last years and all of them were ok

Put your device in dfu mode.

Select 3gs 4.1 firmware

let me know what happens

no am dealing with my iPhone4 . have 5.0 i want to do clean restore to 5.0 or 5.0.1

any advice in that method

Update itunes?

Again make sure Hosts file iws clean and make sure you don't have tiny umbrella running?

this only happens when apple stops signing a firmware , as far as i know . disable firewall, antivirus etc.

am using mac dont have antivirus and keep in mind i try it on diffrent os mac and pcs one of them clean install so hosts file never touched.

Am going crazy i have try every possible thing of all known solutions

yes somone was know buddy!

If you want to restore on the future clean update from ituns make sure that on that pc use only one itunes restore , do not use tinyumbrella , or some other free tools.
Now first check on C:windows/system32/driver/etc/host file and if you see something with gs.apple delete that , and restart pc.

Update itunes , and switch on you iphone and click on itunes tab restore.

Good look.

if you have iphone 4 you can do a clean restore only to ios 5.0.1 so in first time go to host file and delete 74.xxxxxxxx and other server after that make your phone in pwnd dfu mode with redsn0w "if your firmware in your iphone are 5.0" so you should use redsn0w 0.9b8 after that restore your iphone.
i hope it will help

try this
netsh
int ip reset c:\ip.txt

and restart your pc

and iphone4s
