check what is the ibootrom version first. look at my earlier post.

if it is new, then you have to be very very careful with jailbreak.

can u explain,why hv to very2 careful?
later i ask my fren to check his i3gs ibootroom

he meant that if you r in new bootroom and you have upgraded to 3.1.3...then you can't restore back to 3.1.2 and even jailbreak the phone...moreover if it is locked set..the your iPhone will be use as iPod touch...

owh wowww... ok ok
btw means i hv to make sure the iphone is in old bootroom then consider can jb.

also the fact that if the 3GS is with new ibootrom, you can only perform a tethered jailbreak with blackra1n. the really really careful portion about this is that once you have jailbroken your 3GS, you CANNOT manually reboot! you have to trigger reboot using blackra1n. if you did a reboot manually, then you are doomed. you phone will always be stuck at the recovery mode state after reboot. you cannot restore to a firmware other than the latest one (not even a custom 3.1.3 firmware with baseband 5.11.07).

i have this problem now with my friend's 3GS that i was trying to jailbreak with blackra1n. everything went well including installation of cydia and apps. but the mistake i did was to manually reboot the phone. then i'm stuck now with the recovery mode. i tried lots of ways to try and restore it to 3.1.2 (custom firmwares) but to no avail

i can't even reboot the phone now with blackra1n. it will go to DFU mode once triggering reboot by blackra1n.

so i basically stuck and still thinking whether to wait or to just proceed with the latest restore to 3.1.3 (which means that there will be no jailbreak options available at the moment). sucks! have a lot of explaining to my friend to do...

please don't end up like me.

owhhh ..Thx for ur completely Info!!
lucky i just done half way,other wise my fren will flying kick me ahakzzz

this is what i got from System profiler in DFU mode

Serial Number: CPID:8900 CPRV:30 CPFM:03 SCEP:05 BDID:04 ECID:000003A52A09ED2F IBFL:00 SRTG:[iBoot-596.24]

so? new bootrom or old?

sorry, i did a typo on my earlier post for the ibootrom version.

the new version should be IBOOT-359.3.2

seems like your bootrom version is for a 3G phone and not a 3GS. if it is a 3G, then you should be safe (can anyone confirm???).

one more this i just notice this firmware is different
iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw and iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw

whats diff 1,2 and 1,1?

iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw - for 1st gen iPhone
iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw - for iPhone 3G
iPhone2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw - for iPhone 3Gs

any idea? im using the right version 1,2 which is for iPhone 3g, but when it comes to browse the firmware, it said wrong fware damn.
even pwange tool cant browse automatically the firware i put in the same folder

my friend has a oldboot room 3gs but already updated 3.1.3... still can jailbreak arr sifus?
btw regarding my question on how to install rock after i delete blackrain, i must restore and run blackrain again? i've try switching off then reboot using blackrain but the blackrain icon dosent seem to appear
mine is the newboot room with 3.1.2 and i did not restore or shift restore to 3.1.2(bcoz i cant, it says cannot though ) b4 JB with blackrain, i just run blackrain with everything after i use for like a month. its succesful though..can off and reboot with blackrain also

hmmm confirmed new bootrom?

sounds really impossible with manual reboot...

do you have your serial number? can share with us?

i can off and reboot with blackrain bro...is this consider manual reboot?
my 4th and 5th serial number is 52

that is with new bootroom.. number 4th and 5th is below 40 is with old bootroom lo

i actually manually rebooted my phone a few times and i can reboot my phone using blackra1n. mine is the 3GS with new bootrom. so i don't think there's any problem with manually rebooting.

you might wanna try turning off antivirus/firewall. my friend had same problem as you did and he tried this and manage to reboot his phone with blackra1n.

for jailbreak 3.1.2

shall refer bootroom or baseband?

i'm currently running baseband 05.11.07 on my jailbroken 3gs using blackra1n.

i've read that for baseband 05.11.07, it is possible to jailbreak OS 3.1.3 using blackrain.

if i upgrade my firmware to 3.1.3, and jailbreak, will i still have all my apps and settings?

u can update ur firmware by custom firmware.. remember never go update through itunes to 3.1.3 for now.. because still haven got any JB tool yet.
if u not rely needed just forget update to 3.1.3 because nothing much different at the end..

thx, i'll prolly stick with 3.1.2 for now.

desperately finding a solution for the battery drainage hoping that 3.1.3 would help
