Bricked, cant restore or fix

History

I have an bricked Iphone 3GS. I've tried to restore the firmware by clicking restore. So i supose the Iphone restored to 4.3.3?

When almost done, i get the 1015 error on Itunes and my Iphone is bricked. ( http://www.iphonefootprint.com/wp-conten...)

I've tried everything to unbrick the Iphone:

Most of the youtube fixes.

Fixrecovery and zlib1 file => Al goes good untill i get the apple logo. My phone doesn't reboot like show in link. I get the bricked phone image again. Can someone explain me what to do? Wich firmware to download, etc.

I'm on baseband 06.15.00

I can't see the firmware on my iphone using tinyumbrella cause the installed firmware box is blank.

When connect to Itunes, I'm always in recoverymode.

Thank you Brad for the response. I've just done what you told me. I've created the snowbreeze file, restored the Iphone. !!!It worked!!! I now have 4.3.3 firmware and 06.15.00 baseband. Cydia is already installed but i dont have Wifi. any sugestions? do I have to re-jailbreak?

sofiane,

Try to make a new Custom Firmware with Sn0wbreeze, but this time when setting up Sn0wbreeze click the "Custom Packages" box and add ultrasn0w and any other Cydia apps you might need. If Sn0wbreeze will not let you add ultrsn0w here then do not use this file(Custom Firmware).

Brad,

I've ran snowbreeze, reselecting the 4.3.3 ipsw file, then clicked the custom packages. Then I see select packages, download packages and manage sources. Ultasnow is allready in the manage sources tab. What do i have to do next? Thx in advanced

sofiane,

I thought your problem was possibly not having Ultrasn0w on your iPhone right now. If Ultrasn0w is already there do not do anything. Do you get telephone service now on the iPhone? If yes, then you are good. I thought because you said No Wifi you could not get your iPhone at least working as a phone again. Regarding the No WiFi issues I don't have a good answer.

Brad,

I now have my SIM-card in the Iphone. Thats the provider wich i have to unlock. Because with that card, i only get the Itunes, usb plug + Slide ( http://hottipscentral.com/blog/wp-conten... ( example picture)).

Start with making a Custom Firmware 4.3.3 for 3GS and install it, if mac use pwnage tool 4.3.3 go to following site http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.ph... ,

if windoz use snowbreeze 2.7 go to following site http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/welcome.sno...

Problems solved with thanks to Brad!! Start with making a Custom Firmware 4.3.3 for 3GS and install it, if mac use pwnage tool 4.3.3 go to following site http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.ph... , if windoz use snowbreeze 2.7 go to following site http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/welcome.sno... Go to cydia, and run ultrasnow. Should be fixed. I had problems with wifi. Couldn't find my network. I went close to the wifi antenna, and had reception. Could instal Ultrasnow and phone was JB and Unlocked. If you're having the same problem, check your cable 6!

sofiane,

my iphone is stuck it will not boot and will not turn off when i try to switch the phone of using the methods shown over the internet such as hold the power and home button for a few second it stays on the apple logo and when unplugged it just keeps showing the battery dead logo i have tryed everything. i cant get the phone to go into recovery or dfu mode as the phone needs to be turned off for this to work please help. i have also tried holding down the home button whilst plugging it in to the computer but have had no success.

Try using recboot to put your iphone in DFU mode. http://jaxov.com/2010/05/recboot-iphone-... read the steps brad made me do.

I don't see the steps that Brad had you do so if you could maybe relist those, that would be great. I am having a similar problem. My phone is stuck off and only goes to the screen with the itunes logo on it when I plug it in. I keep trying to restore it and follow instructions I'm finding online, but have had no luck so far. My phone had already been unlocked and jailbroken using Redsn0w. I keep getting different error codes. From 1611 to 3194 and now 1600. I am getting so frustrated!! Any help or advise would be truly appreciated!
