Help with downgrade. Error (1013)

[iPat]

Little background on my problem. I have had the iPhone since day 1, and jailbroke very soon afterwards. I have performed every jailbreak method for all firmware versions, on 5 iPhones at my office. I was on 1.1.2, and jailbroken. I pulled the ultimate n00b move today. I was using Categories to leave only 4 icons on my dock. I decided I didn't like how long it took to load things and was reverting back. I forgot to make the icons visible before I deleted my categories, and was left with a blank springboard and dock. I tried to use iBrickr to install Dock and some other launchers but could not get their icons to appear either. Defeated, I restored my iPhone. Now, in the process to downgrade my 1.1.2 un-jailbroken iPhone to 1.1.1 to jailbreak and upgrade, I cannot get away from the The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013). I am placing the phone in the special restore mode, I even changed my version of iTunes back to 7.4.3.1. No help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this error. I am on Vista, iTunes 7.4.3.1 and freshly retored iPhone on 1.1.2.

All help greatly appreciated!

Ugh, now I really feel like a noob. Just used iBrickr to boot the phone, and it looks like I am in 1.0.2.

I updated my activated and jailbroken 1.1.2 otb to 1.1.3 via iTunes just for the heck of it and now I get the 1013 error you were getting but iBrickr will not help, unlike yourself. The phone just goes into a never ending scrolling garble!

Help!?!?!?!?!?

first off - error 1013 is one of the good errors - most times.


if you havethe scrolling lines of code, panic quietly for 15 seconds, ( XD) then take action.

connect your iPhone to the computer. press and hold sleep and home , and as soon screen goes blank, count off 5 seconds, then let go of sleep and keep holding home.

the screen will NOT turn on - this is good. iPhone will be recognized by iTunes - then, restore to 1.1.2 or whatever version your phone was on (DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE IT at this point) then when it is finished restoring you should try going to 1.1.1.

I couldn't believe that a subtle difference in sequence solved the problem. Thanks very much.

I'm in 1.0.2, activated and jailbroken. I've been following iNdependence and the next step would be to update via iTunes, which would be fine a month ago but not now with the 1.1.3 update?

I just want to get to 1.1.1 so I can use installer.app to get iphone back the way it was in 1.1.2 with 3rd party apps?

???

the best thing for you to do mate is to start a fresh from 1.1.1 as there is an Anysim for 1.1.1, i use this firmware as a base, as it has everything you need and was the most stable firmware jailbroken, do the following:

Download the 1.1.1 firmware if you haven't already (just search on google for it and you will find it on loads of sites)

Go into itunes shift click on a PC (windows) or cmd + ctrl click (ONLY CLICK UPGRADE), this will bring up your page to select the firmware you have or have just downloaded.

Then use the *#301# method to jailbreak 1.1.1, install the bsd sub system then make sure you OK to prep.

At this stage you do not need to anysim the phone, then download the 1.1.2 firmware, then do the same things to this as before (ONLY CLICK UPGRADE).

Once you have rebooted, use the 1.1.2 jailbreak.bat or .jar depending on your platform.

Then once your in 1.1.2 install everything you need HOWEVER if you want to ANYsim, im sure your aware make sure you are in AIRPLANE mode, the amount of times i have made that mistake lol...and had to start all over again....

Once you have done this you can decide whether to upgrade or not....sometimes with the downgrading if you wish to stay at a certain level it is best to downgrade the baseband once you are into 1.1.1 back from the 1.1.2 baseband, as i have had trouble in the past that if you turn the iphone off its starts to reboot and reboot over and over....there are a lot of sources on the iphone that have this baseband downgrader title but only one that i have found truely works, if you install the source:

blazeco.info/blaze.xml

then install the ultimate sources, then click on all packages......scroll down until you see the title Baseband Downgrader, click in any of these and it says that it will downgrade your baseband to 3.XX do this then restore your phone once again 1.1.1 then you will have a perfect 1.1.1 phone. then can start upgrading again.

It is best to start a fresh each time otherwise you can do something bad to the phone...a lot of my friends have been left phoneless and some extreme hardware issues, had to buy new phones.

Hope this helped and i didn't ramble and had nothing to do with what you ask....i do tend to ramble lol

Hi I really am hopefull of help from this forum, My iphone will not restore correctly, it goes through all the motions and then says itunes cannot activate because my sim is not supported. I bought the phone from ebay and it worked fine I then upgraded to version 2 and still it was fine and then about a week ago i think i must have upgraded again but this time it wont restore, when i buy the phone i think it is jailbroken and i use a 3 sim with a turbo sim, it worked fine. now it says to activate it needs a supported sim so I bought an o2 pay as you go sim but it says not supported. I dont think my phone is bricked but I cannot get it to work. Please please help if you can. Thank you
