Unjailbreak an iPhone
So you’ve decided that you want to reverse the jailbreak on your iPhone, no big deal. All jailbreaks are reversible. You can easily unjailbreak an iPhone by using the Restore functionality within iTunes, and then you can restore your apps, contacts ,and iPhone customization to the device as well.
It’s a two-stage process and you won’t lose any of your data except for the Cydia apps and anything related to the jailbreak itself (which is why you are undoing the jailbreak in the first place, right?).
How to Unjailbreak an iPhone
It is a simple process to undo a jailbreak on an iPhone (or iPod touch and iPad). Here are the exact steps to unjailbreak and then restore your iPhones data:
- Connect the jailbroken iPhone to your computer and open iTunes
- In the left iTunes column, select your iPhone
- Under the Summary tab, you’ll see a ‘Restore’ button – click this to start the unjailbreak process
- A message will pop up asking if you’d like to backup your iPhone, click yes and let the backup and restore process go
- Your iPhone will automatically restart itself when it is finished restoring, you will then be asked if you want to restore from backup – click Yes if you want to restore all your non-jailbreak related apps and iPhone customization to the iPhone
- When the backup and restore is complete, your jailbreak has been reversed and your iPhone is no longer jailbroken!
This process works the same on iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch, and even iPad, running any version of iPhone OS or iOS 4.
If you ever want to redo the jailbreak, JailbreakMe is an easy iPhone jailbreak that works for pre-iOS 4 and is done entirely on your iPhone through the Safari browser and requires no syncing to iTunes. Past iOS 4 you will want to use something like greenpois0n, limera1n, or pwnagetool. Reversing these is just as simple as any other unjailbreak process.
Note: If you have created custom IPSW firmware packages with something like PwnageTool, you will need to select a fresh IPSW file to restore to instead of the customized IPSW that was created by Pwnage. You can download iPhone firmware & IPSW files if this is the case.
So even if I made a backup while it was jailbreaked, if I restore from my latest backup, which I did when it was jailbreaked it will become unjailbreaked?
yes that’s how it works, you restore it will unjailbreak
Great, thank you!
Now I’m happy! 
so will i get to keep ,my wifi app cause it’s my internet for my computer
Well, no. If it’s a jailbroken app (which I’m assuming it is), you can’t keep it.
i went to itune to unjailbreak my phone but when i do the restore from itunes after it does this download thing then come up and say my internet has timed out but my internet never went out i get this from every computer i try this from why will it not let me restore
yea mee too im trying to get it to work now did you ever get it to work???
turn off firewall or antiviurs
Erase the iTunes on your computer and install it again.
same here how does it work???
When i try to restore, it tells me that “iPhone could not be restored because of an error….” I did download the 4.3.3 firmware which is what my iphone had. Any ideas. I try restoring to previous firmware with the same results. Maybe i’m missing something?
hi did you find a solution for this my phone is doing the same?
I got the same problem, can someone help with this ..
Same with mine. I had to get my iPhone re-jail broken because I could not access my phone.
I have the same problem too. I tried backup and update to IOS 5 or even restore. It gave me the error message! I have the same 4.3.3 firmware as well
It is because you have a jailbreak software on your computer… Delete what ever it is that you used then flushDNS on your computer… Look it up on YouTube for help
It doesn’t always work that way. I tried jailbreaking to see what all the hubbub was about. Every time I restored, then restored from the backup, there were still sometimes jailbreak apps, other times it was just parts, or ‘artifacts.’
The only 100% sure way is to just abandon all your old settings and what not from the backup, don’t restore from backup, start 100% from scratch.
For example, even if the tethering hack app, or the BT stack app is gone, parts of it can and will remain, interfering with the legitimate software and compromising the system.
Does this restore the warranty??
If you unjailbreak the iPhone properly and remove any traces of the jailbreak, there is no way to determine that the warranty was ever voided.
and is the process described here the correct way to erase all traces of the jailbreak
thanks!
can I unjailbreak it without losing my movies and music?
yes u will still have your music when u restore becouse its just backing ur iphone up
I need to unjailbreak without restoring. I’m trying to redo a jailbreak on my iphone 4 because something happend and cydia disappeared. now it wont let me rejailbreak using jailbreakme.com. I dont want to update to the new ios4.0.2. So what do I do now?
Well u could find the cydia deb file on the Internet. Download it from safari or ssh it into your phone. Then install it via ifile. Then you should get the cydia app on your home screen.
Here’s what I had to do
…since Itunes OVERWRITES the previous backup every time you to do a backup, instead of archiving
I (using TIME MACHINE on my MAC) restored an old backup I did the day before I did my jailbreak, then restored my iphone to that old pre-jailbreak backup. No problems.
Archiving? Do you know how much space it would suck up on your hard drive if Apple decided to ARCHIVE backups?! Good god.
I had a backup on itunes that was before I jailbroke it. I did a restore to it but it remains jailbroken. For some reason cydia is gone and i try to rejailbreak it using jailbreakme.com but all it does is crash on safari.
I would love to be able to restore my iphone but it wont even turn on it gets the little loading icon on the startup and then freezes everytime and when i connect it to itunes my iphone doesnt pop up it wont show that its connected. Do you know how to fix this?
just put it in DFU mode! i did it and it worked when i had the same problem
watched a you tube today, re: Iphone4 “unlocking” and warranty voiding. Short story was that apple records, with apple warranty service centers on a every 14 day bassis , the state of your Iphone’s content.
If you unlock, they know it. and your warranty is toasted, before it gets to the repair shop.
Can anyone confirm the accuracy of this possiblity
Totally untrue. Un-jailbreak your phone before showing up at the Genius Bar though… they won’t un-jailbreak it for you!
[...] void your warranty with Apple. If you have a jailbroke and unlocked device, it’s best to unjailbreak it before you take it into Apple for any kind of warranty service or [...]
what about the baseband unlock issues that emerged for 4.x?
i recall reports cautioning to wait until the 4.1 jailbreak was perfected so that it didnt irreversibly change the firmware (ie to impede unjailbreaking or de-unlocking).
i dont follow these details — so i will apreciate direct facts from anyone who actually KNOWS about the specific caution coming from the *sn0w world (and not just repeating urban legends, like me lol)
thanx.
What if the Restore doesn’t work and it says error and I tried everything apple told me to do but it won’t work!!!!
The same thing happen to me!!!!!
Noe I am just tryin to update it and see if that works!!
The same thing happened to me and I reckon the phone now is useless to me. I know this comment is old and I was just wondering what happened to your phone in the end?
Just wondering if I follow the advised process above whether I will lose all my emails and sms/texts?
Thanks!
[...] 2) Uninstall the Jailbreak Next you need to uninstall the jailbreak. We’ve covered how to undo a jailbreak before, but we’ll cover it again here in case you aren’t [...]
so if i jailbreak my phone and download free apps with installous then unjailbreak it will it keep the apps or delete them?
The apps downloaded from installous will be deleted
Not if you install AppSync from Cydia, it put’s them into iTunes as a purchase.
So if I use AppSync, but then unjailbreak my iphone, will I still have the unjailbroken apps and will they be functional?
Won’t ‘Restore’, goes thru the whole “Restore” process then error message pops up… iTunes says it can’t restore, error message information refers to Code 1015.
iPhone still opens to “Plug into iTunes” screen.
So how did u fix the issue that stop ur iphone from fully restore the firmware to ur iphone. could u please email me if u fix that problem ur iphone.
THANK U
Same problem here. what do u do if during recovery error 1015 says cant restore????
Did anyone manage to get passed this error and get the phone workable again?????? Seriously panicking!!!
what is the error?
The error is the same as I’m getting, a 1015 error to do with the version of the software being “reversed”.
I only wanted to do this to my 3G so it’d be unlocked from o2 to Vodafone, but it didn’t work and it turns out that o2 have agreed to do it anyway – now I can’t get the phone to be back to normal!
did you sort this problem out i’m trying but cant
I thought Limera1in did something to the hardware. Does a restore actually reverse the change? Will they be able to check it in an Apple store?
Does jail breaking have any effect on memory? I’m having trouble downloading tv shows from iTunes. Never had this problem before.
I don’t have the music on my computer anymore so is there anyway to unjailbreak it and still keep music ?
I bought a new iphone 4 and jailbreak it after i got home, all went well and my device is jailbroken, then i did a full restore, i just plug my iphone and hit restore and itunes ask me if i wanted a back up, since its new and dont have any data on it i just did a full restore and delete whatever is in the iphone, after the restore itunes ask me if i wanted to start fresh and so i did and voila! A fresh iphone but sadly itunes also update my iphone to the latest iOS 4.2.1 which doesnt have a legit jb atm so, im at apple’s iron grip atm till the next big thing in jailbreaks comes along, if u want a fresh iphone and no trace of jailbreak just do a full restore dont back up, just re add what have been deleted and start from scratch, jope this helps peace…
does now:) lol redsn0w works magic!!!!
I just can’t get out of “exit safe mode” I’ve tryed everything..
Help!!
by mistake I have removed cydia from my i-phone 4G now, i want to uninstall limeran1 from my phone..plz someone guide me…what to do…
So Ive tried to acsess cydia a couple times on my ipod and it loads up then crashes immediently. Should I restore my ipod then re-JB it? It really hasnt done this till lately so i deleted a few of my most recent downloads and that didnt help
I tried to restore my iPhone because it won’t connect to iTunes anymore and I want to download songs but I can’t because I keep getting error message 3194 every time I try to restore it. Please help me.
Can i unjailbreak by restoring my ipad and still keep all of the not free apps that i downloaded with appcake? Or do i lose them?
My phone is jailbroken, but its not a full jailbreak. The fact that is I have 4.2.1 software, so It means I can’t turn off my iphone at all. Since jailbreaking it, some apps have stopped working, such as angry birds and also safari. All very annoying. I want to do a full restore, but just worry, that in doing it i might do some harm. As I am not meant to turn my phone off. Can anyone help? please
Im having the same exact problem. I regret jailbreaking in the first place because of the headache. Now im running into the problem that the iphone wont even let me do the restore.
Dad???
LOL! This is what happens when people that need to buy electronic devices that “just work” and tinker with them! LOL! Good luck un-bricking your $700 paper weights! If you don’t know what you’re doing, you probably shouldn’t be dabbling in the hacking department! Good luck!
I don’t know who you are but you will get what you should do worng and it comes back to x10
what are you even talking about
my iphone is jailbroke and unlocked. i want to restore it and un jailbreak it with itunes so i can update it. my sim is BT so wont work when phone locked to o2.
Basically i want to know if unjailbreaking my phone will also overwrite the unlock?
any info would be great.
I have did the whole restore setting in iTunes but Cydia is still on My iPhone4 can someone guide me thru on how to take this off completely?
Ok I wanna kno if I do this will my iPhone will stay at 3.1.2 or update??
I would love to be able to restore my ipod 4G but it wont even turn on it gets the little loading icon on the startup and then freezes everytime and when i connect it to itunes, my ipod doesnt pop up it wont show that its connected. Do you know how to fix this? (its Tethered).
I’m having this as well when i tried some changes in the General Settings of my iPhone.
Now, I can’t even unjailbreak it.
May I know how did you fix yours?
Have you tried putting it into DFU Mode and letting itunes pick up the flack!
can you restore it on the phone itself?
By these ‘artifacts’ left behind I can give some small examples of what I have noticed, I used mim (make it mine) to edit my carrier and banner, when I restored they remained some of my jailbroken apps remained as well of some items in settings
Will i lose my music?
Hi, my friend jailbroke my phone last night but it wiped EVERYTHING and reset all the settings i had, i’ve tried SOOOO many things, but it wont sync or restore original settings (by phone or pc) even when i put it in both of the ‘modes’ holding buttons down to do it…nothing is working! Me and my friend searched the internet for 2 hrs trying to figure out how to UN-jailbreak it last night after spending a few hours previous trying to jailbreak it. I’ve read loads on how to undo it but nothing has worked so far, any ideas?
What if you can’t access the internet through the computer on which you jailbreak your phone with? And the jailbreak is tethered? My computer is on the verge of a breakdown, and from what I’ve read, the reason my internet no longer works is another one of the symptoms of my darned HP laptop. Apparently the wireless chip or something got burned, which makes sense since my laptop overheats all the time.
Oh, and I’m referring to restoring your iPhone back to factory settings… I want to get rid of my jailbreak.
I have a jail broken i phone, and the last time i restored it through i tunes twice with out un jail breaking it i lost 500 mb. both times……. is there another way to un-jailbreak it with out syncing it to itunes? and wit out losing 500 mb? my 16 gb iphone is now a 14.23 gb iphone. :-/
Your iPhone has always been a 14.23 GB phone. The other 1.77 GB is the iPhone software and apps that come with the phone when you get it.
Stephanie is correct, no iPhone or iPod is exactly 8GB or 16GB o whatever.
If you unjailbreak it, can you put on the apps that you downloaded for free from installous
No, applications you’ve stolen/pirated/cracked don’t work on unjailbroken devices.
i’m just curious, because i’m considering purchasing a jailbroken iphone from craigslist, whether or not restoring changes the unlocked status of the phone. i’m a tmobile user and am interested in an unlocked 3g, but am concerned that i wouldn’t be able to connect to my itunes without running the risk of losing all use of the phone.
I want to restore my iphone 4 because I lost cydia. When I try to restore itunes wants to update to IOS 4.3. I don’t want 4.3 I want to keep 4.2. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I just did the following… now my iphone won’t restore and get out of “safety mode.” i think i’m completely screwed

i did a full reset on my iphone 4 to undo a jailbreak.
and now its stuck on the load screen with the green poison symbol how do i fix this and undo the jailbreak correct
Does this work in 4.2.1?
will i have my messages and pictures when i restore my iphone or will them dissapere?
Yes you will lose everything. But Just back it up before you do so and you won’t. the only thing you might lose are your messages, not sure about that.
I’m having trouble with this method. When I click Restore iTunes wants to update firware to 4.3 (I am running 4.2). When download of 4.3 starts I get an error 3259 (network connection timed out). Is this because Cydia does not let Apple
(prematurely clicked Submit)
…Cydia does not let Apple contact the device properly? Does anyone know of a fix? Please help. Thank you.
You could be calling Sauriks Server instead of Apple,
Check out your cert if it has #gs.apple (whatever whatever) remove the #. And you should be good to go! if not google your error code’ GOOGLE is your friend. GL
If I jailbreak then sync, then restore, then back up from my jailbroken sync will it have any traces?
Yes It will in some way. Use A different Backup.
For all people having trouble restoring, put the iPhone into DFU mode instead of straight-away hitting restore in iTunes.
Yeah? What if I SYNCHRONIZED it long ago, and I bought many apps after backup, and I jailbroke my iPod without backuping?
Many LEGAL apps
I have done what you told me to do – but I got the message that I have to download another instance of i-tunes before proceeding because the phone is locked…
what to do now?
I am in the middle of the process
so it’s not really as simple as all that
ooooppssss
I haven’t started another instance ofcourse – but went head reconnected my iphone(4).
All is well and okay now – sorry I panicked
will un-jailbreaking my iphone delete all the apps i downloaded from installous during the jailbreak?
Removing the jailbreak removes all apps that were downloaded from Cydia and that require a jailbreak to run
even the ones i had to pay for?
I bought a used jailbroken 3g iPhone and now when I try to download some apps it says iPhone 4 something version software required, so can I undo it? Btw I I had iPhone before (which I broke obviously) and my laptop has iTunes synced to my previous iPhone, so can I still undo by hitting restore button, will I lose my songs, contact details? I just want to undo this and upgrade the latest software
Isnt it easier to just update to the same ios you have in your device than restoring it? Isnt it just to press shift on windows and hold and then press look for updates? Then you should be able to get the same ios as you have and it should be syncing your device so it is exactly is it was before getting the ios again but all jailbrake be gone? Just a theory, does it works?
Just wanted to point out to a few people.. If Cydia crashes right after loading it make sure you are booted tethered through redsn0w unless you have an untethered jailbreak then ignore this.
i wanna know if any of my pictures or messages will disapear??? especially ones in photo
vault???
all pictures, and videos and music were gone but if saved on a computer nothing is lost
so i bought this phone that was already jailbroken….i wish to unjail break it, but i am worried that if i do it wont work on my network…does it work that way? i mean it uses sim card, but any other phone that i have purchased “used” were locked and i had to pay to get them to work for my network…does the iphone work that way also? cuz if so i am just going to leave it jail broken….
I have never synced my iphone 4 to any computer and i have taken it to a store to jailbreak it. Now i want to unjailbreak my phone. Will syncin and restoring it remove my text messages??
If I unjailbreak(restore) wouldnt my phone require unlocking again. Cos i had to jailbreak and then unlock before it discovered network.
what about warranty?
I have a JB Iphone 4, I never sync the phone to my itunes account. I got tired of the JB and wanted the newest IOS so I went into settings and used the restore feature. I am now stuck on the apple screen of death lol I have gotten to the point where I can connect it to the computer and do a restore. My question is, the message that pops up when I click on restore is, it says something about restoring to previous version and checking with apple etc. Is this the way I should do it since I never synced the phone to Itunes and it was JB before freezing on apple screen?
Did you ever get an answer to this question?? I’m in the same boat..
DOWNLOAD TinyUmbrella that should sort ur prob buddy
So…the problem is..I jailbraked my iPod 4 and then i accidentaly erased all contents (from settings menu) and it died…so i tried to restore the ipod but it wouldnt turn on it’s stuck on the apple logo…I used limera1n to jb it. What can I do? I dont want to jb ir again i just want the latest iOs…help!
I’m having this problem now.
How did you fix that?
Soo i unjailbreaked my iphone 4 and when it was hooked up it said my iphone was overheating and it exploded.
Wait, your iphone exploded? Like, physically exploded? Crap, you’re screwed. whatever you do, unless you know what you’re doing, DO NOT touch it.
i jail broke my ipod and it says plug into itunes but after the jailbreak itunes wont work i tried putting it into recovery mode but that doesnt work either oh yeah on itunes it says i dont have internet connection even when the ipod isnt plugged in idk whet to do does anyone know thank you
what if my iphone is not being restored it says it can restore and to try again but i keep trying and it wont resstore it just stays in the blue itunes icon and the pic of the usb cable
Every time i go on itunes to restore it it says my iphone is not eligible to restore
It says it cant be restored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would anybody want to unjailbreak anyway? it makes the device capable of soooo much more!
I contracted with T-mobile for an iphone 4, and it was jailbreak. I don’t know why my iphone turn off automaticlly when I was listening to music. It happened 4,5 times and I had to turn it on. Now, I want to bring it to Apple store to ask them change a new one. My phone still have warranty until November. So, Do I need to restore it at home before bringing it to Apple store?
Yup ya do’ And make sure ya do it right’cause Apple is well suspect. ATB
I currently have a jailbroken 3GS. After waiting months and months for iPhone 5 I was gutted to see the iPhone 4s looked exactly like the iPhone 4. However, I decided to get the 4s on a 12month contract and wait for iPhone 5 (fingers crossed for a design change). Anyway I wanted to know if I need to unjailbreak my 3GS before getting 4s on Friday? Surely I don’t need to do this as it’s not been jailbroken very long and everything had been recently updated/restored? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you plan on syncing your 4S with the content from the 3GS, you will lose jailbroken apps. For that reason, it may be a good idea to unjailbreak before upgrading.
Wow, quick response. Okay this is were I’m a novice. I had previously jail broken my phone then unjailbroke it. It bricked and had to restore it. So as far as my iTunes goes that has everything I want on it. All unjailbreak apps and all my music. Once I get the 4s I will jus plug it into my pc to get it started. Therefore I can’t see that I’d need to unjailbreak my 3GS as I won’t be updating or using it?
Thanks for your advice.
Correct, as long as iTunes has all of your backups, you can just sync your new iPhone 4S to iTunes and transfer all your data over. No need to mess with any jailbreak stuff.
Thanks for your help Matt. It seems like to much effort for a phone I won’t be using. I guess once my new phone is set up I can’t unjailbreak my 3GS if I was to sell it on or give it to someone as that iTunes account will be used on my new phone.
After your 4S is setup, you can unjailbreak the 3GS and format it so that you can sell it or give it to someone else, that will remove your iTunes account and all other data from the phone.
it is showing an 1015 error what should i do for that?
so would installous app be deleted too?
Yup it would uninstall cydia, winter board and Installous
My iPhone is jail broke but the phone is an orange network but iam o2 see if I I unjailbreak it will it go back to orange?
What if there is an error in the restoring process?
I have a JB iphone 3gs with 4.3.3, problem is it doesnt show up under my computer or in itunes. i dont want to a factory restore because i need to back up my notes, contacfts etc., anyone know what i can do?
I have a jailbroke iphone 4 with 4.3.5 and i dont want the jailbreak anymore but i tried to restore it on itunes and it says error (3194) How can i get the error to go away? Help!
Is it safe to restore my jailbroken iphone with itunes? ’cause I want to install ios5.
I have a 3g, 3.1.2. and it’s jailbroken.
I want to restore it. If I do this, will I lose any photos or contacts?
Also I called Apple, they will not answer any questions due to my JB. But he did warn me that there is a very good chance if I try to restore my phone, it could be “bricked” and basically beyond repair.
Any thoughts?
For a start “Unlucky for you’a 3G slowww!” No you wont lose photos or contacts on a restore. Now your the kinda of person that goes and f**ks it for everyone asking Apple about jailbreaks. Did ya expect them to do it for ya or put ya on to a cpl of good Cydia tweaks you numbnut. Apple talk shizit ofcoare you can restore yer iphone 3g without worry of it being bricked. Its a widley used fruit company scare tactic and a great way to sell you a new iphone.
i’m confused. do you loose all of your stuff or does it go back after the restore because you backed it up?
so i followed all instructions and put my sim card back in and it says my sim can not be read….what now?!?!
Iphone 4 jailbroken

Please help!
Can you restore an iPhone to unjailbreak it but will your phone stay unlocked if it’s unlocked
wait a minute.

and if u reload it will it still have all my contacts and my settings?
Will restoring iphone affect my phone contract in any way? like will i have to pay for texts or anything?
Does anyone know if unjailbreaking a phone will restore the pre-jailbreak baseband?
Can you help? I have a jailbroken phone and want to restore to update to iOS 5, but when I click restore it loads halfway and then an error (3194) comes out saying that the restore failed. I’ve checked the apple site, it says 3194 happens because my iTunes isn’t the latest version, but I’m positive mine is. Anything you know about this?
My brother stole my iPod and jailbroke it, and now the whole thing is screwed up. I really have no idea how to do any of this stuff. I plugged it into my laptop and tried to connect it to iTunes, but it just froze on the loading screen. How do I fix this!?!
There isn’t much you can do i dont think, a full system restore will delete everything and start again, but none of your old stuff will be there…
So I did this and it came up with error 3194. What should I do?
I tried to unjailbreak my phone by clicking restore but it keeps tellin me it can’t and my firmware is not supported what can I do???????

my Ipod (4th generation) was jailbroken and now is unjailbroken and now when i go to connect to itunes and sync, it sits at backup. I think my backup file is gone how to i create a new one?
I have a JB 3g that I’m using as a backup since my 3gs crapped out on me. The problem is that I’m trying to sync it to my Itunes and load my previous backup onto it but can’t. So far, I’ve manually loaded my music and apps but I want my contacts and everything on there as well. The last time that I got a new iPhone, when I connected it to Itunes, it asked me if I wanted to replace all the info and make it my new phone…or something to that effect. It’s not doing that this go round. It just says “iPhone”. Also, my computer is not connected to the interenet. I’m living out of a camper right now and cannot connect. (No jokes please:)
form me its not working coz in my phone its saying NO SERVICE what can i do and even in my itune its telling SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS I PHONE DOES NOT APPEARS TO SUPPORT
I did a back up before jailbreaking.Do I need to back up again when prompted after i click restore?
nevermind i figured it out……the point of backing up before jailbreak is for cases where you need to restore your phone. So dont click back up when prompted after you click restore…IF and only IF you have a pre jailbreak back up to restore to
I would just like to know, will the whole tethering scheme be removed? Another words, will I be able to return to the normal setting where I can power the device back on without connecting it to my computer?
Yes, unjailbreaking an iPhone returns it to its default state.
I restored my ipod touch but wheen it backed up everything was erased… pls help!

I want to unjailbreak my iPod, but I don’t have a computer, can I unjailbreak it without a computer and still keep all my stuff??
You need a computer and iTunes to unjailbreak
Hey, i have an iphone 3gs with the ipad baseband, running 4.2.1. I know from ecperience that you cant just push restore, or shift restore, or a DFU resore, or even a pwnd DFU resore without sending it into the restore mode loop. This is where the iphone gets the sync witb itunes screen whenever you turn it on, and itunes says that it detects an iphone in resore mode, but gives you an error message whenever trying to take it out. When i did this, i gave it to a friend to fix, and i have no idea how he did it, but it used to run 4.3.3, not 4.2.1. I really want to upgrade to ios 5, but i dont for fear of putting it in this restore mode loop thing again. Any suggestions on how to do this?
i dont recomend to upgrade to iOS 5, it runs a little bit slow on 3GS, i did that and i downgrade to 4.3.3.
but i hope someone will tell me if restoring will restore the baseband to factory and fix the GPS and Notification problems.
That depends. If you are resoring it to a previously made backup, then i would think that you would retain whatever data you had during the last backup. If you are starting from scratch, then obviosly not. Also, if any of tjese apps were downloaded from installous, then they will be deleted with the other jailbreak stuff.
