Hi
Read with interest this thread, and tried to follow it but to no avail. Am having issues with my son’s iPod 4G due to jailbreaking / unjailbreaking, wonder if you can help me.
It had IOS 4.3.3 when it was jailbroken round about Nov 2011. Unfortunately he did not save the SHSH blogs, and after it was connected to iTunes, something has gone wrong, and the device is unusable now, cannot bring it up in any form. Unfortunately I do not know whatever he had done before I got involved to try to fix it.
Have tried to re-jailbreak with Redsnow, and also not working, i.e. the process starts but ends up in an error. Have also reconnected to iTunes with shift/restore for 4.3.3 and 4.3.1 restores, but no joy. Have read a lot, and followed what is described, but not helping. E.g. like update of the hosts file (am on Windows XP)
With TinyUmbrella, I see the device 1114116 (with ? in front of these numbers (recovery device), with my daughters iPod I see the actual device name), but says “The device is NOT connected”. I have also entered the ECID manually (retrieved with UVCView). The "Exit Recovery" button is active, and on this one it says "The device is connected".
Have also attempted with iFaith, but no results.
In iTunes (10.5.2.11), I see 2 backups, the earlier one for “m’s iPod” (which is the correct device name), and a later one for “iPod” (part of the name missing)
My preference is to get the device back to unjailbreaked status. Would appreciate any tips you can offer, thanks
