I get error 1600 while trying restore.. I put it into DFu mode then into pwned dfu mode and try to restore to orginal firmware.. still error 1600 I tried putting it into pwned dfu mode and custom firmware.. still error 1600. I tried dling the firmware from itunes, still error 1600.. need help pls
Rename the "hosts" file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc to "hosts.bak" Update iTunes to the latest Reboot your computer Enter Pwned DFU mode Click Restore in iTunes (don't select an IPSW) This will work. If not, try on a different computer.
I tried that on 2 different computers, i would either get 1600-1603 depending if im using sn0wbreeze ipsw, or the one i dled directly from apple.. i went into pwn dfu mode with ireb, redsn0w doesn't support mc model of 2g so i couldnt use that. pls help thx.
Both times you didn't select an IPSW, you just clicked Restore without holding SHIFT? That is what you need to do. Try on more computers if you can...
i've tried both, holding shift and just clicking restore.. i usually get error 1600-1604.. maybe something is wrong with my host files.. plz help? heres my host files Code: # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost
When there is a #, it comments out the line. In your case all the hosts file is going to do is cause you problems. This is why I advised you to rename it to hosts.bak, so iTunes doesn't have a problem with SHSH blobs. I think you are having a problem with either IPSW corruption or hardware failure. The easiest way to solve the IPSW corruption is to try having iTunes download a fresh IPSW from Apple, on different computers. I would advise you to try restoring from DFU and Recovery Mode on as many computers as you can. If you get a 16xx error every time, you have a hardware problem.
a hardware failure on my ipod or my computer? and i tried that but my host files never created a new one..
The computer does not create a new hosts file, which is what we want. If you try many computers and get the same result, that would mean a hardware failure of the iPod.
Crap.. is there a way to fix hardware failure? :{ WEll, the thing is, also is that i managed to get it into DFU mode using that restore with editting the hex code and it loaded completely with no errors until the end and it got me into dfu mode..
There is no reason why that wouldn't work to get you into DFU mode, but it won't help with restoring. Have you tried Recovery Mode?
