The version of PwnageTool that you use is entirely dependent on which iOS you want to install on the iPhone 3GS. So play around with this some more and let me know how it goes! The 1015 error became my worst enemy when I was trying to solve this problem. I've never been an expert on iPhone Jailbreaking since I never like to do it myself, but it was the only way to get this iPhone to boot again. I may or may not be able to help with everything. I know this is an extremely cursory set of instructions, and I would be happy to elaborate further. I was able to get that iPhone running again. It's an older app from what I understand, but I'd give it a shot. I know that you say a custom Firmware won't work, but my friend's iPhone was doing the exact same thing until I used PwnageTool. Once it's in DFU mode, you can go to iTunes, and hold down alt and click on "Restore." Then you choose your newly built custom Firmware. If not, you gotta keep looking for the right one).Īfter you lead it through the steps of making your own Firmware, you have to restart the iPhone in DFU mode. It will tell you whether or not it likes a Firmware that you choose. Set PwnageTool to Expert Mode, and select your downloaded Firmware. You've got to download the appropriate iPhone 3GS Firmware from somewhere online that corresponds to the version of PwnageTool that you got. You'll forevermore need to use custom Firmware, which you should make with PwnageTool.įrom what little I know, you probably already did all of this, but I'm just gonna write down what I did, since it actually worked. There will be no way to actually restore it to Apple's original Firmware, I don't think. You're problem is EXACTLY like the one that a friend's iPhone 3G was having when he asked me to fix it.
