Hello!
I've had my iphone 3GS since it was released, and it went through quite a lot of changes. Lately I've decided to try iOS 6 out of boredom. I downloaded the IPSW over the phone, and tried to install it. I was successful, but then I got stuck at activating my phone probably due to it being unlocked on previous versions of iOS. So I tryed to downgrade to 5.1.1., but to do that I had to put it in DFU mode. Since my power button doesn't really work(have to press it hard to register), and holding it for 10 seconds so that it registers is almost impossible it took me a whole day to get the DFU button combination right(estimating around 100 reboots). After I did that I put it in 'pwned DFU' mode via redsn0w, and/or iReb(maybe simultaneously), and tryed to restore to 5.1.1.. I got the 1601 error. When I tryed to restore the official iOS I'd get and 3194 or 1600 error. As far as redsn0w is indicating my phone is in 'soft DFU', and I can't get it to work. It's just a black screen, and doesn't react to any button combination or anything.
TL;DR: Phone won't restore to official iOS, or downgrade with use of redsn0w/tinyumbrella host hacks. Redsn0w says it's in 'soft DFU'. Phone in constant black screen, doesn't react to any button combination or anything.
I've had my fair share of iPhone stuck in some error/loop problems, but I've always been able to fix them. Need help seriously.
