Just wanted to say that i updated the host file and this did work. I’m on Vista and although i am an adminstrator on my account, i had to open word pad as an administrator (right click when opening word pad) to save the addition to the host file.

next time itunes allowed 3.1.2 to install without the error message.

Robert Jackson – thanks for this.

The Apple server is blocking the install. You need to trick iTunes into thinking the install is authorized.

On a Mac, go to /etc/hosts.
On a PC, go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
Open the file in a text editor (Administrator for Windows Vista/7) and add the following entry at the bottom of the file: 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
Save the file, close the editor, verify that the change was written by reopening the file, close again and THEN try to install.

Turn off “automatically open downloaded file” (or something like that) under preferrence=>general. Safari will then leave it alone.

Guys I have downloaded this with google chrome and it is only 1 file. it is named: iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw

Now when I try to restore or update with Shift + Click it will say that it will not do it because ” the device isn’t eligible for the requested build” :S

I mean it is only 1 file which it has to be so I do not need to rejoin it with anything and it should work right ?

Tell me if I am doing something wrong. Current phone: iPhone 3GS 32GB Black running 3.1.3

Thanks for your attention,

XeqtR

no one mentions iTunes because they’ve already had problems downloading it on there, or are given a newer update that doesnt allow easy unlocking so they searched the Internet and found this page dummy! We dont want the iTunes update, or we may want it but iTunes wont let us have it. Dont ask dumb questions.

Why has no one mentioned I-Tunes?
Tha fastest and easiest way to update Your I-Phone is to download and set up I-tunes on Your PC. With I-Tunes open, just plug in Your I-Phone and it automatically asks if You want to update.
