To recover your blackra1n-jailbroken iPhone 3GS with 3.1.2 after applying Firmware 3.1.3 app after it stops booting using blackra1n:

1) turn your iPhone OFF completely
2) while iPhone is OFF – hold the HOME button and connect it to your computer using standard cable while keep holding the HOME button
3) keep holding HOME button and wait till your iPhone switched back ON and till you get the “connect to iTunes” logo
4) release the HOME button
5) QUIT the iTunes if it was running or just started after it recognized you iPhone and offer to restore it
6) run and apply “blackra1n” as usual
7) be patient and WAIT till it reboots you iPhone
run Firmware 3.1.3.app again and chose to spoof back to 3.1.2 – DO NOT UNINSTALL IT AT THIS STAGE
9) REBOOT using blakra1n as usual

DONE! Your now should be fine using your blackrain-jailbroken iPhone 3GS on 3.1.2 firmware as before applying above described “trick” using Firmware 3.1.3 app

this will only work with spoofed 3.1.3, not the actual 3.1.3 firmware on iPhone 3GS ONLY

it does work, but once your iphone is bricked u can't restore to 3.1.2 but only to 3.1.3. wich ruins your jailbreak and unlock.

Thanks ffs you bricked my 1 year old 3gs

shut ur fone off, hold home and plug it in while holding home, once u get the connect to itunes logo, let the home button go and run black rain, this will only work with spoofed 3.1.3, not the actual 3.1.3 firmware on 3gs only

blackra1n will NOT work with USB 1.0. Make sure that you hook up the cable to a USB 2.0 so that the boy face shown can go away and finish what it needs to do. I happened to me once and i got it fixed. Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me if having applied this 3.1.3 spoof, I can now do a “Restore” in iTunes safely, or will this simply load 3.1.3 onto my phone and bust my jailbreak?

So this wont affect current apps from cydia that are not working with 3.1.3? If the phone thinks you have the new o.s. wont that cause conflict with cydia apps?
