![]() You will now need to activate your iPhone 4. To activate it the correct way you will want to put whatever sim card the iPhone is locked to in and start iTunes. Most iPhone are locked to AT&T so put in any AT&T sim in to activate. RedSn0w will hacktivate if you did not activate officially in step 10: If you do not have a sim to activate we will use RedSn0w to Hacktivate.ġ1. Redsn0w_0.9.6rc12: (current version as of writing this)ġ2. Once you are done following the RedSn0w instuctions you will have Cydia on your iPhone’s home screen. Launch Cydia, do all of the updates and then install the UltraSn0w package to unlock. You will also want to download our T-Mobile MMS fix if you are on T-Mobile.But the nagging larger question was: why was this still happening? Last time, I determined that the cause was a redirect line (74.208.10.249 gs.) added to the /etc/hosts file. I blamed myself for its presence, noting that I had added the line during some research I was doing and had probably forgotten to remove it when I was done with the task. It turns out that I had remembered to delete the problematic line. What really happened was that a new copy of the line had been re-added to the hosts file, without my knowledge and behind my back, via the TinyUmbrella application. TinyUmbrella is a Mac application that can store SHSH files associated with each iOS version for your iOS device. With these data preserved, TinyUmbrella can later restore your iOS device to an older version of the iOS (something that is otherwise impossible to do in Tunes with any recent iOS hardware). Most people will never need to do an iOS downgrade. Still (as I have written about previously), there are situations where it can come in handy. That’s why, as a matter of routine, I launch TinyUmbrella prior to doing an iOS upgrade, to make sure that I have all recent SHSH files stored. This TinyUmbrella launch was the precipitating cause of my 1013 error. For a downgrade to work, a redirect line must be added to the hosts file the added line forces a connection to a Cydia server rather than Apple’s server. It turns out that, after launching and quitting TinyUmbrella, even if you perform no action at all, the application adds the redirect line to the hosts file. This in turn leads to the 1013 error when you next attempt to upgrade the iOS in iTunes.
