Hi, this is Luke from GuideMyJailbreak.com. And today, I'm going to be showing you how
to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in iTunes. The key difference between this
video and the other restore video I did is that this video is explaining how to restore
to the same firmware. So let's, for example, say you're on 4.3.3, and you've already jailbroken;
but, you want to restore your phone back to 4.3.3 and not update it. This is how you do it.
It's pretty simple. There's a few things you
want to note, though. The first thing is you want to make sure that you transfer all your
purchased applications to your computer. So, to do that, go ahead and right click on your
device. And then click 'Transfer Purchases'. This will take a few seconds to transfer your
apps. Another thing you want to make sure to do is to sync your device. So go ahead
and click that 'Sync' button and that will back up your device as well. The next thing
you want to grab is your photos. We're going to show you how to do the Mac or PC. We're
Mac then, so Mac's up first. If you have PC, go ahead and skip the Mac part to the PC part.
If you're on a Mac, go ahead and minimize iTunes. Click on the 'Spotlight' button. Type
in 'image capture' and then click enter. Okay, so from here, you can import your photos.
Go ahead and go down to 'Import To' and then click 'Other' and then click 'Desktop'.
And then you can create a new folder and name it whatever you want to. Then click 'Choose',
then just click 'Import All'.
And then you'll see there is check marks and that means that
the pictures have been imported successfully. Now, if you go to your Desktop, you'll see
that the pictures are there.
Okay, so now it's Windows' turn. The process
is relatively the same for most versions of Windows. For this example, I'm going to be
using Windows XP. When you plug in your device, this window should pop up. If it doesn't,
I'll explain how to get to it later. Once the window pops up, go ahead and click 'Next'.
And then select the pictures that you want to download to your computer. Then click 'Next'.
And then you can choose where you want the pictures to download to. So click on 'Browse'
and then for me, I'm going to click 'Desktop' and then 'Create New Folder'. You name it.
And then just click 'OK'. Then click 'Next'. And now you'll see another window that shows
you that the pictures are being imported. You can check nothing and then click 'Next'.
Then just click 'Finish' and you're done. And here you'll see the pictures have been
downloaded on to your computer. If that pop up didn't originally pop for you.
Go ahead and click on 'Start', 'My Computer'. Then double click on your Apple iPod or iPhone
or iPad. And then you'll see the pictures right there. So just select them and then
just drag them to your desktop.
And you'll see that they're transferring right now.
When that's done, they're on your computer and you're ready to go to the next step.
Okay, so go ahead and open back up iTunes. And check out your 'Software Version'. Write
this down or remember that number. Close iTunes and open back up our website. Okay, so here's
where it gets a little bit different. Go ahead and click on that firmware download website
link and find the firmware that you have on your device. This is the same number that
we just told you to write down. Next to the firmware tells you what device it is. So just
choose your firmware and device. So for me, I have the iPod Touch 4.3.3. So go ahead and
click on your version and that will download. Either close that tab or click the back button
to go back to our website. Okay, so the next step is to download and install TinyUmbrella.
I'm going to show you how to do that on Mac and a PC. Mac's up first, so if you have a PC,
skip to the PC part.
Now you need to download TinyUmbrella for your Mac.
So click on the link and then open it.
Next, click 'Continue', and then 'Continue', and then 'Agree'.
And then click on 'Install for all users in your computer', and then 'Continue', and then 'Install'.
And then you need to type in your password,
or click enter if you don't have a password. And then click on 'Install Software'.
It'll take a few seconds to install. And then you're done.
Now, click on the Finder icon on your dock. It looks like this. Then you click on Applications.
Then you press the 'T' button on your keyboard, and then it'll take you to the T's. And then
double click on TinyUmbrella. Now you can close out the Finder and you'll see a loading
window and you successfully installed TinyUmbrella on your Mac. Just click 'OK'. And then 'OK'.
Okay, so now for Windows. Go ahead and download TinyUmbrella for Windows.
Click on 'Run', 'Run'. And then you'll see a loading window and you're done. Click OK 3 times.
And then you're ready for the next step.
Okay, so for your next step, you need to click on your device. Click on 'Advanced'. And then
uncheck where it says 'Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit'. Now click on 'General'. And then
'Save SHSH'. It'll say that your device is connected and have a loading bar. And when
that's done, your SHSH have been saved.
Okay, so now, make sure that the firmware
you're restoring to is listed above. And then lastly, click on 'Start TSS Server'. It will
quit iTunes and indicate that TinyUmbrella is running. Now go back to your browser and
make sure that that file that you downloaded earlier is finished. Once it's finished, open
back up iTunes. Now, when you're back in iTunes, on Windows, you're going to hold on the Shift
key; on Mac, you're going to hold on the Option key, and then click 'Restore'. You should
see this pop up and now navigate to the file you downloaded earlier. Click on it and click 'Open'.
Just note, when you click on 'Restore', this will remove everything from your device.
If you backed everything up like we showed you, then you'll easily be able to put everything
back on that you had before. Now, if you're ready, just hit 'Restore'. And now iTunes
will do its thing and restore your device. When it's done, just choose 'Restore from
Backup' and then choose your backup and everything will be put back on your device.
One other thing to note is that if you're taking this into the Apple Store, and you
want them to have no way of knowing that you jailbroke, then choose 'Set up as a new device'.
The downside of this is that all your text messages won't automatically be put back on
your phone. But you can still sync all your apps back and your music and everything else,
contacts, all that stuff. Just your text messages won't be put back on.
