Been trying for a while using different methods, not having much luck. I have several SHSH blobs saved, including 4.1 and 4.2.1 for a 3GS.

It's currently restored to 4.1, but I can't get past the activation screen in iTunes. I've tried several sim cards, including ones from a carrier that I'm certain it initially was purchased through.

I was trying to use pwnage tool on OSX to create an activated ipsw, but pwnage tool kept getting an error when at the step of choosing the ipsw "Wrong firmware bundle selected" (I've been trying by pointing to the official 3GS 4.1 ipsw.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks...

^No, I wasn't.

Figured it out though, was using the wrong version of Pwnage Tool. I was able to get the correct one to built a pre-activated ipsw.

Working now...
