I've still not seen any proof that you have a valid 4.3.3 SHSH saved. Without this you cannot ever restore 4.3.3
If you open TinyUmbrella and click "Show all SHSHs" it should list a 4.3.3 SHSH blob for your device (you may need to manually verify that the ECID is identical)

If you don't have this SHSH you can't restore to 4.3.3 and your desperate attempts to get around this hardware restriction are just making things worse.
My iPhone 4 used to be 4.1 BB 02.10.04, and I wanted to upgrade to 4.3.3 so I installed the sn0wbreeze v.2.7 and I built the custom IPSW and I restore it on iTunes with TU and iReb help and finally I got the file restored then I opened the redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc15 and I picked up the offical apple custom firmware (iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore) then I choose "Install Cydia" and "Allow Boot animation" then I did the same steps but finally I picked up "Just boot tethered right now" then I opened the iTunes and I found my iPhone was restored and detected with the new 4.3.3 version as you see in the picture attached, which shows that everything looks normal but the weird thing that my screen is deadly black and I can't figure out what's the problem although everything on iTunes is normal; I can add apps, pics, sync contacts but finally the screen still black.
to summarize, everything is normal on iTunes only but on the iPhone its completely dead giving a black screen. PLEASE HELP!!!!!ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
Just boot tethered now will NOT (by itself) fix your phone. If you want your phone working again, then you are (mostly) going down the wrong path.Quote:

I've merged your two threads (there was no need to create a second thread) and am starting to get frustrated that you don't seem to grasp that you need to start with answering the question: "What SHSH blobs do I have that are personalized for this phone?" answering this question will allow you to determine which iOS version you can restore to.
what do you I should do now?
Do you mean that the only chance I have got is to upgrade to 4.3.5?
If you have tried to save SHSH blobs (via iFaith and via TinyUmbrella) and the only blob you have is a 4.3.5 blob, then yes - that is your ONLY option.Quote:

so there still a chance if I used these two S/Ws correct?. can you tell me how to use them by stating in steps
iFaith doesn't really need any instructions.Quote:

Use the search function, it's easier than me repeating myself. This has been explained before.
oh god...i to have the samy problem i am getting only black screen when i connect it to itunes it is show ur in dfu mode...i tried using redsnow tiny umberalla etc etc.,.but no use...and in tiny umbrella it showin shsh as 4.3.5 ... does it mean tht it is compulsory to restore 4.3.5...aftr restoring can i jailbreak my i4 and use normally???
If you have NEVER saved your SHSH blobs previously (and iFaith doesn't work) then you are limited to restoring iOS versions Apple are still signing restores for. (currently iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 5 betas)Quote:

I think this should have the way to solve it.
