Hi Svela,
Yes it keeps complaining in iTunes that this is the build is not meant for the requested device. Confused

Sure you got the right firmware and the right IP in your hosts-file?

My hosts file is already pointing to the ip of gs.apple.com

Thats the whole point - it should NOT point to apple, but to Cydia

Ooops, what is the ip for Cydia then? I am actually using this one: 74.208.105.171 which I think its correct.

I really appreciate this community for helping out. Guess what? Today, it worked!!!!! What I did was to download a fresh copy of the ipsw, no changes in the steps described. You guys rock and thanks again for looking out for me. Laugh

Ya since Apple's signing 4.2.1 again iTunes won't complain about trying to install a 4.2.1 ipsw. Won't be for too long though... everyone grab your SHSH blobs while you can.

It'd be interesting to know why they started signing it again... think I read there's some bugs in 4.3 so maybe they've decided to sign 4.2.1 until 4.3.1 is released. http://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/21/ios-...two-weeks/
