    Help with iphone 3gs

    Ok so my friend has a 16gb iphone 3gs that kept going into emergency mode where the only thing you could do was unlock the screen.(dialing an emergency number did nothing). so i went ahead and when it started working again i hooked it u to itunes in order to update it to the new ios. after i tried that it gave me error 2009 and the phone was stuck in recovery loop. it wont stay off, it will just randomly reboot back into recovery mode. then tried taking it to 4.2.1 following some guides but i would just keep getting errors, then i tried 4.3.3 with no luck. Dont have any shsh blobs and no idea what os the iphone had before i tried to update it. is here any sure way to get the phone back into operating order? i am willing to search and download whatever version f itunes is necessary. a step by ste would be great, im more of an android person and have little to no experience with ireb, ifaith, redsnow, sn0wbreeze, or tiny umbrella.

    And before i have ppl telling me to read and search, i have spent over 15 hours flashing and downloading things and have finally given up on finding something and was hoping someone had an answer for me. thanks in advance

    the one thing that i know is that his phone was unlocked but not jailbroken. help me please

    Hello...if the 3gs has been unlocked I will assume it's been done via iPad baseband unlock...Do update to the newest firmware(ios5.1).... You need to first create a custom firmware...use Sn0wbreeze. Sn0wbreeze will walk you through the whole process...download your 5.1 ipsw from HERE

      ok so i was finally able to do the 15 minute procedure that had taken me 3 days, then i realized after more research that the reason the phone keeps working for a while and then goes into searching, looses bluetooth, wifi, imei, and basebands is because at some point it was pgraded to the ipad basebands (6.15.05) is there anything that will fix this? other than a new chip?
