    pls advise 3gs with FW 3.1.2 randomly turns offs

    Hi All,

    4 days ago after just sending a txt mesage my 16GB 3GS just turned off as I was looking at it, purchased on Tesco contract(o2 network) Dec 09, came with 3.1.2 FW plus Modem FW 05.11.07 but must have the new bootrom as evertime I turn it off/or it decides to turn off itself you need to run blakrain again to boot it up..

    After much searching over the last 4 days, the turn off randomly seems to be a common problem with some suggestions on how to fix, I've tried them all but it's still switching off with no warning, even though fully charged..

    My dilema is, if I update to 3.1.3 to try and fix the random turn-off's, which is no guarantee that it will fix the issue then as far as I'm aware there is no way at present to jailbreak ? I am unable to restore to 3.1.2 cos I never done a backup/saved my shsh, plus as I'm on the new bootrom I am unable to load a modified firmware..

    Can anyone confirm if I am correct in what I've said above, and basically I'm screwed, I need to somehow get rid of the random switch offs, which may be a hardware error but the only way to find out for sure is to start with a fresh new installed FW..

    Or If I update to 3.1.3 to get rid of the jailbreak and take back to Tesco for a new phone, do you think there is any chance of the 3.1.2 firmware still being on the phones dished out ?

    Would welcome any suggestions/advise, many thanks in advance..

    The blackrain jailbreak on 3gs is a tethered jailbreak that is why your phone keeps going off.if you have the older bootrom use snowbreeze instead to jailbreak it
    google it for some more details
    Thank Me If I Help You

      Was nothing to do with blackrain, which I fully understand how the tethered jailbreak works. Had to take back to apple as it was still the same after a FW update to 3.1.3 which I understand at present has no jailbreak.. The phone switched off with no warning in front of the Apple genius, so he instantly replaced for a new one..

      Was hoping to get lucky and get FW 3.1.2, but was 3.1.3 so i'm screwed until a new jailbreak...
