When I restore to 3.1 custom firmware will iTunes "verify with apple" ?

The idea of custom firmware is being able to trick the computer into thinking it is the real deal. A Trojan horse, if you will (except not deadly).

so... iTunes wont have to contact apples servers? because during the restore i wont have an internet connection. i want to be sure before i brick my phone until i get somewhere with internet. i tether for my internet and of course during the restore i wont have internet.
soo..
will it work offline?
thank u much if u just answer that question :D

Don't worry about whether or not you're online or not.

I literally JUST jailbroke into 3.1.1, and syncing as we speak. So yea, since I'm obviously online, it's no problem. No need to turn off your router/wifi.

Yes, it will work offline.

I myself am on Windows.
I just Jailbroke my iPod Touch 2G, 3.1.1 - Using a custom IPSW File created on a Mac.
Basically, all you have to do is put your device in Recovery Mode, and then Shift+Restore to the Custom IPSW File.

It'll restore,
And when it's done, you'll be Jailbroken.

(:

okay. im just worried cuz while my iphone is restoring i wont have internet as my only means to get to the internet is my iphone :P

I'd do a little more research before you do it, though.

Yeah it restored fine but now it doesn't have any service it just has 1 little bar no carrier logo... I'm on my dads blackberry this really sucks help please?? I have att btw
