When I finally had the system turn on. Everything was gone but I was on the same firmware ( 4.50 ita spoofed to 4.66) that I was on when this first happened. I downgraded to dex 3.55 (don't know if that's where I messed up ) and then was going to upgrade back to everything. Well after I downgraded, it wouldn't let me upgrade to anything. It was greyed out and kept saying corrupted. Finally I got it to upgrade to rebug 4.30. But now every time I try to downgrade or upgrade it's greed out and corrupted. I am stuck and don't know what the hell to do. Will someone please help before I mess it up even further. So I'm stuck on 4.30 rebug with no jailbreak because I'm sure I lost it already. Thank you.
Connect the hard drive to PC with cable adapter SATA to USB, do a low level format with HDD Low Level Format Tool, then run hdd regenerator, do a prescan, if it finds bad sectors or delays scan and repair, then do again a prescan, see if it repaired, if not means that the bad sectors are at the hardware level and they can't be repaired, buy a new hdd. If you want some advices to buy the hdd ask me
